Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

When it comes to misconduct by elected and party officials, we consistently see the difference. On the Right, we demand that Republicans resign and go away. Skedaddle. Give up their public sector position. On the Left? When was the last time you heard of them demanding that a Democrat just go away? Very rarely. And […]
Recently the Washington Post announced that they were putting their weekly liberal opinion magazine Newsweek up for sale after recording horrific losses. And about the same time, CNN and CBS announced that they were in talks to consolidate news operations. What ties these two stories together? All three outfits fell victim to The News They Kept To Themselves
So, not only did the Democrats in Congress cheer, applaud and give standing ovations to a foreign leader disparaging America and American citizens from OUR House floor, but now the people they’ve put in charge as law enforcers don’t seem to understand the words ‘law’ nor ‘enforce‘. Or, they just think it doesn’t count if […]
In an interesting development the House Armed Services Committee unanimously approved of legislation that would block Gitmo, Illinois from coming to fruition. In fact, they’ve blocked any Gitmo terrorist from being transferred anywhere into the interior of the USA. This is a blow to Obama’s desires to shut Gitmo down and to bring terrorists to […]
A great laugh. Andrew Klavan knocks it out of the park, or, umm, over the border: And listen to John Lennon’s “Imagine” as well. Not something I’d normally post, but given the circumstances, peacenik lefty trolls might enjoy it: “Imagine all the people … Sharing all the world…” Cross-posted from American Power.
The Dalai Lama has come to the world’s financial capital to enlighten capitalists with the sanctimonious moonbattery he peddles so effectively. The Dalai Lama on Thursday declared that he is still a Marxist in spirit who condemns capitalism as a system whose main goal is “how to make profit.” Profits are made by creating wealth. […]
Of the many imperative reasons to secure the Mexican border, one of the most pressing is so as to keep out the arrogant pipsqueak Felipe Calderon. But you have to hand it to him: he knows how to get applause out of our Democrat rulers. Dem Congresscritters gave him a standing ovation when he denounced […]
Just in, from Tommy Christopher, “Washington Times Pulls Dale ‘N-Word Sign’ Robertson’s Tea Party Column.” And, just a few minutes earlier, from Tabitha Hale at Red State, “Dear Washington Times: Seriously?“: The Washington Times has managed to give credibility to this delusional racist who claims to be the founder of the Tea Party. As Tommy […]
Healthy at 100: The Scientifically Proven Secrets of the World’s Healthiest and Longest-Lived People is a book with an intriguing premise: It looks at the societies on earth where people tend to have the longest, healthiest lives and tries to figure out what they’re doing right. In a time where we’re constantly hearing conflicting advice […]

Two stories from this week shows how out of control our fetid schools have become. In New York a young boy is suspended because he dared to carry his Catholic rosary beads in school and in Virginia a principal refused to allow a mother to take her own child out of school to go to […]
Americans are already paying for the lack of fiscal restraint exercised by their own elected leaders, but the proposed bailout of Greece would have them paying for the financial foibles of another country’s government as well. Since the proposed bailout would effectively be paying off Greek loans to German, Swiss, French and other European banks, […]
The climate alarmists have been yammering on about globull warming killing us all as it raises the oceans – a notion that Al Gore must disagree with, considering his purchase of a McMansion right near the Pacific – even though sea level rise has being going on since the end of the last Ice Age. […]
Rand Paul has gotten in a little trouble because he made a rookie mistake for a politician: he tried to have a nuanced philosophical debate on an issue that’s easy to demagogue: the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The position he was ambiguously defending was that people should have a right to do as they wish […]
Nice work, SEIU. Service Employee International Union members descended upon the home of a banker to protest the banker’s work. The banker wasn’t home but his teenage son was and he was home alone and the 14 bus loads of union thugs scared the heck out of the poor kid. This was no political protest, […]
