Be afriad, be very very afraid. Liberal Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi writes (via @GabrielMalor): AS EGYPT battles over its future, Senator John Kerry is negotiating his own. The Bay State’s senior senator is running an unofficial campaign to become the next secretary of state. For once, he looks artful, as well as ambitious. His […]
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is one of Obama’s biggest donors. Curiously enough, the SEIU is also one of the more than 700 unions and corporations that have gotten waivers from the Obama administration to get out from under some of the oppressive rules of Obamacare. Yet, even as they have been allowed to […]
Remember when you were a kid and you got caught doing something you shouldn’t have been doing? Remember when you were confronted with your wrong doing that your first response was to blame everyone else? Well, that is very common for a child… or for a liberal, apparently. At least it is for MSNBC’s left-wing […]
I made a video yesterday discussing the Rule of Law in the United States. Do we really have Rule of Law at this point?
From my hometown of Raleigh, NC, we learn that dissent is a means to a criminal investigation David N. Cox says he was merely exercising his right to petition the government, but a state Department of Transportation official has raised allegations that Cox committed a misdemeanor: practicing engineering without a license. Cox and his North […]
Showing that politicians, especially Democrat politicians, are more interested in laying blaming on others than….well, really, that is what they are interested in: point the finger at others over Egypt The debate over who “lost” Egypt seems to have begun. Critics are openly questioning the quality of information and analysis given to President Barack Obama […]
There are many, many developments in Congress and in the courts regarding abortion. This report is a summary of recent events with many links for you to research further.
Of the existing GOP field – if you discount the polls and take a good, long, honest look at the field – which candidate seems to be the most viable for 2012? My own opinion (though not necessarily who I’d really like to see): Mitch Daniels or Tim Pawlenty. — Scott You’ve been pretty quiet […]
“Have you considered running for office?” — David Stone The short answer: No. The longer answer: As a general rule, bloggers, columnists, and talk radio hosts shouldn’t run for office. We’ve all said too many things that can be used against us in political campaigns. Setting that aside, even if I were guaranteed to win, […]
My submission for Q&A Friday: The Army Times recently ran a story about Michelle Bachman’s proposal to cut spending, including making substantial cuts in Veterans’ benefits. (The story is linked here for reference: http://www.armytimes.com/news/2011/01/military-michele-bachmann-veterans-budget-cuts-012811w/ Naturally, many Veterans and current service members do not like this idea. Do you think this is a wise move, fiscally […]
RINOs are a fact of life, but have there ever been any DINOs at the national level? — duken008 Sure, there have. In fact, they used to be pretty common in the South. There were plenty of “Yellow Dog” Democrats who were generally conservative, but voted Democrat because that’s how their family had been voting […]
Do you own a Kindle or other e-reader? What’s your take on the technology? — Francis Cazayoux To be honest, I’ve never really understood the appeal of the Kindle. Granted, you can get books cheaper on it — $9.99 or less. But, it costs $189 so you’d have to buy a lot of books to […]
For my question, what is your take on the idea of revoking statehood for any state that declares bankruptcy? Good idea? Bad idea? I live in Illinois and I think I’m willing to take one for the team if it means Dick Durbin would be out of a job. — Mike Hickman First off, let […]
Last week, when I did the RWN fundraiser, I promised that if it reached the goal I’d set for it, I’d bring back Q&A Friday once a month. Well, we made the goal and this will be the first Q&A Friday since 2009. However, I also promised that I’d allow the people who donated to […]
Liberalism in 120 Seconds: Explaining How Liberals Think In 2 Minutes
Please don’t talk about the good old days of 50-cent steaks when people were getting paid what would now be Tooth Fairy money. — Mark M., M. Asher Cantrell Millions are in an uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is available online at http://bit.ly/kcairo – KC. — Kenneth Cole We’re […]
A lot of people keep talking about a desire for a “democratic” Egypt. I hate to say it but, with the word “democratic” as the starting point, that’s not a very useful discussion. The dictionary definition of a “democracy” is as follows: government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power […]
Even with Detroit in ruins, and nature reclaiming the abandoned wasteland that was once a great city, the Dems who destroyed it continue to make out like the bandits they are: Detroit’s City Council is one of the most expensive in the nation, according to a survey released Wednesday of the nation’s largest cities. Detroit […]
When Comrade Obama promised to “spread the wealth around,” he didn’t mean indiscriminately. The idea is to take it from those who create it, and spread it among the groups that support him most loyally, namely unions and blacks. He has to spread fast, before the country goes bankrupt. An example of how he does […]
The Obama Administration is quickly becoming the most corrupt administration in American history. Recently we reported about the mounting number of waivers that Obama is giving his union pals and union supporters so that they can get away from having to suffer under his Obamacare law and now the president’s jobs-killing greenhouse gas rules levied […]
For a place that is freaking cold and snow in the dead of winter ….. say, why does it snow so darned much in Niagara when the water and air are very cold? ……. you’d think more warm days would be something people would look forward to. Not in Climate Alarmist World NIAGARA FALLS — […]
Well, well, well, it would be interesting if it won. It would join a long list of idiocracy in giving it to Yassar Arafat, Lê ??c Th?, Al Gore and the UN IPCC, Barack Obama, IAEA and Mohammed ElBaradei, Kofi Annan and the UN, and Jimmy Carter. A Norwegian politician said he has nominated WikiLeaks […]
Guess who’s back? It’s not Slim Shady, it’s the Somali Pirates and they’re new and improved! Now, their piracy comes complete with torture: Pirates operating off the coast of Somalia have begun to use aggressive new tactics including torture against captives, according to the commander of the European Union naval force. Captured sailors now face […]
Newly minted West Virginia Senator, Democrat Joe Manchin, ran for office denigrating Obama’s take over of our national healthcare system with his Obamacare law. Tonight he and other so-called “conservative Democrats” in the Senate got a chance to prove that they were, indeed, as conservative as they claimed to be by voting to repeal Obamacare. […]
Okay, lots of stuff going on. On the video below, see “Asmaa Mahfouz: ‘There Will Be Hope’.” The debate over Egypt and the freedom agenda is here: “Egypt and the End of History.” And the epic failures on the administration’s response is here: “Obama Frozen on Egypt.” And be sure to check back for updates.
To instill eco-obedience, our moonbat rulers have to start young, before we're capable of realizing that their rules are arbitrary and meaningless, serving only as an excuse to exercise coercion for the sake of coercion. For example: A couple in Laval, Que. has sparked a fierce debate over how far schools should go to teach […]
Like Shrillary barking at Secret Service agents to fetch her luggage, teleprompter programmer Valerie Jarrett let slip the effete and useless liberal elite’s attitude toward our proud military Monday at the Alfalfa Club, according to the Daily Caller: Jarrett was seated at the head table along with several other big-name politicians and a handful of […]
After all these years in politics, Mitt Romney has finally found something he isn’t going to flip flop on — so far, anyway. Romney recently started a tour to kick off the release of his latest book and when asked if he was sorry he ever signed his name on the Massachusetts healthcare law derided […]
A British police chief has prohibited his own officers from patrolling a local park after dark because he and his fellows are afraid of the punks and trouble makers that infest the place at night. Thanks to a self-destructive and blind obeisance to PCism Britain has truly become an asylum run by the inmates. But […]
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R, KY) announced on Tuesday that he intends to bring to the floor a vote to repeal Obamacare on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid certainly does not want this vote to occur but even so it is highly doubtful that McConnell can get the 60 votes needed to sustain […]
