Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

Again and again and again and again, etc and so on, President Obama has called for bipartisanship (which most of us know is just mule fritter dressing), yet, today, DanPfeiffer, the White House communication director, destroys that same (disingenuous) Obama meme while he himself calls hypocritically for bipartisanship, using the forum of the official White […]
Over the last few months most conservatives have quite naturally been distracted by Barack Obama’s frightening incompetence, his elephantine spending, and his zealous attempts to swallow as much of the private sector as the government beast can stuff down its gaping maw. But while the cat’s away, the mice will play. The little feet you […]
CHURCHVILLE, VA — My wife is complaining about our increased costs at the supermarket. I remind her that every pound of meat, milk, and butter we buy requires several pounds of corn to produce–and biofuel mandates have shoved the corn price up from about $ 2 per bushel to $3.60. Many hog producers, dairymen, and […]
Any mother worth her title knows that grapes are the number one choking hazard. At my kid’s pre-school, they actually make parents cut up grapes due to the risk. No warning on hotdogs, though. Until now: Nutritionists have long warned of the perils of hot dogs: fat, sodium and preservatives to name a few. Now, […]
CPAC organizer Lisa De Pasquale, John Hawkins, and Ali Akbar talk about CPAC. Straw polls, youth, where was Sarah Palin and Huckabee, the venue and much more.
Are Scott Brown voters betrayed with his vote for the Jobs Bill that he helped to get out of cloture yesterday? Dan Riehl says: When Scott Brown starts crafting national health care legislation, or sounding like the liberal lion of the Senate, get back to me. Until then, it’s Massachusetts. We’re still a long way […]
By now, most of you know about what happened with awesome VP Dick Cheney, but, from the Washington Post, a little recap Former vice president Richard B. Cheney was hospitalized Monday at George Washington University Hospital after suffering from chest pains, his office said. “His doctors are evaluating the situation and he is resting comfortably,” […]
Here is a video posted about Max Blumenthal.
Remember the Iraqi war? You don’t hear much about it because we succeeded, and the Democrats, who are in charge right now, nor the media want to recognize that since they declared it lost so many times. This is one soldier’s voice: (emphasis mine) I am not naive. I understand that there are individuals who […]
Jennifer Burns, the author of the best-selling late 2009 book on Ayn Rand’s remarkably contentious history with the American right stopped by the vast Silicon Graffiti production facilities last week to discuss her book and the research that went into it.
I’m doing the Jaz McKay show at 4:07 PM EST. You can listen here.
President Obama has a long history of saying one thing and sounding so reasonable and conciliatory while doing it while taking actions that completely contradict his words. Enter health care reform. The President wants to have a photo op with Republicans and an opportunity to lecture then about what bad people they are (you know, […]
If you thought the $30,000 power bills for Al Gore’s mansion were impressive, check out Rajendra Pachauri’s retreat and golf course: The area around it is dry because water is in short supply in this region of India; nearby Gurgaon and Delhi sometimes don’t have enough for drinking. But despite the allegedly melting Himalayan glaciers, […]
If Hopey Change means anything, it’s that Chicago-style politics have gone national. Let’s see if the whole country really wants to live with the sort of government that entails. Via The American Spectactor: “Whoever solicits or receives … any … thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in […]
If there are over 10,000 of the most dedicated grassroots activists for the conservative cause in one place, why would you miss it? That’s a rhetorical question. You wouldn’t miss it. CPAC was lit up with the energy not of old establishment types but the young, the restless and the politically active. You know those […]
Donald Douglas has an excellent take-down of the LA Time’s perspective on the Contract FROM America verses Newt Gingrich’s Contract For America back in 1994. Go read the whole thing. It is clear to me that Newt very badly wants to harness the energy of the Tea Party movement but be let off the hook […]
A group made up of some of the biggest names in contemporary conservatism got together a few days ago and crafted what they are calling the “Mount Vernon Statement,” a manifesto of sorts meant to give direction to today’s conservative movement. Put succinctly, it fails to fill the bill. Taken as a whole this statement […]
Collapsing Science Today: Yet again, a supposed peer reviewed report in a major journal, and used by the UN IPCC, has issues. Shocking! Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings. The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience, […]
It was just as much fun as I thought it would be. I got to meet a bunch of online friends that I hadn’t yet met in person, especially the RFCRadio guys and it was a blast! Let’s start with some pictures! The first pic is me and Thomas LaDuke at the RFCRadio booth. Next […]
No clearer difference can be seen in how the Old Media and its left-wing compatriots treat mass killers, terrorists and nutjobs than the way Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab and Joe Stack have been portrayed by the Old Media and the left. Abdulmutallab, the jihadi Christmas Bomber, was treated as an aberration unconnected with any larger group […]
Dictionary definition of Socialism a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. Obviously, in practice, it is a bit more complicated than that, however, not much, and the primary point […]
This year, I went to the biggest conservative event of 2010, CPAC, to help cover the event for the fine folks at PJTV. I was there with Steven Crowder, who did a great job as emcee for the event on Saturday. Also on board for PJTV were Bill Whittle and Dana Loesch: Of course, getting […]
Early on in the day Pamela Gellar’s “Jihad: The Political Third Rail” event was high on my list of priorities. It featured : “Steve Coughlin, Wafa Sultan, Allen West, Simon Deng, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, & Robert Spencer.” Unfortunately, I was pressed for time and the event was packed. Every seat was filled and there were maybe 50 […]
Over the course of the week, we had a number of big names come by bloggers’ row. Among others, they included Tim Pawlenty, Chuck Devore, Steve Poizner, Mike Pence, and Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart hung around to talk the most and he had a very good CPAC. He got into this confrontation with some liberal jackass. […]
Brooke Fox of Seattle’s MOVIN, 92.5 FM radio show “The Ladies Room” wants to know who would be worth risking jail just so you could punch them out. Such violence. Of course, the question is what would have happened if a conservative radio show host had made this Twitter post? On her Twitter feed on […]
If you read nothing else today, please read David Bellavia’s poignant piece on Iraq: Our Mission is Finally Accomplished… Anyone Care? It’s mostly directed at the doubters and naysayers, those who didn’t believe the US could and would win there, but it’s also an important read for those of us stateside who never gave up […]
Mark Tapscot echoes our current theme here on the blog by reporting that California is once again in a disastrous budget shortfall and one of the biggest reason that this is so is the undue power of the recalcitrant public employees unions. Tapscot says that California cannot get out of its mess because, “the unions […]
Is it just me, or is this whole “we’ll pass health care ‘reform’ through reconciliation” thing becoming a little like the “Danica Patrick’s going to NASCAR” story was just a few months ago? The “Danica to NASCAR” meme was making the rounds for well over a year before she actually did join a NASCAR team. […]
You know, while this is serious business, rebutting the left’s endless allegations of racism, I’ve been mostly mocking so far in my series on “racist movies.” But it’s beyond bothersome that “Black Hawk Down” is included and ranked at #27. And here’s the caption: Ridley Scott’s account of the 1993 “Battle of Mogadishu” drew heavy […]
Collapsing Science Today: Yes, you did read that headline correctly. And, yes, it was less than a month ago when Obama stood up in front of Congress and the American People and state uncatagorically that the economy and jobs were the top priorities for the government to focus on. A pledge that less time than […]
