Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

It all started with a picture: …found over at Moe Lane’s place, and VodkaPundit’s. A little bit of cropping: And this link to a site that lets you make your own automotivators… …and viola! And then I invited people to make their own and send them (or a link to them) to me, and blammo. […]
My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up! Enjoy FREE audio and webcam highlights from the week in conservative talk radio: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and more. Here’s what came in after my deadline: Hugh Hewitt played the now-infamous “wearing her sister’s dentures” clip from the Blair House health care summit for […]
It’s a good thing the Washington Post is there to tell us these kinds of things on a Saturday when most people are not watching: Senators to propose abandoning cape-and-trade Three key senators are engaged in a radical behind-the-scenes overhaul of climate legislation, preparing to jettison the broad “cap-and-trade” approach that has defined the legislative […]
Is the vast maze of U.S. law and regulation, and the intricately interwoven web of bureaucratic and departmental turf, and the insidiously spreading take-to-give addiction of our elected leaders an “imminent” threat to American liberty? Most of us say yes. The next question is: do enough of us think that? Or too many of us? […]
The American Spectator‘s Florida-based correspondent Larry Thornberry: TAMPA — “Moderate” Florida governor Charlie Crist’s Senate campaign is circling the drain. And it’s mostly his own fault. Crist, a formerly conservative politician who “grew in office” after becoming governor in 2007, went through a 50-point lead over conservative former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio faster than […]
It’s an eerie thing watching the amateur video of Dawn Brancheau’s last few minutes alive (available here). And see the New York Times, “Video Shows SeaWorld Trainer With Orca Moments Before Her Death“: A local news station in Florida has obtained video shot by a tourist from New Hampshire at SeaWorld in Orlando on Wednesday […]
Image courtesy of iowntheworld.com Bill Maher is better than you. Or, so he claims, once again, during an appearance on Larry King. “But what the Democrats never understand is that Americans don’t really care what position you take, just stick with one,” Maher said. “Just be strong. They’re not bright enough to really understand the […]
Freedom Works President Matt Kibbe talks the Tea Party, the power of the people and why he’s so optimistic about the future. We also talk about how technology has empowered the people and why that’s a good thing. People mentioned in this show include Dick Armey, Matt Lewis, Ryan Hecker, the Dallas Tea Party, Ludwig […]
Chelsea Schilling at WorldNetDaily: One year ago this week, tens of thousands of patriots held “tea parties” in 40 cities in protest of government expansion, bailouts and the stimulus package, launching a nationwide movement — and now those citizens are regrouping and heading back to the streets to “recharge the movement” Saturday. Feb. 27 marks […]
Yesterday, my esteemed co-blogger John Hawkins wrote a post stating that he agrees with John McCain about regulating nutritional supplements. They’re both wrong. First, it’s important to examine how effective the FDA is in protecting the people when it comes to regulating drugs. Not very. Deaths from prescription drugs are “soaring“. Check out this recall […]
On February 24, Moe Lane posted a short piece alerting one and all to the fact that one of the Republican candidates for Washington State’s 3rd Congressional District is a favorite of the hard-core lefties in the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) — one of Obama’s favorite Big Labors cohorts. Mr. Lane, though, was sure […]
Time to spread a little jelly on the global warming hoax. If even the establishment libs at Roto-Reuters admit that it hasn’t been getting any warmer despite the supposed ongoing crisis, you know the whole swindle is toast. Climate scientists must do more to work out how exceptionally cold winters or a dip in world […]
Unless you’re a nut, like the people at PETA, people come before animals. And when we’re talking about an ORCA that has turned into a serial killer, it needs to be put down or at least released in the wild: A SeaWorld Orlando animal trainer died Wednesday from “multiple traumatic injuries and drowning” after a […]
In more rational times, Harry Reid’s egregious lie about reconciliation would end his political career. What lie, you ask? Actually, come to think of it, you’re probably thinking something more along the lines of, “Which lie?” This lie: In case you don’t want to watch the video, it’s a cranky Harry Reid, at the health […]
Americans for Prosperity has this hilarious slice of lefty disconnect that is just so typical of how folks on the left really just don’t have a grasp on rarity. Just outside of Blair House, across the street from the White House at the corner of 17th St & Pennsylvania Ave., we see young lady from […]
