Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Short answer; Yes. Longer answer….George W. Bush deserves credit for starting our programs that targeted Bin Laden. All the programs we’re running now (at least the ones we know about) were either continued from the Bush administration or they were expanded from ongoing operations. Of course, our intelligence agencies deserve a lot of credit and […]
I wrote a post taking Harvard grad Jesse Kornbluth (class of ’68) to task for his carelessly flattering portrayal of “journalist” and blogger Andrew Sullivan. It’s fine to like Sullivan, although I would question a person’s judgment in doing so. What bothered me was that Kornbluth failed to discover that Sullivan has taken a fair […]
Just a few stories that caught my eye over the past week, whether or not I blogged about them. Click the link under each picture for a little more explanation, or just because it’s nice to give random bloggers some hits. Link: Weasel Zippers. It’s from love, Glenn. From love. And we shall dub it: […]
Barack Obama thinks he has the power to tell companies where they are “allowed” to build new facilities and, shock of shocks, Obama wants all those facilities to be in union controlled states. Last week Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced its plans to force Boeing to keep building its aircraft in union plagued […]
Just kidding. They plan to organize instead of agonize Two weeks ago, over 10,000 students activists descended on Washington, D.C. to collaborate, train, motivate, and take action at Powershift 2011. They made enough of an impact that President Obama took notice and invited 12 student leaders for a conversation. Powershift happens once a year, but […]
Americans are an extremely charitable people. We NEVER turn our backs on those in need–whether it be our fellow Americans in New Orleans, or strangers in distant lands like Haiti or Japan. Wednesday night, a slew of tornadoes tore through the southeastern US, ravaging Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, all the way to Virginia. So far, […]
If it wasn’t for that little shindig across the pond, this would’ve been the story of the day: The Colt revolver, a historic remnant from the shoot-em-up days of the old West, is now Arizona’s official gun. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on Thursday signed a bill into law that makes the Colt Single Action Army […]
Their first stupid article wasn’t enough, so, like any good unhinged Leftist climate moron, they double down with Top Climate Scientist On The Monster Tornadoes: ‘It Is Irresponsible Not To Mention Climate Change’ Who are those top climate scientists? Michael Mann (with his discredited hockey stick), Gavin Schmidt, and Kevin Trenbarth. Let’s see what Kevin […]
The difference between a demagogue (interestingly, ye olde Thesaurus has the word “politician” as a synonym) and a leader: the first yammers on and blamestorms, the latter comes up with a real world plan to address the issue and attempts to resolve it. Guess which one Obama is? After the worst recession since the Great […]
Superman has just flipped the United States of America a super powered middle finger. In an upcoming issue of Action Comics, DC Comics is to have Superman appear before the United Nations to renounce his American citizenship. “Truth, justice, and the American way is not enough anymore,” Superman tells us. Screw you, America. In a […]
Free market advocates have for years been fighting the anti-capitalist left over government control of the Internet, a battle that has reached a temporary plateau when Obama’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) arbitrarily decided that it was in full control of the Internet and by fiat implemented the left’s long-sought net neutrality rules. This isn’t the […]
Emily’s List author, Lisa McIntyre, wants her readers to think Rep. Steve King is a sexist. So much she is willing to lie about it. The progressive pro-abortion, feminist organization posted an article today slamming Rep. Steve King as a sexist, claiming he would not debate possible Congressional candidate Christine Vilsack because she was a […]
Over the last few weeks, the news has led me to the conclusion that a serious public debate on Obama’s policies will never happen. What a travesty that would be. I made a video about it below.
