Now They Are “Unauthorized Immigrants”

Well, I guess that is better then “undocumented immigrants,” since, apparently, everyone in the media, and some in the government, has documented all sorts of information on their lives. Pew Hispanic Center: A Portrait of Unauthorized Immigrants in the United States Unauthorized immigrants living in the United States are more geographically dispersed than in the […]

40 MORE Things Every 18-Year-Old Should Know

1) One of the two things I heard over and over when people talked about the original list with older people was some variation of, “I wish I had spent a lot less money on frivolous things and saved a lot more money when I was a teenager.” 2) The other recurring theme from older […]

Tea Parties – About Future Taxation, Not Necessarily Present Taxation

Much of the left, Steve Benen serving as a perfect example, are missing an essential point about the tea parties planned around the country. They aren’t about the level of taxation now. Instead, those attending them understand that with the massive spending undertaken by the federal government and the massive amounts of currency pumped into […]

Mourning Michigan: Part II

After visiting Michigan, my home state, this last summer, I wrote an emotional post expressing my grief at how the state has declined. It is still difficult to contemplate, because the place is so dear to me. You can understand why, then, this article from the Detroit News was difficult to read. Here’s the facts. […]

Sebelius Lied About Payoffs From Late-Term Abortionist

There may be more to Kathleen Sebelius’s rabid support for abortion than a dread of the patter of little feet. The tax cheat Abortion Queen was paid more for her fanatical stance than she’s been willing to admit: President Barack Obama’s health secretary nominee, Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, got nearly three times as much political […]

DHS to Target Conservatives

Now that the War on Terror is over (even if terror’s war on us has only just begun), what to do with the Department of Homeland Security? The answer: use it to suppress political opposition. From a DHS report entitled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” via Ace […]

I am Participating in my First Protest Tomorrow

It just hit me when I woke up today: I have never in my life participated in a protest. But, tomorrow I will be part of the Tea Parties. I have no idea what to expect. It is actually quite funny; the Right is just not involved in many protests. As P.j O’rourke has joked, […]

The Lengths Obama Had To Go To Get A Photographed Hug From Soldiers

The troops are considerably more popular than the media, either political party, Congress, or our deified President with feet of clay who’s working tirelessly to ruin everything good about America. That’s why having the troops like you is quite a big deal for a politician. Unfortunately for Obama, the troops tend to lean to the […]

How To Become A Full Time Conservative Blogger/Columnist

An email I received this morning read in part, “Since you are an established writer and a columnist for many websites, and I am new to this, do you have any suggestions as to how I can get published and/or more exposure on other websites? I’m also curious as to how conservative writers have been […]

Columbus Day Gone At Brown U.

Liberalism, political correctness, and stupidity on the march Brown University is taking the “Columbus Day” out of Columbus Day weekend. The Ivy League school’s faculty voted Tuesday to establish a new academic holiday in October called “Fall Weekend.” The long weekend coincides with Columbus Day. Hundreds of Brown students had asked the Providence school to […]

25 Examples Of Everyday Evil

When the average person thinks “evil,” he thinks of a cruelly-featured, sneering, bestial man wickedly twirling his mustache as he draws perverse delight from inflicting misery on his fellow human beings. People who fit the almost cartoonish definition we’ve grown accustomed to viewing as evil, certainly do exist — and we hear about those dictators, […]

GM Probably (Finally) Headed To Bankruptcy

After skillfully managing the bailout of GM and throwing billions of dollars in taxpayer money at it, our man Timmy (Geithner) has told GM to prepare for bankruptcy: General Motors Corp. is believed to be preparing to file for bankruptcy by June 1 after being directed to plan for a filing by the U.S. Treasury […]

Advice to a ‘Progressive’ Troll

“No, don’t start asking questions like that, Oliver Willis. Don’t begin wondering what kind of travel, food and lodging David Brock and Eric Burns bill to their Media Matters expense accounts. Don’t concern yourself with the kind of “swag” freebies and useful connections they accrue as executives atop the pyramid where you remain down at […]

Lawsuit Will Force Westchester County to Build More Slums

Organizing widespread squatting isn’t the Left’s only tactic for turning the entire country into a slum. Its favorite tool, given its thorough dominance of the legal profession, is the lawsuit. For example, in suburban New York, moonbats are suing to force local government to construct more slums at taxpayer expense. Westchester County officials are gearing […]

Overwhelming the Concept of Property

According to the Cloward-Piven strategy, society can be destroyed by overwhelming the system, causing the economy to collapse and paving the way for communism. The strategy explains the Democrats’ eagerness to run up debts too huge to be repaid, meanwhile vastly expanding the welfare rolls and other long-term entitlement obligations. Another example of overloading is […]

7 Ways To Spread Christianity For Easter Monday

Capitalism, conservatism, and Christianity are at the heart of America’s success and they’re always constantly under attack. On the political end, we’re fighting the good fight for conservatism and capitalism, but not enough people are digging in for Christianity. So, here are a few low key, low pressure ideas that anybody can do to help […]

Giving Republicans Positive Reinforcement

Are the Tea Parties actually discouraging Republican elected officials? Currently, Republican Congressmen and Senators are sticking together and voting against the horrendous Obama spending package. And yet, there is significant animus toward our elected Republican leadership. My co-blogger John Hawkins believes we should reinforce Republican politicians when they stick to core principles. I agree. And […]

An Obligatory Somali Pirate Post. Yarrrrr!

I suspect that I will rarely have a chance to say this over the next four years, but I think Obama did a reasonably good job of handling the Somali pirate crisis. All the Americans are safe, three pirates are dead, and we have one captured pirate. Personally, I think we should hang the pirate […]

Tea Parties And Liberal Angst

On the same day I had a Twitter conversation with Jane Hamsher, who is absolutely convinced that a nefarious plot by shadowy right-leaning organizations backs the Tea Party movement, I received this email from the actual people doing the Houston organization: Anyone having any meetings the next two days? Would like to stop by and […]

An Interview With Roy Beck, Head Of NumbersUSA

Right off the bat, let’s just get a little housekeeping stuff out of the way. How many members does NumbersUSA have and can you tell us a little bit about how fast you’ve grown? We established NumbersUSA in 1996. That’s when we put up our website. …When 9/11 happened in 2001, even at that point, […]

AGW Today: India Says No To Emissions Cuts

Treating Iran With Kindness, And Darth Cheney!

Things that are embarrassingly amusing: puppies on the beach, your friends drunk while you are sober, and members of the “reality based community,” such as Roger Cohen For Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, “a combination of ignorance and arrogance” under the Bush administration squandered countless diplomatic opportunities with Iran and […]
