Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

There’s a whole group of sad sack moderates in the Republican Party who’ve made a name for themselves by trashing conservatives. You know the people I’m talking about: David Frum, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker, Meghan McCain, etc., etc., etc. Now, we can argue about whether their intentions are good (sometimes), whether their complaints have any […]
As the market continues to stumble, sales of existing homes hit a 15 year low, and even Burger King is now seeing weak demand, Biden is out defending the Democrats foolish economic plans, while his boss takes yet another vacation. Yet, in the real world, other, smarter, people, who have actually held real jobs, know […]
In an attempt to patronize and curry favor with Hispanic voters, Michael Steele is working hard to tick off Republicans Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is putting some political distance between the national Republican Party and Arizona Republicans who enacted a tough immigration-enforcement law earlier this year. “Let’s be clear. The actions of one […]
On June 17th Vice President Biden joined Robert Gibbs at the regular news briefing to talk about the “Summer of Recovery.” He said, “more people are going to be put to work this summer.” He also said private-sector jobs will make up the “vast bulk” of the jobs created by the stimulus act. Now, here […]
So much for moderate Muslims repudiating jihad: Experts worry the controversy surrounding an Islamic center near ground zero in Lower Manhattan is playing right into the hands of radical extremists. The supercharged debate over the proposed center has attracted the attention of a quiet, underground audience – young Muslims who drift in and out of […]
Marc A. Thiessen, certainly not as perky and hawt as Tiffany A. Thiessen (though, Marc certainly has a more steady gig), puts it all in perspective Much attention has been paid in recent days to a poll by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life showing that 18 percent of Americans incorrectly believe that […]
The problem with never living with consequences is that one has trouble imagining consequences of one’s actions. Thus, a pampered elite class has trouble with health care reform because it’s chock full of unintended consequences–to them. Anyone with a brain and who has had to live the cause-effect understands and has an uncanny gift to […]
Yes, they have a lot of hatemongers. No, you won’t read anything in the self-same media complex about their own hatred and bias because, you know, bias. Here’s some examples from Newsbusters: Conservative Congresswoman Would Have Liked the Holocaust: “[Representative Michele Bachmann is] a hatemonger. She’s the type of person that would have gladly rounded […]
Eric Hoffer is one of my favorite philosophers and students of human nature. Not only was he ahead of his time, he was ahead of our time when it came to understanding certain facets of human nature. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything he wrote, but this guy was one sharp cookie. How sharp? […]
The news is everywhere of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s recall of millions of eggs from several Midwestern farms allegedly due to fears of a salmonella outbreak but the real story is undergoing a massive coverup. The truth is that Congressional Democrats are behind this recall. In a secret document discovered by famed blogger […]
When Obama et al. have succeeded in dragging down the USA so that it’s just another country, with no more influence than any other, who will hold the bad guys at bay? The answer: the UN of course. The UN’s blue-helmeted soldiers of politically correct righteousness are already in action: GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo […]
Now that the Ground Zero Victory Mosque has suddenly inspired in liberals a reverence for freedom of religion and property rights, no doubt the establishment media will begin screeching insults at anyone who opposes the Downings of Vermont: To Richard and Joan Downing, the 24-foot-tall cross on a hilltop on their property is an expression […]
If one can believe a word Senator John Kerry (D, Mass) says, the United States is launching efforts to negotiate with Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan. “I can report without being specific that there are efforts under way. They are serious and I completely agree with that fundamental premise — and so does General [David] Petraeus […]
Despite that President Obama made Cap and Trade and other green policy plans a focal point of his early days in office — not to mention his campaign for president — the White House has quietly scrubbed from its official website many of Obama’s promises and green initiatives. I guess the era of Obama really […]
Yesterday, the Clinton News Network gave informed Obama of the 10 things he needed to do in the next 10 weeks. Today, we find the 10 things the GOP must do in the next 10 weeks (from a liberal perspective). Let’s give them their due (somewhat, they are still left leaning) 1. Focus on jobs, […]
