When you go to the auto lot starting in 2012, expect your choices to be golf cart sized vehicles President Obama will announce tough new nationwide rules for automobile emissions and mileage standards on Tuesday, embracing standards that California has sought to enact for years over the objections of the auto industry and the Bush […]

I’m going to have to add one more problem on to John’s 6 problems with modern liberalism: it rots their brains to the point they will say and believe the most insane things. They go batsh*t crazy, as Ace termed it, when witnessing Excitable Andy’s long fall into insanity. You had Kos himself writing “screw […]

1) You really didn’t learn everything you needed to know in kindergarten: Liberals love to think of themselves as sophisticated, nuanced intellectuals, but the truth is they have a kindergartner’s view of the world. If it has been defined as “nice” to people they like, they’re for it. If it has been defined as “mean” […]

Why does multiculturalism advance like a conquering army? Why is Barack Obama invited to speak at Notre Dame? It has a lot to do with ambition, prestige and the structure of the American elite: Such is the nature of this elite that only cowards ever apply for membership. No one expects honesty from the New […]

McClatchy reports that doom is descending on America in the form of a plague of bedbugs: The biggest bedbug outbreak since World War II has sent a collective shudder among apartment dwellers, college students and business travelers across the nation. The bugs — reddish brown, flat and about the size of a grain of rice […]

Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times rolls up his sleeves to address a question that has liberals puzzled: What’s behind the anti-abortion frenzy? The recent finding that a majority of Americans are now pro-life is dismissed as “a hard rightward swing among Republicans and nothing more.” After all, “human rights are not determined by majority […]

Here is part 3 of the video critique. Please rate on YouTube. Enjoy!

There is a deep disconnect between the religious beliefs of most black Americans and how they vote. From a mid-2008 article in Newsweek, The more religiously active an American is, the more likely he is to vote Republican–unless he’s black. That fact emerged in the second part of a Pew Forum study on the landscape […]

Offering a proposal that the other side finds to be beyond-the-pale and telling them that you’re not really interested in their ideas doesn’t become a genuine attempt at bipartisanship just because you talk to them for 15 minutes over sandwiches, President Barack Obama’s first date with House Republicans didn’t end so well: He made a […]

Andrew Breitbart fessed up in a way only someone in New Media fesses up: fully, completely, and on the editorial page of a rather progressive Old Media paper, the Washington Times. I won’t reiterate his shame here. You can read it for yourself. Anyone who writes for a living makes mistakes. Some fall into the […]

Although Herbert Hoover is rarely cited when one thinks of “immortal words”, these few paragraphs from Hoover (from James T. Flynn’s “The Roosevelt Myth”, HT: the Heritage Foundation) should certainly give you pause: In every single case before the rise of totalitarian governments there had been a period dominated by economic planners. Each of these […]

One of the more bizarre comparisons, well at least for Star Trek fans, is Barack Obama to Spock. The idea here is supposed to be that Barack Obama is calm and collected like Spock. However, to begin with, it’s a little hard to see exactly what is supposed to make Obama more dispassionate or low […]

Here are the best quotations from Chin-Ning Chu’s book, Thick Face, Black Heart: The Warrior Philosophy for Conquering the Challenges of Business and Life When you conceal your will from others, that is thick. When you impose your will on others, that is black. — Lee Zhong Wu, P.7 The world has a tendency to […]

from Waxman’s anthropogenic global warming bill So on Friday came the details of Waxman’s “allowance allocation,” which is what he calls the ration coupons. That’s right: we’re all seven again, and the state is our Mommy, meting out our yearly energy allowance. Waxman released a two-page memo to describe the now 1,000 page bill, which […]

Minority Leader John Boehner has jumped into the “Nancy Pelosi says the CIA lied to her” fiasco. How soon will the Democrats and the media call the issue a “distraction from the issues that are important to Americans?” (h/t Ace) A key Republican leader demanded Sunday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi produce evidence to back […]

