Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Liberal establishmentarian Lara Pawson of The Guardian has found herself trapped in the heteronormative bourgeois tyranny of marriage. Fortunately for the cause of moonbat liberation, she knows a way to escape: I want to divorce the man I love and he wants to divorce me. We do not wish to separate — simply to end […]
On Veterans Day, it’s appropriate to offer kudos to Obama for overcoming his reflexive anti-Americanism long enough to honor veterans “who have sacrificed on behalf of this great country.” Oh wait, he was referring to Indonesia. “When my stepfather was a boy, he watched his own father and older brother leave home to fight and […]
This is an absolutely true story: The conversation at my Mom’s retirement home got around to the subject of dogs. Someone mentioned the Belgian Sheepdog. “Oh,” my Mom said. “My own mother had one of those before WWI. It was a beautiful dog. It looked a little like a German shepherd, only it was black–” […]
Lt. Col. Allen West is one of the most stand up guys you’ll ever meet. He first came to the public eye when his interrogation of an Iraqi yielded lifesaving results even as it was a bit unorthodox. His professional handling of that incident put him on a track to run for Florida’s 22nd District […]
Here we have a typical encounter between an all caring, more civilized, smarter, and more loving Democrat and one of those eeeevil Republicans. As soon as politics is brought up, hilarity ensues.
For a change, here is a great idea, even if it is more about globull warming than power production Walk barefoot on an asphalt road and you’ll soon realize how good the substance is at storing solar heat — the heat-storing qualities of roadways has even been put forward as an explanation as to why […]
As you may have heard, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” premieres November 14 at 8pm central. I’m excited to announce that I will be co-blogging the show over at “Tubular, blogging TV” at The Houston Chronicle with Bobby Hankinson. If you enjoy TV shows and haven’t been to Tubular, then you have been missing a lot of […]
Especially the parts about raising taxes and cutting the military: Some Fiscal Reality The draft proposal by the chairmen of President Obama’s deficit-reduction commission was a welcome antidote to the low-minded debate that dominated the midterm elections, in which politicians all vowed to reduce the deficit but offered no credible plans. By low minded debate, […]
Right Wing News polled more than 250 right-of-center bloggers on election 2010 and the aftermath. 70 bloggers responded (This one time, the respondents ARE NOT going to be listed. Expect them to be listed as per usual, on the next poll). What follows are the results. Do keep in mind that because some people skipped […]
Does the Republican Party get it? Do they understand that business as usual isn’t good enough anymore? Do they realize that they have to start walking the talk now? Some of them do and some of them don’t. Unfortunately, some of the ones that don’t are in the GOP’s leadership in the Senate. One of […]
Over at Townhall, they posted the results of a fascinating study that showed Republicans and Democrats have very different tastes when it comes to TV shows: Know what really stood out the most for me? The fact that I don’t regularly watch ANYTHING on either list. So, what do I regularly watch? Here’s the list, […]
Cross-posted from American Power. ***** At Wired: And at Chronicle of Higher Education: In V for Vendetta, the protagonist V is a revolutionary fighting a fascist British regime in a dystopian future. V broadcasts a video message calling the British public to action on November 5 in honor of Guy Fawkes’s 1605 attempt to blow […]
Since I was a child, I’ve enjoyed a very specific type of book or movie, of the kind that I call the “Getting it Right” genre. Getting it Right entertainment involves a protagonist who is making big mistakes, and who figures out how to — yes — get it right. The moral trajectory of failure […]
In case you’re looking for yet another reason not to trust the leftist ideologues running Google: The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), a group that advocates for a smaller and more ethical government, wrote to leaders of the House Oversight Committee this month urging them to investigate a major privacy breach by Google. It […]
The Obamination Administration was willing to stoop to new depths to keep its “boot on the neck” of the oil industry that is so crucial to the economy of Gulf states and America in general: The Interior Department’s inspector general says the White House edited a drilling safety report in a way that made it […]
