Stand Up, Speak Out, Fight Back!

From my column today: If socialism is state-sponsored compassion, what is conservatism? In the binary political world, the default is that a small-government mindset is cruel. This political duality was turned on its ear by George W. Bush’s campaigning and governing as a “compassionate conservative.” A compassionate conservative, it turns out, buys into the liberal’s […]
Increasingly, the Old Media appears to be engaged in satire and here is another story that could serve as an example of it. ABC News has published a purportedly serious story claiming that global warming “helps” the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and terrorists all over the world. For ABC, writer Bill Blakemore makes […]
You can’t say there’s no accountability in the moonbatty education establishment: In a locally unprecedented move, the School District of Philadelphia will hold principals accountable for the number of students eating breakfast in their schools. Breakfast participation will be part of the report card that rates principals each year, along with categories such as attendance […]
While we pay $zillions to terror-sympathetic Muslim regimes for oil, we are sitting on all the energy we will need for decades: Advances in technology for extracting gas from shale and methane beds have quickened dramatically, altering the global balance of energy faster than almost anybody expected. Tony Hayward, BP’s chief executive, said proven natural […]
It’s truly embarrassing to watch the hapless and ineffective Obama team in action on foreign policy. In a bout of appeasement that would make Neville Chamberlain retch, the yellow backed coward in the White House scampered away from building missile defense in Poland and the Czech Republic at the behest of Russia. This puzzled people, […]
Over at US News and World report, they actually allowed a skeptic, a denier, some face time to tell us a bit about the myths of global warming and CO2 Former Vice President Al Gore may have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming issues, but that doesn’t mean everybody […]
During the Bush years, one of my biggest complaints, and certainly a complaint of most supporters, was that he and his administration just wouldn’t fight for his policies. But, then, you never heard the Bush administration consistently insulting, demeaning, demonizing, assaulting, abusing, and denigrating private citizens and entities that oppose, criticize, and/or take exception to […]
Because our servile journalists spend their days awash in ecstasy, thinking endlessly of the tingle that runs up their leg when they see Barack Obama, they don’t seem to be able to find the time to ask him any tough questions. That leaves the rest of us out in the cold, dreaming of queries we’d […]
Leave it to the Associated Press to demonstrate its Leftist bias and economic illiteracy in one sentence. Apparently, the insurance companies are citing the fact that if they have to cover all preexisting conditions, the price for everyone’s insurance premiums will increase. Yes, and the sky is blue. Insurance companies aren’t playing nice any more. […]
It is all fine and good to have a discussion and even a debate about future strategy in Afghanistan. But probably not 6 months after you’ve announced your former strategy. For some reason, dithering has a tendency to be interpreted as a weakness, not a strength. In war, weaknesses are attacked and exploited. And that […]
Both President Obama and the Democratic Congress have ignored the mess that three states have made of their economy and tax burden by attempting to create a public option and/or universal healthcare. Tennessee has its TennCare program, Maine has tried a “public option” program, and Massachusetts has its RomenyCare system that promises healthcare for all. […]
After Obama and the Democrats swept the Republicans out of office it became clear that Republican leaders got one message and everyone else got another message. The Tea Party movement was not borne of Democrat failure. I will say that again: The Tea Party movement was not borne of Democrat failure. The Tea Party movement […]
In exchange for real rights as enshrined in the US Constitution, such as our rights to free speech, to bear arms, and to own property that’s ours and not the government’s, moonbat authoritarians offer their own version of “rights” — i.e., special goodies that it’s your right to force someone else to pay for. The […]
On November 20, the wait will be over; Michelle Obama action figures will hit the market at $12.99 apiece. Every bit as lovely as the original, aren’t they? The black widow dress looks sharper than ever. I hope they also offer the diplomatic mission to Britain clown suit outfit: Maybe there will be a talking […]
The Obama Administration is continuing to lash out at the only major news outlet that doesn’t grovel at: its feet like a penniless beggar hoping for some spare change: Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic but to an unusual degree, the Obama administration has narrowed its sights to one specific organization, the […]
I know, I know. Yet another article about how scary our debt is. You’ve heard it a thousand times. Yet and still, my friends, these numbers beg for further consideration: As of Sept. 30, 2009, the national debt was almost $12 trillion and interest on that debt was $383 billion for the year, according to […]
Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize has inspired a never ending stream of commentary, Twitter jags, SNL skits, and a storm of political huff and puff. Some people think he deserved it, most don’t, and people are starting to question why the news is making such a big splash in the first place. It’s simple really: Obama’s […]
The Old Media wholly ignored the story, but one of the extremists that Barack Obama appointed as a so-called czar in his government had to step down when the full extent of his un-American radicalism was exposed on the Internet. Obama’s “green czar,” Van Jones, resigned when it was revealed how anti-American his rhetoric was […]
How about this gem from Queen Nancy? We must remain focused on the greatest threat to the security of the United States, the clear and present danger of terrorism. We know what we must do to protect America, but this Administration is failing to meet the challenge. Democrats have a better way to ensure our […]
So, yesterday, the gay and lesbian community had an equal rights march. In all seriousness, good for them. All Americans deserve equal rights. But, no one deserves more rights than any other group. But, what did the Obama administration supposedly say about gay bloggers? NBC just did a piece about today’s gay rights march in […]
Well at least she didn’t go out there in black face. Gay rights activists are TFU enough already, so I’m sure they didn’t need additional civil rights hypocrisy to compound the deep schisms in the Democratic Party’s homosexual coalition. As the Washington Post indicates, “For Gay Activists, The Lady Is a Champ: Fans Go Gaga […]
Apparently Brian Williams does not hold the Internet in very high esteem. One easily understands this from his comments about the political Internet on the morning of October 9 when Williams took a swipe at the blogoshpere, pundits and the “opinion-based economy” — whatever the later is. In a follow-up segment after NBC aired President […]
-By Warner Todd Huston This is an update on a story about a company in South Carolina named Smosska that I covered back in July. At this point, it seems beyond question that Smosska is a sham organization that was set up by ACORN in order to hide “community activism” behind a false front in […]
Do you ever realize how much we take for granted? We live in the greatest country in the world, one that shines the light of freedom for all the world to see. That light continues to shine brightly thanks to the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. And just to be here, to […]
In the most unsurprising news ever, the United States is now beloved by the world again. Everyone celebrate! The United States is the most admired country globally thanks largely to the star power of President Barack Obama and his administration, according to a new poll. It climbed from seventh place last year, ahead of France, […]
Heck if I know. I’ve read a little about other potential candidates, none of whom I’d ever heard of before. But this is an interesting idea: As bad as they are, nukes have been instrumental in reversing the long, seemingly inexorable trend in modernity toward deadlier and deadlier conflicts. If the Nobel committee wants someday […]
Now add Taliban and Al Qaeda winning.
The Neverending Campaign continues President Obama on Saturday renewed his vow to allow gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the military, but failed to offer a timetable for doing so – an omission likely to inflame critics who say he is not fighting aggressively enough for gay rights. “I will end ‘don’t ask, […]

As reported earlier, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been fighting against efforts to institute transparency in the healthcare debate by posting SB3200, the House healthcare bill, online for at least 72 hours before the bill comes to the floor. Similarly, efforts to bring transparency to the Senate’s Baucus bill are also in the […]