Bruce Bartlett gives you a different way of looking at the mess your political leaders, over a number of generations, have gotten us into and what it will cost, at a minimum, to fulfill the promises they’ve made over the decades. To summarize, we see that taxpayers are on the hook for Social Security and […]

Remember this one? “Edwards reaffirms key political question.” And this, its predecessor. Oh, did I get abused for this. Even by some pretty slick brains. How could I be so mean. Well. And… and… to Her. What were my mean old words? That he was either “a liar or a moral retard.” Yea-heah. Yes, now […]

It seems like every few years we have to have this debate about marijuana, and sometimes other drugs. But, in the era of hopeNchange, it is becoming louder and more open. We know that Attorney General Eric Holder has told the DEA to stop raiding “medical marijuana” dealers, er, shops. We know that El Presidente […]

Goodperson Fever (n.) is an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving the demonstration of certain positive attributes to strangers, for purposes of self-validation. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle if these positive attributes don’t really exist, or if there is a great need to achieve this validation for purposes of acquiring social status, contrasted with a much lower level […]

Fellow Right Wing News contributor William Teach brings us up to date, as of yesterday: If the Democrats thought the Central Intelligence Agency was out to get them over the past few weeks, they ain’t seen nuttin’ yet after this little bit of insanity House Speaker Nancy Pelosi today accused intelligence officials of giving her […]

A new un-shocking study showed us that people are happier as they age, that men are happier than woman, and that Republicans are happier than Democrats. Read it: Americans grow happier as they age, surveys find. And a new Pew Research Center survey shows the tendency is holding up as the economy tanks. Happiness is […]

Normally I am skeptical over these “This Line-on-the-Graph Just Went Past the Fifty Percent Mark” stories. I think they are generally much ado about nothing, since when you read them, the swing is something close to the margin of error. I also tend to think on some issues, people have an unrecognized need for conflict […]

So says one deranged KOSsack, by no means the only one, reacting to the news that Obama is backpedaling on releasing detainee abuse photos. Obama Shifts on Abuse Photos Releasing Images of Detainee Mistreatment Would Endanger U.S. Troops, President Says President Obama says the detainee abuse photos he wants to block from release are “not […]

Nancy Pelosi’s readiness to blame the Bush Administration, the “all-purpose political punching bag” of liberal imagination, for her own imperfections, indicates that President Obama has yet broken the “pattern in Washington where everybody is always looking for somebody else to blame.” If the President truly wishes to change the tone in our nation’s capital, he’s […]

Mike Adams is delivering his thoughts about some of the protesters he encountered during a speech he gave at UMass. Socialists are morally outraged without any source of morality. Finally, there is the brunette girl in the black shirt seen throughout the video. She got up and gave her own speech after mine was over. […]

…whose anger, inexplicably, is on the rise still even as their power has now become dictatorial and uncontested. It defies all reason, common sense, rationalization, explanation — this is exactly the flavor of anger normal people might have when they lose control of things. After a slow and steady buildup throughout the last eleven years, […]

The prophecy: A political emergency brings out the corn-pone opinion in fine force in its two chief varieties–the pocketbook variety, which has its origin in self-interest, and the bigger variety, the sentimental variety–the one which can’t bear to be outside the pale; can’t bear to be in disfavor; can’t endure the averted face and the […]

There is a a certain poetic justice in the travails of the Democratic Speaker of the House. She joined her partisan colleagues in the zeal to prosecute Bush Administration officials for what the MSM has labeled “torture memos.” And now it seems her grandstanding may cost her her job, possibly hurting her party’s standing with […]

John Hawkins of Right Wing News called for Sen. John Cornyn to resign from the National Republican Senatorial Committee after Tuesday’s endorsement of Charlie Crist in the 2010 Florida Senate race. Then Erick Erickson of Red State vowed “not one dime for the NRSC,” but that seemed like about nine cents too much for me. […]

I have an idea to throw out for you guys to chew on. Laer, at Cheat-Seeking Missiles, in an email asked why Jindal’s speech, which looks great on paper, got such a bad reception. The reception was bad on both the Left and the Right, so its being dissed wasn’t just a matter of media […]
