Father Michael Pfleger of Chicago’s Saint Sabina Church on the city’s southside has been a thorn in the side of the Catholic Church for decades. The priest has been a vocal opponent of many of the Church’s positions and religious tenets but has seemingly been beyond punishment for his heresies. That seems to finally be […]
All you folks who read books, you are killing Gaia, and need to immediately buy an e-reader (until the alarmists determine that they are bad for Gaia). From TerraPass Unfortunately, the business of publishing books, newspapers, and magazines has a large environmental impact. In addition to the tens of millions of trees harvested every year, […]
And it’s all because you stupid, mean, uncivil (and probably raaaaacist) American civilians have access to the Internet (can we blame Al Gore?): A new era of accusation and innuendo President Barack Obama’s appearance Wednesday in the White House briefing room to present a documented rebuttal of suspicions that he was not really born on […]
Everybody was kung-fu fighting Those cats were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightning But they fought with expert timing They were funky China men from funky Chinatown They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down It’s an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part From a […]
Had Barack Obama actually wanted to nip birtherism in the bud, he could have released his long version birth certificate back in 2008. That would have certainly done it back then, when the conspiracy hadn’t really gained traction. What I’ve been saying is that Obama liked having Republicans talking about whether he was born in […]
In what must be one of the most mediocre comic issues of all-time, the superhero whose slogan used to be “truth, justice, and the American way” has now renounced his American citizenship. Goyer’s installment, with tense art from Miguel Sepulveda, steals the spotlight in Action Comics No. 900. When Superman drops in on an Iranian […]
Dan Lacey is a unique and talented artist. In fact, he’s the only guy I’ve ever actually commissioned to do a painting (Yes, one of my friends got the most coolest wedding gift ever — well, if you like nerdy cool.) Some of his stuff has gotten a bit….weird of late, but you have to […]
Barry Rubin sounds a tocsin at Pajamas Media about the way in which political correctness is slowly but steadily eroding free speech in America, leaving us to speech norms more commonly seen in repressive Middle Eastern countries. As he explains, there’s a reason “the authors of the American Constitution forbade limits on freedom of speech: […]
During the campaign, when there were first claims that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the US of A, I treated the idea seriously. I even aimed a little criticism at the mainstream media for refusing to thoroughly investigate the story. However, I also took the time to look into it myself and found that the […]
Almost no one is talking about the most serious financial catastrophe taking place in the U.S. today. Instead everyone is focused on reigning in Congressional spending, particularly in areas like entitlements and Obamacare. But there is a part of government that flies under the radar, unaccountably increasing our debt to far more dangerous levels. It […]
Obama may be a communist by upbringing and inclination, but at this point his “fundamental transformation of America” more closely resembles fascism. Under communism, the government directly owns everything, and everyone works for it, essentially as a slave. In subtle contrast, fascism allows for ostensibly private concerns that in reality are run by the government. […]
Sometimes it’s tempting to skip ahead in a book to see how things will turn out. This can be done with Obamunism, because the same political phenomenon is farther along in other countries. For example, by turning to Zimbabwe, we can see what happens after the government has bled dry or seized every business within […]
Brandon K. Thorp, a gay activist from the alternative weekly Broward-Palm Beach New Times newspaper, is only the latest left-winger to launch into a verbal assault on Lt. Col. Allen West, now a Representative from Florida’s 22nd District. Like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman, Rep. West is one of the many conservatives that leftists fear […]
After a poll that came out that showed that only 38% of Americans thought the president was actually born in the USA, the Obama administration has finally released Obama’s long form birth certificate. There are several reasons that Obama finally did this and the biggest is that this issue was starting to hurt him politically […]
I do wish that those taking the polls would distinguish between anthropogenic global warming and what is actually happening, which is primarily natural (CNSNews.com) – Most of the human race does not see global warming as a serious threat, according to a Gallup poll released last week that surveyed individuals in 111 countries. Respondents were […]
