Republicans and the Social Media Revolution
Back in February, interestingly, I thought Meghan McCain had a good point when she argued that “Republicans don’t get the Internet.” Not any more. With Americans witnessing the dramatic impact of Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government, which along with Fox News has been the main outlet breaking the ACORN prostitution scandal, we’re really seeing the power […]

Is Obama In Over His Head?
For those of us who predicted that, we may as well keep quiet because when we pointed out all the reasons Barack Obama wasn’t qualified for the presidency, we were waved off as people not understanding his exceptionalism. Barack Obama was the one guy who didn’t need the seasoning or experience most would deem critical […]

Baldilocks Goes With God, So Exactly Where Is LGF’s Mad King Charles Going?
Longtime conservative blogger Baldilocks, a former Pajamas Media staffer, was banished Sunday: from Little Green Footballs,: where Charles Johnson’s: insane jihad against his erstwhile friends and allies has become: one of the most: embarrassing spectacles in the history of the blogosphere. “He’s like a troll with his own website,” as one commenter at Ace of Spades HQ said. This latest […]

Smart Girls take on Nashville!
What an incredible weekend! The inaugural Smart Girl Summit took place in Nashville, Tennessee this weekend. Smart Girls came from all over to learn, network, and just have fun. I rode from the DC area with SGP Cofounders Stacy Mott and Teri Christoph. After a LONG ride to Nashville, we got in and had dinner […]

Cash For Clunkers: The Debacle That Keeps On Giving
There were so many things wrong with the cash-for-clunkers program that it was hard to keep up with them all. The program quickly ran out of money, there were horrible paperwork snafus, a large percentage of the money was used for foreign cars, perfectly good cars were destroyed during the process, they’ve only handled about […]

Is it American to be Forced Into a Union? In Obama’s America it is!
Welcome to Obama’s America where you are forced to become a union member even if you had no idea you were being inducted into one. In fact, in Obama’s America you won’t even know you are IN a union until you notice union dues are being withheld from your checks. This is the case in […]

Chaos, Destruction Expected as Moonbats Converge on Pittsburgh
An estimated 1.7 million patriots descended on Washington on 9/12, and left it looking at least as good as they found it. No one expects the same to hold true of the moonbats who will converge on Pittsburg for the G20 summit: Barely a block from a parking lot where Pittsburgh will house protesters of […]

ObamaCare Tampon Tax
Over and over, Candidate Obama promised that 95% of Americans would pay less in taxes if he took power. Yet the Baucus bill — which Chairman Zero’s allies in Congress may ram through with the nuclear option — taxes items used by far more than 5% of us, including tampons, contact lens solution, and condoms.

Breitbart: NEA Conference Call, Your Tax Dollars, And Artistic Coercion
Here is the explosive tape from the NEA at Brietbart as well as a transcript in full. I’m listening now. Nick Gillespie, also of Breitbart’s Big Hollywood says: As Patrick Courrelieche, an L.A.-based arts organizer who participated in the call, reported at Big Hollywood, the people running the call, including the NEA’s director of communications […]

Why Are Women Unhappier Than Men? An Answer
It’s statements like these that get my co-blogger John Hawkins in trouble: It’s not choices that are causing problems for women, it’s expectations. Women are no longer merely expect to act like women. Now, feminism, liberalism, and Hollywood says they’ve got to be able to do everything women used to do AND everything that men […]

Obama’s Not So Hard Road To Soft Tyranny
Why is the Obama administration destined to fail and be thrown out in four years? This is why and it has nothing to do with race. And when one stops to think about the situation we find ourselves in, it becomes even more troubling. A new Gallup poll shows that the number of people who […]

The Left’s Suicidal Anti-American Impulses On Foreign Policy
“While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case, liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines American security.” — Ann Coulter When it comes to foreign policy, liberals are like sheep who have a desperate need to find a wolf and bare their throat to him. You can see a […]

Violence Serves The Left
The Left already enjoys a reputation for being whack-a-doodles. One only needs to visit Zombietime to see how leftists, or what is now being called neo-liberals, roll. Since conservatives don’t really protest, generally, watching the Teaparty movement unfold is fascinating. For all the talk of violent mobs, crazies, Nazis, terrorists and the rest of the […]

