Ever since Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the 2000 presidential election, there has been a major push to abandon the Electoral College system. Superficially, there is a sense that the election was unfair and everyone’s vote did not count equally.: Three or four: times in history we have elected a president who did not […]
Occupy Wall Street is growing with protests across the country. We on the right have had fun making fun of the protesters protesting against capitalism and corporatism while using all the corporate products that we all enjoy, but I think it’s time we stopped making fun of them. Because whether you think they are silly […]
You asked for it, you got it: Friday open thread! No diary rescue, because, of course, conservatives don’t do diaries, like the Nancy’s on the left do. We do posts. Anyhow, squirrel! Anyhow, someone doesn’t understand that ninja’s don’t “storm in”. Oral sex may be a leading cause of throat and mouth cancer. An Aussie […]
The actual take-away from the Washington Post editorial is that Obama should appear to be more upset, because it looks bad politically for him to be so blase’ about blowing half a billion dollars on a company that was bound to fail (Washington Post) ONCE THE OBAMA administration’s paragon of a clean-energy future, Solyndra has […]
I think we can all agree that it is not a matter of if violence occurs from this movement that’s about….well, the same old left wing gripes…., but a matter of when violence occurs. The more this Leftist protest spreads across the country, putting dirty, unshowered, and unhinged liberals on the street with average folks […]
1) Mitt Romney: Bachmann was a top tier candidate and she folded. Perry rocketed into first place and has now dropped back to third in most polls. Cain shot up from back of the pack to the top tier. All the while, Romney remained right near the top. Moreover, he’s looking extremely strong in New […]
Why The Tea Party Is Better Than Occupy Wall Street: Why the Tea Partiers are better people than the Occupy Wall Street crowd
I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million. And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the reeducation […]
Brian Phillips is the head of communications for the NYC General Assembly, the group primarily responsible for occupying Wall Street. I learned about him while listening to National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition.” According to NPR, Phillips is “an ex-Marine with a bachelor’s in computer science. Today he is wearing a sock on his head.” “My […]
It’s Supreme’s week in Washington and I don’t mean the Motown group once led by Diana Ross. The Supreme Court is back in session and the nine justices will consider a number of polarizing and controversial issues, not the least of which will likely be the constitutionality of “Obamacare” and its mandate that every citizen […]
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 […]
Barack Obama is so doomed politically that he sits behind his desk in the Oval Office with a vulture on each shoulder. And every day at noon, Joe Biden comes in dressed as the Grim Reaper, and they all play gin. I know this because the Poll Gods tell me this. A recent McClatchy/Marist poll […]
Obama’s Thursday news conference was a sober reminder of the nature of the man in the Oval Office. I infer that even many of his supporters in the liberal media are finally catching on to the magnitude of his personality disorders. How could a man in his important position continue to act so childishly, accepting […]
Here is your high-resolution teachable moment of the week: anti-capitalist, anti-corporate extremists of “Occupy Wall Street” mourning Apple Inc. founder Steve Jobs without a trace of irony. While the Kamp Alinsky Kids ditch school to moan about their massive student debt, parade around in zombie costumes and whine about evil corporations over poached Wi-Fi connections, […]
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, has just proven that while Obama runs around the country on campaign appearances claiming that he wants to work with Republicans to “pass this bill,” his party has no interest whatsoever in actually doing so. Reid is trying to pass new rules to prevent Republicans form […]
By now, you’ve probably heard that, if the EPA had it’s way, they’d shut down every coal power plant in the country and replace it with tenderly-gardened patchouli fields and useless, circular solar panels that hippies will dance around in the moonlight, chanting and wearing nothing but copies of the Clean Air Act. Despite what […]
Can anyone be this arrogant? President Obama visited with some school children in Texas on Wednesday and read a nice little story book to the kiddies. Guess who the star of the book was? You guessed it, himself. Obama was visiting an early education program Eastfield College in Mesquite, Texas and chose to read a […]
Looks like the Unions are now endorsing the unwashed masses infesting… er, investing Wall Street. CNN has the story… Wall Street Protests Grow After Unions’ Endorsement Wall Street protests swelled Wednesday to their largest numbers yet, after local unions pledged support to a third week of demonstrations against income inequality, corporate greed, corruption and a […]
It looks like the Obama administration scandal Fast and Furious is growing. If you aren’t familiar with what Fast and Furious is, I’ll try and catch you up. Some agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) became concerned with this program in June and came forward. Instead of making sure guns […]
At first, I thought this might have been a campaign by Cincinnati’s Chamber of Commerce, or perhaps something to get people to attend Bengels’ games, alas, no, it’s just another unhinged attempt at giving liberals another avenue for airing their same old grievances, which typically devolve to ” hey, gimme, I’m entitled” (Cincinnati.com) Occupy Cincinnati […]
Obviously, Democrats have a problem with this (CNS News) U.S. House Republicans fired another shot across the bow of the United Nations Wednesday, advancing a bill to defund a U.N. agency accused of complicity in China’s coercive population control policies. By a 23-17 vote along party lines, the House Foreign Relations Committee approved a bill, […]
Even for a narcissist who gives iPods loaded with his own speeches as gifts, this is kind of tacky. Before his speech Tuesday at Eastfield College in Mesquite, Tex., President Obama stopped by an early childhood education laboratory with children ages 3 to 5. Among his reading selections: A book about the presidential dog Bo, […]
So, Hank Williams Jr. made some thoughtless comments about Barack Obama. In an interview Monday morning on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Williams, unprompted, said of Obama’s outing on the links with House Speaker John Boehner: “It’d be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu.” Asked to clarify, Williams said, “They’re the […]
Texas is an agriculture-friendly border state, and its population is roughly 37% Hispanic. In a state like that, where the Texas version of the DREAM Act was genuinely popular on both sides of the aisle, you can’t realistically expect a governor to compile an ideologically pure record on illegal immigration. So with that in mind, […]
New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie probably had more suitors than Portia in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and yet in the end he made the right decision not to run for president. It was the correct decision on several levels. First, the media, which loves to build people up in order to tear them […]
“Stan: Uh, excuse me. Excuse me, can I have your attention please? What are we doing? [the crowd quiets down] It’s been nine days! Doesn’t it seem like we should accomplish something? A hippie: We’re using the power of rock and roll to change the world! Woo! [the crowd cheers] Stan: Maybe instead of complaining […]
Once upon a time, loud dissent, filibustering in the Senate and gridlock in the House were as democratic as apple pie. A Senator Obama once defended his attempts to block confirmation votes on judicial appointments by alleging, “The Founding Fathers established the filibuster as a means of protecting the minority from the tyranny of the […]
“The way I think about it is, you know, this is, uh, you know, a great, uh, great country that had gotten a little soft, and you know, we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last, uh, couple of decades. We need to get back on track.” — President Barack […]
Leadership, said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in his press conference Tuesday announcing he would not reverse his decision not to run for president, is something you can’t be taught or learn. “Leadership today in America has to be about doing the big things and being courageous.” No one doubts that Christie has shown this […]
I am not the first to note the vast differences between the Wall Street protesters and the tea partiers. To name three: The tea partiers have jobs, showers and a point. No one knows what the Wall Street protesters want — as is typical of mobs. They say they want Obama re-elected, but claim to […]
