Listen to this discussion with Keith Olbermann and Yale political scientist Akhil Reed Amar. Progressives despise limited government, a concept that never leaves the lips of either of these men. The full entry is here:” Progressives Want to Read Slavery Back Into Constitution.” Additional commentary at American Power.
I mentioned previously that one of the extreme gender feminists suggested on Twitter that the #MooreandMe protest was something akin to a new civil rights movement. No doubt there’s quite a bit of self-congratulations there. And while the gender feminists did gain a lot of attention, the power of Twitter and other media is to […]
At WSJ, “Savings Ordered Up, Spurring First Troop Cuts in Decades; Salvo in Budget War“: In an early salvo in Washington’s battle over the deficit, the White House ordered the Pentagon to rein in its budget, a move that will force a sizable cut in overall troop numbers for the first time in two decades. […]
At London’s Daily Mail, “Girls, Guns and Why Tom Jones and Elvis BOTH Wanted to Beat Up John Lennon.” (Via Dana Loesch.) Read it all. Elvis couldn’t stand Lennon’s antiwar pacifism, and Jones was tempted to kick Lennon’s but himself. Cross-posted from American Power.
Of all the insolent falsehoods we’ve been fed by oligarchical collectivists lately, the most insulting to our intelligence may be the whopper that government seizure of the healthcare industry will, instead of adding even more massively to the deficit than other entitlement programs, magically reduce it. Fortunately there is at least one countermoonbat in Congress […]
The nice thing about socialism is that no individual is responsible for his own behavior. That means that if you screw yourself up, it’s society’s fault — and you can sue taxpayers: A man who once weighed nearly 70 stone [980 pounds] is to launch legal action against the NHS [Britain’s socialized medicine monolith], claiming […]
And the New Black Panther case controversy is at the centerpiece of it’s first oversight letter. Right Turn’s Jennifer Rubin reports: Right Turn has obtained the first oversight letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) issued to the Justice Department. While he was in the minority, Smith labored, largely unsuccessfully, on the committee […]
Obviously, this will drive the greenie-weenies insane, because they think that Someone Else besides themselves should have to suffer House Republicans wasted no time Thursday in trying to block the Obama administration from acting to stem global warming. On their second day in power, Republican lawmakers introduced several bills that would hamstring the Environmental Protection […]
My D.C. trip was a mixture of emotions for me. On the one hand it was fun to see all my fellow conservative actitivists (we always have a blast when we get together), and it was exciting to go to a reception for the new Congress. But on the other hand, I learned about dangerous […]
As most of us know, the American People were dead set against the passage of the so-called “Affordable Care Act,” which started out with the notion of reducing health insurance costs and providing coverage to the 30-45 million Americans that had no health insurance, and escalated to a 2,000 page bill that none who voted […]
40) My fear is that the whole island (of Guam) will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize. — Hank Johnson 39) Imagine if somebody were to really sit down with Osama Bin Ladin and say, ‘Listen man,what is it that you’re so angry at me about that you’re willing to […]

Let’s face it: does it get much sweeter than a week long vacation? Ok, how about this: A week long vacation at home with nothing to do? That’s what I had going on the week after Christmas. Superficially, it sounds like it’s more fun to go somewhere for a week, but when you do that, […]
While I was on Capitol Hill to cover Wednesday’s swearing-in of the 112th Congress, I dropped by Marco Rubio’s office: Alas, poor Marco! Florida’s Tea Party superstar has been stuck in a temporary office in the basement, behind the cafeteria, on a dead-dead corridor across the hall from the Senate stationery store! The new senator […]
Incoming governor California Jerry Brown is now considering how to plug the $28 billion hole in the California budget.: There is talk that he is “seriously considering” what to do about Proposition 13 (which he opposed in the 1970s when it was passed) and putting a tax increase before voters in June.:
The Financial Times carries one of those “quiz” headlines: “Tycoon Offers to Help Debt-Laden California.” Hallelujah-and-put-your-teeth-back-in- Ethel, right? But who the hell is “Nicolas Berggruen” and why does he care about California?
At the “natural born” passage, a heckler apparently yelled: “Except Obama, except Obama. Help us Jesus.” See ABC News, “Constitution Reading on House Floor Mired by Yelling, Objections.” (And more at Memeorandum.) Cross-posted from American Power.
I’ve got some additional thoughts on the Assange rape allegations backlash: “The Gender Feminist ‘Rape Card’.” RELATED: “Gender Feminists Throw The Nation’s Greg Mitchell Under the Bus.” Ane more commentary later today at American Power.
Just because the public has thrown them out of the leadership position is no reason for House Democrats to begin showing respect for the Constitution they are sworn to uphold, yet seem to despise. From their friends at the Washington Compost: For more than 200 years, Americans have revered the Constitution as the law of […]
Countermoonbat Congressman Peter King (R-NY) has received the ultimate recommendation in the form of a denunciation by the Islamophiles of the New York Times, a publication that characteristically stands with Historic First Muslim Congresscritter Keith Ellison against anyone with the backbone to face the Islamic enemy within. If the militant moonbats at the Slimes thought […]
Representative Marsha Blackburn (R, TN) has introduced a bill to preempt the December power grab by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski and she has made the bill bipartisan with the support of Democrat Dan Boren (Oklahoma). Blackburn’s bill would place all rules governing the Internet in the purview of Congress and would take the […]
Remember the floating patch of plastic garbage swirling in the Pacific Ocean between California and Japan that was claimed to be the “twice the size of Texas”? Well if Texas is the size of, well, Teaxs, it turns out that the plastic patch isn’t quite so large. Like most of the wild-eyed claims by enviro-Nazis […]
And by polluters, they mean “companies that release CO2, a gas necessary for most life on planet Earth”: Why we need a law on ecocide Sophie Scholl, a Munich University student, was executed for revealing the truth about the activities of the Nazi authorities; today 20 brave Ratcliffe whistleblowers have been sentenced at Nottingham crown […]
And unlike during the Democrat controlled Congress, this legislation from Republicans will actually see a floor vote Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) isn’t wasting any time with his immigration agenda, dropping a bill on the first day of Congress that goes after birthright citizenship. King’s measure would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, ending automatic citizenship […]
Inevitably, the squishy soft form of totalitarianism known as political correctness has reached the point that great works of literature are being rewritten to conform to current ideological orthodoxy: Mark Twain wrote that “the difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter.” A new edition of “Adventures of […]
It could be that even George Monbiot is ready to give up on the thoroughly exposed global warming hoax, because he is searching hungrily for a new crisis to exploit — like Big Government’s failure to prevent us from having too much space: The issue is surplus housing — the remarkable growth of space that […]
So, after talking to a doctor yesterday, the verdict is stomach flu. He did give me some medicine to help alleviate some of the symptoms, but he said it would probably be 2-3 more days before I recover. In the interim, I am so knocked out that I’m sleeping about 5 out of every 6 […]
There are all sorts of fun stories running around the liberal media today, ones such as this one, which is already proclaiming the GOP is having problems with cohesion. And this one from Time, which wonders if the opening ceremony, which includes “showcasing their fealty to the Constitution,” is making a mockery of ….. something. […]
-By Warner Todd Huston One of the biggest recurring themes in union reporting these days is music to the ears of any fiscally responsible American. It seems almost weekly that we are seeing stories that recount the ire being directed at public employee unions. Let us hope that this reporting is the first ripples of […]
