Education Next undertook for the first time an effort to find out how much of their members dues money that teachers unions spent on political action. The results are very interesting. The analysis discovered that, “national teachers unions and their state affiliates spent more than $100 per teacher in five states, with Oregon at the […]
At least for this year Senate Democrats pulled the plug on climate legislation Thursday, pushing the issue off into an uncertain future ahead of midterm elections where President Barack Obama’s party is girding for a drubbing. Rather than a long-awaited measure capping greenhouse gases – or even a more limited bill directed only at electric […]
New federal regulations issued by Obama’s administration will require doctors to record their patient’s body mass index (BMI) ratio. No longer will your weight problems be a matter between you and your doctor. Thanks to Obama, now your doctor will be required by law to snitch to the feds on how fat you are. Like […]
Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should […]
Been busy today with a few posts, in reverse chronological order: * “‘Not All Journalists Are Jerks’ – And Then There’s JournoList.” * “Letter From Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson.” * “Shirley Sherrod May Sue for Defamation: ‘Andrew Breitbart Came at Me’.” * “The Vast Left-Wing Media Conspiracy.” * “Terry Moran on ‘Nightline’ – ‘A Kind of […]
President Obama has his priorities straight, indeed.: Within hours of Shirley Sherrod asking to speak to Obama, he spoke to her: to express his regret: White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president expressed his regret, and told Sherrod he hoped she would accept the Agriculture Department’s offer of a new position, saying she could parlay […]
I’ve long been a fan of Michele Bachmann. She’s conservative, fearless, pays attention to the grassroots, and I really believe her heart’s in the right place. That being said, I have to respectfully disagree with her decision to create a Tea Party Caucus in the House, Congress has strayed from the fundamental principles of the […]
Again we see that the white racism supposedly oppressing privileged blacks in this country is a concoction of the leftist ruling class. Thanks go to militant moonbat Mary Frances Berry — Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania and Commissioner on the US Commission on […]
This is some brilliant parody of the Talking Heads song “Same As It Ever Was.” This one lampoons Obama’s sad reaction to the Gulf oil spill. Smashing work, from The PolitiZoid Channel. They also gave us this one… Love it. (H/T HotAir.com and alhouse.blogspot.com)
Liberals often point to Social Security as the definitive accomplishment of collectivism in America. Sure it required their idol Franklin Roosevelt to set himself up as a dictator and steamroll over the Constitution, but it was worth it to guarantee that no one needs to take responsibility for their own retirement plans. Few realize just […]
When companies are found to have violated regulations that govern their industry, is it right that a jury of non-experts can award damages the amount of which will wipe the company off the face of the earth? That is a question that has been raised in a case recently decided against Skilled Healthcare LLC of […]
It’s fascinating to see Shirley Sherrod being lionized as some sort of hero because after she racially discriminated against a white farmer, she had a change of heart. Would any conservative be treated as a hero for doing the same thing or would the Left sneer and refuse to believe that she changed her stripes? […]
The centerpiece of Barack’s Obama first two years in office has been the health care reform that the Democratic Party shoved through Congress over the objections of the Republican Party and the American people. Not only was the legislation unpopular when it was passed, polls have consistently shown that the American people want to see […]
No, seriously, he will, and he seems really geared up for it! President Obama will sign into law Thursday the Improper Payment Elimination Act — an effort designed to slim down wasteful government programs and curb fraud in federal spending. “The fact is, Washington is a place where tax dollars are often treated like Monopoly […]
Second place looms large and it is quite an honorable — or maybe onerous — award on our top ten most left-biased working American journalists list. Amusingly our number two guy even graduated from a school that foretold his future work. From the bowels of New York’s exclusive Hackley School comes our number two most […]
A few months ago I wrote an expose on Marvel’s Captain America comics number 602 in which the writers and artists of the book portrayed Captain America saying that Tea Party groups in America are racist and dangerous. It looks like the makers of next year’s Captain America movie in Hollywood have taken that Cappy-against-America […]
Yesterday, I had a second post ready to go about about racism, which included a bit from Ben Smith’s article about Obama being pretty lame on the subject (Melissa Clouthier covers that story this morning.) However, since there were several other posts about racism up at Right Wing News (I cross post the first two […]
In April Lee Ohanian of the American Enterprise Institute published a paper on the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) that is a must read. But this month he published a shorter piece that is just as interesting. In it, Ohanian claims that if we increased unionism as the Obamaites want to do, we’d actually lose […]
Racism has been about this: Mary Frances Berry Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn. : Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many […]
I got really sad yesterday. Really sad. Writing about politics is never really uplifting, but I don’t like false narratives, and I feel compelled to fight against them. Sometimes I get excited, frustrated, disappointed, or furious. But I rarely get sad. But I was sad. This is why. I was 8 years old in Jackson, […]
“Despite the lawsuits, the controversies and the occasional hatemail, blogging has been a highlight of my life over the past decade.” Kathy bears a close relationship (of the matrimonial kind) to my old-time blog buddy Blazing Cat Fur. HAT TIP: Glenn Reynolds. Cross-posted from American Power.
When it comes to illegals, Liberals are just getting truly silly. Redding.com picks up the story of one Gauldry Almonte-Hernandez, recounting how he made it all the way to mountains of Trinity County, California, perhaps after spending some time at the zoo and doing all sorts of touristy things, found himself at a marijuana camp, […]
Another University bars a Republican. Shocker. From the press release: While many college students are currently enjoying their time off, some are utilizing this summer to prepare for the upcoming school year. Conservative activists at Loyola University Chicago were planning to bring best-selling author and Young America’s Foundation lecturer Karl Rove to their campus for […]
The smarty pants set, breezily dismiss the contents of Journolist, the group made up of hundreds of mainstream journalists, bloggers, activists and Democrat policy wonks. The reasoning goes this way: how is it shocking that a bunch of like-minded people want to get together and chat? I mean, that’s just human. They’re young and liberal […]
Let’s hope we all learned the lesson we should have from the Sherrod affair (see post below if you aren’t familiar with it). The lesson is that both sides need to stop with the deeming those that disagree with them as “racist.” The left needs to stop trying to paint the Tea Party as racist. […]
UPDATE:: Drudge is reporting that the NYT on Thursday will make public confdential documents that provide a detailed look at what happened the night before the oil rig explosion. The Hill : reports: the latest attempt by the Democrats to deflect the outrage of the American people by blame shifting the cause of the Gulf oil spill […]
A new post up, with big screencaps and strong words, so better just send readers over to my place: “JournoListers Rejoice in Their Evil.” As always, more commentary and analysis at American Power.
Back when the “Al Gore, Giggling Crazed Sex Poodle” massage that almost turned into a sexual assault scandal broke, there were some questions about whether the masseuse was telling the truth. Granted, her story sounded plausible — and creepy. But let’s face it: In this 15 minutes of fame, reality show, lawsuit lottery culture, you […]
The Daily Caller has released more chilling revelations from Journolist, where establishment journalists let it all hang out, believing that no one who isn’t a militant moonbat can hear them. We’ve already learned that they conspired to suppress coverage of Obama’s close association will the rabidly anti-American, Caucasian-hating maniac Jeremiah Wright. Now we learn that […]
Out of work? Had to take a pay cut? Look at the bright side — at least bureaucrats are still raking in plenty of dough: Hundreds of residents of one of the poorest municipalities in Los Angeles County shouted in protest last night as tensions rose over a report that the city’s manager earns an […]
