Today a left-wing, anti-American student at Louisiana State University wanted to burn a flag for, he claimed, “due process for students and suspected terrorists alike.” Yeah. Whatever. As it happens, the students he was claiming to represent didn’t seem to appreciate his idea, though. Several hundred of them turned out to the place where he […]
Illinois Governor, Democrat Pat Quinn has decided that it is a great idea to release violent, hardcore criminals among the citizens of his own state. At least those criminals that are illegal aliens, anyway. Why do I say this? Because Quinn has pulled the State of Illinois from the Secure Communities program operated by the […]
Pensions are the single biggest problem that every state, county and city in the Union face and New York City is no different. It is so bad that even as New York City has seen the numbers of its government employees fall, its costs in fringe benefits and pensions have still continued to soar. (Download […]
Steve Gill* found an amusing little story. Apparently a German television news show had a report on Seal Team 6, the group responsible for taking down Osama bin Ladden, and the TV folks meant to show the military patch of the Seals on-air. But instead of showing Seal Team 6’s actual arm patch, the morons […]
The American flag represents our country, our Constitution, our history, and our Armed Forces, yet it doesn’t represent our government, which is dominated by people hostile to everything it stands for. This is why Old Glory strikes the eye as a jarringly artificial prop when used as a backdrop by our progressive rulers. It’s also […]
It would be hard to find a story more emblematic of Obamunism: Just last month the U.S. sent two Air force cargo planes to help Mexico battle back wildfires in the northern part of its country, fires that burned 386 square miles. It’s a move that West Texas Congressman Francisco Canseco (R-Fort Stockton) thinks is […]
It’s always fun to pick on the ACLU. I mean, let’s just look at a few of it’s greatest hits from the past week and half, shall we? In case you were wondering whether you can ask the state to let you change your gender on your birth certificate, just whenever you feel like it, […]
One can usually rely on The Politico being good little lefties and finding ways to slam Republican candidates, but, they actually make a good point with this story: Mitch Daniels, the reluctant candidate It’s becoming a recurring pattern: the more supporters of Mitch Daniels attempt to pump him up, the less he appears to want […]
Interesting that MSNBC actually uses the “M” word when it is NMP Obama being threatened. They were probably hoping this guy donated to the TEA Party or something An Irish Muslim convert was arrested in Dublin Thursday over his reported death threats against President Barack Obama, police said. Khalid Kelly, a 44-year-old dubbed “Taliban Terry” […]
With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to healthcare, you have to realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not […]
One of the reasons I’m such a big fan of Warren Farrell’s book Why Men Are The Way The Are is because it helped me look at an important aspect of my life from a different angle. You see, although I do plan to get married, I can’t help but note that most of my […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Noam Chomsky’s Fans Are Morons Part 2
Plus, I hate guys showing off their abs. It’s vulgar. That’s why I don’t do it. In fact, I find it so vulgar I have taken great precautions to make sure I never cross this line, such as dilligently encasing my rippling abs in a protective slab of Modesty Fat. — Ace Root-canal economics has […]
Woman sues Chuck E. Cheese. Why? She claims it violates gambling laws. Yep.
The low-hanging fruit is long gone when it comes to finding new aspects of our lives for bureaucrats to micromanage. In Ohio, Cuyahoga Falls City Council is tightening its fist around backyard birdfeeders. The pretext is a parody of what you would expect: Councilman Jerry James tells AkronNewsNow.com “There’s a lot of seed that comes […]
You can hardly blame Big Government for spending us to the edge of total economic collapse. It costs money to monitor and regulate every imaginable aspect of human behavior. For example, in a San Antonio elementary school, bureaucrats are installing high-tech cameras in the cafeteria to record what kids put on their lunch trays and […]
Ron Paul, the GOP’s cranky old uncle, has been spouting his isolationist, appeaser-styled foreign policy ideas for decades but with this bin Ladden business he has again gone too far. Now Ron Paul says we should never have killed Osama bin Ladden. Ron Paul says he would not have authorized the mission that led to […]
Barack Obama’s Executive Order that requires federal contractors to disclose the political contributions they have made is garnering bi-partisan opposition on the Hill this month. The order would force contractors to reveal any political donations as a condition for being allowed to bid on a contract to work for the federal government. And the order […]
This is one thing that always flummoxes me. Over the last few decades American labor unions have increasingly become adjuncts, associates, pals, close friends — what ever you want to call them — with anti-American groups like the Communist Party USA and various socialist, anti-Israel groups, and pro-terror groups like the many pro-Palestinian groups. So, […]
Since I’m in California, which has always been a late primary state, and since California is now switching to open primaries anyway, it’s always hard for me to get very excited about primaries. The fact is that I never feel I really have any say in them, since the front runners are already decided by […]
I think readers on both sides of the political divide will find this article fascinating. I know I did. The United States has found itself in a seemingly endless series of wars over the past two decades. Despite frequent opposition by the party not controlling the presidency and often that of the American public, the […]
Obviously, they must be those whitebread right wing terrorists Janet Napolitano was worried about Two men who the authorities said intended to carry out a terrorist attack in New York City were arrested late Wednesday, two law enforcement officials said. Details were not immediately available, and the identities of the men were not released. A […]
Unless we are using the unhinged model that Mankind releasing greenhouse gases, which warm up the atmosphere, make it cold: Global warming did not cause April’s record tornadic outbreak Scientists once again are blaming GLOBAL WARMING for this spring’s record outbreak of tornadoes. As my friend, correspondent Cecil Hathaway says: “Apparently, global warming is responsible […]
Americans love stories about people who find large amounts of money and are honest enough to turn it in — stories about people like 15-year-old Ashley Donaldson. She found $2000 in an envelope and although it must have been tempting to keep that cash, she decided to do the right thing and turn it in […]
Here’s the blunt truth that most politicians don’t have the guts to tell you: Medicare and Social Security cannot survive in their current form. Either we make some significant changes to how the programs are run or one day, taxes will rise to an almost unimaginable level that will completely destroy the economy or the […]
I really enjoyed Warren Farrell’s incredibly insightful book, Why Men Are the Way They Are. In fact, I liked it so much I put together a list of quotations from the book. I’ve also just finished one of his other books, The Myth of Male Power. I can’t say that I agreed with everything in […]
If you’re in danger of drowning, hope that there’s someone around to save you who doesn’t work for the government. From Everett, Washington: Witnesses say 13-year-old Austin Anglin was trapped underneath his family’s boat for about 40 agonizing minutes before Coast Guard crews pulled him out of the water. For at least some of that […]
Anyone who doubts that Atlas Shrugged is not so much fiction as an alarmingly accurate prediction of where left-wing authoritarianism would take America needs to read the plea for sanity from Boeing President and CEO Jim McNerney in today’s Wall Street Journal: Deep into the recent recession, Boeing decided to invest more than $1 billion […]
Richard Cohen is what passes for an opinion editorialist in the Washington Post — not a learned one, just a bloviating one. Cohen’s latest, “The Myth of American Exceptionalism,” is at the same time as self-loathing as it is historically stupid. Not only does this nonsense Cohen ladled out upon us all serve an example […]
Leftists and union supporters love to point to the salaries of corporate bosses and claim them an excess in order to goad regular people into fits of envy and hatred, stirring that class warfare that leftists love so much. But the folks at LaborUnionReport.com thought it might be interesting to turn the tables and calculate […]