All the news outlets, TV and print, are reporting that pResident Obama will supposedly release his long form birth certificate this morning, making it available to the media while Obama speaks about it at 945am. I’ll update this after he yammers on and calls people mean and raaaaacist or something. One thing I will be […]
Will Barack Obama be reelected in 2012? It’s impossible to say, and given the GOP’s trouble finding a worthy candidate and the difficulties inherent in knocking off a sitting President, it’s easy to be pessimistic despite Obama’s rather obvious incompetence and soft approval ratings. One thing is for sure, however; If Obama’s going to win, […]
Just as a blind squirrel will find a nut now and again, David Brooks will occasionally, against all the odds, write a good column. His latest, The Big Disconnect, is such a column. Moreover, the two parties are about to run utterly familiar political campaigns. The Democrats are going to promise to raise taxes on […]
There are few Republicans who deserve to be retired in a Primary more than Richard Lugar. Indiana’s state Treasurer Dick Mourdock has thrown his hat in the ring and will be challenging Lugar in 2012. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my conversation with Richard Mourdock. You’re going to be running against Richard […]
Speaking of Harvard, I just got a gander at Harvard Magazine, which has a smugly grinning Andrew Sullivan on the cover, as the exemplar of “The New Media.” I thought the article would be about bloggers generally, but the table of contents tells me I’m wrong: “World’s Best Blogger?” it asks. It then explains that […]
Regular readers know that I have fussed for years about Obama’s much vaunted intelligence. I’ve agreed that he has a feral, manipulative intelligence, but I’ve challenged the whole brilliant scholar thing. It’s not just the missing grades (which one assumes are missing because they’re embarrassing). It’s also the horrible way he expresses himself when he’s […]
In yet another union-styled outrage, Democrats backed by union thugs in Wisconsin are using the personal information of voters found on recall petitions to harass them because they signed a petition to recall Green Bay Democrat State Senator Dave Hansen. Over the last few weeks thousands of Wisconsin voters signed a recall petition in Green […]
Once again, when gas prices get high, administrations go looking for “petrovillains.” Clinton did it, Bush did it, and now Obama is doing it. It’s a farce. They never find anything in their investigations except for the basic fact that gas and oil prices are determined by one thing, and one thing only-Supply and Demand. […]
While Comrade Obama lays the groundwork for Soviet-style show trials to blame the people who provide us with gasoline for the cost of their product, here’s an example of why prices won’t be coming down so long as liberals have their “boot on the neck” of the energy sector: Shell Oil Company has announced it […]
It’s bad enough if Apple is violating our privacy by tracking our movements with its iPhone. But what’s far worse is that this constitutes racism: Friday on MSNBC’s daytime programming, host Thomas Roberts explained that in the wake of revelations the iPhone tracks your movements with its operating software, minorities, specifically blacks and Latinos are […]
Some people think that marriage is the most absurd institution ever invented by man. But those that think so are ignoring what is truly the most idiotic, paradoxically absurd practice in all of human history: government. Yeah, yeah, necessary evil and all, but still there is nothing that exemplifies human folly better than politics and […]
Obviously, the second part is more pressing to the Liberals at the Washington Post, rather than how much Americans are suffering Soaring gasoline prices are biting into household incomes and nibbling at Americans’ fuel consumption – and support for President Obama, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll. About six in 10 respondents said they […]
Well, the headline isn’t quite as catchy as “Where Were You Circumcised?: State Department Passport Application is Impossible“, but, I thought that going with “Trig Palin may need Andrew Sullivan’s permission to get a passport” might be a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with Excitable Andy’s Trigerism. Anyhow, moving on to the originator of the […]
So, the Slut Walk is eye catching. It also stands out enough to draw attention. Part of the message is even worth repeating. A woman being dressed provocatively is in no way, shape, or form any kind of excuse for rape. Furthermore, I consider rape to be an extremely serious crime and were it my […]
The mainstream media SHOULD have been doing thorough reports on Obama’s birth certificate when he was running for President. The question was already in the air at the time and there was a lot less known about the issue than there is today. Honestly, I think a lot of news services avoided the issue because […]
