The Swiss are wise.

At least, as long as you don’t read too far past the first few paragraphs of this story, they’re wise. GENEVA — The result was emphatic: Swiss voters don’t think abused animals need to have their own lawyers. It’s a proposal that would never even come near a referendum in other countries… Interjection: depends on […]

Unions Support This Detroit Socialist

The left is constantly attempting to wave its hand dismissively at our claims that they are socialists and communists. They claim they are true blue Americans and we are lying about them. Unions are one of the biggest perpetrators of this misinformation. Well, it appears that in Detroit unions came out in support of a […]

American Al Qaeda, Adam Gadahn, Captured in Pakistan – UPDATED!!

UPDATE: Via Bloomberg, “FBI Says U.S. Hasn’t Confirmed Arrest of Adam Gadahn, and at CBS News, “U.S.-Born al Qaeda Arrest News Incorrect: Confusion Over Militant’s Identity Sparked Reports of Gadahn Arrest; Some Media Say It is Another U.S.-Born Terrorist.” *********** A tweet from Adam Housley of Fox News: This is flaming-skull material at AOSHQ, “Report: […]

Associated Press Tries to Tie Jim DeMint to the Pentagon Shooter

No, really. Not only are members of the media trying to irresponsibly and erroneously tie Joseph Patrick Bedell, a registered Democrat, a Troofer and a total loon, to the “right-wing” in general, but they are now upping the defamation by attempting to libelously imply that the words of Jim DeMint “fed the rage.” Jim. DeMint. […]

Whatever Would I Do Without Liberal Feminist Men to Save Me?

Apparently, that whole lame idea that Conservative women suffer from “Stockholm Syndrome” isn’t limited to the bitterly nonsensical Janeane Garofalo. Liberal men are hopping on that bandwagon now as well! Assuming that women are too dumb and hood-winked to comprehend things on their own isn’t offensive and sexist in the slightest now, is it? Not […]

When The Shoe Is Off The Other Foot

From Powerline: One of the key arguments of Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign was that he would improve America’s image around the world. This idea was based on the false assumption that anti-Americanism was due to factors peculiar to the Bush administration, as opposed to the basic realities of America’s role in the world and the […]

Deutschland Deja Vu: The Baader Meinhof Complex

Watching The Baader Meinhof Complex’s titular Teutonic terrorist gang in action on the small screen, I was struck by déjà vu of it all. A small but growing band of radicals with a penchant for street theater, wishing to smash capitalism and destroy the system from within, led by a fanatical, brawling leader, with at least one articulate well-bred intellectual within the inner circle. Starting off by blowing up small, bourgeois shops. Eventually hooking up with sympathetic allies in the Middle East. Then killing American soldiers. And when finally cornered, going out in a Gotterdammerung of mass suicide rather than face punishment from their captors. That’s never happened in Germany before

The Moral Equivalent Of The War On The Na’vi

At a recent pre-Oscar fundraiser, James Cameron goes back to the future, and regurgitates a meme that’s about as old as the original Titanic herself. As John Nolte of Big Hollywood writes, “James Cameron Declares Thoroughly Debunked Global Warming as Severe a Threat as WWII”

Illinois Dangerous ‘Presumed Consent’ Organ Donor Bill

Illinois State Senator Dale Risinger (R, Peoria) has offered a bill in Springfield that drives our society further along the path of making parts of the human body a commodity, undercutting the sacred status of human life. SB 3613, the Presumed Donor bill, amends the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act to define all Illinois patients as […]

Federal Worker Pay Outpaces Private Sector

The productive sector of the economy is having to shoulder quite the burden when it comes to paying the salaries for their “public sector” cohorts, who USA Today finds are excessively compensated: Federal employees earn higher average salaries than private-sector workers in more than eight out of 10 occupations, a USA TODAY analysis of federal […]

What?

Writing at Reason, the outstandingly named economist Veronique de Rugy included this sentence in a column about the Value Added Tax, and why it won’t work: Take President Obama’s first budget, released last year. In it, he assumed that most of the $600 billion coming from proposed cap-and-trade fees would be allocated to deficit reduction. […]

The House Vote on the Senate Healthcare Bill Is the Final Vote; Obama Will Sign It Into Law

Americans need to understand the devastating significance of the House vote on the Senate health care bill set for March 18th. The Democrats have–by design–created the perfect storm to take over the US healthcare system, while providing an ideal distraction–reconciliation. First, let’s examine exactly how we got here. In late December, while Americans were arguing […]

Obama Use Weekly Radio Address To Push Economic And Jobs Recovery

Just kidding. He yammered on about health care yet again President Obama pressed Congress on Saturday to “finish its work” on health care, dismissing criticism from Republicans as he sought to build a case that the legislation would be friendly to families and small businesses. As the administration works to win over skeptical Democrats in […]

Dear Harry Reid: Is Your Ivory Tower Padded?

If Harry Reid’s Ivory Tower isn’t padded, it should be, because he is cuckoo pants. I submit as exhibit A: Only 36,000 jobs lost, which is UP from last month. What a super awesome day! Who wants evil private sector jobs anyway, right Harry? The rhetoric of the Democrat’s has moved from incomprehensible to absolutely […]

Is Google Evil? Part II: Search Neutrality

Google skates the edge. Persistently, relentlessly invading our lives. We want Google. We need Google. Then, they go and do something like Buzz and we feel violated. They cow-tow to the Chinese government and allow censorship to the Chinese people. Or strangely, no matter how you enter “Islam” into Google, you won’t get negative word […]

Icing on the Fakes

Global warming has struck again: Thirty to 40 ships — including several passenger ships — were stuck Thursday in ice off the coast of Sweden, said a spokesman for the Maritime Search and Rescue Center in Gothenburg, Sweden. … The center identified one of the passenger ships as the Amorella, with 753 passengers and 190 […]

Follow the Money to the Global Warming Hog Trough

You know the wheels are coming off the global warming swindle when you can get material like this from Australia’s public ABC: For all the smears of big money funding the “deniers”, the numbers reveal that the sceptics are actually the true grassroots campaigners, while Greenpeace defends Wall St. … Greenpeace has searched for funding […]

And Not Once Did the New York Times Mention the Word Islam!

Nicholas Kristof rightly celebrates a new book highlighting the evils of the forced marriages of pre-teen girls to older men. Kristof is also right to reveal the sordid truths about the practice of marrying off pre-teen girls and the abuse they invariably seem to suffer in the arrangement. But one word was conspicuously missing from […]

Health care bill update

A few points about the status of health care reform. First, if the votes were there for passage in the House, the bill would now be law. That should tell you all you need to know about the present status of the bill. The votes aren’t there. The bottom line, however, is if the House […]

Uh Oh. ClimateGate II?

The Washington Times let’s us in on the story Undaunted by a rash of scandals over the science underpinning climate change, top climate researchers are plotting to respond with what one scientist involved said needs to be “an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach” to gut the credibility of skeptics. Apparently, the science can’t stand on its […]
