AP Compares Comrade Obama to Gorbachev

In the sort of fawning puff piece than now passes for journalism, Obama’s toadies at AP have paid him the highest compliment they know how by comparing him to communist dictator Mikhail Gorbachev: While historic analogies are never perfect, Obama’s stark efforts to change the U.S. image abroad are reminiscent of the stunning realignments sought […]

Tea Parties & Making A Difference

The recurring question after the Tea Parties has been “what now”? Yesterday, I returned from the Sam Adams Alliance encouraged and more optimistic than I’ve been in a while about the direction of things. First, the winners of the awards are doing excellent work. Chad Everson of the GrizzlyGroundswell.com is empowering others in many states […]

The John Murtha Airport

If you want to know why conservatives think taxes are far too high, why tea parties have sprung up across the country, and why the government can’t be trusted to run private companies, take a look at this story. This sort of corruption, inefficiency, and incompetence is endemic to everything that our government does, The […]

George Will Instructs Us On The Evils Of Demon Denim!

I don’t know how I missed it last week, but George Will wrote what may have been the single most unintentionally funny conservative column that I’ve seen since I started blogging. It was called Demon denim, a name that he probably lifted from the 1920s campaign against “Demon rum.” On any American street, or in […]

Obama’s Chavez-Love And America Ambivalence

President Barack Obama didn’t just greet Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez, he gave him the hood handshake and the warmest smile he’s managed with any foreign leader. It’s not just that he shook hands with a socialist leader who is currently bankrupting his country, destroying the economy and cozying up to dictators and tyrants around the […]

Don’t Let Perfect Be The Enemy Of The Good

A.C. Kleinheider wrote a piece for The City Paper called The Tea Party revolution will likely be betrayed. Here’s an except from Kleinheider’s piece that gives you the gist of it, While many on the Right are energized by the level of engagement on display by grassroots libertarians and conservatives in last week’s “Tea Party” […]

Rep. Harmon Recorded Making Deal With Israeli Agents

I really wish those in the MSM would learn what the difference between a wiretap and electronic surveillance is: Wiretap Recorded Rep. Harman Promising to Intervene for AIPAC Rep. Jane Harman , the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she […]

Will Gay Marriage Cause The Next Civil War?

I love when the Credentialed Media disguises opinion as actual news. Of course, since bloggers tend to ignore Associated Press content because of their lack of wanting to share without payment, it took several days before someone actually noticed the missive, and linked it over at Fark, which usually catches things quicker: Gay Marriage: The […]

40 Classic Conservative Quotes

Note: Not everyone on this list could fairly be called a “conservative,” but all of the quotes represent classic examples of conservative thinking. 1) A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be […]

Where’s the Runaway Warming?

The global cooling trend that began early in 2007 continues. America’s official global reading for March, 2009 has been issued by Goddard Space Institute. The month was the coldest of this young century and colder than March of 1990. The satellite records show an even stronger recent cooling trend. Equally interesting, Goddard says this year’s […]

The Axis of Evil…Now

Byron York writes about the Bush speechwriter responsible for the term “Axis of Evil,” and his reflections on whether it fits today. Recently I called David Frum, who is a friend and also the Bush speechwriter who came up with the “Axis” concept. (He originally wrote it as “Axis of Hatred.”) Given the seriousness of […]

Recipe For Economic Disaster

A level of economic government intrusion is now being contemplated like none we’ve ever seen before. If you didn’t understand the one of the main purposes of the tea parties, perhaps this will help. But what Obama rarely says about ending the “cycle of bubble and bust” is this: he’s prepared to intervene to make […]

Meghan McCain…At it Again

She’s trying to play down a feud she had a few days ago…and the best way to do that, in her young ditzy mind, is to warn of an upcoming civil war within “her” party. Meghan McCain warned a group of gay Republicans Saturday that there was “a war brewing in the Republican Party” – […]

Obama Gets Shown Up Again By Another Socialist Latin American “Leader”

Sigh … PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago — President Obama endured a 50-minute diatribe from socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that lashed out at a century of what he called terroristic U.S. aggression in Central America and included a rambling denunciation of the U.S.-imposed isolation of Cuba’s Communist government. Obama sat mostly unmoved during the speech […]

Ka-Ching Memorial

“I have been to the mountain and I have secured the rights to the promised land!” Emancipated, yes, but poorly managed IP-wise The AP reports that the pimps family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. got $800,000 for “the use of his words and image” on the national memorial to his memory on the […]

Torture Documents: Who Cares Part II

Back on the 17th, I wrote about the Right not really caring about the torture mild discomfort that stone cold Islamic terrorists were put in as a means to gain intelligence. This was in response to an Excitable Andy screed about most on the Right ignoring the issue. And, for the most part, most of […]

Honing our arguments

This morning, I asked a question about the sexual innuendo behind the word “teabagging” (since other bloggers have noticed a sneering, locker room quality to MSM reports on the Tea Parties). To date, there have been 94 comments on that post. The first few dealt with the question itself. Then, a liberal came to visit, […]

The Devil in Contemporary Left-Wing Mythology

According to Zarathushtra, the great prophet of Zoroastrianism, “the world is divided into good and evil“, with Angra Manyu, “the spirit of darkness and lies,” ruling the forces of evil. While today’s left doesn’t have a Zarathushtra, they do have their Angra Manyu, George W. Bush. Even now, nearly three months after that good man […]

Daily Kos Sees America as a Woman

The left-wingers on FARK are just giddy over the creative-writing genius of bernardpliers at Daily Kos, who came up with the idea of envisioning the Republican party as a deranged ex-boyfriend of a woman who was America. Said FARK libs found this so uplifting, they celebrated in one of the few ways they know how…they […]

Preposterous!!!

The nerve of these folks – shielding some wingnut just so he could criticize the President of the United States without disclosing his identity! … the right of scared Bush officials to participate in public debates without being identified is hardly some noble journalistic value — former Bush officials have not exactly been shy about […]

They’ll Be Workin’ On The Railroad …

Well here we go – the government apparently plans on getting further into a business in which it has no track record of success. Yes friends, if “Amtrak” doesn’t remind you of why this isn’t a good idea, how about doubling down on it? You remember Amtrak: In FY 2007, Amtrak earned approximately $2.15 billion […]

Tea Parties And The Protection Of Taxpayer Money

Hard-working Americans came together on Wednesday in cities and towns across the nation for one purpose – to send a message to Washington that they are tired of footing the bill for the wasteful government programs that won’t create jobs or turn the economy around. The spending and taxing are just part of it. In […]

Congrats To Melissa Clouthier For Winning A Sammie

My co-blogger and right-hand gal Melissa Clouthier is going to be representing Right Wing News at the Sam Adams Alliance blog awards, the Sammies. Melissa won the “Microblogger of the Year” award for her twittering, which is extremely sweet, not just because it’s great to be recognized, but because there’s a $2,000 payday for winning […]
