Wasn’t that the promise? Well Americans For Tax Reform have looked at the 1990 pages of the House monstrosity and found 13 taxes that will indeed raise yours by much more than a “dime” [HT: United Liberty]. Here are just three of them. You can take a look at the entire list here. [pdf] Employer […]
Yes. He. Did: I wish I were making this up. UPDATED: So, upon further inspection, it looks like it was a different William Ayers. But a guy named George Soros was there eight times and I don’t know too many of those. And an Andy Stern was there 22 times. Granted, that’s a common name, […]
Do I feel like I’m beating a dead horse? Yes. The problem? It ain’t dead. The health care bill is very much alive and it’s almost unthinkable that it’s even being considered for the following reasons: The Cost Is Enormous: More importantly, America is already staggering under loads of debt. Why are we talking about […]
Call it the democrat in me (small “d,” people, small “d”) but every time I hear this president talk about “my house” when he is discussing the White House, I bristle. It isn’t “your house,” Mr. Obama. It is the people’s house. You have just been fortunate enough to have been selected to sleep there […]
I do believe Twitter’s Follow Friday tradition needs to be re-vamped to be relevant. Here’s the problem: People are creating too many tweets filled with “cool” people and clogging everyone’s streams with chum. That is, people have ceased paying attention to the vast numbers of the Follow Friday Tweets so they’re ceasing to be helpful. […]
People often criticize me for “dishonoring” the office of the president (the anarcho-socialist James Webb, for example), but I wrote a respectful post yesterday in response to President Obama’s visit to Dover: “Obama Honors Fallen Troops at Dover.” Sure, the president’s visit was perhaps the worst instance of political grandstanding since taking office, but knowing […]
Newt Gingrich has publicly opposed the impending disaster of Card Check, which would allow Comrade Obama’s union cronies to do to every business in America what they did to the auto industry. Yet he endorses outlandishly left-wing New York RINO Dede Scozzafava, who in turn supports Card Check. The National Right to Work Committee isn’t […]
Runaway statism continues to lurch into absurdity in Airstrip One, where parents can be prevented from playing with their own children because they have not received the proper credentials from Big Government and therefore might be child molesters: Parents are being banned from playing with their children in council recreation areas because they have not […]
For those of us who are from the Northeast, we know what Mischief Night is. Essentially, the night before Halloween is a night to play some practical jokes on people, create a little havoc. Flaming bags of dog doo on the door step. Dog poo or shaving cream under the car door handle. Removing a […]
Will Obama snatch defeat from victory in Afghanistan and Iraq? It’s entirely possible. Worst. President. In. US. History. David Brooks is a pitiful man who makes a living pretending to be a Republican. It’s truly pathetic way to make a living. The idea that Democrats were hurt, not helped, by not passing an unpopular health […]
On MSNBC on October 27, Rachel Maddow interviewed Jane Hamsher, well-known Hollywood roustabout and left-wing blogger for FireDogLake.com. The subject was the progress of Obamacare in the Senate and Senator Joe Lieberman’s warning that he might join a Republican filibuster of the Baucus bill if it contained the so-called public option. During the discussion, however, […]
The ACLU releases a gently chiding news release regarding a law that Obama just signed President Obama today signed into law a Homeland Security appropriations bill that grants the Department of Defense (DOD) the authority to continue suppressing photos of prisoner abuse. The amendment, which would allow the DOD to exempt photos from the Freedom […]
“I mean, why watch the nightly news when you are the nightly news.” — George W. Bush Now, while Obama’s original birth certificate has never been made public, Hawaii has issued a certificate of live birth that declares Barack Obama to be a forty-eight-year-old man. Usually I’d consider something like that official enough, but evidence […]
-By Representative John Boehner (R-OH), Washington, Oct 29 Members of Congress and the American people are just beginning to look at Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) 1,990-page government takeover of health care, but it’s already becoming clear just how costly and unsustainable this proposal is. From higher taxes on middle-class families to job-killing mandates on small […]
Finally there is a study that actually serves a purpose, rather than one of those studies that discovers that sleeping less leads to increased fatigue. The military looked at which personnel were more likely to see a deadly roadside bomb and which personnel were simply poor at it. What they found kind of surprised me. […]
**UDPATE** 11/9/09 For Constitution Day this year at Sacramento City College Associated Student Government (ASG) President and student Steve Macias arranged for a group named Genocide Awareness Project, an anti-abortion group, to participate on campus in the Constitution Day activities. The group was approved for participation by the ASG and set up its booth at […]
Here is some of the disaster she’s wrought: The Bill From Hell Taxes Transparency and more lack of Oppression Government will Regulate… Everything Republican Response Obviously, this is just scraping the surface and there will be more to come.
Earlier I noted that we need your voice to keep the pressure on our representatives to keep government funds out of the hands of the criminal organization ACORN. Today Byron York posted another reminder of this salient fact in his headlined, “Will Congress’ Defunding of ACORN Expire Saturday?” York concludes that it is unlikely that […]
The intolerable greed of Big Government is finally starting to elicit resistance. In New York, the natives are getting restless: State Police have speculated that any government effort to block the flow of tax-free cigarettes onto New York’s Indian reservations will lead to violence and could possibly escalate into a “military problem,” an adviser to […]
It has been hard for progressives to claim the moral high ground while shrieking that children’s lives should be snuffed out for the sake of convenience — excuse me, “choice.” But environmentalism once again provides the smokescreen of sanctimony that prevents the gullible from recognizing that the liberal agenda represents unadulterated evil. From Airstrip One’s […]
Man, what a shame Denmark’s prime minister says he does not think a legally binding deal on climate change will be agreed upon at a December summit in Copenhagen. Lars Loekke Rasmussen spoke ahead of an EU summit at which climate change will be one of the main topics. “We do not think it will […]
Food for thought #1 Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson issued his second apology in 12 months Tuesday and was told to stay away from the team while the NFL and the Chiefs complete their investigation into his use of a gay slur. As Johnson was releasing his apology, a national gay rights advocacy […]

Not shocking: eBay isn’t allowing supporters of crackpot assassin, Scott Roeder, to sell items to raise money for his defense. Somewhat shocking: Scott Roeder has supporters: Online retailer EBay said Tuesday that it would block an auction planned to raise money for the man charged with killing Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller. Supporters had said […]
From The Business and Media Institute: Every time the White House has a new enemy, left-wing Web-based media outlets take up the cause to defend the Obama administration. Earlier this year when CNBC personalities criticized the Obama administration, the Huffington Post and other components of the left-wing noise machine watched every word said on the […]
The White House tell us that the government public option in health care insurance reform will introduce “choice and competition” into the insurance market. But when it comes to education, which already “enjoys” a government monopoly, “choice and competition” are not at all something White House has any desire to introduce. And, in fact, it […]
People were made into soap and their skin was used for lampshades during Hitler’s reign, but even the Nazis didn’t use dead babies to help produce cosmetics. Children of God for Life announced today that Neocutis, a bio-pharmaceutical company focused on dermatology and skin care is using aborted fetal cell lines to produce several of […]
As I was reading an otherwise humdrum post by Domenico Montanaro over at MSNBC, a particular line jumped out at me because it revealed so much of what’s wrong with politics in America today: We’re soon coming up on the one-year anniversary of Barack Obama’s presidential win. And one of the messages he used during […]
Peter Gadiel’s son James was killed when Muslim murderers crashed a plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. In memory of that horrible day, James’ hometown of Kent, Connecticut wants to erect a plaque memorializing James’ death but there has come a snag to the city’s plans: James’ […]
