Promises, Promises

When you campaign on hope and change. When you promise a bright new day in politics. When you tell people that you’re a new sort of politician. Worse, when the American people believe you. And then, when you don’t deliver jack. You have a problem. Candidate Obama promised the American people the moon delivered on […]

The Problem With The “Educated Class” In America

Intellectualism has become the readiness, willingness and ability to call dangerous things safe, and safe things dangerous. — Morgan Freeberg The New York Times’ pretend conservative, David Brooks, got some attention for his latest column sneering at the Tea Parties, but I found his misguided view of the “educated class” to be more interesting: The […]

You Have GOT To be Kidding…

Can the government do anything right? In the process that this takes, including being approved by Congress, no one….not one person, considered that this might be offensive??? The word “negro” is now featured on an official U.S. document and now many are questioning if the Census Bureau is being insensitive. …………………. Question #9 on the […]

Americans Are In For A Shock, ‘Eh?

According to Obama administration officials and USA Today, Americans will be shocked when they see the results of some internal reports regarding the Crotchbomber: WASHINGTON – White House national security adviser James Jones says Americans will feel “a certain shock” when they read an account being released Thursday of the missed clues that could have […]

Terrorists ‘Sploding All Over The Place, Plus Other B+ Fail

No, no, Achmed, you must keep the speed above 50 or we’ll…. ka=boom! Kabul, Afghanistan – Fourteen suspected terrorists died Tuesday night when the bus they rigged with explosives blew up prematurely, police said. The explosion occurred as the suspects were riding the bus in the province of Kunduz, said police chief Abdul Raziq Yaqobi. […]

Why Are We Closing Gitmo? Not For The Reasons Stated

It remains a mystery, to me at least, why closing Gitmo is such a priority to this president. In fact, it seems like it is the only campaign promise he actually plans on keeping, although to this point he’s been spectacularly unsuccessful. But seriously, other than location, what does closing Gitmo and moving these “detainees” […]

Liberal Court Uses “Racism” Ploy to Grant Vote to Felons

Liberalism is the ideology of the criminal. While others create, liberals use force to expropriate. For moral cover, they cloak themselves in altruism (which in itself can be a moral illness, as Ayn Rand made a career of explaining). But there is absolutely zero moral difference between breaking into someone’s house and stealing money to […]

Petition Against KSM Carnival Trial

Human Events is offering a chance to speak out against the insane show trial Comrade Obama is granting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a stone’s throw from Ground Zero. A petition to be sent to Chairman Zero’s pro-terrorist AG John Holder lists the following reasons for opposing this sick spectacle: 1. Trying these terrorists in […]

John Stossel Gives me a Shout Out

Usually I don’t give notice for every single time some news agency cites my work. If I did I’d be spending too much time doing it (no, that wasn’t too self congratulatory at all! Ha, ha). But here is one that I am sort of proud of. So, if’n ya’all will indulge me for a […]

The Disastrous First Year

You might have seen some whining from the left about Rasmussen’s recent poll numbers on Pres. Obama. They were busy accusing Rasmussen of actually being rightwing. I guess they will have to add Gallup to the rightwing conspiracy: According to Gallup’s first full data set for 2010, Barack Obama starts his second year in office […]

Obama Wants Guantanamo Detainees To Suffer

It is now nearing the one-year anniversary of the day Obama claimed that Guantanamo would be shut down. With all his rhetoric on the facility, I thought that Obama was all about the “humane” treatment of the terrorists being held at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility? Right? I mean, wasn’t Obama all we-weed up that […]

The Case Against Public Sector Unions

By now you are all familiar with my beating on my little unions-are-bad-for-government drum… ya may even be tired of it by now. Still, I’d like to pass on the work of friend to the blog David Denholm who has also addressed this point in the past. On the Public Service Research Foundation website can […]

How The Mighty Fall Part II

t’s really amazing that after one year of Obama, Democrats are dropping like flies: “Four top Democrats – including veteran Sens. Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan – all prepared to pull the plug on their campaigns in a 24-hour period that began Tuesday, and in the process, offered an unnerving glimpse at the perilous election […]

See You In Davy Jones’ Locker, You Worthless Sea-Hippies!

Let me be the first to applaud the people responsible for sinking a boat full of sea-hippies who were harassing Japanese whaling vessels: The high-tech stealth boat Ady Gil was cut in half and sunk by a Japanese security vessel in Antarctic waters today, dramatically upping the stakes in the annual struggle between whalers and […]

America Is Now A Dependent Society–UPDATED

People don’t vote against their own interests. At least, that’s the theory. So, when their own interests involve keeping their government job, they’ll vote Democrat. They want a politician who is interested in expanding the government, i.e. their paychecks. That’s why this chart worries me: Lavishly paid government workers means less money going to the […]

France Becomes A Giant Pre-School For Adults

Just when you thought the French couldn’t become any more childlike or emasculated, they came up with this: It would cover men who shout at their wives and women who hurl abuse at their husbands – although it was not clear last night if nagging would be viewed as breaking the law. The law is […]

Scott Brown? Game-On!

On Monday, I wrote a post called “Very Skeptical About Scott Brown’s Chances.” In that post, I pointed out that there hadn’t been any polling released in Brown’s race and since that was the case, he was likely way behind. Of course, I also said this: Now, if someone can produce a poll showing that […]

AGW Scaremongering Today: Climate Refugees

If only some of these chicken littles would look at a thermometer. And the news media is not helping, since they tend to ignore stories about it being below average cold. When they do deign to discuss those stories, they somehow manage to blame Man’s release of greenhouse gasses for the cold weather. Yeah, I’m […]

The Grapes of Wrath: 2010 Government Edition

Last night, I was watching the Grapes of Wrath and there was a particular part that stuck with me because it’s so typical of the situation we see in modern America. In the scene, Muley’s farm is being taken from him and he and his family are questioning the man giving them the news: MULEY: […]

Peters Canyon Regional Park: First Hike, 2010

This entry is cross-posted in full at American Power. My RWN weekday blogging’s been a little slow off the start, but will pick up as my New Year’s schedule gets under control. I’m going to be getting back into my hiking regimen, since us bloggers can’t be sitting around all day! Here’s an excerpt from […]

Christian Evicted From Rapist’s Cell

The decay has reached the point that merely being a Christian around a rapist is regarded as a human rights violation: An atheist rapist has complained that his human rights were breached by having to share a prison cell with a Christian inmate. Barman Steven Relf, 40, was jailed indefinitely after admitting raping two women […]

Condi Rice Positions Herself to Cash In on Cap & Trade

It’s almost impossible to overstate the economic devastation that would be wrought by Tax & Charade, should it follow healthcare nationalization through the Senate for Comrade Obama’s eager signature. Not only would it represent by far the largest tax hike in history — at a time the economy couldn’t possibly withstand it — but it […]
