Here’s wishing patriotic Americans a happy Fourth of July. As for liberals: you had better keep your kids indoors. The pointy heads at Harvard have discovered that celebrations honoring America and the liberty it stands for could turn them into Republicans: A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn […]
For patriots, the Fourth of July is an opportunity to celebrate the founding of the greatest country the world has ever seen. For liberals, it’s a time to step up attacks on that founding. The July 4 issue of Time features an appalling cover story calling into question the relevance of the Constitution that has […]
Joyeuex anniversaire Great Satan! “The flames kindled on the 4th of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.” Pic – “Independence 4ever!”
Last week’s decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare, which was handed down by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, is troubling on many fronts. Two of the three judges asserted that Congress has the authority under the Commerce Clause to compel individuals’ behavior by dint of their mere existence. A requirement that citizens purchase a […]
Treehugger has a rather interesting story about The Liberty Tree The story of America’s struggle for independence tells tale of heroic men and women united in their noble quest for freedom — but one of the most enduring figures at the center of that revolution was not a person at all. Years before the Founding […]
You’d think that, one day, the Left would figure out that we know exactly who scares the watermelon juice out of them by how much they attack that person/group. Conversely, we know who doesn’t scare them, because they say “that guy scares us!” (see John Huntsman). Michele Bachmann is on the top of the hit-list […]
This is a pretty old joke, but it seems appropriate to retell it on this Fourth: An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young Men his age, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, […]
“All warfare is based upon deception” as China’s ancient Warcraft master taught, and like vClausewitz (or maybe it was Batman) once sagely saged – self deception is the worst deception of all. Daemoneoconically delish Foundation For Defense of Democrazies President Clifford May (Oh! He got game bay bee!) points out 5 deceits – self imposed […]
Bill Clinton said what? When I was president, we raised the corporate income-tax rates on corporations that made over $10 million [a year]. It made sense when I did it. It doesn’t make sense anymore — we’ve got an uncompetitive rate. We tax at 35 percent of income, although we only take about 23 percent. […]
If you needed yet another example of why government employees should never be allowed to join unions, this is it. In Racine, Wisconsin the local fireman’s union got into an imbroglio over a July 4th parade float honoring the fallen first responders of the Sept. 11 attacks, a parade entry that the union supported previously. […]
In keeping with the many dozens of gaffes that Obama has made over the years, Verum Serum found another one from last February that has, with the help of the Old Media, slipped under the radar. Just more proof that Obama’s constant gaffes go unreported by the Old Media while they search high and low […]

She’s a nice lady Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is getting more creative, and apparently more aggressive, in her political attacks against President Barack Obama. On Saturday, the Minnesota congresswoman took fresh jabs at the president. In one instance, Bachmann said she hoped to oust him from his current employment, become president herself — and […]
Greg Mankiw argues and I agree with him 100%: My advice: Amend your line in the sand to NO INCREASES IN TAX RATES.: Be willing to give up on tax expenditures if we simultaneously make current tax rates permanent–or, better yet, if we: lower rates, as the Bowles-Simpson commission suggested.
“A most impressive feature of capitalism that is highlighted in the McDonald’s case is how its institutions so beautifully adapt themselves to change. The drift is always upward: new and improved. And this drift is like a wind that never stops blowing unless it is stopped by the organized force of the state.”

You are no doubt going to hear the weekend talk panels discussing the “bullish” new White House report on the economy and jobs creation which was released late Friday. You can decide where to file the “report.” : Here are the FACTS:
Cross-posted at UNCOVERAGE.net My story yesterday about “following the buck” in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn rape case still stands….and now we have more clues about everyone’s motivation. The conclusion is: Just about everyone involved in this DSK scandal, from beginning to end, is an amoral piece of crap.
Cross-Posted from FrontPage Magazine For more than 40 years Beatles member John Lennon towered above all others as the Left’s most powerful artistic icon. His anthem “Imagine” dreamed of a unified world that transcended the divides of nation-states and religious strife. It was an inspiration to generations of utopians. Now a new documentary reveals a […]
Enjoy!
Apparently, when no one was looking, the Jaycees became a pro-Infanticide group. I wonder about this because the United States Junior Chamber Jaycees has thrown the Palatine Area Catholics Respect Life Group out of the Palatine, Illinois July Fourth parade, preventing them from participating in this year’s celebration. The Jaycees claim that they have done […]
Six and a half months out, and Republican presidential candidates are already flocking to Iowa. New Hampshire, too. And for good reason: if the same candidate wins both those states, that candidate’s likely to be the Republican nominee for President. On the other hand, a candidate who does poorly in either or both is likely […]
Americans are so focused on Congress and Obama at the federal level of government right now that most are overlooking the socialism creeping in at the local level through Agenda 21. It is easy to overlook local government since people are saturated with too much information in the internet age. Compounding this is the fact […]
The law has not caught up with cell phone cameras, Flip Cameras, compact video cameras, and the electronic age. Two stories being reported last weekend prove out how the ubiquity of video capture devices are often a gray area in the law. In one case a woman in Rochester, New York, pulled out her video […]
Suriya al- Kubra! Syria – punches far above her weight class in diplopolititary deals. Instead of cool stuff like Hooters, literacy rates off the charts or creating advanced avionics – Bashar Bay Bee follows poppa Assad’s script utilizing asymmetrical assets creating a slave trading Syria, abusing Palestinians as a strategic minority resource, fiddling about with […]
Deep in your heart, you just knew someone was going to link Independence Day and globull warming. In this case, it’s George Soros funded Think Progress: Global Warming Hates The Fourth Of July As fossil fuel pollution heats the planet, one of the casualties is the traditional celebration of the founding of the United States.

The conversation for NMP Obama’s Weekly Address probably went something like O.: I want to yammer on about corporate jets Staff: OK, that’s good, because Americans are really concerned about them. You should probably mention Independence Day O.: You mean that right wingnut holiday? Is that this weekend? What’s it about? S.: It’s Monday, Mr. […]
Good piece. Especially nice is this reminder of one of Robert Heinlein’s great quotes: Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded – here and there, now and then – are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed […]
