Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

I am sympathetic to police, FBI, and law enforcement in general. Moreover, I think our system is geared too heavily towards protecting the guilty and shielding the innocent. That being said, I think Americans should be concerned about the government using technology to spy on people who haven’t necessarily done anything wrong. That’s one of […]
For those of you who don’t know, Debra Medina is a candidate for Texas Governor, and has had the support of many in the Tea Party movement. I just heard Debra Medina on the Glenn Beck radio show, and she really messed up badly. Glenn Beck said that people had accused her of being a […]
With the help of the statist media, Big Government is making progress in its drive to corrode our culture to the point that dependence on coercively funded handouts is both socially acceptable and ubiquitous: A decade ago, New York City officials were so reluctant to give out food stamps, they made people register one day […]
There’s a price to be paid for painting yourself into a corner by promoting a hoax. The New York Slimes is paying it with the last tattered remnants of its credibility in a hilarious attempt to convince us that global warming caused mountains of snow to bury large parts of the country. Most climate scientists […]
Wonder how this would play nationally: “These ballot propositions are Texas Republicans’ chance to be heard on issues facing our state,” said Republican Party of Texas Chairman Cathie Adams. “All five of the propositions came up from the grassroots through the SREC to address serious concerns. Voters should study the questions and then use their […]
If it’s anti-west, anti-British, Anti-American, Anti-Israeli… well, be sure that Amnesty International supports it. Here’s another bit of proof for that bromide with AmNasty International’s suspension of human rights specialist Gita Sahgal. Why was Sahgal removed from her AI position? Because she criticized AI for supporting Moazzam Begg, Britain’s biggest supporter of al Qaeda, the […]
Hard to believe, eh? What could possibly make the American people so upset and angry in the era of Hopey Changey? Two-thirds of Americans are “dissatisfied” or downright “angry” about the way the federal government is working, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. On average, the public estimates that 53 cents of every […]
Here is yet another deciphering of the magic of Sarah Palin. This time it’s by Marc Ambinder at The Atlantic, who at least doesn’t try to personally smear her as so many others do. Liberals and media elites keep writing and writing about her, trying to understand her appeal. They are amusing to read because […]
Well, CNBC’s Media and Technology Editor, Dennis Kneale, is only the latest to jump my little “Unions are Antithetical to Good Government” bandwagon. Kneale slams Obama’s “unholy alliance” with Big Labor and proclaims it a danger to the country. He couldn’t be more right. Here is the article: “Obama’s Unholy Union-With Unions” Here are a […]
That is what a leading French feminist is saying Elisabeth Badinter, a leading French feminist, has warned the green movement is threatening decades of improvements in gender equality by forcing women to give up their jobs and become earth mothers. Mrs Badinter claims a “holy reactionary alliance” of green politicians, breast-feeding militants, “back to nature” […]
Want to know why the American people have zero trust in the competence of politicians in DC? This certainly seems to sum it up in a nutshell: It’s a bipartisan jobs bill that would hand President Barack Obama a badly needed political victory and placate Republicans with tax cuts at the same time. But it […]
If you haven’t read Jonah Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning, I’d highly recommend it. Although it’s not as witty as Goldberg’s columns, it’s a well researched, incredibly important book that will change the way you view fascism, Nazism, and liberalism. You’ll get a […]
I’m doing the Jaz McKay show at 4:07 PM EST. You can listen here.
When you are asked what is the “worst car of all time,” what first runs through your head? The Le Car, the Corvair, maybe the Edsel? Cars that had horrible sales records, bad safety or engineering records or were just all around failures? Aren’t these the sort of cars that first runs through your head? […]
We all know the drill, right? Unions curry favor with compliant politicians, the unions then donate campaign cash to them hoping for political favors later down the line. Yes, that’s the drill… unless you are the Montgomery County, Maryland teachers union. See, in that case candidates are expected to pay the union for its favors, […]
Wanna know the next stop for the Big Government juggernaut? School vending machines. That’s right, now that Obama has taken control of the auto manufacturers next he wants to control what sort of vending machine your schools have. Right after that he’ll likely decide that he…. You know, right there I was going to try […]
After spending the first year of his presidency vilifying corporations as monstrous agents of evil that are sacrificing the American economy on the altar of their savage capitalist God just to spite the poor, Barack Obama seems to have changed his mind. Coincidentally, it happened right after stories started to appear about Wall Street getting […]
Video below the fold.
Barack Obama has invited Republicans to have a face-to-face about the health care bill on camera. We’re talking about a bill crafted from start to finish by Democrats, while Republicans were locked out of the process. The GOP has made it absolutely clear that the bill won’t garner a single Republican vote unless the Dems […]
These are actually funny! You can send these to anyone with an e-mail. Take a look. You know if Time Magazine doesn’t like it, it must be good. I thought I might take this opportunity to give you some inexpensive ideas for Valentines Day. There are two gifts that have been appreciated the most by […]
They’ve been warning us for years that we would face a global warming crisis if we didn’t change our capitalist ways. Now, as foreseen by the Goracle, the crisis as struck. Ground zero is Cambridge, Massachusetts, which has been forced by all the sweltering weather we’ve been having to declare a state of climate emergency: […]
As Obama et al. push card check by hook and by crook in their campaign to expand unionization, some of us may need a reminder as to why this country can’t afford it — just in case GM and Chrysler collapsing into Big Government’s arms after being bled dry by unions isn’t fresh enough in […]
Everybody makes decisions on a regular basis, so it may seem a bit odd to write a post about it. However, what you’ll find when you look around our society is that a lot of people are pretty bad at it. No wonder, because the first step to making a good decision is… 1) Know […]
AJ Strata makes this stunning find from The Guardian: The IPCC says its reports are policy relevant, but not policy prescriptive. Perhaps unknown to many people, the process is started and finished not by scientists but by political officials, who steer the way the information is presented in so-called summary for policymakers [SPM] chapters. Is […]
As each month of Jimmy Carter’s second term passes (it might actually be an insult to Jimmy Carter to make that comparison), the apparatus of state is losing its hold on the state run media. Much like we saw in the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the media is becoming more independent of the talking […]
There’s a lot of talk about who is and is not in charge of the Tea Party movement. Most of what passes for insight from the mainstream media is utterly bogus. They simply cannot comprehend the phenomenon or the motivations of those involved. I write about it for Pajamas today. Here’s a snippet: People who […]
Governor Palin currently leads most polls as the top choice of conservatives for the GOP nomination. Though the media and even fellow conservatives are counting her out, stranger things have happened. I mean, who for example believed Barack Obama could win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing?: : I hope Hillary Clinton is working on […]
In yet another mundane story – because, really, will most people be surprised by negative Generational Theft Act news? – we learn how things are going with wind farm jobs that used stimulus money Despite all the talk of green jobs, the overwhelming majority of stimulus money spent on wind power has gone to foreign […]
The QOTD for today actually comes to us from a NY Times editorial in 2005 which clearly states their understanding of the job of an opposition party: Mr. Bush has reacted by railing against Democrats for obstruction — as if Democrats are duty-bound to breathe life into his agenda and, even sillier, as if opposing […]
The Politico had a story about Big Labor penned by Jeanne Cummings, the reporter famed for going after Sarah Palin’s Party purchased wardrobe during the 2008 presidential campaign, that was an object lesson in Old Media bias. Her piece headlined “Labor helps kill its own top priority” is a great example of using language to […]