Since this didn’t happen in Saudi Arabia or Iran, it could only have been in moonbattery-ravaged California — a man was actually hauled off in handcuffs for reading a Bible aloud: When Mark Mackey, a member of the local Calvary Chapel, showed up to the DMV office in Hemet, CA on February 2, he had […]
Lawyer Mark Gold makes a cushy living helping the irresponsible evade responsibility by defending drunk drivers. When he found he had blown $18,930 in one night bingeing at a strip club, rather than pay his bill he fell back on his jobs skills: Now the 56-year-old attorney is taking the Gold Rush [bwahaha!] club to […]
One of the hallmarks of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Nazi Revolution (because, although the ballot was used in 1932, it was a revolution), the Hussein Iraq takeover (which was also a form of revolution), and other totalitarian takeovers is that the paranoid leadership style inherent in totalitarianism invariably means that the revolution […]
At the Detroit Economic Club today, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tried to claim the auto bailout is a success. It certainly doesn’t seem like a success for the taxpayers. GM stock is about $30 today, and unless it gets up to $54, the taxpayers lose money on the deal. Why would it go up? You […]
** The left loves to demonize companies like Exxon for their profits, but they never demonize the burdensome tax on our gas, when it is much much more. Did you know that gas stations are not allowed by federal law to break down their price so you can see how much tax by gallon you […]
You taxpayers should be ashamed of yourselves, says Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the California Labor Federation. You big, selfish jerks should be happy to pay the taxes that gives government employees all healthcare practically for free and allows them to retire at 50 with their comfortable 40-year-long retirement pensions that pay government union members […]
A royal wedding, and the long-awaited release of a document from Hawaii. The week certainly does finish up with a feeling of genuine accomplishment, doesn’t it? I say, not so fast. If there is any positive development for the civilized world this week, it is that a problem gnawing away at all of us, invisibly, […]
….you’ve lost the backing of one of the Internet’s most hysterical (both meanings of the word) enviroweenie/climate alarmist websites: Government-backed corn ethanol lurches on, paving a road to nowhere During the Bush II administration, I used to groan that the closest thing we had to a concerted policy response to climate change was the federal […]
Of course, Obama is way too busy enjoying the trappings of the Oval Office, putting his 2012 election campaign into high gear, and getting revenge on reporters who actually report to actually do the job of Chief Executive. Obama was recently in Ohio to do a taped interview with WKYC Cleveland, and said, vis a […]
As a conservative, I think you have to judge people as individuals. White, black, conservative, liberal, male, female — at the end of the day, each person deserves to be evaluated on his actions and his character. That being said, there are some people who look at the world a little differently. They may think […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: The Birther Theory vs. Liberal Conspiracy Theories
As part of a never-ending series, I like to do short reviews of the books I read. Here are the latest 10 books I’ve read with the previous 180 that I’ve perused linked here. PS: If you’re wondering why there are very few low rated books on this list, it’s because I have a low […]
Do you think this Constitution-loving is getting out of hand? — Joy Behar The total public debt owed — increased on Clinton’s watch, and like all recent presidents, Clinton left the country with more than a trillion dollars deeper in debt than when he began – even with the late 1990s economic boom. According to […]
Obama et al. have used the spill by his crony capitalist bankrollers at BP as a pretext to shut down oil drilling in the gulf, and the exhaust fumes from an icebreaker to choke off Alaska, but how to justify suppressing land drilling in the desert wastes of West Texas? Here’s how: A three-inch lizard […]
It’s time for a new edition of the Newspeak dictionary. According to the pointy-headed circus clowns who pass down surrealist moral judgments from atop their ivory towers, our current vocabulary oppresses animals: Animal lovers should stop calling their furry or feathered friends “pets” because the term is insulting, leading academics claim. Domestic dogs, cats, hamsters […]
A few weeks ago I wrote that unions have driven every state budget into a hole from which it isn’t likely the states can easily dig themselves out. I did not at that time reference the Pew report on the pensions mess and I want to revisit it here. On April 5, I said, “The […]
It is a particular problem with our voter registration systems across the USA that the voting roles are so filled with ineligible names that we aren’t sure how many voters really live in any particular district. East St. Louis is no different. In fact, East St. Louis seems to have more voters registered in its […]