As the left falls all over itself to claim that building the Ground Zero Mega-Mosque is the perfect chance to “showcase” our “Constitutional freedoms” and our religious tolerance, there is another state where religious tolerance is not as noticeably on display as it is for New York’s Muslims. Naturally, in Vermont, it is the religious […]
A subject I rarely touch on, but, this is not really about abortion, as such. The setup It’s a question that has perplexed philosophers, theologians and scientists for thousands of years. Pythagorean Greeks, early Christian church fathers, Talmudic rabbis, Sunni and Shia thinkers, Hindu brahmin and modern bioethicists have grappled with the fundamental, ultimately unknowable, […]
One of the great ironies of American politics is that the least bigoted group of people in the country, conservatives, are continually accused of being hatemongers by the most prejudiced and race-obsessed people in our nation. No matter how often conservatives advocate race-neutral policies, condemn racism, or prove we’re not racists, we’re still smeared for […]
The words “moderate Muslim” get tossed around quite a bit these days, but you seldom hear people define exactly what they mean by the term. So, I decided to take a crack at it with some clearly definable standards. In my book, a moderate Muslim is a Muslim who… 1) Opposes terrorist attacks on Americans […]
Why are Democrat Congressmen avoiding Summer townhalls? Here is a little explanation of that… Featuring Clint Howard, little brother of the very liberal Hollywood director Ron Howard, this film does a great job skewering the Democrats. Brought to you by Heritage Action for America.
The American Thinker has a nice piece illustrating the Soros’ “tentacles”. Indeed. Oh, and looky here: The Sojourner’s Blog, another Soros funded enterprise doing their best to establish President Obama’s Christian bonafides and it’s on CNN–that bastion of objectivity. Ah, how the lefty world turns. Rich, fertile soil for corruption don’t you think? Someone should […]
NOTE: John has already written a good piece on this, but I was knee-deep in my own, so I’m adding it here anyway. This might be a little inside-baseball-ish, but I believe it’s important. Also, I am only going to include the first couple of paragraphs and you can go to the link for the […]
The Washington Times gives three more reasons to believe that the Cloward-Piven strategy of ushering in communism by deliberately collapsing the economy under the burden of public spending is alive and well: First came word that new jobless claims … jumped above half a million, a number so large that one economist said “it looks […]
Over at the Daily Caller, they’re running a story called, “True stories of bloggers who secretly feed on partisan cash.” While there’s some validity to the story, parts of it are WILDLY overstated and it gives a very inaccurate impression of what’s going on: Katie Couric once described bloggers as journalists who gnaw at new […]
Remarkably, it has taken the politically correct bureauweenies atop the Army less than a year to respond to the terrorist massacre at Fort Hood. Here‘s how the top brass will make sure there are no more Islamic terror attacks by Muslim infiltrators within the military: More than nine months after the Fort Hood, Texas, massacre, […]
Few things frighten a woman more than hearing a doctor say, You have breast cancer. As a nurse, I’ve seen women fight their very personal struggle, enduring pain and fighting as life slips away – so my blood boiled when I read the Wall Street Journal story about the cruelty for women with breast cancer […]
Roger Ebert is nothing if he isn’t a knee-jerk leftist, absolutely without a single original political or cultural thought in his head and his latest meandering post on the Sun-Times hosted Roger Ebert’s Journal is a perfect example. His piece is titled “Ten things I know about the mosque” but it doesn’t seem like there […]
Are you a blogger in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? Do you have Google Adsense or some other sort of low-return ads on your blog? If so expect a letter soon from your friendly city treasurer demanding that you pay a $300 tax on your “money making business.” For most people that maintain an active […]
Some are comparing him to the Goracle, but, really, Gore refuses to debate to start with Hollywood director James Cameron challenged three high profile global warming skeptics to a public debate at a global warming and energy conference. But Cameron backed out of the debate at the last minute after environmentalists “came out of the […]
Victor Davis Hanson at his finest: Note that the elite, secretly at least, understand that no one should take them all that seriously. A Guantanamo was a Stalag under Bush but now a mere complex dilemma, and not to be shut down under Obama (e.g., one of those released terrorists might show up in Brentwood). […]
