Illinois Rep. Biggert Introduces Defund ACORN Bill

U.S. Representative Judy Biggert (R, Hinsdale, IL) introduced legislation last week intended to prevent misuse of federal housing counseling funds. “It’s abundantly clear that ACORN and its affiliates cannot be trusted as a federally certified entity,” said Biggert, a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. “Given the group’s clear links to illegal and […]

A View Of Barack Obama: The Right vs. The Left

When I look at Barack Obama, I see a stunningly naive, cowardly, dishonest, vindictive, arrogant, hyper-partisan empty suit, who has gotten as far as he has mainly because he’s black, gives a good speech, and was extraordinarily lucky in his timing. This is a man who rose to the absolute pinnacle of power in American […]

Serve.gov Recruits Pro-Abortion Muscle

Attention moonbats: Comrade Obama has called upon volunteers to serve; volunteering is so important, Dems would like to make it mandatory. Now you have a chance to serve Chairman Zero in the most progressive way possible, by facilitating the liberal sacrament of abortion on his behalf. The nation’s largest abortion mill Planned Parenthood is recruiting […]

Administration Aggrandizes President, Demonizes Others

Look, it’s entirely fair to criticize the Bush Administration for not adapting our military strategy to meet changing circumstances in Afghanistan, but it’s unbecoming for the incumbent Administration to act as if they’re the first ones to ask critical questions while the previous one did not: One of President Obama’s top advisers said Sunday the […]

Gordon Brown: 50 Days Before Global Warming Doom Descends

In light of this revelation, there is only one sensible course of action: PANIC! World leaders have 50 days to save the Earth from irreversible global warming, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Monday. Brown said climate catastrophe would occur if world leaders fail to agree on a climate protection deal at a major climate […]

10 Horror Movies For Conservatives To Watch This Halloween

Halloween is almost upon us and you’re probably thinking, “Gee, wouldn’t it be great to kick back on the couch and rent a few conservative horror flicks for the big night?” Here’s the problem: horror films aren’t family friendly. They’re gory, they’re violent, and they’re vulgar. Even setting that aside, there really aren’t very many […]

Katrina Victims Can Now Sue Over AGW

You knew it had to come sooner or later For years, leading plaintiffs’ lawyers have promised a legal assault on industrial America for contributing to global warming. So far, the trial bar has had limited success. The hurdles to such suits are pretty obvious: How do you apportion fault and link particular plaintiffs’ injuries to […]

Obamacare Lacks ‘Protection Against Treatment Denials’

The L.A. Times published a story that was probably meant solely as a bash on insurance companies, but still the report brings up several issues that Obamacare will only make worse if passed. The problem raised in the headline, “Healthcare bills lack protections against treatment denials, experts say,” isn’t the only problem the story touches […]

Administration Attack on FoxNews Makes President Look Petty

You know, if the president really wanted to look like he’s secure in his leadership and confident of the merits of his policies, instead of regularly dispatching his minions to trash FoxNews, he’d given them a talking point like this: In this era of multiple sources of news, we’re pleased to see them out there. […]

Obama Administration Votes To Restrict Free Speech (update)

This is worrisome. I just featured a story in which Democrats have slipped a “hate speech” bill into the Defense Appropriations bill in a bid to further eroding our 1st Amendment protections. Now we find out that the Obama administration has supported a UN resolution that is also designed to restrict free speech: Around the […]

ACORN Destroying Republican Voter Registration Forms

Not long ago, Pam Geller told the story of an ACORN office in Florida that had destroyed all the Republican voter registration forms it had gotten during a 2008 voter registration drive. Geller had a first-hand account of this crime from one Fathiyyah Muhammad, an Obama voter that is a registered Republican. She is also […]

Government Healthcare Applied to AIDS in DC

We don’t need a crystal ball to see what healthcare will degenerate into as Big Government tightens the grip on its throat. Just refer to the District of Columbia, where most everything falls under the purview of liberal statists: In a city ravaged by the highest rate of AIDS cases in the nation, the D.C. […]

Anti-Semitism: Okay for Obamunists, Not for Others

The hebephrenic anti-Semitism continues unabated at Chairman Zero’s closely moderated website. Pamela Gellar reports: In April 2008 a typical post appeared, claiming that “Jews owe Africa and Africans everything they have today because if Africa did not shelter them when they were homeless and starving, they would not be here today.” And in July 2008, […]

Obama Abandons Abused Women in Afghanistan

President Barack Obama is putting the finishing touches on making a mockery out of the unsupportable claim that Democrats care about women’s rights by his signal to the Afghan Taliban, warlords, strongmen, militias, and tribal leaders that he’s ready to negotiate with anyone there in order to smooth his efforts in that troubled region. President […]

Positive Thinking Is Good For America

As a Psychology major, I tend to love books about how the human mind works. I’ve read hundreds of books on psychology, self-help, positive thinking, motivation, communication, etc. — and not all of them were great books. A few books steer people in the wrong direction. Some of them are trite. Some of them tend […]

Of Course, David Frum Believes Top Conservatives Will Sell-Out…

My friend and co-blogger, Kathy Shaidle, was incredulous when David Frum suggested that many of the top people in the conservative movement would sell out if given the opportunity David Frum finally loses it, “writes”: That question is easy: Yes of course Limbaugh and Beck express the same views in private as in public. Consistent […]

AGW Causes Mental Illness, Or Something

The latest OMG WE’RE ALL IN DEEP DOO DOO BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING! EVERYBODY PANIC! story The negative impact on mental health worldwide may be one of the most severe effects of climate change, with children at greatest risk, according to experts. Of course.

Western CPAC: Bright New Political Hopes Steve Poizner And Chuck DeVore

California conservatives, and really conservatives everywhere need to take heart. There are some very solid conservative candidates coming up through the system. I had the pleasure to meet and speak with both Stephen Poizner and Chuck DeVore (whom I’ve interviewed before on my Podcast here). There will be an upcoming podcast featuring Steve Poizner’s interview. […]

The Neverending Campaign Ramps Up A Notch

Childlike Democrats: Call my name! Obama, please! Save us! Obama: All right, I’ll do it. I’ll save you. I will do what I dream! Bastian: FUNDRAISING! Even though the midterm elections are still a year away, President Barack Obama and the White House have started to unleash the fundraising force of the administration for candidates […]

The Judgment to Lead

It is now more than 76 days after General McChrystal submitted an assessment of what was needed to carry out the “comprehensive new strategy” President Obama announced in March. McChrystal’s assessment was delayed at the request of the administration and the General was warned not to include a request for more troops until the President […]

White House Wants Compliant Press

I‘m still wondering what the upside is for the White House in this fight it is picking with Fox News. We’ve seen Anita Dunn, White House communication’s director take them on, obviously at the behest of and at least with the tacit agreement, one assumes, of the President. After all, he’s been known to complain […]

Specter: GOP the “party of obstructionism.”

As President Obama loves to say, let me be perfectly clear: I’m not about to argue this point with Sen. Specter. You know. Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA). He was a Democrat until political opportunity made him a Republican in 1955, and he was a Republican until political oppportunity made him back into a Democrat in […]

International ANSWER L.A. – Anti-War Teach-In on Afghanistan

The Los Angeles chapter of International ANSWER sponsored an antiwar “teach-in” on Afghanistan, October 17th at Los Angeles City College. The event was the group’s latest “local action” in its intensifying “struggle” against alleged U.S. imperialism in “Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, the Philippines, Latin America and beyond.” ANSWER is accelerating its calls for grassroots resistance to […]
