Obama Slurs Fellow Americans Yet Again

It seems that there isn’t a segment of people who oppose Obama’s agenda, or just happen to be a talking point, that he won’t insult. He went after Rush. He went after Joe the Plumber. He insulted Nancy Reagan. He insulted Special Olympians. He had his little DHS report, which some on the Left still […]

Eric Holder: Putting Gitmo Terrorists In American Hotels?

In George Bush’s America, the government worked to kill terrorists and keep them out of the country. In Barack Obama’s America, the government brings the terrorists into and puts them up in hotels. At another point, a questioner earnestly asked of those Guantanamo detainees who are believed to be innocent could be put in a […]

The NRSC’s Specter Strategy: Bait The Libs Into A Primary

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has an anti-Arlen Specter page up that is purely designed to make liberals angry with him. For example, here’s a video featuring George Bush talking about how wonderful Arlen Specter was from 2004, Here’s another one featuring Rick Santorum talking about how Arlen Specter isn’t a liberal. Now obviously, these […]

An Interview With Mark Levin

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to interview wildly successful radio host Mark Levin, author of the #1 book in the nation, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto. What follows is a slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! Let me play devil’s advocate right off the bat here. What would you say to […]

Obama Says Enhanced Interrogation Techniques Have Made Us Less Safe

Really? Seriously? I wonder what proof does he have? President Obama on Wednesday acknowledged that enhanced interrogation tactics such as waterboarding may glean information from terrorists but said that those techniques constitute “torture” and that the country is made safer by not using them. “I will do whatever is required to keep the American people […]

Late Liveblogging: Obama’s Waste Of Time Press Conference

* Just noticed people talking about Obama’s press conference on Twitter and figured I should liveblog it. He just said waterboarding is torture — which, of course, is why lefties keep having it done to them and put it on YouTube. When do we get a lib sticking bamboo shoots under his fingernails? Oh, yes, […]

The “Economics” of Obama’s First 100 Days

I put economics in [“”] for a reason. And that has to do with the fact that there was little about the first 100 days which had much to do with economics and certainly wasn’t economical. Feast your eyes on this. It’s from the GOP. Check out the quote attached to the chart: Heritage also […]

Freakazoid Awarded $500,000 of Your Money

America is still the land of opportunity, even now that it’s ruled by liberals. Here‘s how you can make a quick half $million at taxpayer expense: A federal judge has awarded a former Army Special Forces commander nearly $500,000 because she [sic] was rejected from a job at the Library of Congress while transitioning from […]

Caution: Public Pervert Crossing

It’s thoughtful of Holland to show a little consideration for those who haven’t yet completely succumbed to degeneracy: A park near Amsterdam has unveiled information signs pointing out spots where officials say gay men are known to have sex, so visitors are not taken by surprise. The signs “clearly indicate what is happening in each […]

Government-Run Health Care & Your Right To Be Chubby

How fat is too fat? Don’t worry, the government will soon have an answer to that question and your health care will be determined by that answer. From TheHill: Health reform radicals howl when it’s pointed out that the board’s true mission is to determine which treatments are “cost-effective,” claiming that language in the law […]

Could Specter Face A Democratic Primary He Can’t Win? Oh Yeah…

Arlen Specter jumped ship from the Republican Party for a very simple reason: he was practically guaranteed to lose a Republican primary to Pat Toomey. You can be sure that Specter, in return for his betrayal, received promises of support from Democratic heavyweights if he’s primaried from the Left. However, consider the situation…. #1) Specter […]

The Obligatory Swine Flu Post

Despite the fact that Swine Flu has been a hot topic, I’ve stayed away from writing about it for a simple reason: it’s hard to tell if this is another heavily hyped SARS that will end up killing one person for every 300-400 stories that are written about it — or a real killer that […]