Why Are Women Unhappier Than Men?
Maureen Dowd obviously is not a happy camper in her private life and you can tell that because every so often, it leaks into her writing. Why can’t she find a man? Why is she so miserable? Granted, it makes for interesting reading, but you still have to feel a little bad for a rich, […]

Climate Alarmist: Gee, Maybe We Shouldn’t Have Hung Our Hat Solely On CO2
Geoffrey Lean at the Telegraph is just asking for a beat down from the rest of the True Believers (who still refuse to walk the talk) Here’s a heretical thought, one that might even further inflame the great global-warming slanging match. Has the world set out to tackle climate change in the wrong way? It’s […]

The Newest Thrill Ride Named Porkulus
Of course, this Washington Times story is less than shocking, but, hey, all you Democrat supporters might want to take notice of the rank partisanship After a two-week binge to meet President Obama’s 200-day goal, stimulus spending has plummeted once again – and the roller-coaster pace of spending has critics worried about how the money […]

A Poll For Married Readers Of RWN
Someone suggested this poll to me last night and I was interested to see what the results would be… For those of you who are married, if you could go back in time, would you… like to marry the same person. like to marry a different person. like to just stay unmarried. Free polls […]

NEA ABC’s: You Can Help
Is President Obama using official government channels to push his policy agenda? From the NEA wiki (which will be updated continuously): But, there is even a larger issue that hasn’t yet received much attention in the press. Among the Obama Administration officials on the call were Buffy Wicks, Office of Public Engagement and the lead […]

Mandates Must be Unconstitutional
Imagine a day when a president could tell you that you have to buy something or become a criminal via federal law if you don’t. Imagine a day when you are not allowed to choose not to buy a certain product. In a land of true freedom and liberty worrying about the arrival of such […]

So… I was just called a racist… by my family.
I attended the Rally in Washington this past weekend, and I assure you I am not a racist. When I came back and told some family members about my trip… Well, this is how the conversation went. “Are you a teabagger?,you must be a teabagger?” In which I respond “You must be watching some Rachel […]

Michelle Obama has no class
If you were going to a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, how would you think you should act? What would you wear? Certainly you wouldn’t walk in all upbeat and positive, and you wouldn’t be popping the cork off a bottle of champagne. Likewise, you wouldn’t walk in wearing a Hawaiian print shirt or a […]

Obama’s Watergate: Could ACORN Bring Down a President?
I kinda broached the possibility in one of my Glenn Beck entries the other day. Could the ACORN scandal bring down the Obama administration? It’s seems like small potatoes, really. ACORN’s under the radar for most folks, but considering the importance of the group in the president’s political ascendancy, yeah, it’s pretty serious. And of […]

The Obama Administration Did What?
I’m not quite sure what to think of it, but this might just be the least radical, leftist-agenda-pushing action I’ve seen thus far from the Obama posse. The Obama administration on Friday urged a U.S. court to dismiss a lawsuit by gay married couples from Massachusetts who say they were unlawfully denied federal marriage benefits. […]

Today’s Political Atmosphere Is Like Dallas ’63? Really?
Eric Boehlert destroys whatever shred of credibility he might have ever had in two quick paragraphs: I’ve been thinking a lot of Kennedy and Dallas as I’ve watched the increasingly violent rhetorical attacks on Obama be unfurled. As Americans yank their kids of class in order to save them from being exposed to the President […]

I’m gonna grab the low-hanging fruit and call this an example of racism. And maybe sexism, too.
Somebody tell Eugene Robinson: I think we’ve got a clear example of racism, and it’s coming from the White House: In a stunning request, the Obama administration has made it clear to poll-challenged Gov. Paterson that the White House would prefer he not seek election to a full four-year term next year. The “official” line […]

No such thing as intelligent design? On a Sunday?
No such thing as intelligent design, you say. No higher power, no Creator, no Builder setting the universe’s Legos one on top of the other to create the perfect world for sustaining life. No great weaver of tapestries, pulling this thread, then that one, setting the stage for human existence. Human prosperity. Human life — […]

WH Throws David Paterson Under The Bus
Obama has conveyed to Gov. Paterson, through various admin officials, that he doesn’t want Paterson to run for re-election: President Obama has grave concerns that New York Gov. David Paterson cannot win a reelection contest in 2010, and the White House has taken the unusual step of conveying those concerns to the governor himself, several […]
