In 2008, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) was smeared as a Klansman by his opponent. That didn’t stop Cohen for dusting off the smear this past week — along with namedropping Kristallnacht — against the Tea Partiers.
The New York Times apparently thinks they have a scoop by revealing that Barack Obama is *officially* black. You would think that was a shocking discovery, based on how it appears to be a note-worthy revelation to the New York Times. It is official: Barack Obama is the nation’s first black president. A White House […]
The temptation to look for scapegoats is a human failing, too. Those who hate the military gleefully seize on every crime committed by a soldier, sailor or Marine as evidence that war causes crime, as though it were unheard of for civilians to rape, murder or steal. Those who hate religion seize on crimes committed by the faithful as evidence that religion causes pedophilia, as though child abuse were the exclusive province of the Catholic church.
Never mind that civilians and atheists commit crimes too.
The Chicago Tribune has an editorial that shocks for the outrageousness that is the corruption and overcharging that unions have forced upon the convention business at Chicago’s McCormick Place. It is so bad, the costs are so outrageously higher in Chicago, that conventions are fleeing the city in droves (as we’ve discussed here several times). […]
Part of the fight against leftist totalitarianism, and the alliance of socialism and Islam, deals with the media’s disgraceful terror-enabling “objectivity.” Blazing Cat Fur’s got another piece up this morning on Denise Balkissoon, the ignorant Toronto Star “reporter” who didn’t know that the “money-changer” slur is the hate language of the Holocaust. Ms. Balkissoon also […]
My husband and I attended a protest outside tax payer funded Palestine House yesterday. This large building just outside Toronto is hosting an anti-Semitic speaker today, so we and about 100 others (including the Yidden on Wheels motorcycle club) showed up yesterday to express our disgust at this use of our extorted tax dollars. Among […]
This might explain why 68% of those under 30 voted for Obama over McCain: For millennials, work ethic not defining factor. Are twentysomethings really spoiled and lazy? Survey suggests it’s true Jared Rogalia, 25, a Hertz rental car manager-trainee in Alexandria, is as cranky as someone twice his age when he complains about his generation’s […]
The little dictator who rarely wears a tie (no, I’m not talking about Obama) says “Nope! Forget about it, chump!” Speaking at a factory inauguration on Saturday, Ahmadinejad said a message by President Barack Obama to mark the Iranian new year last month contained “three or four beautiful words” but nothing new of substance. We […]
The University of Washington held a “debate” over the constitutionality of the health care bill in which none of the participants argued it was at all unconstitutional. Explaining this farce, the university claimed they couldn’t find any law professors to argue the opposing view. Liberal blogs such as TalkingPointsMemo and Think Progress, the blog for […]
That is the odd conclusion of Andrew Sabl, writing at “The Reality-Based Community.” Reality-based. As in: I just watched “Chipmunks: The Squeakual” with my two younger boys. It features talking, singing, dancing, remote-controlled-helicopter flying chipmunks, which means it’s only based on reality. Andrew starts off with his dismay at the phrase “individual mandate.” The phrase […]
I just finished “Passion of the Christ.” From Luke 23:46, “‘And speaking in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit’. Having said this, he breathed His last breath.” And the image, from Wikipedia, “Cross-section diagram of the location of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, in relation to […]
From Byron York, “Obamacare Was Mainly Aimed at Redistributing Wealth” (via Memeorandum): It hasn’t attracted much notice, but recently some prominent advocates of Obamacare have spoken more frankly than ever before about why they supported a national health care makeover. It wasn’t just about making insurance more affordable. It wasn’t just about bending the cost […]
A few days ago Rep. Phil Hare told some of his constituents that he didn’t care about the U.S. Constitution and that he was going to help push through Congress Obama’s un-Constitutional take over of our healthcare anyway. Unfortunately for Hare he was being video taped as he said it. Today it has been revealed […]
Read it here. The video: Here’s the complete, extended, verbatim money quote, which I paraphrased in my last post: If this health care bill never existed, if I didn’t do anything about it, we’d actually be a trillion dollars worse off over the long term. But even with the saving we’re getting from health care, […]
