Barack Obama’s first year in office was one long string of gaffes, foreign policy blunders, and domestic disasters strung together in a long, terrible line. Although it’s not possible to adequately catalogue every blunder in Obama’s first year in something shorter than a book, here are some of the many, many blaring lowlights that really […]
At risk of ticking you off, I’ve included some ads. There is commentary at the end. Scroll down if you can’t watch the videos. To the Democrats: To the Republicans: American Resurgence: This last one was made by a teenager. Nice production value, don’t you think? And, by the way, I’m in it. Massachusetts Miracle: […]
Sometimes I wonder whether all the Republicans, conservatives, and even Christians who are so quick to lambaste Pat Robertson for the negative sound bites the media is always flailing about actually even know anything about the man. In case you haven’t heard, Robertson referenced Haiti’s historical “pact with the devil” when discussing the country’s disaster […]
A profoundly distressed Andrew Sullivan: I can see no alternative scenario but a huge – staggeringly huge – victory for the FNC/RNC machine tomorrow. They crafted a strategy of total oppositionism to anything Obama proposed a year ago. Remember they gave him zero votes on even the stimulus in his first weeks. They saw health […]
There’s a very interesting but probably little noted piece at Fox News by Dr. C.L. Gray, who is, interestingly enough, the president of Physicians For Reform. His general premise is that while reform is needed in the medical field, what Congress is chasing is not at all the answer. And he uses Medicare as the […]
Right out of central casting: Pony-tailed hair, elbow pads, Birkenstocks and nubby socks, spectacles and a general dislike for people, especially, ironically, young people. Seems that there’s a reason: Nursing is what sociologists call “gender typed.” Mr. Gross said that “professors and a number of other fields are politically typed.” Journalism, art, fashion, social work […]
Here is one Mainstream Media Narrative: Tea Partiers (Baggers) are racist, mobs, hate-filled, unruly, people. Here is another Mainstream Media Narrative: Sarah Palin is a stupid hick, a gender traitor, and a quitter. And the Mainstream Media Narrative that underlies all narratives: Anyone who believes something other than the liberal agenda is selfish, mean, and […]
Another story from the tabloid trash beat: The National Enquirer — which established itself as more legitimate than the “legitimate” media by bringing us the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story — announces that Comrade Obama’s Bitter Half has launched a feud against prominent fellow moonbats Shrillary Rotten and Doprah. Furious Michelle Obama has declared war on […]
Neil Cavuto of Fox News had a visit with former Vice President Dan Qualyle on Jan 13. Ostensibly the interview was about the earthquake in Haiti and the efforts that Quayle was saying needed to be made for the victims there, but Cavuto also asked the former veep about his feelings about the Tea Party […]
The special election in Massachusetts for the open Senate seat once held by Teddy Kennedy is the hottest political story of the day. The race is so close that no one is sure who will win but signs are starting to point to Republican Scott Brown’s win. Cue the Associated Press with a puff piece […]
Seldom do I give serious credence to the tabloids, but the National Enquirer’s coverage of the John Edwards story has to be considered an exception. After all, they’ve been ahead of EVERYONE ELSE, every step of the way, and they’ve been proven right time and time again. As a publication, the Enquirer may be only […]
Dear House Democrats: Today the AP reported that : “A panicky White House and Democratic allies scrambled Sunday for a plan to salvage their hard-fought health care package in case a Republican wins Tuesday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, which would enable the GOP to block further Senate action.The likeliest scenario would require persuading House Democrats to […]
Democrats are widely expect to cheat to hold onto the contested Senate seat in Massachusetts — and their strident supporters at MSNBC are egging them on. Here goes Ed Schultz of comrade Obama’s favorite network: If I lived in Massachusetts, I’d try to vote ten times. I don’t know if they’d let me or not, […]
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Day I try and repost every year one of my favorite pieces. I wrote it over 16 yrs ago when it was published in the Fort Worth Star Telegram: In 1971 I was in the fifth grade in Jackson, Mississippi. Busing had just begun in order to help […]
