Ed Morrissey says this about Bristol Palin’s unfortunate choice in baby daddy: In fact, I think a lot of people miss the point with Levi. Both sides seem to have forgotten that these are very young people who obviously have little experience in interpersonal relationships. The Left forgot that during the election when they pilloried […]

This should disturb a good number of you – it certainly did me. It shows you how effective the indoctrination of our youth has been. Don’t forget the radical students of 1969 are the tenured professors of ’09. It also demonstrates something else just as disturbing that I’ll get too at the end of the […]

A view of things to come? Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, the biggest bank controlled by the U.K. Treasury, plans to eliminate as many as 9,000 more jobs worldwide as it seeks to repay a government bailout. The cuts, which total about 5 percent of RBS’s global workforce, include 4,500 jobs in Britain. The […]

Chicago Citizens have taken to the streets to fill potholes in their community. Evidently, the Chicago government is so inept that potholes are left all over the city. This is a great demonstration of private citizens taking the initiative when the government fails, as it inevitably does. Ironically, now the City of Chicago is warning […]

In the Detroit Free Press, Jacob Appel crows that homosexuals are about to be granted even their most outrageous demands; so it’s time to demand more: Victory may require five or maybe 20 years. Yet I have no doubt that “don’t ask, don’t tell” and same-sex adoption bans will be as unspeakable and inexplicable to […]

It was bad enough having to watch Chairman Zero bowing obsequiously to the ruler of Saudi Arabia, land of most of the 9/11 hijackers. At least the humiliation was mitigated by the fact that Comrade Obama is a ghetto-dwelling community activist with very little political experience, and has no clue how to behave. But there’s […]

When it comes to the economy, our government is a like a clumsy oaf blundering through a China shop, smashing things left and right, and then snidely complaining about all the glass underfoot. Every major economic crisis this country has had in the last hundred years, from the Depression, to the S&L crisis, to the […]

This sort of overt, unapologetic discrimination towards Christian conservatives on college campuses is infuriating, not only because it’s occurring, but because so many Christians and conservatives just shrug their shoulders and let is pass, Spokane Falls Community College Claims Pro-life Speech Against Washington Law Not to be believed, but yes, SFCC “threatened Beth Sheeran and […]

One of the almost meaningless terms that you hear tossed around a lot these days, as if it’s some damning indictment, is “echo chamber.” As in, that’s “Just what you’re hearing in the conservative echo chamber” or “You just think that because you’re hearing it in the liberal echo chamber.” Here’s the problem: theoretically, that […]

The Miami Herald put it best, describing the Congressional delegation to Cuba as “The Clueless Seven.” Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), head of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), was joined by fellow members for a six day “fact finding mission” to the communist island. I am not sure exactly what they were fact finding, but it […]

A year ago, my co-blogger John Hawkins asked me to write at Right Wing News. I’m an independent person. I have my own blog. I like the freedom to write what I want to write. Still, John has a bigger audience and I believe the future is going to be consolidation. United, conservative writers and […]

At the top of the Drudge Report today is an ominous warning for people who care about the future of this country: NYT: Obama to push Immigration bill, While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Barack Obama plans to begin addressing America’s immigration system this year, including looking for a […]

Oh, man, er, person, this is just too precious Some of the leading liberal bloggers are privately furious with the major progressive groups — and in some cases, the Democratic Party committees — for failing to spend money advertising on their sites, even as these groups constantly ask the bloggers for free assistance in driving […]

Now that the dust is beginning to settle, what, really, was accomplished in what Anne Applebaum likens more to a sold out concert tour than a diplomatic tour-de-force. Well in the latter category it was more of a diplomatic tour-de-farce. The Obama administration had two goals in two important meetings on the continent. The first […]

In case you thought Democrats would accept any responsibility whatsoever for what they’ve done to the economy, watch the spittle spray when a student dares ask Barney Fwank on friendly turf at Harvard, How much responsibility, if any, do you have for the financial crisis? The answer to the question is: plenty. Judicial Watch comments […]

If we had been cursed with our current leadership during the rise of totalitarianism in Europe, would we have stood up to the Nazis? Here’s the answer: Obama nixed a stop at Normandy during his recent European trip, lest he offend Germans. If only he would start worrying about offending normal Americans who cling neurotically […]

There have been all sorts of articles written about Helicopter Parents and now, there’s a new trend called “slow parenting“. Slow parenting is just as the name implies–yank your kids out of activities and slow down. There is competing evidence, like came from Malcolm Gladwell’s book Outliers that kids do better with more activities and […]

Over the last few days, there have been a couple of posts that, in my humble opinion, influential and deep pocketed conservatives/Republicans would be wise to heed. The first was written by Danny Glover over at Accuracy in Media and was, happily, partially inspired by something I said even though Danny didn’t totally agree with […]

One of the biggest problems the Republican Party has had over the last couple of cycles is that our “leaders” have failed to lead. They haven’t paid attention to what their supporters want, they haven’t reached out to the base, they haven’t enforced party discipline, and they haven’t had the cohones to take on problem […]

For eight years, Americans have been given a steady media diet about how America would receive help from Europe if only George W. Bush would have been less cowboy and more diplomat. So now, America has President Barack Obama who is all hat and no cattle, and European policy is still selfish, short-sighted and really, […]

It’s generally considered over-the-top to compare modern liberals with communists, but that’s because it’s painful to accept such a harsh truth about fellow Americans, not because they aren’t nearly identical. Both Communists and liberals hate capitalism, the market, and successful people, they don’t have much respect for freedom, and they have a freakish level of […]

The first pitch Former President George W. Bush received a strong standing ovation from Rangers fans as he walked to the mound on Monday afternoon at the Ballpark in Arlington to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day. Bush threw a strike to Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, who was squatting behind home plate. […]

But, hold on a second, let’s find out why, so, put your shovels and rakes and implements of destruction down (using pitchforks is more of an Obama thing): Cartoon strip aimed at under-12s depicts Christian boy as Islamaphobe thug (full size photo at bottom of post) A Government-funded charity was at the centre of a […]

I just finished up Ann Coulter’s Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. The book was snappy, well researched, and fearless — in other words, typical Ann Coulter. Here are the quotes from the book that caught my eye, “Just as we’re always told that schoolyard bullies are actually deeply insecure, liberals rationalize their […]

“So there seems to be a certain sort of bipartisan consensus that the GOP is now fully committed to pandering to Buchananites, Birchers, goldbugs, gun nuts, Paulistas and sundry fringe types, and yet . . . I dunno. I’m not feeling the love here. . . . “How is it that Charles Johnson and Christopher […]
