Question: “How would you answer Kristof’s “Wrong Side of History” piece in the 11/18 NYT? If Medicare, Social Security and similar past advances of the welfare state didn’t do us in, why should anyone believe this one (healthcare takeover) will be the one that kills our economy? Are we suffering from a “boy who cried […]
In another in a long series of swift kicks to Israel and American Jews, the Obama Administration has announced that it is slashing the guest list and budget for its 2009 Hanukkah celebration. According to the Jerusalem Post the guest list is being cut in half causing some American Jews to wonder if Obama is […]
Circus show trials don’t come cheap. According to Charles “Chucky Schmucky” Schumer, the bill for Chairman Zero to put George W. Bush, the CIA, the military, and pre-Moonbat Messiah America on trial will come to a pretty penny: “Rough estimate from the city of New York, which I received yesterday, place the added cost of […]
Noel Sheppard pointed out: at Newsbusters yesterday that Chris Matthews once again accuses the Tea Party goers of being too white: “This is a largely white — almost no minorities in this crowd,” reported MSNBC’s O’Donnell live from the scene. Matthews reiterated, “Well, they look like a white crowd to me,” later claiming, “I think there […]
So the problem with the party regulars in Washington, who seem to be too much detached from real people, is they’ve got what I call this itty bitty schizophrenic concept of a Big Tent — which is we’re going to have a party where half of our candidates run like Ronald Reagan and the other […]
Just the other day, Senator James Inhofe said “Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked.’’ And the hit parade just keeps on coming! Global warming appears to have stalled. Climatologists are puzzled as to why average […]
James O’Keefe on the latest ACORN video released by himself and Hannah Giles: Lavelle Stewart, of ACORN in South Central Los Angeles, tells us she thinks we have to hook up with “someone who’s on that international sex business level,” that “14 and 15 year olds been traveling overseas for years,” that she can do […]
For the 2008 general election, 78% of the Jewish vote went to Barack Obama, topping the percent Kerry achieved in 2004 (76%.) The Jewish vote tends to go overwhelmingly to Democrats, despite so many Democrats railing against Israel and that “evil Israeli lobby,” being pro-Palestinian, pro-Muslim terrorist, etc. Not all, of course. Bill Clinton has […]
Over 2,000 pages (yeah, nothing can be hidden in there, can it?) the bill sets up at least 370.2 billion in new taxes over the next 10 years: 1. 40% excise tax on health coverage in excess of $8,500/$23,000 ($149.1 billion) 2. Employer W-2 reporting of value of health (negligible revenue effect) 3. Conform definition […]
Crossposted at TabithaHale.com. UPDATE: After making the threat earlier this week, Coburn said, “I don’t know” when POLITICO asked if he would force a reading by Senate clerks on the floor. With his colleagues eager to go home for the Thanksgiving break, it’s possible that Coburn may backoff. Thanks, Coburn. The 2,074-page Senate health care […]
I’d be perfectly happy if Osama Bin Laden caught a bullet to the brain, got hit with the business end of a missile, or if a few of our GI’s were just to up and decide to impale the son-of-a-b*tch on a sharp stick for the fun of it. However, if we do capture Osama […]
An excerpt of the 1924 Republican Party Platform: The prosperity of the American nation rests on the vigor of private initiative which has bred a spirit of independence and self-reliance. The republican party stands now, as always, against all attempts to put the government into business. American industry should not be compelled to struggle against […]
Tomorrow will be Q&A Friday #104 at RWN. So, if there’s a subject you’ve been wanting me to tackle or an issue you want to hear my opinion on, just ask your question in the comments section. Your question can be on just about anything: politics, ideology, history, blogging, RWN, movies, music, literature, or TV. […]
When I saw this cover on the Globe, you just know I had to grab it: This is an intriguing choice for the Globe because you may be able to hide a temper tantrum or an “enemies list” from the public, but you can’t really hide lung cancer for that long. So, if you were […]
Crossposted at TabithaHale.com For those of you that live under a rock, Palin ventured behind enemy lines, so to speak, and made a long awaited appearance on Oprah, designed to coincide with the release of her highly anticipated memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life. What better place to catapult a book that is already a […]