For those that don’t know, GOProud is a relatively new gay conservative group that broke off from the Log Cabin Republicans. Lately, they’ve been in the news because Liberty University withdrew their co-sponsorship at CPAC over GOProud’s co-sponsorship of the event. Late last week, I interviewed GOProud’s Chairman of the Board, Christopher Barron. What follows […]
You probably remember all the controversy in 2006 when the artist Kurt Westergarrd drew that cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed wearing a bomb as a turban. But you might have missed the story that last week he was almost murdered in his own home. The Danish intelligence service (PET) built a panic room in Westergarrd’s […]
You know that old saying about thinking before you act? In today’s world, it is think before you comment, because sometimes you just want to suck those bullets back into your fingers An air passenger was arrested under the Terrorism Act and held in a police cell for seven hours after joking on Twitter he […]
* The secret is that there is no secret. The people who do the best are the talented ones who work the smartest, hardest, and longest. * The solution to America’s problems isn’t new government programs, it’s scaling back the power of government. * As the power of the state increases, our freedoms contract and […]
For a Party that calls themselves “progressives,” they sure spend quite a bit of time whining about the past and blaming everyone else As audience members streamed out of Pres. Obama‘s rally on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D) here tonight, the consensus was that the fault for Coakley’s now-floundering MA SEN bid lies with […]
Did you hear about this travesty in Haiti? Earthquake victims, writhing in pain and grasping at life, watched doctors and nurses walk away from a field hospital Friday night after a Belgian medical team evacuated the area, saying it was concerned about security. The decision left CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta as the only […]
Jerry Adler over at Newsweek is up to familiar tricks; the typical leftist move of misogyny disguised as “humor”. I know. I didn’t realize Newsweek was still in publication either. Hey, I suppose the hip, cultured and enlightened folks need something to read whilst sipping their Pinot Noir and fantasizing about Europe in their Ivory […]
It hasn’t been a great last few months for global warming alarmists. First came ClimgateGate, and now this (via Tim Blair): A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it. Two […]
“…he probably couldn’t win a GOP primary for county sheriff.” So says Rich Moran, over at Pajamas Media. Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate who might — might — actually win the election in mega-liberal Massachusetts, has become the conservative’s darling. Why? For the sheer chutzpah of it all, I’d say. As a […]
Cindy Sheehan, ever desperate for attention, tried to flaunt her Code Pink-y wares in front of the boys on the Left once again. One problem: she sort of went to: the wrong house. The: Washington Post has more: LANGLEY, Va. – A group led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has protested near the CIA’s headquarters and former […]
I was going to say Croak-ley, as that is what her senate campaign is doing, but I assumed that liberals would start screeching about how Republicans “want people to die” and stuff. Sheesh, for such an allegedly cosmopolitan, open-minded bunch, they sure do get their lattes in a foamy tizzy an awful lot. Polling data, […]
Everyone is always talking about how corrupt Illinois politics is. Well, it’s been that way since day one. Since I live here (I’ll take your condolences) I thought I’d give a brief history of Cook County, the home of the City of Chicago. There is a saying about Chicago’s weather: if you don’t like the […]
You can see my book review in the video below. Book review by Lee Doren
Take that, corporations! Last night, as I sat in the comfort of my living room, watching the news and obsessively checking my Twitter homepage for the latest developments, I felt completely helpless. I cried, and then I did the only thing I could do…I wrote a check to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for $50,000. […]
One of the notes that we hear trumpeted over and over again is that conservatives want to purge moderates from the Republican Party. Why, all the members of the Republican Party, in every state and district, have to be as conservative as Rush Limbaugh or else they have to go! This has been repeated so […]
Of course, the only people who are really going to be shocked that an alarmist group like the UN IPCC was making it up as they went along (grant money, anyone?) are the climate alarmists who WANT to believe that Mankind is bad and caused the warming, mostly or solely, since the end of the […]
