From Smart Girl Nation: A member’s daughter, a senior in high school, had come home upset because, although the speech was not shown in her school, her anatomy teacher had made the class watch the President’s health care speech. After the video was shown, the students were given a short quiz about the speech. The […]
It appears that today is the day for rather scathing assessments of President Obama in the British press. This one by Nile Gardiner. He points out that the third-world debating club, known as the UN, will certainly deliver a standing ovation to their favorite US president in a while. But, says Gardiner, we should understand […]
Sibel Edmunds was a Turkish and Farsi translator who worked for the FBI after 9/11. Eventually, after a dispute, she was fired. The FBI says it was for legitimate reasons. Edmunds says it was for whistleblowing. Since then, she has been trying to draw attention to her claims while the FBI reaction has been to […]
This may shock many of my conservative fans, but I cannot remain quiet about my support for the singularly brilliant idea that Obama’s so-called science czar offered in the 1975 college textbook Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Birth control, it was theorized, could save the planet. I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree. In 1975, […]
Digg isn’t a political website per se, but it is an extremely popular, leftward leaning link website. So, when I noticed they had a thread about this… Vice President Joe Biden said today that if Democrats were to lose 35 House seats they currently hold in traditionally Republican districts, it would mean doomsday for President […]
Here is yet another story where union members undergoing disciplinary procedures can sometimes spend years being paid their full salary to sit home and watch TV, doing nothing, working not a minute of their day. In this case it is costing a local school system at least $2.25 million to pay teachers that aren’t teaching. […]
When liberals whine that the war to liberate Iraq cost too much, they make an argument that would be reasonable — but only if someone else were making it. We now know that their Teleprompter Messiah will flush more money down welfare in the next year than Bush spent on the entire war. During the […]
There is no good or evil in Liberal Land. Everything is a nuanced shade of murky gray. Moonbattologists call this “moral relativism,” a principle that has been applied yet again as two particularly unseemly congressional Democrats, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers (whose wife has been busted on felony bribery charges) and the […]
Dick Morris has done an absolutely fantastic video talking about how to stop Obamacare: Now you’re probably saying, another health care argument? We’re hearing these day in, day out, all over the place. What makes this one so exceptional? I’ll tell you what makes this one great: In this video, Dick Morris completely ignores ideology […]
As President Obama pontificates before the UN talking about his four pillars, the first one being disarmament, also known as defanging the West so they’re helpless before an enemy that will never disarm, Sarah Palin talks about what is important to the American people and the economic world: It’s the economy, stupid. Foreign policy often […]
Yesterday, I mention that Germany has pledged that it will walk out on Mahmoud during his speech if he goes into his typical Holocaust denial and Jew hatred modes, and was urging other E.U. countries to do the same. Now, Canada goes a step further Canada will boycott Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the […]
Hullabaloo comes out and tells us what most Democrats/Liberals/Progressives think about Afghanistan Escalation is a bad idea. The Democrats backed themselves into defending the idea of Afghanistan being The Good War because they felt they needed to prove their macho bonafides they called for withdrawal from Iraq. Nobody asked too many questions sat the time, […]
From the Wall Street Journal: Earlier this month, Humana sent a one-page letter to its customers enrolled in its Medicare Advantage plans, which offer private options to Medicare beneficiaries. Humana noted that, because of spending cuts proposed by Democrats, “millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that […]
Charlie Cook, one of the most respected of the political prognosticators, continues to sound the alarm for Congressional Democrats. Since August, Cook has been telling them they’re headed for electoral disaster in the 2010 midterms if they don’t change their ways. Most of the erosion of support has taken place among independents. Although the country […]
President Obama said the war in Afghanistan was a “war of necessity.” He told the Veterans of Foreign Wars, "Those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which Al Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans." Now […]
Our post-racial era of Hopey Change means apartheid for kids trapped in Tucson’s public schools. In addition to various programs that waste mountains of taxpayer money to promote not being Caucasian, the Tucson Unified School District has taken racial bean-counting to the ultimate extreme of absurdity by imposing a quota system for discipline: The board […]
Not all serial killers are wanted by the police. Self-described abortion addict Irene Vilar is free to kill and kill again with the active encouragement of authorities, who confiscate your money to help finance her homicidal activities. Vilar has committed 15 abortions in 16 years. Here’s how ABC sees fit to report on her accomplishment, […]
Have I mentioned that Rachel Maddow is an idiot? You all need to watch this whole video. All of it. H/T Michelle Moore.
Is the Tea Party movement a minority movement? I discuss the question in my latest AIP column: This Tea Party movement isn’t a youthful rebellion. It isn’t a response of an obvious minority to injustice such as the women’s movement or civil rights movement. The Teaparty represents what used to be the silent majority: the […]
The Hill is reporting that Obama is now “open” to a newspaper bailout. Well, welcome to the state run media. Not long ago Senator Ben Cardin (D- Md.) introduced S. 673, the Newspaper Revitalization Act. It is supposed to give news media tax breaks if they restructure as a non-profit corporation. So far, though, the […]
What is Obama doing with Honduras? Objectively, the decision to support a communist over a Democratic ally makes no sense. What is your theory? Obama’s policy in Honduras is: Appeasing Chavez Supporting ideological “brothers” Apathy…he just doesn’t care Something else: Share in comments pollcode.com free polls
Bill Zettler recently submitted a Freedom of Information request on the pensions of 13 retiring public school employees from District 211 in Palatine, Illinois and he found that the people of Illinois are on the hook for over $50 million in pension benefits promised to people retiring at the average age of 58. Zettler found […]
From the do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do files comes Prince Charles’ latest suggestion for how the riff-raff should live their lives: Prince Charles urges people to abandon car in favour of walking and public transport The Prince, who has two Jaguars, two Audis, a Range Rover and still drives an Aston Martin given to him by the Queen […]
It hurts my heart a little to admit that $292 million doesn’t sound like a whole lot right off hand. But it IS a lot of money. And another NYC scumbag has bilked the banks. Meet Hassan Nemazee. A federal grand jury charged Hassan Nemazee, a New York businessman who has ties to prominent politicians, […]
One of the most irritating traits of liberals is their paternalistic, we’re smarter than everyone else because we’re Lefties shtick. I don’t care if you’re talking about cousin Cletus the hog farmer, who quit school in third grade and has an IQ that’s barely in the high double digits, if he’s a liberal he thinks […]
Erik Telford discusses becoming an empowered activist. John Hawkins and I debate why Maureen Dowd and her ilk are unhappy. Also: My defense and criticism of feminism. Download MP3
I stumbled across this quote this morning and wanted to share. “You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody […]
The New York Post says EVERYBODY PANIC! It’s official. It’s getting hot down here. And if we don’t stop burning oil and coal, the Big Apple will be cooked. According to a high tech study commissioned by a concerned Mayor Bloomberg and generously funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, climate change caused by human-created greenhouse gases […]
Let me say, right off the bat, that I have so far supported Obama’s actions in Afghanistan, for the most part. But, does he really know what he is doing? Is he making it more political than it should be? What is the end game? And more questions, since, his policy is not quite matching […]
Because of our nation’s extremely complex history with racial issues, there have never been any “good old days” for race relations in America. We began as a slaveholding nation that simultaneously held the contradictory belief that “all men were created equal,” actually fought a civil war in large part over slavery, and eventually we moved […]
