Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Okay, I’ll admit that my post title is awkward, but it sums up what California State Senator Mark Leno is trying to do in California public schools: namely, put a person’s sexuality front and center, with a tag-on coda about the person’s actual accomplishments. This isn’t the first time a gay California legislator has tried […]
Some conservatives and Tea Parties are criticizing the budget deal Republicans agreed to with Democrats and the Obama administration on Friday. Should they be? It averted a government shutdown, extending funding for government through the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 2011. It is the largest spending cut in American history in terms of […]
Make sure to revise your copy of the Newspeak dictionary so that you are not caught using incorrect terminology until the next official edition is published. As part of the ongoing campaign to eradicate even oblique references to Christianity from our culture, Easter eggs are henceforth to be referred to as spring spheres. From moonbatty […]
If their wanton destruction of the quality of education and their willingness to bankrupt state governments out of pathological greed aren’t enough to convince you of the profound malignancy of teachers unions, maybe this will do the job: Between negotiating for more benefits and teaching their students, the California Federation of Teachers has adopted a […]
I guess being the president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) means not having to do your own homework. Just ask AFT President Randi Weingarten. Weingarten was caught using verbatim and without attribution the work of a journalist from New York in a speech she gave a week ago. Usually this is called plagiarism […]
Last month when the current series of budget debates began to heat up, the ineffectual leader of the Democrats in the U.S. Senate thought he had a great little point against proposed tax cuts by crying that the cuts would destroy Nevada’s “Cowboy Poetry.” Oh, the humanities. You might recall that last month Reid ambled […]
As the globull warming craze dies a slow, deserved death, many alarmists are working to find ways to get people back on board with the Cult of Gore. Here’s another one at Fangaroo Joe Romm of Climate Progress recently had an interesting post on an email from Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp regarding “how […]

This should make every feel very safe. From the LA Times He’s considered one of world’s most dangerous terrorism suspects, and the U.S. offered a $1-million reward for his capture in 2005. Intelligence experts say he’s a master bomb maker and extremist leader who possesses a wealth of information about Al Qaeda-linked groups in Southeast […]
Gender IS NOT a social construct. Let me repeat that, because it’s important. Gender IS NOT a social construct. In fact, believing that gender is just a social construct is an exceptionally stupid belief that ironically, is often held by very smart people. It’s surprisingly similar in many ways to the error that Leftists make […]
Our President has a wonderful, wonderful dream. “I just miss – I miss being anonymous,” he said at the meeting in the White House. “I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I […]
“Madness is rare in individuals – but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.” — Friedrich Nietzsche Does it seem too strong to call the way America deals with its debt “madness?” If not madness, then what? Denial? An addiction? However you phrase it, we’re a country that’s in deep trouble, but […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: The Rich Aren’t The Problem. Government Is The Problem
You can’t say State University of New York students aren’t learning any applicable skills: An eccentric SUNY Purchase art professor held a “class” yesterday in SoHo where he instructed his hipster students on how to illegally squat in condos around the city. Chris Robbins organized the seminar with the hopes that at least one or […]
First they use your money to provide government cheese. Then they force you to eat it. At Little Village Academy, a Chicago public school, students are not allowed to pack lunches from home. Unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria. Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is […]
Alright you evil, rotten, racist, white oppressors, it’s time once again for the “White Privilege Conference,” this year to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 13 – 16. Come on out you white teachers so we can get your rotten minds right about how racist you are and so that you can go back […]
Obamacare will destroy our healthcare system and our economy both while giving unprecedented and unconstitutional powers to unelected, unaccountable federal regulators. It’s just that simple. Further proof of this was reported by US News and World Report on April 7 where we see that out of just six pages of the Obamacare law, federal regulators […]
Two Christians were told by Police that they were not allowed to attend an anti-war rally held by a conglomerate of Muslims groups, unions, and Barack Obama’s Organizing for America organization on April 9 in New York City. About 1,000 people came together at Union Square on Saturday to protest the U.S. military at a […]
Not content with simply whining about one thing at a time, Ed Markey (D-Ma) works the Internet and globull warming into the same rant (via The Blaze through The Daily Bayonette through Tom Nelson) Some choice derangement from his rants about GOP legislation to stop ‘net neutrality” and stop the EPA from regulation greenhouse gases […]
Of course, it appears as if his plan is more of a draft, well, really, a rough outline….OK, more of some talking points scribbled on a cocktail napkin from a campaign event: Obama Puts Taxes on Table President Barack Obama will lay out his plan for reducing the nation’s deficit Wednesday, belatedly entering a fight […]
The best piece of advice that I ever got was, “Find something you love so much that you’d do it for free and find a way to make it into a career.” For me, that was writing and if I have my way, I’ll be writing for a living until they put me in the […]
Thomas Sowell has just released Economic Facts and Fallacies: Second Edition . I read the first edition, thought it was outstanding, and would highly recommend it. I was also pleased to have the opportunity to interview Thomas Sowell about the Second Edition of the book. What follows is the slightly edited transcript of our conversation. […]
From my email last night, A Wall Street Billionaire, a Tea Party member, a Union member, a Black WELFARE mother, and a non-union electrician were having lunch. The waiter brought in 12 cookies for ALL of them to eat. The BILLIONAIRE immediately grabbed 11.5 cookies and started to eat them. He looked at the Tea […]
I started blogging in 2004, right before the election, and was hooked. After years of churning out legal briefs, it was an endless pleasure to write about politics, pop culture, education, social issues, national security, the media, and whatever else caught my attention. It was wonderful, too, to develop a new writing style, one that […]
Had some thoughts continuing from the post previous. That’s okay, isn’t it? “The same subject, continued” appears I-don’t-know-how-many times in the titles of the Federalist Papers; that “Publius” dude had no problem continuing his thoughts from earlier. So it must not be a sign of arrogance, or if it is, that Publius guy must not […]
This story in the Northwest Asian Weekly about the trademark registration woes of a rock band called The Slants may sound familiar to people who follow such things: The Slants, whose members are of Asian descent, have amassed fans nationwide, taking the stage at dive bars, Asian festivals, anime conventions, and even serving on panels […]

Maybe now that Congress is done haggling over miniscule budget cuts they can return their attention to the Obama Administration’s net neutrality power grab. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is hell-bent on redistributing the networks built by AT&T and Verizon to every penny ante bit player who comes along. Why build your own wireless network when […]

This conference has been billed as another opportunity to do something about climate change. Throughout the conference, Democratic politicians from […]
