A few weeks ago I reported on the Texas GOP convention, so I thought it would be interesting to look back at the history of these conventions. On this day in 1854, the Republicans held it’s first state convention. How did this first GOP convention come about? A groundswell of reaction to the pro slavery […]
If Obama, Eric Holder, and their politicized DoJ is truly interested in arguing that Arizona’s tough illegal aliens law violates the supremacy clause of the Constitution, I wonder, will they apply this same clause across the board? That’s what the law is about, holding every party accountable for violating the law. First, though, let’s start […]
Never let a serious crisis go to waste, preaches Obama teleprompter-programmer Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel. After all, they’re opportunities for our moonbat rulers to inflict an agenda that might result in rebellion under normal circumstances. The Deepwater Horizon disaster has been an opportunity not only to demonize the energy sector (which the bumbling crony capitalists […]
Regarding the astounding revelation that NASA’s “foremost” mission under our first Affirmative Action president is to “reach out” to Muslims and help them “feel good” about their (nonexistent for the last thousand years) scientific accomplishments, a word from Charles Krauthammer: “This is a new height in fatuousness,” Krauthammer said. “NASA was established to get America […]
This is something you might have missed last week, but it is vitially important in understanding this administration’s disconnect with radical Islam. The Fort Hood shooter, the Christmas Day bomber, the Times Square attacker. On May 13, the following exchange occurred at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee: Rep. Lamar Smith (R.,Texas): Do you […]
(A friend of mine, Leon Weinstein who is a US citizen that emigrated from the USSR in 1974, wrote this because he is alarmed that the U.S. is headed to the hell he ran from so long ago. This is important stuff, folks. Leon KNOWS what he’s talking about as he lived through Russian Communism. […]
In his recent trip to Racine, Wisconsin, President Obama claimed that his stimulus policies worked and “saved jobs.” He also said that his policies staved off another Great Depression. But lets take a look at some of the graft, waste and pointless, useless, wild-eyed spending that was in his so-called stimulus. $5 million to create […]
You know its bad for unions when even the New York Times publishes a story reporting that Big Labor is losing friends and allies in formerly well controlled political spheres. But such is the times in which we live where fiscal disaster is highlighting the illicitness that is unions in general, but public employees unions […]
Have you ever noticed that liberal whine a lot? The glass is usually empty in their world. Nothing is ever good enough. And, once they have beaten one thing to death, they find something else (though, they will come back to beating the previous thing when necessary). Now we have them whining about air conditioners […]
Oil is beginning to wash up on Florida beaches, and is still streaming out of the blown pipe. Unemployment is not getting better, and more and more economists are worried not about a double dip recession, but, the next Great Depression. HHS is missing deadlines to implement ObamaCare (that’s a good thing, it just shows […]
Original post at 73wire.com The Hill: reports: that President Obama, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats have gone back into economic crisis mode: Obama urged congressional leaders in mid-June to pass an extension of tax breaks and unemployment benefits, and up to $50 billion in aid for states and local governments. Without Congress acting, Obama […]
A day-after holiday roundup from American Power. At left is a good friend of mine, doing a little ’60s-revival partying for the 4th: See: * “Tea Parties and the Constitution.” * “Man Blows Off Arm While Launching Illegal Fireworks.” * “Matthew Rothschild at The Progressive – ‘I Don’t Believe in Patriotism’.” * “Queers Against Israeli […]
As I’ve now mentioned a couple of times, tea party patriots are arguing — at an increasing clip — for activists to get in the business of political conversion. The San Juan Capistrano event on Saturday had just a bit more of an “outreach” feel to it, and recall too that Lt. Col. Allen West […]
And not just ObamaCare, but government programs in general. See, the problem is: people have trouble accessing health care. Thus, we need government programs. Those government programs will grant the access that the free market failed to grant. That’s how it works. Government provides. And yet, we get stories like: Emergency rooms, the only choice […]
