You might think that potholes should be repaired. You might even think that’s what the government is there for. But no: repairing potholes costs taxpayer money that could better be used for bureaucrats’ salaries. Besides, potholes serve a purpose: they’re like speed bumps, but even more effective, because the bigger they get, the more they […]

Even at left-leaning USA Today, if you ask a stupid question, you will sometimes get the obvious truth for an answer. A poll at the liberal fishwrap asks, “Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?” The current results: If the next USA Today poll question is “Does Saturday come after Friday?” […]

Us Michiganders or is it Michiganians are good at lots o’ things. Procreation has got to be at the top of the list. I mean, look at this guy: Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with 13 women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support. A Michigan newspaper reports 42-year-old […]

At a pro-life dinner last night, Sarah Palin talked about her fleeting thoughts of abortion when she learned she was pregnant with Trig. It was beautiful, sincere, and humanizing because it comes across as so personal and real… (Realizing I was pregnant) blew me away, it rocked my world… It was a time I asked […]

Per USA Today, advocates of illegal immigration are debating whether or not illegals should cooperate with the census, Some Hispanic advocacy groups are calling for illegal immigrants to boycott the 2010 Census unless immigration laws are changed. The move puts them at odds with leading immigrant rights advocates and creates another hurdle in the Census […]

Matt Drudge over at The Drudge Report doesn’t do commentary, but he does remember all the news headlines from years past. …..And when someone, usually Democrats — because they’re used to being given a free pass for their foibles — does something that’s outrageously hypocritical, Drudge loves nothing more than to pancake them by printing […]

Your humor story of the day The US President is weak, the Spanish leader is dim, the German Chancellor is clinging on to France’s coat-tails and the head of the European Commission is irrelevant. That, at any rate, is the world according to President Sarkozy, who has spent the week airing his unvarnished opinions of […]

“I had no idea how important this week’s nationwide anti-tax tea parties were until hearing liberals denounce them with such ferocity. The New York Times’ Paul Krugman wrote a column attacking the tea parties, apologizing for making fun of “crazy people.” It’s OK, Paul, you’re allowed to do that for the same reason Jews can […]

The first of these Tea Party pictures from Yorba Linda, California explains what has the Dems and their toadies in the media running so scared: Compliments of Joi W. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

I’m proud to report that the Arizona Capitol Tea Party here in Phoenix was a tremendous success, with attendance clearly much higher than the Arizona Repugnant‘s “more than 5,000” would lead you to believe. Never have I been surrounded by a friendlier, more well-mannered group of people. The contrast to the smelly, antisocial riffraff that […]

For those of you who believe that you can spend yourself out of debt and enjoy the same level of taxation, a little dose of economic cold water is in order, appropriately on the day after tax day. Many economists, including some who voted for Obama, do not believe that he can indefinitely avoid imposing […]

Well, self-love is all the rage. So why not substitute yourself in Jesus’ parables and not mention his name? From Dawn Eden: And so it came to pass, beneath Gaston Hall’s beautiful painting of Morality, Faith, and Patriotism, with gold letters on the wall behind him spelling the Jesuit motto “Ad majorem Dei gloriam”–“To the […]

Please send this around to everyone you know and rate it. I was at the same protest that Susan Roesgen attended. Check it out.

I’m going to tell a story in pictures today. Since the Left, including the Legacy Media, simply cannot display any empathy–that is, since they are incapable of putting themselves in someone else’s shoes–perhaps pictures will help them “see” what we on the Right see. Then again, maybe not. Imagine being a conservative woman blogger. I […]

Or, does she? Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano apologized to veterans after a report issued by her department said troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were at risk for being recruited by right-wing extremists. “To the extent veterans read it as an accusation — an apology is owed,” she said in an […]

OK, I’ll admit, I did not attend the Raleigh Tea Party, perhaps it is a sad excuse, but, the Carolina Hurricanes were playing the NJ Devils (my team) in the first round of the Playoffs at 7:30pm, had responsibilities to get food and beer. As I am sure quite a few other people had, as […]

* The Left has never been as freaked out by Al Qaeda or the Soviet Union as they are over the Tea Parties. * Sign #899 that Obama is polarizing America: I listened to Michael Savage tonight for 30 min and agreed w/ everything he had to say. * Liberals love to think of themselves […]

With newspapers across the country going deeper in the hole by the day and some of them, happily, finally going out of business, perhaps it’s understandable that they’re increasingly lashing out at the new media sources that have been chipping away at their support. However, when the old media makes bad arguments designed to encourage […]

Because there were so many tea parties and so many bloggers covering them, it really isn’t possible for me give them all the attention they deserve. So, what I decided to do instead is post some of the best pics I found from around the blogosphere, From Urban Infidel at the New York Tea Party. […]

Yesterday, I went to the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. It was a lunchtime Tea Party that ran from noon to 2 PM. Now, Myrtle Beach is not a particularly large area. The population is only roughly 30,000 people and so the Tea Party was a bit smaller than a lot of the ones in the […]

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano reacts to the uproar over the, and I use the phrase very loosely when referring to it, “analysis and intelligence” report released by her department on “rightwing extremists”: The primary mission of this department is to prevent terrorist attacks on our nation. The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by […]

A man’s home is not his castle, but the government’s plaything, according to environazis like Scotland’s Richard Dixon: Homeowners who do not to take action to improve the energy efficiency of their properties should be treated as criminals, one of the country’s most influential environmentalists said last night. Dr Richard Dixon, director of WWF Scotland, […]

Proving that there is nothing (other than subservience and parasitism) that the government won’t try to regulate out of existence, bureaucrats are now going after the practice of owning pets. While it waits for the gargantuan spending it has set in motion to sink the economy, Congress busies itself by once again reaching into your […]

Dan Riehl says it’s the spending. So does Betsy. Glenn Reynolds calls them, in the Wall Street Journal, a “they’re really a post-partisan expression of outrage.” Michelle Malkin talks repeatedly of “generational theft“, as in people are protesting robbing our children to pay for the current generation’s mistakes. MaxedOutMama brilliantly discusses the economics of things. […]

Liberalism has become increasingly indistinguishable from Mussolini style fascism since Obama got into office and the latest example of it was on display at UNC-Chapel Hill last night. UNC-CH police released pepper spray and threatened to use a Taser on student protesters Tuesday evening when a crowd disrupted a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom […]

It’s hard not to notice, although the mainstream media is certainly trying, that the Somali pirates never had the guts to take an American ship when George Bush was in office. So, after being emboldened by Obama’s weakness, the pirates took their first American vessel. It didn’t work out so well for them and I […]

Well, he did say he would sit down with Mohmoud Ahmadinejad without any pre-conditions. I supposed this is a step in that direction The Obama administration and its European allies are preparing proposals that would shift strategy toward Iran by dropping a longstanding American insistence that Tehran rapidly shut down nuclear facilities during the early […]
