Even before America slit its wrists by electing him, Barack Hussein Obama gave us a preview of his energy policy by promising to use deliberately excessive regulation to bankrupt coal plants. The objective in destroying the energy sector is twofold: 1) devastate our still quasi-capitalist economy, creating enough hardship to pave the way for true […]
Even as Barack Hussein Obama tries to force the center-right USA to the left by ramming through exceedingly unpopular legislation like ObamaCare, Stephen Harper is leading more liberal Canada in the opposite direction: Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper won his coveted majority government in elections that changed Canada’s political landscape with the opposition Liberals and […]
All of you who know me know how I love dogs. I have three rescue dogs. I think dogs are amazing. They can help rescue, they can lead the blind, they can help with other handicaps, even letting someone know when a seizure is about to happen. They can sniff out drugs, and help find […]
All those cities and elected politicians who want to ban, or have banned, the use of salt in restaurants? All the weenies how whine about the use of salt, and should really mind their own damned business, and let me get on with my own high blood pressure leading to a massive myocardial infarction? Yeah, […]
Apparently, Obama took 16 hours to make the decision to go with the operation to get “Codename Geronimo” (yes, some folks do have a problem with that). Drudge linked to a story by the UK Daily Mail, and that has seemed to start an avalanche of political abuse towards Obama for waiting, especially after they […]
Let me just put it this way: waterboarding isn’t torture. I’m not the least bit sorry, embarrassed, or troubled that it was used at Guantanamo Bay. In fact, I wouldn’t have been troubled if it had been used on fifty times as many prisoners. They’re terrorists who use real torture on our men. Stop crying […]
Update #1: Image corrected. Doh!
Did the government of Pakistan know that Osama Bin Laden was holed up in Abbottabad? It seems highly likely that at least SOME government officials, ISI agents, or members of their armed forces knew where he was. How far up the chain of command did it go? We don’t know. It was already public knowledge […]
Bush 41 went all the way up to an 88% approval rating after the Gulf War. His son W. soared from 51% to 90% in the space of 10 days after 9/11. That brings us to the death of Osama Bin Laden. This was a HUGE event. There were spontaneous celebrations in New York and […]
Jesse Kornbluth, whom I took to task for his Sullivan hagiography, has responded to my rebuttal to his defense of that same hagiography. True to my lawyer’s credo, I’m trying here to have the last word, although I certainly don’t mean to preempt Kornbluth from doing the same, if he is so inclined. As I […]
The story that the White House put out yesterday about the firefight that killed Osama has been walked back. It’s very frustrating. Not because I care how Osama was killed, but how it is perceived by the Arab world. I tweet with quite a few Muslims and of course, they saw the White House as […]
Liberals didn’t like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren’t liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo’s Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as “vulgar”: When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at […]
Comrade Obama’s unseemly attempt to take credit for the bullets Navy SEALs sent through Osama bin Laden’s brain is drawing guffaws even at the edges of the liberal media establishment that put him in power. From the LA Times: Osama bin Laden dead: Yes, SEALs were in on the raid, but aides hail Obama’s office […]
It’s time for a little hand wringing from enviro-weenies at Treehugger What is it with Astroturfers and kids? Whenever there is a “grass roots” campaign, like Citizens for Fire Safety, they fill their websites with kids. Does this one tell them that their bodies are bioaccumulating brominated flame retardants, that, according to the Environmental Health […]
From Fox News via the WaPo: “A member of the US Senate Intelligence Committee has told CNBC that the death of Osama Bin Laden was a direct result of enhanced interrogations.” ………………….. “…in 2007, that terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay military prison started giving up information about the key courier.” ………………. “Current and former […]
A little earlier, John Hawkins was discussing the liberal hypocrisy over the death of Osama Bin Laden, linking to a Melissa Clouthier post about liberals not believing their own war on terrorism rhetoric. From John’s post, we get For example, what about the “cycle of violence?” We’d be hearing about it non-stop if Bush had […]
Sleazy professional scam artist Alex Jones is getting out front of the crazy idea that Bin Laden’s death was faked. The con men over at WorldNetDaily aren’t far behind either. But, if you’re the engineer on the crazy train, you deserve to get your proper share of credit…and mockery. So, here’s what Jones’ crazy conspiracy […]
Over at Redstate, Melissa Clouthier points out that the liberal reaction to the death of Bin Laden proves that liberals don’t believe their own war on terror rhetoric. When the rubber meets the road, liberals aren’t crying that: * Intelligence gathered, probably via “enhanced interrogation” in a secret prison (or if you’re a liberal, torture), […]
The biggest terrorist on Planet Earth has, at long last, been delivered to justice courtesy of a SEAL’s bullet. Some people may say we haven’t won anything because killing Bin Laden won’t end terrorism forever. I’d say that we have at least ended all terrorism committed by Bin Laden forever. In any case, by now […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: It’s OK To Celebrate Osama Bin Laden’s Death
Prepare to hurl A top al-Qaida ideologue vowed revenge Monday for the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces, in the first jihadist admission of the militant leader’s death. The reaction of the online jihadi community to their hero’s death varied between expressions of disbelief mixed with protestations of revenge and vows to continue […]
If you think Obama’s energy policy of suppressing our own oil industry while giving other countries taxpayer money to develop theirs is insane, just hope he doesn’t inflict some of the truly deranged ideas being floated by moonbats like Daniel Weiss, senior fellow and director of “climate strategy” at the liberal think tank Center for […]
This could be the closest thing to a good idea NYC’s Mayor for Life has had yet: Detroit needs residents. Immigrants want to live in America. Michael Bloomberg says he’s got a simple solution for both needs — send all new immigrants to Detroit. In a novel approach to immigration reform, the New York City […]
Now it’s personal, and, as DrewM points out, it’s a friggin’ brilliant DC idea to turn food and feed into fuel Mr. Pope is the chief executive officer of Smithfield Foods Inc., the world’s largest pork processor and hog producer by volume. He doesn’t mince words when it comes to rapidly rising food prices. The […]
Our fourth president, James Madison, has been called the father of the Constitution for not inconsiderable reasons. Madison was highly educated, widely read, and well thought of. He was also a prescient man. Madison was so prescient that in February of 1788 he was able to describe the precise reasons why his beloved Republic would […]
Remember that L.A. May Day parade? It was supposed to be a big deal, you know? You see, there was supposed to be 50,000 protesters marching in downtown Los Angeles to protest over how rotten the U.S. treats illegal immigrants. As JWF tells us, local LA TV was all about helping the purported 50,000 immigration […]
Perhaps I’m not telling you anything new at this point. I missed this important news last night, I rarely look at the news late on a Sunday night’ Osama bin Laden, hunted as the mastermind behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, has been killed, President Obama announced tonight. The president called the killing […]
* I don’t celebrate the deaths of my political enemies, but you better believe that I’m celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden is an enemy of our country and of humanity, he deserved to die, and I don’t give two hoots in hell about pretending to be sorry for him or pretending […]
Last night on Fox, it was said over and over again, that the death of Osama Bin Laden was a great day for Muslims. After all, he doesn’t represent Islam and he’s responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of Muslims. So, what a wonderful, wonderful day this was for Islam. Well, I’m not going […]
Here are a few intriguing tweets from last night in reaction to the news that Osama Bin Laden had finally, after all this time, become a good man. If Osama Bin Laden is dead, does this mean we stop killing Afghan civilians? #p2 #p2ca #cdnpoli #NATO — AntoniaZ BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump demands Osama Bin […]
