DES MOINES, Iowa While watching TV news in my motel this morning, I saw a Michele Bachmann ad, aimed directly at getting her supporters out to next week’s Ames Straw Poll: It’s a good ad: She slams Washington “politicians,” blames the bad economy on Obama, says, “Someone needs to say no,” and closes with an […]
Writ of State! The ancient Westphalian concept can often be dumbed down to mean only l’etat has the monopoly on violence ( and you know THAT means lol ). In the new millennium voltiguer, conscript and professional armies, police and militaries are the nation/state’s instrument of choice in full filling certain statecraft crafts. Unexceptional exceptions […]
And we all know what happens when they actually focus on jobs: things get much worse. Then they get distracted by a shiny abortion or something, and things slowly get worse The debt ceiling crisis barely was averted Tuesday when President Barack Obama and other top Democrats were ready to change the subject. Obama offered […]
Well, what they said was she won round 1. If the Dems, any of her GOP primary opponents, or any insider Republican fools, attempt to try this route again, I think they will find themselves losing many, many female supporters Rep.

Matt Damon SAYS that he wants higher taxes on people like him. He told reporters, “I’m so disgusted… The wealthy are paying less than they paid at any time else, certainly in my lifetime, and probably in the last century. I don’t know what we were paying in the roaring ’20s; it’s criminal that so […]
So, how’s the liberal effort to force overpriced, underperforming electric cars on the public going? Ehr, not so well… A LONG WAY TO GO: Nissan Leaf sales hit 931, Chevy Volt at 125 in July. So, how does that square with this? “We can break our dependence on oil…and become the first country to have […]
If you talk to 10 different economists, you’ll probably hear 10 slightly different theories as to why the economy is and has been so mediocre throughout the Obama presidency. For whatever it’s worth, here’s my explanation. #1) The economy was riding a housing bubble that was being driven by shaky loans encouraged by the government. […]
The Houston Press and the Dallas Observer went all out snarky on Texas Gov. Perry’s upcoming prayer rally at Reliant Stadium called “The Response.” How can you blame them? : Christians are the only group that one who is: politically: correct can make fun of. : Funny though. Last week when President Obama gathered with Christian leaders to pray […]
From Johnhawkinsrwn * The government thinks it’s in charge. Break its rules, fight the power, defy, and rebel. That’s conservatism. * If Obama had migraines, the press would be calling them “head parties” and would say they’re caused by “caring.” * I wonder how many poor people ever consider that Dems want them to stay […]
Ouch. From a Rasmussen poll: 69% Say It’s Likely Scientists Have Falsified Global Warming Research (via Skeptics Corner) The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 69% say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs, including 40% […]
People tend to respond to incentives, even if those incentives run counter to their biological drives. According to a new study by the New York-based think tank the Center for Work-Life Policy, 43 percent of college-educated women between the ages of 33 and 46 are childless. And nowhere does that statistic resonate more than here. […]
“Is it any wonder? I reject you first…” Autocrats, dictators, leaders for life! The latter bit of the last millennium shows perfectly well what a world full of despots looks like. The last century was like the bloodiest ever and all thanks to dictators. It was bloody not only because of the wars; it was […]
One consolation is that when moonbattery is through destroying our civilization, at least we’ll still have art — or at least, we’ll have a moonbat’s conception of art. From the remnants of America’s most liberal city: The above is part of the Heidelberg Project, which goes on for two blocks. The Heidelberg Project is art, […]
While the establishment punditocracy squabbles over who won, it’s clear to everyone else who lost in the Boehner/Reid/Obama debt debacle: America. The stock market responded to the RINO sellout to Cloward-Piven tax and spend Democrats by tanking: Stocks were lower in choppy trading Wednesday, following a handful of tepid economic news and amid growing uncertainty […]
Examiner blogger Adam Meister was doing what bloggers do, namely posting the info that “journalists” refuse to write about. In this case, back in March, Meister found that a Baltimore Councilwoman was living in a different district than she claimed she was living in.

Why, yes, they are still pushing their failed cult, in this case, on little snowflakes who are sure to grow up with all sorts of mental issues from being constantly scared by adults. In a sane world, these people would be prosecuted for child abuse: U.S. Education Dep’t Pushes Man-Made Global Warming, Saving the Earth […]
Remember when the liberal scolds were calling for a new era of civility? Politico’s Roger Simon had this to write “Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let us use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy, and remind ourselves of all […]
Calling Tea Partiers “Tea baggers” is soooooo 2010. The hot new insult is calling us “terrorists.” Everyone from Chris Matthews to the The Politico to members of Congress like Mike Doyle have used the insult. Of course, my thought was that if liberals think we’re terrorists, then maybe they should ask what they’ve done to […]
If this story is to be believed, Christianity is so close to dead in Sweden that it should be on life support. Nearly three-quarters of Sweden’s population of 9.4 million continue to belong to what was long the official state church of this Nordic nation, according to a recent survey. Yet only 15 percent of […]
If you’re asking the question, “Could the GOP have gotten a significantly better debt ceiling deal?” — you’re probably generally pleased with the deal because the honest answer is “No, even if they’d held out, they wouldn’t have gotten a much better deal.” On the other hand, if you’re asking the question, “Does this debt […]
The Democratic Party and their pals in the mainstream media have been having a conniption fit over the Republican Party’s failure to completely capitulate during the debt ceiling battle. In fact, liberal columnists like Paul Krugman have been comparing it to holding American hostage. Here’s Krugman in May of this year. America Held Hostage Six […]
You had to know the cigarette jihad was only the beginning. Now they want to take away arguably America’s most iconic food, hot dogs: Instead of grouping hot dogs with Mom and apple pie, a national medical group wants you to consider them as bad for your health as cigarettes. The Physicians Committee for Responsible […]
Under rule by progressive statists, most everything that isn’t mandatory is forbidden. Saving baby woodpeckers isn’t yet required by law, consequently… Eleven-year-old aspiring veterinarian, Skylar Capo, sprang into action the second she learned that a baby woodpecker in her Dad’s backyard was about to be eaten by the family cat. “I’ve just always loved animals,” […]
Sweet! One of the beneficent benefits the ancient Vulcan enablers and actualizers knew was oh so true mein schatze was and is: -: a future worth creating was and is totally worth defending – and that means being the bully (in a friendly, fun to be with kinda way) on the block yo – pro […]
The Boehner Bill passed the House and is expected to pass the Senate later today, and Obama will sign it. The bill caused much division. The Tea Party Congressmen saying we needed deeper cuts, and the leftwing saying we needed to raise taxes with it. There was a feel good moment when Gabby Giffords was […]
Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, lefty political commentator, and so-called “economist,” is despondent over the failure of President Obama to “tell Americans the truth” about the budget debate now coursing through Washington D.C. Reich is very typical of how the far left in American politics is furious at Obama’s constant failure […]
…are we finally free to call Liberals the traitors they are? Yeah, the NY Times ratchets up the discourse for the “New Tone”. This, after Biden was accused of saying “They have acted like terrorists.” He denied that, just that he “let other Democrat lawmakers vent.” So, venting includes elected Federal officials referring to a […]
You just knew that this was bound to happen at some point. And what better time to sneak in this lawsuit than when everyone was focused on the debt ceiling fight? The Justice Department filed a challenge to Alabama’s tough anti-illegal-immigration law Monday, arguing that the Constitution prohibits state and local governments from creating a […]