Why, yes, the supporters of illegal immigrants are now apparently using Dora The Explorer to prop up their case in an attempt to turn the issue into only based completely on feelings, rather than common sense, logic, thought, and that pesky law stuff. In other words, they are trying to make us all 6 six […]
At some point, some high-profile Arizona pol really should call the bluff of sanctuary cities by offering to release captured illegals into their custody in lieu of deporting them. If Gavin Newsom and Mike Bloomberg and Antonio Villaraigosa are all so hot to welcome the “undocumented,” fantastic: Arizona’s got an endless supply and will be […]
Unprecedented, indeed. But, not surprising, given that our own President has done nothing but the same. I’m wondering if Calderon at least read the Arizona bill first, before demonizing an American state. That would actually be unprecedented, amongst our alleged leaders, at least. President Obama, for once, forewent bowing. Not to worry, though! The Democrats […]
It took one whole day for the left to go after Rand Paul. They see these numbers and they want to Terminate Him (politically of course). I figured that Rand Paul would be attacked and that he would be an easier target than Trey Grayson. Dan Riehl says: Mind you, this is only the opening […]
My motivation on this issue, first, is to pushback against the radical left’s “racist” Rand Paul meme. I do, second, appreciate the free speech claims that underlie the libertarian argument. And no one is talking about going back to pre-1964 American politics (despite what the nihilists at Firedoglake and elsewhere would have). Besides, Megyn Kelly […]
Freedom. Freedom of expression even when it makes someone else uncomfortable, is part of being American. That’s why, when someone burns the flag, I blanch a bit, but I grimace and take it. The God of our Judeo-Christian culture says in Deuteronomy 30:19: “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between […]
It’s a long video, but compelling — and the very best segment is near the end, where Dr. Rand Paul states one more time, as unequivocally as can be, that he abhors and rejects government-sponsored “institutional” racism, but that for leftists the “totality” of his views are irrelevant to the debate they want to have. […]
As we learned when the tech bubble burst, Silicon Valley is built largely on BS. So why shouldn’t it be powered by BS, in the name of enviromoonbat BS? Researchers at Hewlett Packard Co.’s HP Labs presented a paper (download PDF) on using cow manure from dairy farms and cattle feedlots and other “digested farm […]
As a “community organizer,” B. Hussein Obama trained other left-wing agitators. Presumably his lessons included tactics like this, as reported by Nina Easton: Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is […]
On the day after his historic primary win, National Public Radio rabidly went after Rand Paul, newly minted GOP nominee for Kentucky Senator, trying to make him out to be a KKK sympathizer or perhaps a racist that would have agreed to keep Jim Crow alive and well in 1964. This rabid, left-wing attack is […]
Here is a story about a Wisconsin bar that recently burned a paper mache of Obama. The secret service is investigating. Absolutely terrible. But it’s interesting that the reporter acts as if this has never been done before. And I totally disagree with one of the people he interviewed that it has anything to do […]
Ok, somebody had to say it and I guess I’m going to be the guy. Everyone’s asking about the Jar Jar Blinks level creative disaster that the Olympic mascots have turned out to be: Remember back a few months when the British press branded our Olympics the Worst Games Ever, before the first weekend had […]
Well, so far, the ending looks to be funny as heck A sit-in at Senator John McCain’s Tucson office Monday led to a trip to jail for four people, three of them illegal immigrants, and could now mean that they will be kicked out of the country. “We’re dedicated,” said Yahaira Carrillo, who came to […]
As a Christian, I find it extremely annoying when people make fun of my religion. Yet, when the people at the New York Times or Comedy Central show an image that offends my religious sensibilities, I don’t cut their heads off as an example to others. I also don’t threaten to murder people over cartoons […]
So, after taking over Congress in 2007 and saying “you think you Republicans know how to spend? Bah! You’ve only learned to max out a few starter credit cards with low ceilings. We’ll show you pikers how max out the platinum cards and purchase a $500k house while making $50k a year”, now Democrats are […]
