Attention citizens of Planet Earth: Have you observed deviants who selfishly reject the green agenda in favor of outmoded concepts like “liberty,” “self-interest,” or even “convenience”? Don’t just curl your lip at them: turn them in at EcoSnoop, the website devoted to exposing eco-criminals. EcoSnoop’s mission is to help our communities heighten awareness of opportunities […]
In the aftermath of the Flight 253 bomb attempt, the White House spent time and money on a political blame game: [A]s it became clear internally that the Administration had suffered perhaps its most embarrassing failure in the area of national security, senior Obama White House aides, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod […]
MSNBC did a pretty mediocre list of the decade’s best political lines. I think Right Wing News can do better, but to do it, I’m going to need your help. Suggest some of the best (and worst) political lines from the last decade in the comments section.
Meet the late Sarah Horowitz, child of political activist David Horowitz, who managed to fuse the painful lessons of her father’s life with a mystical Judaism to complete the task he never could: showing how the Left could save itself from self-destruction. In 1956 a teenage David Horowitz suffered a wound which would pain him […]
Regarding increasing German troops in Afghanistan via the Weekly Standard: Stinner acknowledged that the Germans “need to do their fair share” but that the cultural hurdles to greater German military involvement were great. “Germans are the most risk-averse people in the world,” he says. And they are not so easily inclined to go to war, […]
Oh how times change. Remember when the Obama administration decided they weren’t going to use the term “terrorism” any more? From now on it was going to be “an overseas contingency operation?” As M. Zuhdi Jasser (president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy) at NRO points out,: “the President has finally learned to use the […]
The cached version is here, “Passengers Took Security Into Their Own Hands.” Charles Johnson spends his times trolling around the Internet, looking for freaked out “wingnut hysteria,” and here we have LGF dismissing Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s radical Islamist ties. This was on Saturday, and by that time we already knew the suspect’s deep ties to […]
The Democrats are trying to paint the GOP as “obstructionists” for blocking the appointment of Obama’s choice of Erroll Southers to head up the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Democrats are claiming that by blocking the closure of debate on Southers the GOP is trying to obstruct “tighter security at airports.” But there is an ulterior […]
Anyone wondering just what the point of modern liberalism might be need look no farther than a recent story on the government spending your money to turn farms into forests: Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has ordered his staff to revise a computerized forecasting model that showed that climate legislation supported by President Obama would make […]

Uh oh, alarmists. What do you make of this? (via C3) The Hadley Climatic Research Unit (CRU) provides data to the IPCC. They process temperature station data into adjusted averages for 5×5 degree grids covering the world. In November 2009, CRU had various emails hacked and released. A CRU email from Phil Jones to Michael […]
It has come to this. A newspaper in one of America’s biggest cities has so sold out to extremists, left-wing ideology that it has throw logic, facts, and reality to the four winds in order to sell Obama’s socialist healthcare policies. In a recent editorial the Chicago Sun-Times has absurdly determined that healthcare is a […]
Obviously, coming up with a list of “best” quotes for an entire year is going to be a little subjective. Still, I wanted to give it shot. Feel free to agree or disagree in the comments section…oh, and enjoy! 40) If people plunder you on the sea, that”s piracy. If people plunder you on land, […]
When “Abortion bill” Ben Nelson publicly took a bribe to throw pro-lifers under a bridge on health care, he may have taken a fatal hit to his political career in Nebraska. These numbers from Rasmussen are just stunning: 1) 2012 Nebraska Senate Race Dave Heineman (R) 61% Ben Nelson (D) 30% Some other candidate 5% […]
Hey, remember when Obama was running for President and he assured everyone that foreign policy would be a snap because of his sheer wonderfulness? Why, he was going to be nice and humble and listen — not like that jerk George Bush — and nations across the world were going to all join hands and […]
We all know that the majority of the people who work in the media are to the Left, but, usually, they craft their prostitution on either the opinion pages, or a little more subtely. But not Josh Gerstein at The Politico, who spreads his legs, showing that the Politico is truly embracing the worlds oldest […]
I’m having a hard time taking seriously this article by Harvard’s Jessica Stern. Her essay is titled, “Mind Over Martyr: How to Deradicalize Islamist Extremists.” Considering all that’s happened in the last week — and not counting Fort Hood and earlier incidents — I’m convinced that the Ivory Tower is a bit removed from what’s […]
Bristol Palin is sueing Levi Johnston for sole custody of their son, Tripp. A judge overturned a previous ruling that the case remain closed to the public. Really? Seriously? Who wants to make bets that the judge is a Democrat? I bet she just giggled over the fact that she had the power to drag […]
From ABC News, “Did Obama Respond Too Late to Terror Plot? Critics Assail President? Democrats Say the President Reacted Appropriately, Security Reviews Are Important“: The Obama administration has come under fire from critics who said the president waited too long to address the nation publicly about the Christmas Day terror plot, and that his administration […]
While the President enjoys a Hawaiian vacation (it’s exhausting butting your head against the will of the people over and over and over), his D.C. people scramble and make the barely botched terrorist attack much worse. A.J. Strata has a must-read piece about the finger-pointing while Obama is mid-golf swing: It is a lame excuse […]
Canadian David Frum is like the cross-eyed marksman, he can see the target but just can’t ever hit it. The self-styled conservative has been the Old Media’s leading conservative in attacking, well, other conservatives. Naturally his Dec. 25 piece on theweek.com is no exception. Not only does he attack other conservatives, as is his wont, […]
The appalling election of Barack Obama hasn’t been a disaster for everyone: Fox News is riding high, as a terrified public seeks an island of objective information in television’s sea of shamelessly distorted Obamunist propaganda. It hasn’t hurt that the amateurs running the White House have explicitly established FNC as the one TV news service […]
Why are we left to rely on private Dutch citizens and random luck to spare us from major terror attacks? Because under the regime of Hope & Change, there is literally no one running our security agencies. It seems our socialist rulers have been too busy nationalizing the healthcare industry to see to the defense […]
I have a novel idea for those liberal pantywaist bedwetting hand wringers who are worried about invasive measures designed to protect flyers: don’t fly As the federal government begins an inside-out review of airport security after a passenger allegedly sneaked explosives onto a plane last week, attention is turning to a growing debate over a […]
“You say we [reporters] are distracting from the business of government. Well, I hope so. Distracting a politician from governing is like distracting a bear from eating your baby.” — P. J. O’Rourke Over at the New York Times, they’re bemoaning the polarization of Congress: Much to the distress of more rebellious Republicans, House Republicans […]
One of the downsides of getting to a certain level in the blogosphere is that candidates from all across the country slap you on their mailing lists and send you their “exciting” day-to-day exploits. “Candidate Smith comes out against deficit” “Candidate Smith to attend fund raiser” “Candidate Smith condemns opponent Jones for his boneheaded shenanigans” […]
I’m sure the transfer was just routine, and had nothing to do with the case, and this was not about retaliation, right? Right? RIGHT? The veteran Justice Department voting rights section chief who recommended going forward on a civil complaint against members of the New Black Panther Party after they disrupted a Pennsylvania polling place […]
Let’s face it: if you’re conservative, you’re not going to get your proper due from the mainstream media for your accomplishments. Case in point: Barbara Walters named Michelle Obama the most fascinating person of 2009. Really? Based on what? Her big arms? Her terrible fashion sense? The fact that she’s married to the worst President […]