Patriots really thought we had something with the Tea Party movement, producing crowds like this and this and this: But now the Empire of Moonbats has struck back with the Coffee Party. Here’s one that was so well attended, a DUmmie was too proud not to share pictures with the world. Look at the surging […]
Will ObamaCare destroy the medical profession, driving the capable away from the field and leaving us with a handful of foreign-trained Third-World immigrants given to car-bombing airports, as socialized medicine has done to Britain? Or will the State be turned back? At least some are showing signs of resistance: “I’m not turning anybody away — […]
Dennis Prager is fond of saying he’ll take clarity over agreement any day and that is a good phrase to keep in mind when you open your big mouth to join the debate. In keeping with the quest for intelligent dialog, here is a list of ten things that I think we should all stop […]
Let’s give a round of applause to the Obama administration for this one Travelers flying into the United States will be subject to selective screening based in part on whether they exhibit characteristics of suspected terrorists while travelers from more than a dozen flagged countries will no longer automatically be pulled aside, under new security […]
Some time ago the former Governor of Alaska asked “How’s that hopey, changey thing workin’ out for ya?” Now that it’s been a couple of months, someone at DailyKOS figured out hey, that sounds like it could be a valid point, we’d better put together some stuff to at least pretend to answer it. The […]
We already have Government Run Motors, Government Run Student Loans, Government Run Healthcare, so, say, why not go for Government Run Radio? We can call it Air Deadbeat 2 The U.S. Corporation for Public Broadcasting launched a $10.5 million project on Thursday to increase regional reporting, filling a growing gap due to cutbacks in the […]
Earlier this week, I got together with ambush interviewer extraordinaire, Jason Mattera: the author of Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation. What follows is the slightly edit transcript of my conversation with Jason. Enjoy! What do you say to the argument that the GOP really doesn’t have a big problem with younger […]
The next time you see a liberal and a conservative having a conversation, you’ll be able to get out your bingo card:
If you call that a ‘redistribution of income’ – well, so be it. I don’t call it that. I call it just being fair. — Joe Biden I’ve never seen anyone who is as amateurish in the conduct of his foreign relations as this president… It’s dumb and it’s what he’s done time and time […]
Relationships are difficult. I’m here to help. Here’s some words of wisdom to keep your relationship from turning dull and boring: 1. Keep the mystery alive—Too many people reveal too much too often. Why share where you’re going or what you’re doing or who you’re with. A little doubt keeps things spicy. 2. Call rarely—It’s […]
Rasmussen’s recent poll should concern Democrats–if they hadn’t already enacted the single most transformational piece of legislation ever knowing full well that the American people hated it. But they made that decision knowing full well that their futures hung in the balance. Or maybe they didn’t care about the future because they had some other […]
This video just boggles my mind. He doesn’t know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. “Where in the Constitution does it give you the authority to…” “I don’t know. I don’t know.” And then he pretends to be insulted when they call him a liar. Because he is. And then he […]
The truth was exposed during his excellent interview with Pam Stout, President of Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party. This is not an April Fools’ Day joke either. David Letterman had Pam Stout, the Sandpoint, Idaho Tea Party President on his show the other night. The result? A very fair and enlightening interview, showing the real face […]
On the campaign trail, now President Obama regularly excoriated lobbyists. He said he’d make the government “open and transparent” and said he’d make it hard for lobbyists to “curry favor” with his administration “based on how much they can spend on a fancy dinner.” Once elected, John Podesta, a member of his transition team, said […]
Some have wondered how Hollywood works. There is the romantic version where a writer of talent writes an outstanding, heartfelt script, a director of vision expounds upon that script and actors with intensity bring it to life. Like much about romance that romantic image of Hollywood is a myth. No, what Hollywood does when it […]
The beauty of capitalism is that it gives everyone an incentive to provide others with the goods and services they need. Socialism offers incentives too — but like everything on the left, they are depraved. From Airstrip One, which has already taken the plunge into the English version of ObamaCare: Patients’ groups expressed horror at […]
