A Teleconference With Herman Cain

Ah, the first teleconference of the 2012 presidential cycle! Here are my notes, not quotes from Herman Cain’s first presidential teleconference. Intro by Ellen Carmichel Hermain Cain has won a straw poll, been to Iowa 20 times, and has been supporting Scott Walker in Wisconsin. He hasn’t officially decided to run, but it’s going well. […]

6 Reasons You Teabaggers Should Give Up On Controlling Spending

It’s time for all of you toothless hillbillies in the Teabagger movement to learn something from your betters on the Left. So, you need to stop listening to hateful ideologues like Rush Limbaugh, Thomas Sowell, and whoever the KKK’s Grand Dragon is these days and start listening to reasonable voices of moderation like Paul Krugman, […]

Moonbats Attempt to Link Earthquake to Global Warming

As predicted, moonbats have wasted no time attempting to exploit the tragedy in Japan by linking it to the nonexistent global warming crisis. Hours after a massive earthquake rattled Japan, environmental advocates connected the natural disaster to global warming. The president of the European Economic and Social Committee, Staffan Nilsson, issued a statement calling for […]

Was Obama’s Support for Wisconsin Unions Payback?

You know, its one of those things you just know but you can’t find proof of: that Obama sticking his nose into state financial restructurings cleverly spun as “labor disputes” was political payback for allowing the unions to basically purchase the Presidency. Luckily, for those of us who know where to find it, they leave […]

Cold Weather To Effect Food Security

I’ve mentioned several times that one of the latest meme’s thrown at the wall to try and prop up the dying Cult of Globull Warming is “food security.” Climate morons posit that “climate change” caused by Mankind is causing something something and something, which is leading to higher food prices, and making us all unsafe. […]

Obama: Plenty Of Time For Obama To Campaign In 2011

Good thing there’s nothing happening in the world. As Libya and Japan burn, as we have massive uprisings through the Arab world, Obama played golf and hit the Gridiron dinner (something he skipped the first two years, but, he’ll need, as Dana Perino said, his compliant media’s help in 2012). He penned an op-ed in […]

How Elite Are America’s Elite Universities? Most Americans Say, “Not Very”

We’ve heard a lot about “anti-elitism,” but if the “elite” could better be described as “well connected,” rather than “better qualified,” why should anyone be impressed with the “elite?” They shouldn’t — which brings us to graduates of America’s “elite” universities: Ronald Reagan was the last president we had who didn’t graduate from an Ivy […]

The Deliberate Economic Stupidity Of Paul Krugman On Social Security

Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize winning economist, which makes me think he’s deliberately playing stupid on Social Security: Social Security is a government program supported by a dedicated tax, like highway maintenance. Now you can say that assigning a particular tax to a particular program is merely a fiction, but in fact such assignments […]

Why Does Barack Obama Get A Pass On Bradley Manning, Liberals?

“President Present” has raised non-leadership to an artform, which is a rather noteworthy accomplishment for a man who’s considered the leader of the Free World. Just to give you one of many, many examples, let’s consider the Bradley Manning case. Liberals are INFURIATED by what they view as tough treatment of the poor little traitor […]

Never Let A Gang Rape Go to Waste?

Originally posted at NewsReal … In 1989, a jogger was beaten, raped, and left for dead in New York City’s Central Park.:  When she arrived at the courthouse to testify, a swarm of protesters led by Al Sharpton greeted her with shouts of “whore!” and “drug addict!” She was just a rape victim, an acceptable […]

Liberals — lording it over lesser beings

If there is one defining characteristic of liberals, it is their sense that they are better than everyone else. Nowhere was that more explicitly illustrated than in Ron Schiller’s comments: In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives. Schiller wasn’t unique, just unguarded. The whole point of liberalism, […]

The Arrogance and Hate From Congressional Democrats

My friend Kerry Picket of the Washington times was involved in a little tête-à-tête with a foul-tempered, arrogant Democrat member of congress that is just so typical of how these hatemongers on the left attempt to shut down debate, call conservatives racists, and act like petulant children in general that it must be highlighted. Picket […]

Attention, Parents of Very Small Children

Up to a certain age it is normal and expected for your offspring to fail to distinguish between minor irritants, perceived slights, dull discomforts, petty jealousies, cranky moods, and emergencies. Where your child is at now, everything is an emergency, and the only way to address any such emergency is to annoy you. This is […]

So why is Jesse Jackson not chaining himself to the statehouse doors in any of those states, demanding that their workers be given their human rights?

The really odd thing about the union protests in Wisconsin is: what Wisconsin’s doing isn’t all that uncommon: Only 26 states have laws that grant collective-bargaining privileges to substantially all public employees. Twelve have laws that give collective bargaining to some workers, and twelve have no statewide collective-bargaining law at all, though some municipalities may […]

Snap! Assault On EPA And Unions Threatens Our Democracy!

Happy Saturday! How about some DERP inspired laughter With EPA & Labor Unions Under Fire, So is US Democracy Other than in the headline, Treehugger writer Brian Merchant never discusses the labor unions, it’s all about climate change, social justice, climate justice, and other left wing insanity There’s more to the recent political assault on […]

Huge Explosion At Japanese Nuclear Plant

Some sites, such as Stratfor, are irresponsibly terming it a “nuclear meltdown,” but, no official confirmation of that as of yet, though there are fears of it happening: Huge blast at Japan nuclear power plant A massive explosion has rocked a Japanese nuclear power plant after Friday’s devastating earthquake. A huge pall of smoke was […]

The Face Of Progressivism: Students Take Part In “I Have Sex” Video

The video and accompanying commentary pretty much speak for themselves: Posted below the video: A message from students at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. They write: In order to “balance the budget” the House of Representatives recently announced the intention to strip all federal funding to Planned Parenthood. This is unacceptable. It’s time to face reality: […]