Caveat: Paul Krugman is a Nobel-prize-winning Doctor of Economics, and I’m not. I have great respect for economics and the people who study it. This makes me hesitant to argue with Krugman. It also, however, causes me pain when he writes such seemingly inane sentences as: Yes, America has long-run budget problems, but what we […]
How convenient for Mexican bandits that they no longer have to ride around under the desert sun with heavy bandoliers slung across their chests. With our quisling rulers on their side, looting us is so easy, children can do it. Our liberal kleptocracy confiscates taxpayer money to bus in Mexicans from across the border for […]
Through excessive taxes and regulations, our socialist rulers are creating an economic climate in which finding a job is unlikely, but fortunately no one needs a job with Big Government there to hand you other people’s money as unemployment compensation forever and ever. As an added benefit, paying people to sit at home watching TV […]
Lt. Col. Allen West is running for Florida’s 22nd Congressional District. This man is the real deal, Florida. We need men like Col. West in Washington D.C. http://allenwestforcongress.com/
A group called Liberty Counsel is suing Florida’s Collier County Schools for banning Bibles from being distributed on its campuses even after allowing the practice for years. The organization World Changers has been distributing Bibles to students during off-school hours on the day closest to national Religious Freedom Day — held on January 16 — […]
In January one of the early “successes” of the White House was the Lilly Ledbetter Act, legislation that was supposed to insure equal pay “for everybody.” Apparently, as in all Obama’s pronouncements, the outcome of Obama’s drive for “fairness” is rarely as advertised. In this case, some people are more equal than others at least […]
Original post at 73wire.com In an interview with the Huffington Post, Democrat House Speaker called for an end to the Senate filibuster for the new Congress convening in January 2011.: But just how realistic is San Fran Nan?: And will she think the same if when the Republicans take over Congress?: Surely she must remember […]
I almost spoke too soon. Just after mentioning that I hadn’t found too many anti-American blogs dissing 4th of July, here we have Zandar the Stupid smearing traditional Americans as racist for opposing the left’s move to create an unemployment benefit entitlement. Paul Krugman slams folks like this as “heartless” and “clueless.” But Sir Stupid […]
And, by shocker, I mean I gave serious consideration to whether I even wanted to write a post on this poll. I don’t write about water being wet, do I? Conservatives are more than twice as likely as liberals to express very: strong patriotism, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll in which 48 percent of […]
Yes, you read that correctly. The head of NASA, Charles Bolden, had this to say in an interview with Al Jazeera (via Powerline and Weasel Zippers (who provides the bold) “Bolden: I am here in the region — its sort of the first anniversary of President Barack Obama’s visit to Cairo — and his speech […]
I’m on vacation all this week. While I’m out, some of RWN’s week-end bloggers will be filling in. Make sure to give ’em a warm welcome!
A roundup of 4th of July posts at American Power. * Read the Declaration of Independence here: “Independence Day 2010.” * Holiday thoughts for the minority party under Obamanation: “Political Opposition.” * A fantastic 4th of July Twitter find: “Best Politically Incorrect Tweep Evah!” * On the farce of modern Supreme Court nominations: “Elena Kagan […]
I spent yesterday at the Marin County Fair. It was, for the most part, a very pleasant experience and could have been any county fair, anywhere in America. The kids wanted to spend all their time on the midway, standing in long hot lines, spinning to the point of acute nausea, and being suspended upside […]
Forget politics today, let the hardcore progressives do their typical thing (whoops, that was kinda political). CNN/Money makes a list of 100 great things about America, and, as they say, they are in no particular order (which was good, since I was about to blast them for #1 on the list). What are some of […]
Huge tea party entry over at my place, “San Juan Capistrano Tea Party, July 3, 2010.” And what was unusual was the run-in I had with some progressive America- and Israel-bashers. From my post: I was distracted from some of the speakers by a group of radicals that was hanging out by the street. Members […]
You don’t look a day over 240. In celebration, Ted Nugent, playing the Star Spangled Banner: And check this out from TedNugent.com: On Independence Day, the AmazonMP3 store is having a very special one day sale! 30 different tracks from Ted Nugent – in a special compilation called Happy Defiance Day Everyday – will be […]