While I was at the Freedomworks event in Raleigh last week-end, I got an opportunity to interview former House Majority Leader and Freedomworks Chairman, Dick Armey. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of my interview with him. Should the official Republican Party stay out of primaries? You know, my general attitude is that everybody […]
Sarah K. Fleming of Twits.ws and John Hawkins discuss teenage sex, the appeal of vampires, why it might be more damaging for young girls to have sex with older guys than the other way around and more…. Also, Sarah reveals a secret her husband Frank of IMAO would rather no one knows. Download MP3 To […]
He has become so wildly erratic that it’s hard to predict what he’ll do next, but Sully now seems to be telegraphing his intent to do something even more monumentally embarrassing than his unrequited: twink-lust for Levi Johnston. (Yes, those are live links to Sullivan’s blog; click at your peril, or don’t.) Though not a Sarah […]
The obsequious political correctness that allowed Nidal Malik Hasan to fester away until he was ready to launch his terrorist massacre at Ford Hood is hardly limited to the military. Law enforcement is rotted through with it too: The Ummah, a violent fundamentalist Sunni Islamic group in Detroit, advocates a separate Islamic state that would […]
Socialized medicine doesn’t really mean death panels. It means pleasantly named bureaucracies like Britain’s NICE, which has just ruled that those with liver cancer are a burden on The State and must die quickly for the greater good. What use are taxpayers who are too sick to pay taxes? The health watchdog has blocked a […]
Crossposted at TabithaHale.com Did you know that Obama has restored our position in the world? The polls say so, so it’s true. Everyone loves us! “No. 1, I think that we’ve restored America’s standing in the world,” Obama said, citing polls about public confidence in the United States around the world. “We’ve seen very specific […]
The first part deserves a big “kudos!” Troops craving chocolate in Afghanistan could soon be eating dairy-free treats bearing the image of Osama bin Laden. A chocolatier and longtime People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals supporter is making the special vegan chocolates for the troops after reading about how difficult it was to get […]
Conservative authors have said that Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder and Andrew Sullivan has made me a believer. He is Exhibit A: hallucinating his way through a serious case of Sarah Palin hate. But Andrew Sullivan is only the most shriekingly obvious deranged lib. The mainstream media [Newsweek, NBC, WaPo] makes itself look even more […]
I used to think Jon Stewart was funny. Sure he bashed Bush, but he at least gave the Democrats their due as well. Now his jokes go in this order; Republicans, the media, and Joe Biden. Once in a blue moon he might take a light jab at Pres. Obama. Which is absurd considering the […]
Either today or later this week, Senate Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev) wants the Senate to vote on a “motion to proceed” on the Senate’s version of the healthcare bill. That wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that it has barely been seen by anyone in the Senate. At least not as […]
Remember this oldy but goody from President Neophyte on his second day as President? “Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the white house counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with […]
**And now a word from my inner swaggerer… Europe is a chick’s name. That’s right, you heard me. The word Europa from which Europe is derived is of feminine gender in origin. In Greek mythology Europa was a Phoenician princess abducted by Zeus. Zeus disguised himself as a bull to pull off the caper. So, […]
The Khalid Shaikh Mohammed backlash has been quite the spectacle. From Holder’s hearing today to Obama predetermining the outcome, this has been really unbelievable. Pulling the trial out military tribunes and moving to civilian courts is a fundamental change in how we deal with criminals. The options, as I see it, are this: 1. They […]
This one is right out of the “you’ve got to be kidding me” category. It seems that stimulus funds, you know that 787 billion bill without an “ounce” of pork in it, are funding a study at the University of Illinois (wow, there’s a surprise) to look at “the relationship between fat taxes and food […]
