I think Delta Airlines should change its name to Omega Airlines because at this point it is the last airline that I’ll ever fly. Not only did Delta try to charge our returning soldiers thousands of dollars to check their bags as they came back from the wars, now the airlines has intertwined itself with […]
When Barack Obama threw millions of our tax dollars at General Motors to “save it,” the administration claimed that it would not involve itself in the “day-to-day management” of the venerable car company. New emails obtained by The Daily Caller, however, casts doubt on this claim. In fact, as Matthew Boyle reports, the emails “reveal […]
Following the previous post, we see once again that Obama just doesn’t understand how the private sector works, and thinks he can just blink his eyes and things magically happen President Obama on Friday will announce the launch of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP), an initiative that would provide more than $500 million to encourage […]
Hey, when even Carrie Budoff Brown at The Politico can barely find words to support Mr. Obama, things are seriously in the dumps for Team Hopey Changey: President Obama struggles with economic message President Barack Obama isn’t just grasping for ways to jolt the flailing economy. He’s struggling simply to find the right words to […]
“I am certain you know that I am in favor of competition. So any type of monopoly, I would not be in favor of…” — Milton Friedman When one company dominates the free market to such an extent that it creates a monopoly, consumers will benefit if that company is broken up by the government. […]
Men today are definitely weaker, less masculine, and more childlike than they used to be in the country. That’s not a good thing for the country or for American women. Still, I’m not sure the definition of masculinity discussed here is entirely on point anymore: They say it’s a man’s world, but Ernest Hemingway wouldn’t […]
The Left is so obsessed with Sarah Palin that crazy libs are even sending me Sarah Palin-themed hate mail. From YouTube yesterday. U will pay….. and sarah palin will pay as well!!! letting that lil’ retarded baby of hers live is a sin!!! he can’t function in this world!!! someone needs to spare him the […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: If The Jobs Aren’t Shovel Ready, Obama’s Campaign Should Be
But the bottom line is, whose side are you on? Are you on Qadhafi’s side or are you on the side of the aspirations of the Libyan people and the international coalition that has been created to support them? For the Obama Administration, the answer to that question is very easy. — Hillary Clinton A […]
Our rogue government’s approach to food stamps is twofold: 1) vastly increase their use and 2) facilitate the inevitable fraud. Here at least Obama’s disastrous presidency has been a big success: Thanks in part to vigorous federally funded campaigns by nonprofit groups, the government’s AmericaCorps service program, and other organizations urging people to accept government […]
In an appalling example of its increasing heavy-handedness, the Nanny State will be imposing revolting graphic propaganda images on cigarette packaging starting in October of next year: The new labels must occupy the top half of the front and back of a cigarette pack, and the various images will be accompanied by messages such as […]
Peter Wehner writes about Obama’s decision to draw down troops in Afghanistan, something that (just coincidentally, of course) will take place right before Obama’s reelection bid. Wehner is appalled, and he explains that this gross political calculation isn’t the way it needs to be: I have the advantage of having served a president during wartime. […]
The newly publicized life-story of award winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas seems to be one of those revelatory stories that tends to confirm some of the worst charges against liberals and the Old Media. The media sees no reason not to break the law, it employs people with political agendas, and all the while refuses […]
With one regulatory decision after anther, Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has repeatedly abused its position and lent its powers to come to the material aid of Big Labor. This week we see the NLRB coming to the aid of unions yet again by changing rules to fast track union votes in businesses not […]
Congressman Peter Roskam, House GOP Deputy Majority Whip, got on record the fact that as things stand right now Medicare is dead by 2024. No ifs, ands, or buts, unless a major overhaul of the system is undertaken, Medicare is done in a little more than a decade. Before congress two officials testified that based […]
“So we have come to a time for choosing,” warned Ronald Reagan in his famous speech nominating Barry Goldwater for President in 1964. It was one of the most important speeches in American history — and remains terrifyingly true today. Millions without jobs. American values under attack. Bailouts, deficits, and debt that threatens the future […]
Jirga! 44’s hello ’bout ‘nnouncing the AFPAK Surge will be scaling down by 10K troops this year enroute to unSurging the force levels had some interesting stuff in it. Kinda. Zooming out of AFPAK (which featured only tiny bite sized bits about Land of the Pure – the PAK part of AFPAK) 44 unveiled a […]
Why does Jon Huntsman even matter enough for a post, you ask? Well, he is the Liberal Old Media’s preferred GOP frontrunner and general election nominee. Getting past the issue of Huntsman family donations to Harry Reid, the Politico tells us that Huntsman sees independents as key Jon Huntsman sketched out a path to the […]
Ann Coulter’s new book is called Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America. I’ve read it, it’s outstanding, and I’d highly recommend that you read it, too. To give you a taste of what it’s like, here’s RWN’s seventh interview with Ann Coulter. Enjoy! In the book, you described Jon Stewart’s audience as “idiots” […]
Liberals and Commies, which are basically the same thing at this point, love them some population control. Whether you’re talking Malthus, Paul Ehrlich, Planned Parenthooc, or China’s one child policy, liberals are forevermore yearning to cull the human herd. There’s just something about massive numbers of human beings disappearing into the ether that makes liberal […]
Cartoon: Obama Listens
Remember how excited you used to get about getting a gift at Christmas when you were a little kid? Well, one of the things I admire about my dog Patton (and, yes, there’s more than one) is his enthusiasm. Give him a little $3 squeaky toy from Wal-Mart and he’s thrilled out of his mind […]
Later this week, I’m going to be adding a crew of moderators at RWN. If you’d like to be one of them, say so in the comment section. PS: I’m going to look back at your previous comments to see how well you play with others. If the answer is “not very,” you’re not going […]
Who knew that trying to get Other People to Do Something could be so stressful? Let’s face it: If you care about the environment, you’ve got a lot of reasons to be bummed out. Is the sorry state of the planet dragging you into the dumps? John Fraser, a psychologist, architect, and educator with the […]
President Barack Obama came before the American people tonight to unleash his latest campaign speech disguised as a foreign policy address. It was a presentation that even Politico calls “boring and predictable, balanced to please critics,” and one that “did not change the debate about the war.” But, one thing does seem like news. Obama […]
These notes were jotted down as a I watched Obama speak. I wanted to get them out first thing, before I heard what everyone else had to say. * Obama’s starting to look a little more grey. * By the time I got into office Afghanistan was falling apart. Not so. * I ordered 30,000 […]
In the name of childhood obesity hysteria, the Obama Regime is tightening its control of what we eat: Tony the Tiger, some NASCAR drivers and cookie-selling Girl Scouts will be out of a job unless grocery manufacturers agree to reinvent a vast array of their products to satisfy the Obama administration’s food police. Either retool […]
So much for the imaginary wall between Church and State progressives revered until recently. Hyper-liberal Maryland, ranked as having the least personal freedom in the union, will no longer allow anyone to graduate from high school who hasn’t been deemed sufficiently indoctrinated in the cult of Envirofascism, as Curriculum Matters announced yesterday: Today’s vote by […]
Homeowners’ Associations (“HOAs”) are losing money due to the high numbers of foreclosures and are scrambling to make up for it by assessing additional fees on the remaining homeowners. Banks are taking: longer to foreclose on homes, leaving homes in limbo for months on end with no monthly fees coming in to the HOAs.: 13 percent of […]
Last weekend Americans For Prosperity once again held its RightOnLine conference, this year in beautiful downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Consequently, the Atlantic Magazine decided to do a report on what went on at RightOnLine. Unfortunately, the whole thing was filled with opinions stated as fact, misconstructions of facts, and outright lies. Sadly, along with the rest […]