Hypocrisy, they name is Democrat. Michigan’s Mackinac Center for Public Policy has laid bare another example of the hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats. In this case while those representatives that are all hot and bothered to push an ever rising minimum wage law are making noise about how inequities exist in the workplace, these same congressmen […]
Is card check dead? Not completely, but if the recent votes on various state ballot initiatives of four states is any indication it sure seems to be on its last legs. Little noticed by the Old Media, the ballot initiatives of these four states is an important bellwether of how little support Big Labor’s favorite […]
Cross-posted from American Power. ***** At CBS News: When Tony Blair released his memoir earlier this year, a facebook page was created calling for critics of the former prime minister to “Subversively move Tony Blair’s memoirs to the crime section in book shops.” At last count, the Facebook group had more than 14,000 members. The […]
It’s pretty much mule fritters Former President George W. Bush is denying a report that he once said he would have endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 if the Democrat had asked. “This is ridiculous and untrue,” Bush spokesman David Sherzer told POLITICO. “President Bush proudly supported John McCain in the election and voted for him.” […]
The New York Post reminds us of an important fact: ACORN isn’t dead. It is merely attempting to morph into a new group with a different name in order to shed its ruined reputation. It has no intention, though, of disappearing entirely like it should. I’ve also mentioned before that this assumption that the Association […]
They are really unhappy about this in Liberal World, but, they should have known that the majority of Obama promises all come with an expiration date The Obama administration has decided to begin publicly walking away from what it once touted as key deadlines in the war in Afghanistan in an effort to de-emphasize President […]
Via my pal, Cara Ellison, I’ve learned that there’s a hot new sophisticated trend that’s apparently catching on to such an extent that even the New York Times has been forced to report on it. What’s this sassy new trend? Not taking showers: Defying a culture of clean that has prevailed at least since the […]
While President Bush has been making the rounds to promote his new book, he has made it known that he was extremely offended by Kanye West’s suggestion that he was a racist because of the response to Katrina: “He called me a racist,” Bush tells reporter Matt Lauer. “And I didn’t appreciate it then. I […]
You can’t be a fiscal conservative and not be a social conservative. —Jim DeMint In the wilds of the Internet, it’s not unusual to find Libertarians who are diehards about fiscal conservatism, but tend to be socially liberal. They wouldn’t call themselves socially liberal, of course — but they are. For example, if you favor […]
CHURCHVILLE, VA – If the Big Green Bus hasn’t actually stalled, it’s at least got a couple of newly-flattened tires. And the suddenly-Republican U.S. Congress’s opposition to energy taxes is only part of it. It started, of course, after the 1998 El Nino when global land temperatures refused to trend back upward. It became far […]
I said it during the primary, Mark Kirk is a 45 percenter. His record in the House pretty much shows that he will only vote with Republicans 45 percent of the time if left to his druthers. True to my worst fears, Kirk seems to be right on track with my predictions. The man hasn’t […]
Enraged at the results of the 2010 election, some leftists are no longer willing to wait quietly through the Gramscian/Fabian process of incremental totalitarianism. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell freely admits he’s a socialist. Tim Wise openly boasts of the progressive plan to obliterate America through demographics. Now Ted Rall — a fixture in the mainstream media […]
Finally, a shaft of reason falls on the grotesque if politically correct sex change phenomenon: A man who underwent sex change surgery to look like a woman — then changed back — says the NHS [British National Health Service] should halt all sex change operations. Charles Kane, who spent £100,000 on operations to make him […]
President Barack Obama’s now concluding trip to India seems to have turned out to be a failed or at the very least unhelpful effort. His false starts, unhelpful comments and bad policy moves mark this visit as a bit of a mess. Obama made multiple gaffes not only for India but for his own party […]
Al Gore’s much ballyhooed Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has recently announced that it will no longer be engaging in carbon trading, an activity that was the sole purpose that it was created. This is an utter failure of purpose in global warming hysteria yet the Old Media is almost completely silent on this colossal failure. […]
