Reactions

In about a week and a half, Our First Holy Divine Man-God-Boy-King President has acquired and released a form of identification, and then claimed credit for dispatching the most wanted man in the entire world. His is a unique case in which these achievements are roughly equivalent. I’m ready to take a new approach on […]

Rutgers student pleads guilty to ThoughtCrime

So now our state is prosecuting ThoughtCrime. Under penalty of incarceration Rutgers student Molly Wei will enter a re-education camp for indoctrination into “alternate lifestyles.” The State will wash away all of her improper thoughts. No doubt she will emerge a good little automaton eager to do the bidding of her INGSOC masters. And boy […]

So: if Obama made up the whole “we got bin Laden” story to boost his poll numbers — and I’m not saying he did, but if he did…

…then it didn’t work: President Obama received little boost from the Navy SEALs killing of bin Laden. Some numbers: Gallup: 6 points (46% to 52%); Rasmussen: no bounce (49%); Quinnipiac: 6 points (46% to 52%); CNN: 4 points (48% to 52%). The “bounce” was bigger if the poll asked specifically about terror or Afghanistan, but […]

Wait, The Army Has An Environmentally Friendly Projectile?

An interesting editorial from the Washington Times The U.S. military’s success in Pakistan this week proved the importance of maintaining a team focused on accomplishing dangerous missions. Others on the left prefer to look upon the armed forces as a playground to experiment with fringe ideas. Take the Air Force Academy which reportedly held a […]

Taxing by the Mile

The primary purpose of federal taxes is not to raise revenue. If it were, the Laffer Curve dictates that rates be lowered, as Reagan and JFK illustrated. Since Big Government prints all the money it wants, essentially taxing us through inflation, the only point of direction taxation is to exert control. That’s why the Obama […]

House GOP Pass Offshore Drilling Legislation

Obviously, this is some sort of massive handout to Big Oil or something, rather than a measure to drill for our own oil off our own shores, ensuring our supply is readily available and prices go down As gas prices nationally approach $4 a gallon, the House passed Thursday a measure that would require the […]

Michael Moore: America’s Most Prominent Deather

Michael Moore is widely revered on the Left, he’s the best known political documentarian in America, and he’s so well thought of amongst liberals that he even famously sat next to Jimmy Carter at the 2004 Democratic convention. Michael Moore is also a deather — someone who believes that the US government already had Bin […]

This Week In Quotes: April 29 – May 5

Why The Public Won’t Buy Greenhouse Limits

Churchville, VA–In the April 21st issue of the far-left New Republic, associate editor Bradford Plumer asked his readers whether the Greens’ climate strategy had been a “total flop.” He said the Greens had helped elect Barack Obama and a filibuster-proof majority in both Houses of Congress, and approved Obama’s Cabinet and “czars.” The President was […]

Huffington Post Readers Respond to Osama bin Laden’s Demise

Now that the dust is beginning to settle from justice having caught up with Osama bin Laden, let’s see how readers at the largest liberal blog — the one AOL paid $315 million for — are taking the news: libobstruction I’m holding my congratualtions until after an investigation has been preformed and proove’s that everything […]

Indians Finally Find an Excuse to Be Offended

The SEALs used an apt code name for Osama bin Laden; they called him Geronimo, after the Apache warrior who was an enemy of the USA (and Mexico) and famously hard to find. But this isn’t going over well with racial grievance snivelers, who have been waiting for so many generations for somebody to insult […]

The Many Sides Of Pres. Obama

I know you guys who are left leaning get tired of my criticism of Pres. Obama. Frankly, I get tired of it too. When I wrote the post about Obama giving the order to kill Osama, it was nice to be able to say he did something right. As far as releasing the picture of […]

GM Exec: Reporting GM’s Failures Hurts… Republicans?

In an odd turn of events, former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz thinks that anyone that criticizes GM is not only “mis-informed” but insists that those “foaming ideologues” that criticize the car giant are “damaging the Republican Party.” It is interesting that an executive in the company derided as “Government Motors” is trying to direct […]

Climate Alarmists Use Kids To Push Their Stupid Warmist Lawsuits

Hmm, remember how Treehugger was complaining about the use of children in advertising for the Big Flame Retardant? Will they complain about this? A group of attorneys using children and young adults as plaintiffs plans to file legal actions in every state and the District of Columbia on Wednesday in an effort to force government […]

Politico: Obama Makes “Triumphant Return To Ground Zero”

So far, I have avoided criticizing Mr. Obama on the killing of Osama Bin Laden, despite Team Obama’s many gaffes and oopsies. Of course, you have the compliant media and Lefty partisans yammering on about how great Obama is, how he single handedly saved the mission, how targeted killings are now awesome, that the military […]

My 25 Fave 140 Character Thoughts For April

* The type of life you have is created by the choices you’ve made. Either accept the consequences of your choices or change your choices * Men have a natural urge to tame the wild, spoil the pure, and asset dominance over their environment. * When human beings have difficult work to do, all too […]

The GOP’s Minority Trap

By 2050, America is expected to have a “majority minority” population and every vote from now until then, we can expect minorities to account for a larger share of the voting population. This is not good news for the Republican Party because black Americans vote for the Democratic Party 9-to-1 and Hispanic Americans lean to […]

Is There Really a ‘Gold Bubble’? Maybe Not.

Brett Arends, writing at MarketWatch, refutes the notion that gold is in a speculative “bubble”. He does so by comparing the current spike in gold prices with other speculative run-ups in recent history. Gold is in a bubble. Anyone will tell you that. They’ve been saying it since gold was about, oh, $500 an ounce. […]

The Obama Administration’s cloud of confusion explained *UPDATED*

Usually when governments use misinformation, they use it to make themselves look good. The Obama Administration gets points for originality, insofar as it’s been using disinformation and misinformation to make itself look arbitrary, unlawful, helpless and stupid. Here’s jj’s great summary: Okay, what do we have here: 1) There was a firefight. 2) There was […]
