Japanese “Lost Decade” Redux

It certainly seems like it. Reason magazine finds the current way the US is addressing the economic crises to be pretty familiar: The scenario was eerily familiar. A long real estate bubble that had expanded extra rapidly for the previous five years suddenly burst, and asset prices came crashing back down to earth. Banks and […]

Inexperienced Youngster Put in Charge of Dismantling GM

This should come as no surprise, considering our boy president was installed in office without having any serious credentials: It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism. But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite […]

Private William Long Versus Tiller the Baby Killer

Carlos Bledsoe discovered the Religion of Peace, changed his name to Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, traveled to Yemen, studied jihad with an Islamic scholar, and finally opened fire on a recruiting office in Little Rock, killing Private William Long and wounding Private Quinton Ezeagwula. Interviews with the killer unsurprisingly revealed that he “probably had political and […]

The 10 Hottest Liberal Women In Politics

After the debacle that was Playboy’s Hit Piece On Conservative Women, I thought, “Someone should do this right.” I mean, can’t we simply admire the female form without being jerks about it…ehr, much? So, I thought about doing a list of the hottest conservative women bloggers in politics — but, I realized it wouldn’t work […]

American Issues Project Column: The Complicated Economy

Is there a simple solution to our complex economic problems? I don’t know, but I see parallels to the complexity of the human body and the United States economy: The biggest problem with the current financial mess the United States faces is that it’s not simple. The United States economy, the slow, crawling, sprawling recession, […]

America: Writhing Under The Weight Of History

“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” — A corruption of a quote by George Santayana Not so long ago, Argentina ran up a crushing debt. Eventually, when it become clear that Argentina was unable to pay, it led to an economic collapse in that country that made the Great Depression […]

About Dr. George Tiller, Legality & Morality

I didn’t want to write about this topic. At. All. It’s absolute insanity. And it’s personal. The procedure that Dr. George Tiller became expert at is absolutely gruesome and he was an “expert” over sixty thousand times. That is a medium sized city of people who died being pulled limb from limb or by chemical […]

What Say To Iranian Bigwigs At July 4th Parties?

Unbelieveable, if true. Well, not really unbelieveable, it is Barack Obama sitting in the White House, after all In a new overture to Iran, the Obama administration has authorized U.S. embassies around the world to invite Iranian officials to Independence Day parties they host on or around July 4th. A State Department cable sent to […]

Cheney More Progressive Then Obama On Gay Marriage?

So says the Huffington Post Dick Cheney rarely takes a position that places him at a more progressive tilt than President Obama. But on Monday, the former vice president did just that, saying that he supports gay marriage as long as it is deemed legal by state and not federal government. Don’t forget, Liberals/progressives, the […]

Happiness and the Modern Woman

Last month there were three independent studies released that, taken separately, would perhaps be seen as random blots of a Rorschach test. However, taken together as the sum of the findings of each, they clearly reveal a picture of the lack of happiness among American women. The results of all three analyses indicate that while […]

5 Character Flaws That Are Destroying America’s Future

1) Lack Of Personal Responsibility: As a society, we encourage a “victimhood mentality” and an overweening government that never met an issue it didn’t want to dive into with both feet; so we shouldn’t be surprised that so many Americans expect to be rewarded for failure. If GM fails, we’ve got to step in and […]

Feldstein: Cap-and-Trade a “Bad Idea”

Martin Feldstein, a professor of economics at Harvard University, president emeritus of the nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research, and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 1982 to 1984 has concluded that the Waxman/Markey cap-and-trade legislation is a bad idea. He comes to that conclusion for a number of reasons. First, his […]

Playboy’s Hit Piece On Conservative Women

This morning I received a press release for one of the most vile posts I’ve seen in a long, long time. It’s a piece by a New York writer by the name of Guy Cimbalo, in Playboy. The basic premise behind the article is picking 10 attractive conservative women, demeaning them with poorly written, obnoxious […]

The Strange Lives Of Political Wives

My friend Stephen Kruiser has a strange case of Tourette’s Syndrome. Every time the news gets too anti-Obama-heavy, he yells, “DELTOIDS!” That’s the press’ mantra to sooth themselves in tough Obama times….a nice, puffy piece about Michelle Obama’s striking physique. But think about it, this woman is a lawyer and a mother. How lame must […]

Hemp Houses

Hemp is a sacred plant to moonbats, who come up with their best ideas under its influence. The high priests of environmentalism have declared it to be earth friendly. Plans have been laid to make houses out of hemp, so that our very homes can be shrines to moonbattery: Hemp, a plant from the cannabis […]

Charter Schools Reject Moonbattery, Overcome Achievement Gap

No wonder liberals hate charter schools so much: Reporting from Oakland — Not many schools in California recruit teachers with language like this: “We are looking for hard working people who believe in free market capitalism. … Multicultural specialists, ultra liberal zealots and college-tainted oppression liberators need not apply.” That, it turns out, is just […]

15 Random Thoughts In 140 Characters Or Less.

* If the Right acted like the Left, we’d be demanding the guy who killed Tiller be freed so he could be given a job as a professor. * Conservatives have pro-business principles. Liberals give failing businesses 100s of billions of your money. Which makes more sense? * Too many people are assuming they can […]

The NRSC Gets A Rude Awakening At Redstate

Robert Stacy McCain, Melissa Clouthier, Erick Erickson and I have been complaining about the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s decision to endorse Charlie Crist in the Florida Republican Primary despite the fact that there was already an outstanding, viable, conservative candidate, Marco Rubio, in the primary. The NRSC is supposed to represent all Republicans, so why […]

Gitmo Detainees To Get Satellite TV And Sudoku

Wow. Gauntanamo Bay detention facility is really turning into a fantastic prison. They get fantastic food to the point where they were gaining weight, movies, books, and incredible health care, so much so that James Inhofe (R-Ok) said “It just blows your mind when you stop and think about the way that they are, are […]

Condemning The Murder Of George Tiller

As a pro-life Christian, I don’t have any qualms about unambiguously condemning the man who murdered abortionist George Tiller as he went into church, Dr. George Tiller, whose Kansas women’s clinic frequently took center stage in the U.S. debate over abortion, was shot and killed while serving as an usher at his Wichita church Sunday […]

Acme Auto

The New York Times writes, regarding the General Motors bankruptcy: Rarely has a company fallen so far and so fast as General Motors. “Fast”? Hello?! Actually, Michelene Maynard doesn’t really mean that: She documents the exact opposite of a “fast” fall in the otherwise perfectly good article that follows. It’s just that, well, you know […]

Obamas Are The Ultimate Gulfstream Liberals

Just remember, Barack Obama wants all Americans to cut back, be frugal, and don’t forget, think about their carbon footprint. But, like any good liberal, he’s a completele hypocrite, and has put the American People on the hook for another couple hundred thousand dollars The Obamas escaped Washington on Saturday in search of a quintessential […]

Liberal ickiness watch, Doonesbury style

I’m not quite sure if it’s hypocrisy, or if it’s just another disgusting example of liberal opportunism, hence the wishy-washy name of this post. Whatever it is, it sure left me feeling icky. Oh, you’re wondering what the “it” I’m talking about is, right? I’m talking about the magical way in which liberals have suddenly […]
