“I shall know but one country. The ends I aim at shall be my country’s, my God’s and Truth’s. I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American.” — Daniel Webster In a nation like the United States, which is the greatest nation that’s ever existed since God breathed life […]
This comes to you without so much as a trace of novelty, if you’ve been living anywhere apart from another planet, or at the bottom of the Gulf, for the last ten years. But the people in the United States — indeed, all of the civilized countries across the globe — have been bitterly fractured […]
Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, what in the name of all that’s holy are you talking about? On four occasions, [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham met with Tea Party groups. The first, in his Senate office, was “very, very contentious,” he recalled. During a later meeting, in Charleston, Graham said he challenged them: “ ‘What do you […]
The Anchoress posted at her blog a semi-animated video by a self-avowed Marxist explaining why Marxism, not capitalism, will save the world. I have to admit that I didn’t watch it. It wasn’t the content that drove me away, it was the choppy visuals, which trigger migraines. Having just beaten back a migraine, I wasn’t […]
Good news: the ozone layer is growing back to what it was, pre-human screwitupititis: While the hole in the Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly healing, its recovery might have a downside, scientists say: Climate change could change wind patterns and send ozone from high in the atmosphere down to the surface, where it is […]
Well, it’s the weekend’s leaderboard extravaganza. I’ve got a couple of posts up over at American Power. See, “Liz Cheney Statement on Michael Steele Resignation,” and “Michael Steele Caught on Tape: ‘War of Obama’s Choosing’” (VIDEO).
You’ve probably seen this exchange between Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Awesome) and SCOTUS nominee Elena Kagan already: Coburn asks: If I wanted to sponsor a bill, and it said Americans, you have to eat three vegetables and three fruits every day. And I got it through Congress and it’s now the law of the land. Gotta […]
America is fast coming to a crossroads from which there will be no return if we take the wrong path. Do we take the road that leads away from America and toward a Euro-esque way of governing? Do we cast aside our American character and bury our great nation in a grave of socialist-styled authority? […]
Ron Brynaert has a story over at his The Raw Story blog that reveals yet another denizen of the Old Media that is trying to be both a “journalist” and an official operative of Barack Obama’s White House. She is Patricia McGinnis, an unpaid advisor at the White House and also one of the contributors […]
Of course, they won’t come out and say that, since they vote Democrat mostly, after all. Many of them have seemed to have turned a corner in wondering just what the heck the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats are doing The economic expansion is sputtering. It’s been hit or miss ever since the passage of […]
And by documents, I mean a total of three, only two of which mention CO2, and were asking for serious, real scientific inquiry into the matter, but, they have sent the climate alarmists in the media into orgasm. Both the AP and MSNBC have great spin on these documents, among others. Let’s look at the […]
The late Senator Robert Byrd’s (D-WV) memorial service was today. Several prominent politicos, including O’Biden, spoke and paid their respects, as did former President Bill Clinton – but he said one thing during his speech that has left a lot of people scratching their heads: There are a lot of people who wrote these eulogies […]
* My corollary to Godwin’s Law: “At some point or another, every single person on the internet will be called a Nazi.” * People too often tend to ascribe evil motives to acts better explained by carelessness, stupidity, and thoughtlessness. * Americans say they want bipartisanship in DC. But, what they reward is brutal partisanship […]
At Michelle’s (via): In his immigration speech on Thursday, President Obama heralded America as a “nation of immigrants” defined not by blood or birth, but by “fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear.” If only it were so. Left-wing academics and activists spurned assimilation as a common goal long ago. Their […]
Although I don’t always agree with Charlie Cook, I do have to admit he’s a very smart guy. He also makes a living calling elections and he’s pretty darn good at it. With that in mind, take a look at what Cook is saying about the elections in November, The numbers were from the latest […]
The St. Louis Cardinals’ Tony La Russa isn’t just one of the greatest managers in the history of baseball. He’s a true American, with the spine to defy the liberal establishment by speaking in favor of freedom of expression and the rule of law. Here he is standing with supporters of Arizona’s SB1070: Predictably, the […]
Progressives are at their most depraved and nakedly evil when expressing their contempt for human life. The concept of sympathy cards for men who lose children to abortion has induced liberal blogger Amanda Marcotte to cough up this clot of bile: Anti-choicers [are] pretending that they just discovered they oppose abortion because it violates men’s […]
Daley’s temper tantrum against guns continues, but at a much subdued pace. With its recent McDonald v the City of Chicago ruling the Supreme Court of the United States essentially made Daley’s outright gun ban unconstitutional so the mayor has had to retrench and come up with new onerous rules to try and limit guns […]
Once again Democrats decided that it was a good idea to pay workers of federal employee unions 100% of their salary to do union business during work hours instead of doing the job they were hired for. That’s right, instead of paying these federal employees to do the job we the people hired them to […]
From my good friend, Maj. Steven Givler, “New Home for My Paintings.” Lots more fabulous paintings at the link. And on this holiday weekend I take pride in reposting Steven’s e-mail to me from April 4, 2009: Sir, Thank you for your blog. I’ve often wondered lately whether my more than 20 years of military […]
And I get a lot of flak from leftists for posting Sports Illustrated swimsuit hotties? Go figure. At Althouse, “Andres ‘Piss Christ’ Serrano as a guest judge on “Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.” And click through to the original article. Some of the works include things like men performing sexual self-gratification. And you […]
Hey, you know that high risk pool ObamaCare mandated, and just started accepting applications Thursday, July 1st? How’s that working out? The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured. Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool […]
It’s funny. The left is accusing John Boehner of drinking in bars every night (where was the concern with Ted Kennedy?) Perhaps they should be more concerned about Pelosi knocking back a few shots of Mezcal prior to speaking appearances Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi […]
Leftist totalitarianism on display — and these these are popping up more frequently around here, from the comments to my recent smackdown of fail-blogger Blue Texan at Firedoglake: Wow – had no idea there was this kind of inbred stupidity burning so bright in the States. Here’s the deal teatard – remember November 2008? Yeah […]
Six Months to Go Until The Largest Tax Hikes in History ATR In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011 Just what we need during a recession – thank you Obama and Democrats! Gunfire hitting City Hall […]
His bigger complaint is that the GOP’s model — to the extent they have some kind of coherent theory about new media, and it’s quite questionable they even have that — is that the GOP shall be tasked with all intellectual work of creating and shaping a message, and then they will send out mass […]
If you are not a fan of Thomas Sowell, you should be. A few years ago, I read his book, “Vision of the Anointed.” There was one particular section of the book that stuck with me, and it is especially relevant considering the speech President Obama gave yesterday in Racine, Wisconsin. Here is what the […]
Original post at 73wire.com The reflexive nature of the press to defend and attack any critic of President Obama is eerily statist. I found an interesting read via the HotAir headlines: from McClatchy, which defends Obama’s action of not waiving the Jones Act of 1920.: While the article brings up good points, I will admit, it […]
Elena Kagan is a pretty typical liberal judge — by that, I mean that she cares nothing about the Constitution and she’ll vote whichever way she believes will most help the Left. In other words, she’ll be little different from Stevens, Sotomayor, and Breyer, as opposed to Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito who stick to […]
This morning Ben Smith of Politico posted a story that essentially mislead readers about what newfound conservative hero Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey thought about immigration. Smith’s article spun Christie into an “amnesty” supporter when it doesn’t seem he is. One has to wonder why Smith did this? Among many other issues, in the […]
