Again, I have to show my appreciation for the Barack Obama. About a year ago, I vividly recall watching Glenn Beck on CNN and thinking, “This guy should be bigger than Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. It’s a shame he’s stuck at CNN. Beck, tonight’s keynote speaker, has been around for several years – but […]
On the question of who should be the Republican nominee for President in 2012, the following are the top candidates, in order: Ron Paul Mitt Romney Sarah Palin Tim Pawlenty Mike Pence Newt Gingrich Mike Huckabee Well, Ron Paul has managed to rally his supporters again, but it looks good for Mitt Romney. It’s interesting […]
Like just about all the speakers this weekend, John Bolton didn’t hold much back in his criticism of Barack Obama. A few notable words: On January 20, 2009, Barack Obama was not qualified to be President of the United States. Today, 13 months later, Barack Obama is still not qualified to be President of the […]
It may sound irreverent, but thank God for Andrew Breitbart. I mean it. For so long I’ve agonized over the single one great reason that has allowed liberals to deceive the American public, lying about themselves and about us: the liberal media, vile, vindictive, and until recently, largely unreigned. Just as Breibart says, the MSM […]
Lefty website Slate.com’s Mickey Kaus is another one of those left of center folks that are realizing that unions are killing Obama. Of course, I’d go one farther and say that unions are killing America, but Kaus is only worried about helping Obama. Regardless, he’s right that unions are a dangerous impediment. Kaus finds that […]
Via Insty and Moe Lane, if the unions can carry torches and pitchforks, can Tea Partiers start heating up the tar? Carrying pitchforks and torches a group of labor unions and health care groups marched down Church Street in Hartford Tuesday night to let the state’s largest business lobby know that they want health care […]
The Washington Post has an obituary, “Alexander Haig, Former Secretary of State, Dies at 85” (via Memorandum). I think Haig was a fine man, but I doubt he could ever live down the ridicule from his statment in 1981, following the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, that “As of now, I am in control […]
Gee, I guess I have a new hobby! It’s called “Let’s Mock the ‘Racist’ Victimologists”! Whoopee!! Racism!! Come out, come out, wherever you are! Okay, let’s put on our “racism radar” and talk some more about “racist” films. How about “Falling Down“? It’s not like you wouldn’t come across a couple of vatos like this, […]
In case I haven’t mentioned this a hundred times before, Rick Santorum is my favorite senator. From the war on terrorism – his more recent focus – to values to the cultural plagues of our society, I really believe he has full depth of understanding; even more significant is that he’s a politician who puts […]
Ann Coulter got a raucous welcome at CPAC for her short speech and Q&A session. Here are some of the lines that stuck with me. — * “Why couldn’t Barack Obama have picked someone respectable for his vice-president like John Kerry?” — Coulter * “The upside of cap and trade is that if it passes […]
Crystal Gale Mangum, progressive heroine and the accuser in the infamous Duke Lacrosse Rape Case, is in the news once again: Durham police arrested Mangum for attempted murder, arson, and identity theft after responding to a domestic disturbance call: Durham police arrested Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Gale Mangum, 33, late Wednesday after she allegedly assaulted […]
My new Talk Radio Watch column is now up at WND. Enjoy FREE audio and webcam highlights from this week in conservative talk radio: Rush, Beck, Levin and many more — including the many endorsements J.D. Hayworth is getting from his fellow broadcasters. Here’s what came in after deadline: USA Weekend (whatever that is) offers […]
I was going to use the CNN article I ran across last night, based on the Friday night doc dump, but, hey, let’s go with the Washington Post one linked through Memeorandum, since there are plenty of links to lefties in their typical unhinged modes (there is also a NY Times and NPR article cited) […]
I promised to update a bit on “The Hurt Locker.” I’ve posted a couple of times on the movie, although I did not write a review. I need to see it again to be able to write something fresh. I can tell you though, it’s a great flick, and this was nowhere near my reaction: […]
Last month, conservative college Liberty University announced that it would withdraw its sponsorship of CPAC 2010 because GOProud, a pro-gay Republican offshoot from the Log Cabin Republicans, was also allowed to co-sponsor the event: Liberty University chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., and Liberty Law School dean Mat Staver had penned a letter to CPAC organizer David […]
Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, who has been a CPAC regular but whose popularity has skyrocketed since Obama’s has declined, was kind enough to visit the blogger’s lounge this afternoon to take questions. Unsurpringly, the only thing anyone seemed interested in asking today was about whether the Congressman would be running for another office. President in […]
The lovely Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is star quality on every level, minus the diva attitude. Walking onto stage to the tune of “She’s a Lady,” (take that, cranky Arlen Specter), Bachmann was quick to remind the audience that it was her state that put up the “Miss Me Yet?” billboard that quickly became a hit […]
A couple of Utah state legislators want to give self-governance a try: We don’t believe that 535 members of Congress and the president can educate our children, provide health care, pave our roads and protect our environment as well as the nation’s 8,000 state legislators and tens of thousands of local officials. So please, let […]
You’ve probably heard already, but this year’s CPAC 2010 (Conservative Political Action Conference) is the largest, most highly attended in its history. It seems apparent that the Obama Administration has succeeded in doing what we’ve actually been trying to do for years: rallying and activating freedom-loving Americans together en masse. Thank you, Mr. President. As […]
In Democrat political consulting circles Pat Caddell is a big name. One-time adviser to President Jimmy Carter and longtime political strategist for the left, Caddell isn’t someone you throw off a campaign easily. But the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) doesn’t care about past success. It only cares about its power. After being thrown off […]
The indispensible Jake Tapper of ABC News is reporting that the Obama Administration is about to rename the Iraq war from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” to “Operation New Dawn.” Gates writes that by changing the name at the same time as the change of mission — the scheduled withdrawal of U.S. combat troops — the US […]
Joseph Stack flew an airplane into an office building, killing himself and at least one other person, because of his years-old anger and frustration with the government, or so he wrote. So is it terrorism? Well, that depends. The act itself isn’t enough to make it terrorism. Otherwise, every violent act could be tagged that […]
Remember the Telescreens in Nineteen Eighty-Four? They were like TV sets, except they worked both ways: the government could see you through them, right in your own home, to make sure you weren’t engaging in any political incorrectness. Once again, Orwell has served not at as a warning, but as an inspiration to the folks […]
The Environmental (mental being the operative word) Left, in their embracing of the hoax commonly known as Global Warming â„¢, have irrefutably become what they always sneer at: Religious. Or, as they prefer to call it “magical belief systems”. Because, if the following isn’t magic, then I don’t know what is. Gateway Pundit reminds us […]
See video under the fold.
A good, solid B+? That’s not what his subjects say. The libs at CBS News gave the public a chance to grade the community activist they helped install in office. The results should reassure Jimmy Carter that he won’t be known as our worst president for much longer. A plurality is giving The Anointed One […]
Poor babies. They have truly lost their way. They say they are interested in the science, but, alas, they are too wrapped up in their failed notion that mankind is mostly or solely the cause of the warming trend that started at the end of the Little Ice Age, and are unable to come to […]
Jake Tapper has an exclusive regarding the renaming of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which, perhaps, should be renamed “Operation Bush Was Right” ABC News has learned that the Obama administration has decided to give the war in Iraq — currently known as Operation Iraqi Freedom — a new name. The new name: “Operation New Dawn.” In […]
Via John Hawkins and Linkiest (and also Prairie Pundit), I just found this video, “Assault Breacher Vehicle”: This is something else! For more information, see the Los Angeles Times, “Marine Assault Vehicles Key to Afghan Strategy.” Technical details at Jane’s Defense Weekly: For the ABV role, the turret of the M1A1 Abrams MBT has been […]
Rasmussen: Only 21% Say U.S. Government Has Consent of the Governed: The founding document of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, states that governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Today, however, just 21% of voters nationwide believe that the federal government enjoys the consent of the governed. A new […]
