Guns, Guitars and Government Raids

It’s enough to make all tree-hugging, EPA-loving, spotted owl seekers weep. In August, armed federal agents raided the offices and factories of the legendary Gibson Guitar Corp. in Nashville and Memphis. It was the second time the feds had ransacked the renowned Tennessee guitar-maker since President Barack Obama took office. And what were they going […]

What Are Cain and Bachmann All About?

In the lunch alert videos on DickMorris.com last week and this week, Herman Cain, and then Michele Bachmann was interviewed to discuss their candidacies and perspectives. What emerged is a fascinating portrait of these two people and what their campaigns are really all about. (Actually, a clearer impression emerges of their programs than they themselves […]

How Obama Is Bypassing Democracy, Congress and YOU

Phil Kerpen has a warning for you, America. He wants to alert you to the fact that Barack Obama is using his powers to create regulations to undermine Congress, ignore voters, and “radically transform America.” But Kerpen also has some good news. There’s a way to stop this left-wing assault on our country. You can […]

Rep. Jan Schakowsky Thinks Gov’t ‘Creates Jobs’

Recently Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D, Illinois 9th District), whose husband has been convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion, was interviewed by the far left website truthout. You’ll remember truthout for its scoop back in 2009. It was truthout that was the first to report the big news that Karl Rove had been indicted. Unfortunately […]

Perry Pathetically Hits Romney On His Wealth, Plans To Join #OWS

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the minute Rick Perry jumped into the GOP presidential primary race, it turned much nastier, rather than just some jostling back and forth. It was more focused on each candidate providing their ideas on the future of America, and the candidates were running more against Obama […]

Reid’s Nuclear Option Brings On The Law Of Unintended Consequences

Hey, Harry, don’t you just hate when your plans jump up and smack you right in the kisser? (The Hill) Senate Republicans vow they will retaliate for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) decision to unilaterally change the Senate’s rules Thursday without prior warning or negotiation. Republican aides say their bosses will now be even […]

Is America Building Kids’ Self-Esteem Or Creating Narcissism?

I’ve been reading Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. It’s an outstanding book that I would highly recommend. Although the book is non-political, there was one particular section that really grabbed my attention. It was called “From Self-esteem to Narcissism.” Here’s an excerpt. Enjoy! Yes, students with higher self-esteem did have higher grades. But which […]

Socialism Isn’t About Roads, Parks, & Street Signs

Ever notice that whenever you complain about socialism and big government, someone pops up to say, “Oh, so you don’t like roads, school, and parks, eh? Why, I guess if you had your way the government wouldn’t do food safety inspections and we wouldn’t have a military.” Um….no, stupid. Those are the basics that ANY […]

Obama Team Split on How To Rally Unruly Coalition

President Barack Obama obviously is scrambling in his attempt to win re-election. He has proclaimed himself the underdog and has given up his pretense of being a pragmatic centrist compromiser in favor of harsh class warfare rhetoric. But it’s worth taking note of what he has squandered. In 2008, Obama won 53 percent of the […]

Wall Street and Its Occupiers: Both State Welfare Junkies

Since I first broke the news of the Occupy Wall Street protest plans in this space over a month ago, events, as predicted in that column, have turned into a cluster-hug of groups and causes. A collective of union members, antiwar activists and young people with apparently nothing better going on have gathered to vent […]

Occupy Wall Street Morons Pushing For Boycott Against Banks

And, when I call them morons, I’m not simply using typical language that us folks in political blogging use against our opponents (unlike those on the left, I do not consider them enemies, like the left thinks about the right): in this case, they are morons. Here’s a CNBC story from Friday which jumped into […]

Video: Mitt Flops

-By Warner Todd Huston So…. do we believe all the things Mitt Romney said then or do we believe that today he is suddenly Mt. Conservative? This is why I cannot support Romney in this primary. I didn’t support him in the last one, for that matter. This video was made by The Campaign to […]

DJEver Notice? LXVII

Someday, I should make a point of starting a recurring headline that runs something like “What they told me is going on all over the place, and I must not be paying attention because I can’t find any examples” but shorter. (For all that loquacity, I still haven’t defined who the “they” is, and I […]

“‘Putting profits over people’ is like ‘getting back to nature’. When, exactly, were you not in nature?”

The Other McCain’s Smitty wonders about the “profits before people” complaint: Is there something unnatural about this keyboard? Does its matter not matter? Is it anti-matter? These physical objects are all derived, ultimately, from the Periodic Table of Elements, no? The real grip about arguments such as these is that they are first and foremost […]

Do Solyndra Emails Show Potential Illegality?

Yesterday, the Washington Post published a story about the push for Solyndra loan coming from the top at the White House. That story came out around 4pm Friday. I, like many others covered it. That story has been heavily re-written by the authors late Friday night (at least the link goes to the story, and […]

Why Isn’t Obama’s Teacher Lie National News?

During the latest campaign appearance disguised as a presidential press conference, President Obama uttered one straight out lie that stands out above the rest of them. To help sell his “jobs bill,” Obama claimed to have met a Boston-based teacher named Robert Baroz and intimated that Baroz had no job despite his excellent teaching credentials. […]