It’s just plain odd, but funny and telling all at the same time. Apparently the Brits are going to have their own tea party to protest their own plight of over taxation. Accordingly, Member of the European Parliament Daniel Hannan is sponsoring a Brighton Tea Party to be held on February 27. Hannan thinks that […]
(I missed getting up last week’s “This week in quotes because of CPAC, so here’s a couple of week’s worth). So if (Obama and Biden are) going to take credit for (Iraq), fair enough, for what they’ve done while they’re there, but it ought to go with a healthy dose of “Thank you, George Bush” […]
From Airstrip One, yet another indication as to why the Dems are encountering so much resistance in their attempt to impose socialized medicine: Up to 1,200 people lost their lives needlessly because Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust put government targets and cost-cutting ahead of patient care. But none of the doctors, nurses and managers who failed them […]
Collapsing Science Today: Reuters is still pushing the climate alarmist meme The decade 2000-2009 was the hottest since 1850 as a result of warming through the 1980s and 1990s which has since peaked, says the World Meteorological Organisation. Well, you see, in reality Four of the top 10 are now from the 1930s: 1934, 1931, […]
Did you hear about this one Thursday? While you were distracted by the health bloviations, Andy McCarthy found out what the Democrats tried to slip into an intelligence bill The Obama Democrats have outdone themselves. While the country and the Congress have their eyes on today’s dog-and-pony show on socialized medicine, House Democrats last night […]
Remember HillBuzz last month, describing Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, et al.? Honestly, we thought the extent of the attacks would be more of the same thing these people usually do, which is to say bad things about this site, to fill our voicemails up with nasty messages, to send more hatemail to our email telling […]
I don’t think the summit turned out quite the way Pres. Obama thought it would, and this is the reason why. Let me try something out on you: This health-care summit was a bad idea for the Democrats for this reason: They have long benefited from a perception — a perception greatly abetted by the […]
Remember when Obama and the left would make our relations with the world all rainbows and unicorn poots? Well, how’s that working out? Washington refused to endorse British claims to sovereignty over the Falkland Islands yesterday as the diplomatic row over oil drilling in the South Atlantic intensified in London, Buenos Aires and at the […]
From Andrew Breitbart, “Max Blumenthal, You’re Being Booger-Boarded“: Max Blumenthal has an amazing thesis: All conservatives and Republicans are beneath contempt. He also has an amazing line of work. He is underwritten by various media organs to prove his thesis …. Max gallivanted around CPAC looking for prey. He was treated with respect as he […]
I’ve been watching and/or listening to the health care summit today and it became fairly obvious from the opening bell that there wasn’t going to be much of anything worthwhile or substantive accomplished – not that I’m surprised. 5 hours into it, it has been mostly the exchange of talking points. Right now I’m forced […]
At the Los Angeles Times, “Students Walk Out of UC San Diego Teach-In.” The first thing I noticed is the tears streaming down the young woman’s face. What’s causing her so much pain? It’s hard to see at the screencap, so look closely at the original image. At issue was an off-campus party thrown by […]
We don’t need to wait until Hopey Change plays out to learn what happens when you put left-wing radicals and the union thugs who finance them in charge of a country. Greece is on the same road, but a few years further along. The Ministry of Truth reports on the street clashes accompanying the second […]
Two weeks ago the U.S. Senate passed new rules that would require new spending to be offset somewhere else in the budget, the so-called paygo rule. They did this because Democrats and Obama got tired of being called big spending socialists and wanted the veneer of fiscal responsibility with which to cloak themselves. It lasted […]
Estimates of voter participation proved that the February primary didn’t garner much interest. With less than 30 percent of registered voters turning out to nominate those that will run in November, moving the primary to February was obviously a bad move. Of course, this year’s primary was moved up to February in a 2007 bill […]
One of the great ironies of heavily over-regulated, overlawyered, and over-nannied society is that the makers of dietary supplements are allowed to make wild, completely unsupportable claims about their products while the government sits around with their thumbs up their behinds. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that people selling Yohimbe and […]
