Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

One of Obamacare’s new rules states that if your employer finds it necessary to change healthcare providers to a more cost effective plan they will lose their federal health plan exemptions. This will cause employers to drop employees from health plans forcing workers onto government sponsored plans. So much for Obama’s hoary idea that you […]
For a change, the blamee is not Bush. Mexican President Calderone goes further An explosion of drug violence in Mexico has killed hundreds of people in the past five days and prompted the country’s president to issue a 5,000-word manifesto warning that the fight against organized crime must continue “or we will always live in […]
And, Obama swings and misses during his first televised speech from the Oval office. Fifty five plus days out, and Obama still has no plan. He offered absolutely nothing new other than a few seemingly offhand remarks about “Doing Something.” He talked about lawsuits and holding BP accountable. Threw lots of blame around while claiming […]

Imagine, if you will, that you’re a normal person and then one day a quasi-famous mentally ill blogger becomes fixated on you the way Gollum was fixated on the Ring. Even though she hasn’t been setting the world on fire lately, she has been on TV, on the Howard Stern show and she’s written for […]
It was dreadful. NYT‘s has its report, “In Oval Office Speech, Obama Presses BP on Compensation,” and also Politico, “President Obama: ‘We will make BP pay’.” WSJ‘s got the text of the speech via Memeorandum, and this should be leading by the end of the evening. I’ll have more later, but the president was dishonest […]
7:46: Obama speaks to the nation in 14 minutes. Grab the popcorn, tune up your BS meters, and hold your wallets tight. 8:00: I am watching MSNBC for the liveblog so I can learn how this is what Lincoln would have said about a massive oil spill in the gulf. 8:01: Key words to remember […]
Back in 2009 a video compilation of clips of impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was posted on YouTube. Today folks are realizing that this video features Blago claiming that the reason prosecutors went after him was to get information on President Obama. On the video made at a book signing party at Columbia College, Blago […]
The bleeding heart quislings of the news media are fond of framing the Mexican invasion in terms of huddled masses yearning to breathe free, diligent workers seeking opportunity, yadda yadda yadda. This line of propaganda yanks on the heartstrings because as liberals keep reminding us, we are a nation of immigrants. But there is a […]

Patrick Frey and Matt Welch are just hammering useful tool Eric Boehlert of Media Mutters for America. We’re talkin’ utter devastation — total Maximus Decimus Meridius takedown territory for the useful clown at MMFA. Matt’s piece is especially killer, “Don’t You Go Calling Obama an ‘ex-state senator, ‘Hater!’.” Turns out Boehlert can’t get out from […]
Conservative Republican Steve King said the following about Barack Obama, Democrats on Tuesday denounced an Iowa Republican congressman who says President Barack Obama favors blacks over whites, and a GOP candidate from Colorado canceled a fundraiser the Iowan was to keynote. Rep. Steve King, known for sometimes incendiary remarks about immigration, Abu Ghraib and other […]
The reason the standard of living invariably goes down as the size of government goes up is that bureaucrats do not spend other people’s money as wisely as we spend our own. For yet another example, refer to the moonbat dystopia of the San Francisco area: Believe it or not, BART [Bay Area Rapid Transit] […]
One of the most ironic things about liberals is that they constantly fret about our image in the world. “Why that Cowboy George Bush is making people hate us!” If you heard something like that once over the last 8 years, you probably heard it a hundred times. So, what happens when a liberal like […]
Well, she’s a former alcoholic, drug addict, washed up actor, shock therapy patient (no, really) and one-time princess to the universe, but now Carrie “Princess Leia” Fisher can add one more calumny to her long list of off-kilter, personality deficits: she’s a “teabagger” hater. So, she’s got that going for her, which is nice. Hawking […]
The outrage of union activities never ceases to amaze. From the Education Week blog we find that the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), the teachers union of New York, spends almost $200,000 a year of its member’s dues money on an office in Boca Raton, Florida! As Ed Week drolly says, “That’s not peanuts for […]
There’s a time and a place for everything. For example, there may be nothing wrong with building a museum of Japanese military history, but would the place for that be Pearl Harbor? How about our First Amendment right to speak out — that’s important, isn’t it? So does that mean it’s supposed to be okay […]
“If you like your health insurance, yada yada yada” The White House on Monday outlined broad new rules designed to prevent employers from dropping health insurance benefits for their workers or shifting huge new costs onto them. The regulations empower the administration to revoke the so-called grandfather status of businesses that shift “significant” new burdens […]
Just imagine for a moment, if you will, that Bob Etheridge (D-NC2) was a Republican. The media coverage would not be quite so flattering. Editorials would be written about how bad this incident was. They would demand a criminal investigation, and, perhaps, well, probably, demand he resign. Instead, we get The video was harsh. There […]
Okay, NYT‘s got what’s apparently a big deal, “U.S. Identifies Vast Riches of Minerals in Afghanistan.” I’m just now checking Memeorandum, and boy folks are excited. The Times‘ story is sensational. The mineral find is estimated at $1 trillion, and “Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the […]
Our government-dominated healthcare future is already on display in Belgium, where liberalism has triumphed to the extent that many Belgian nurses freely admit to killing the patients in their charge: A high proportion of deaths classed as euthanasia in Belgium involved patients who did not ask for their lives to be ended, a study found. […]
You can’t always learn what malignant objectives leftists are pursuing by listening to what they accuse the resistance of. Sometimes you have to stoop to reading their most execrable publications — like MSNBC’s website, which recently proclaimed in flagrant opposition to all evidence that fathers are not needed, or Newsweek, which asks us to believe […]
As many of you are no doubt aware, Democratic Congressman Bob Etheridge is in the news for assaulting a student who asked him a question. Here’s the video of the incident that’s turning up all over the place. Etheridge has already issued an apology for his odd and violent behavior. I have seen the video […]
Get this. BP (British Petroleum) has bought search terms related to the gulf oil spill on Google, Yahoo, and Bing. So if you are googling “Gulf oil disaster” or “oil spill,” you will get an ad at the top of the results that directs you to a BP site that provides information on BP’s clean […]
There is an update to the story about the miles of boom that the feds failed to use to protect our coast after the oil spill. Jake Tapper of ABC news (one of the few journalists out there with true journalistic integrity), followed up on the story. First he actually asked Coast Guard Adm. Thad […]
This is my first vlog (that’s video blog for the uninitiated) using my new HD camera. I see I have to fix my lighting problem in the room I was using to record it in, but anyways… it was my first stab at it, so give me a break will ya? This episode I look […]
“You gotta try and save them. It’s pretty simple.” My dearest friend tweeted those words, “the poetry of humanity”, in response to an article link. The article, from The Independent, is about an 84 year old man, Don Ritchie, who has stopped an estimated 160 suicides at a cliff in Australia. The poetry of humanity […]
When someone says “journalist” do you have a picture of a fedora-sporting, cigar chomping, agitator with jaded mien and independent mind, a man stubbornly outside the political establishment looking in and eyeing it all with suspicion? Do you get a flash of a writer that stands in opposition to entrenched powers, one looking out for […]
For those of you that have come to the blog often, there is a constant theme: unions are antithetical to good government. We’ve been saying this here for years, of course, but over this campaign season I think that meme is beginning to gain real traction because stories echoing this sentiment are everywhere these days.
