On Debt Talks, Charlie Rangel Gets All Religiousy

It’s kinda funny, since Democrats see no religious issues involved with abortion on demand, but, reducing government spending? WWJD? In what seemed more like a Sunday church service than a Capitol Hill press conference, Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., called out for his fellow lawmakers and all Americans to do “the Lord’s work” as a solution […]

Obama’s Solution To Joblessness: High Speed Rail

That, and other small ball measures, as the LA Times points out. Just the kinds of ideas one would expect from a (not my) president with virtually no experience in the private sector As White House aides search for ways to show progress on the economy, they are banking that a set of small-scale proposals […]

Testimony in favor of Wal-Mart from Stone Street Advisors

Reluctant testimony it seems, but testimony nonetheless. At Walmart, we found a surprisingly large lawn & garden section, including a grill selection rivaling that at Home Depot and Lowe’s.:  I was previously unaware Walmart dabbled in pavers and masonry block, but apparently, they do.:  When people say that you can literally get anything at Walmart, […]

If Obama is smart, he’ll put David Plouffe in charge of his 2012 re-election campaign immediately.

That’s if Obama is smart. Not as smart as David Plouffe, obviously, because, come on. Who’s as smart as David Plouffe? Nobody. That’s who. Promote this guy. Fast. Top Obama adviser says unemployment won’t be key in 2012 Genius. Cross-posted at The TrogloPundit. UPDATE — somebody make Joe shut up!

Today’s Democrats and Slaveholders

In his seminal and ultimately destructive majority opinion in the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford, Chief Justice Roger Taney claimed that the United States Constitution denied a former slave citizenship, and thus standing in federal court. He also construed the Constitution to deny Congress power to regulate the territories with respect to slavery: “The […]

Politicians’ Immoral Behavior Becoming Acceptable

Politicians today are getting away with higher levels of disgraceful behavior. Even just a few years ago it was a shock when a high-level political official did something immoral or promoted inappropriate values. When former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders said in 1994 that masturbation should be promoted to deter young people from engaging in risky […]

No Answer From White House on Involvement in Fast and Furious

The relatively trivial Watergate scandal brought down a presidency not because Richard Nixon had any involvement in it, but because he unwisely tried to cover it up. We may never know for sure that Barack Hussein Obama knew all along that his administration was helping Mexican drug lords smuggle American guns, but he sure hasn’t […]

Obama’s Veritable Intercontinental FAILroad

Well, maybe John Sexton and I both gave Obama a little too much credit on this “intercontinental railroad” gaffe? When he and I wrote about this little gaffe we both assumed that it was no big deal, that it was juts a slip of the tongue — and an easy one to make at that […]

Info Age Arms Race

Information is intell and intell is power. Thus – unlimited info = unlimited power! Oh, you know this is so. The very same cat that enabled two of Great Satan’s hyperpuissant fans to unleash “Shi Lang” upon a world worried about Collectivist China’s not so Peaceful Looking Rise – returns to continue to put steel […]

Democrats Upset Over GOP Plans To Tighten Voting Laws

Obviously, any attempts to reduce voting fraud would handicap Democrats Democrats and Republicans are clashing in state capitals across the country as GOP-controlled legislatures push proposals to tighten voting requirements — a move prominent critics have decried as a throwback to Jim Crow laws. The proposals include measures in nearly three-dozen states to either require […]

Soros Funded Think Progrees Hyperventilates Over Bachmann Signing Family Leader Pledge

So, a bit of background The Family Leader, a prominent Iowa group that promotes Christian conservative social values, said Thursday it is asking all presidential candidates to sign a pledge regarding their personal convictions on traditional marriage. The pledge is entitled, “The Marriage Vow — A Declaration of Dependence upon Marriage and Family.” The organization’s […]

Agenda 21: Green Marxism

Gun-grabbing isn’t the only item on the United Nations’ agenda that targets American liberties. One of the reasons they need us disarmed is to impose schemes like Agenda 21: Agenda 21 is a UN initiative that 178 governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) adopted in 1992 under the auspices of […]

Newsweek: White House Intimidation of NBC ‘Reprehensible’

The Old Media is still acting shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the Obama administration treats them like a redheaded stepchild. Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, for instance, is incredulous at the “reprehensible” actions of the Obama White House for having the temerity to call NBC to scold the cabler over Mark Halperin’s “dick” comment. You’ll […]

So what’s the next stop for Spitzer? “Dancing With the Stars?” Or some Kardashian-like reality TV show?

“The subterranean demographic just never watched,” a CNN executive explained. “We needed those viewers. Even a few eyeless fish would have helped.” Full disclosure: I made the preceding quotes up. You may have figured that out. The story: CNN Cancels ‘In the Arena’ With Eliot Spitzer I never watched it, so it’s probably my fault. […]

Even as Matthew Yglesias continues to defend Keynsian economics, he appears to have sincerely pivoted away from his own stats.

We all enjoy taking the occasional shot at Matthew Yglesias, but credit where it’s due: at least he’s willing to take the occasional shot at his own side: Even as the Obama administration continues to defend the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act from its critics, the White House appears to have sincerely pivoted away from […]

Gay “Mafia” Threatens Traditional Marriage Supporters and Misses the Point

Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net: Supporters of traditional marriage in the state of Washington are experiencing what Californians against gay marriage suffered in 2008: Lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/transgender/queers posing as “activists” : can threaten to kill you and your family, destroy your property and business, and harass anyone associated with you and get away with it.:  In the meantime, the gay […]