Polls

Here are some interesting poll numbers. I provide my explanation below. According to the Washington Post-ABC News Poll: 35% of Americans consider themselves Conservatives, while only 23% consider themselves liberal. Nevertheless, 21% of Americans consider themselves Republicans, while 35% consider themselves Democrats. According to Rasmussen: 41% of Americans would vote for their district’s Republican candidate […]

Why The Republican Party Is Psychologically Out Of Whack

“I would rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who really believe in principles of limited government, free markets, free people, than to have 60 that don’t have a set of beliefs.” — Jim Demint “(Arlen Specter) is what the party needed to be. They need to cultivate more Specters instead of deriding him as […]

Hillary Says US Ready To Lead On Ruining Economies For Fake Issue

And she is not worried about letting those pesky human rights issues get in the way, either, as we already know After eight years largely on the sidelines of the international policy debate on climate change, the United States is prepared to lead negotiations toward a new global warming treaty, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham […]

Five Democrats Arrested For Crossing Police Line

Imagine what the outcry would be if it was five Republicans. I wouldn’t have had to run across the story by accident Five members of Congress and three activists were arrestedon civil disobedience charges in front of the Sudanese Embassy on Monday for protesting “crimes against humanity” in Darfur. The congress members crossed a yellow […]

The Increasing Opacity Of The Obama Administration

As you’re seeing demonstrated in the machinations concerning GM and Chrysler, not to mention the attempt to pass the card check legislation, unions are a favored constituency within the Obama administration. And it gets even better: The Obama administration, which has boasted about its efforts to make government more transparent, is rolling back rules requiring […]

Reckless Flight

Of all the reckless, insensitive, brazenly wasteful and dangerous things to do, the Obama Administration is now responsible for “traumatizing” residents and workers in the New York- New Jersey metropolitan area. Embedded video from CNN Video The best part? That Obama’s Director of the White House Military Office did not even take the precaution of […]

Obligatory Arlen Specter-Is-A-Turncoat-Scum Post

Will Arlen Specter be as big a thorn in the Democratic flesh as he’s been for Republicans? Doubt it. His ideological home has been the left for as long as I’ve paid attention to him. I’m still irritated as hell that President Bush threw his weight behind Specter who gave him nothing but fits about […]

How AP Works Its Moonbat Magic

Considering that the Marxists who have taken over the government are plunging the country into economic ruin, it’s remarkable that even the libs at AP could come up with a poll indicating that 48% of Americans think the country “is headed in the right direction” — since that direction is obviously straight down. But like […]

Democrat Rule Made Simple

Via Policy Watch, a few graphs explain what it means to the economy to let moonbats run the country: Imagine what our prospects will look like after four years of this. On a tip from V the K. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

Specter’s Sell Out Gives Obama The Best 100 Day Gift Ever

Just yesterday, I wrote a post noting that Arlen Specter could not beat Pat Toomey and that the GOP leadership needs to start thinking of ways to ease him out. Today, the big news is that Arlen Specter is switching to the Democratic Party. Is that coincidence? Yeah, probably is, actually. So, what now? Well […]

Obama’s Live Action Recreation Of 9/11 In New York

In an act of supreme narcissisitic idiocy, one of Barack Obama’s planes did a very low level flight over New York with fighter jets flying close behind. This, quite naturally, created a major panic in New York with people screaming in the streets and buildings being evacuated. So, what was the purpose behind Obama terrifying […]

Junior Mayoral Aid Reprimanded For Air Force One Photo-op

The context As secret missions go, this one was a flop. On Monday morning, one of the 747s used to ferry around the U.S. president was dispatched to the Statue of Liberty, escorted by a fighter jet. Assignment: Get some fresh glamour shots of the plane. The Air Force said the flight needed to remain […]

Obama Administration Silent On Real Torture In UAE

If anything shows that the whole torture case is a political debate, meant simply to go after Bush, mostly because the Left is deranged and cannot MoveOn, this does Following an ABC News investigation last night that showed a Royal Sheikh from the United Arab Emirates mercilessly torturing a man with whips, electric cattle prods […]
