Something there is that doesn’t love a wall

[ Yes, mixed metaphors can be a downer, but how else to express the silence of America’s Prophetic Voice, Jimmy Carter, regarding the other “apartheid fences”? As Soccer Dad points, out, whether in Belfast, Arabia, “and now, in Brazil,” they all keep out the unwanted, and are quietly ignored after initial bursts of interest by […]

Cap-and-Trade and Health Care – What’s The Status?

Some relatively good news and some bad news. The good news has to do with “cap-and-tax” as the WSJ article cited refers to “cap-and-trade”: Tennessee Republican Lamar Alexander called it “the biggest vote of the year” so far, and he’s right. This means Majority Leader Harry Reid can’t jam cap and tax through as part […]

N. Korea launches missile; Obama shows us what smart diplomacy is

So, the inevitable happened: North Korea launched a missile. Of course, they’re claiming it was just a “satellite” being launched into orbit. Right. North Korea defied international warnings and sent a rocket hurtling over the Pacific on Sunday, a launch President Barack Obama called an illicit test of the regime’s long-range missile technology that threatened […]

Obama Cool With U.K. Talking To Hezbollah

I’m sure this is something that he himself wants to do: ‘US OK with UK’s overture to Hizbullah’ The Obama administration is “comfortable” with the British government’s attempts to engage Hizbullah, a senior British diplomat asserts. Britain likens the attempt to engage Hizbullah, launched quietly this year, to London’s outreach to political leaders of the […]

The Chris Matthews Comedy Hour

Yesterday when “climbing” the Stairmaster, they had MSNBC on at my gym. I had quite a laugh watching Chris Matthews. He was talking about the President’s European trip. And while he didn’t quite get a thrill up his leg, I was wondering if they kept drool buckets on hand at MSNBC. He reported the trip […]

Can it happen here?

In an earlier post, I directed your attention to the incredibly disturbing footage of Pakistani village authorities brutally whipping a teenage girl before a throng of men, because she violated Sharia norms by being seen in public with her father in law. The footage is disturbing on many levels, not the least of which is […]

Levi Johnston has no class

With his appearance on the Tyra Banks show, Levi Johnston showed that he has absolutely no class whatsoever. He stuttered his way through a conversation about sex with Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, including whether or not the governor knew and if they used protection. Levi Johnston not only says he practiced safe sex “most of […]

The Mess Harry Reid “Inherited” from Himself

It seems to be the standard Democratic practice now to blame the economic crisis on George W. Bush as if Democrats’ hands were perfectly clean and they had done everything possible to prevent this from happening. Last month, the President said he “inherited” the budget deficit at the same time he was making plans to […]

So…. I’m Just Curious…

…are we now going to be treated to a reprise of the infamous “War is not the answer – for every terrorist we kill, we create 10 more who hate us!!!!” school of international relations? A Pakistani Taliban militant leader has claimed responsibility for the attack on a U.S. immigration center in New York state […]

Dude, Where’s My Country?

Congress seems determined to dispense with our freedoms. And to think these are the folks who called Bush a fascist: Steve Aquino at Mother Jones asks, “Should President Obama have the power to shut down domestic Internet traffic during a state of emergency? Senators John Rockefeller (D-W. Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) think so.” I’ve […]

Right Wing Radio Week in Review: March 30-April 3

It was Mark Levin‘s week. His just-launched book Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto went into its 11th printing, hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and inspired a nationwide craze. Thousands of fans waited on line for hours to get a copy at one particular bookstore. Hugh Hewitt talked to Levin about […]

Why They Hate Sarah Palin So Much

As Barack Obama continues to serve out Jimmy Carter’s second term, the nation has over three years to figure out what it really thinks about Sarah Palin. As of now, I think it’s fair to say nobody feels lukewarm about her. At all. You love her or you hate her. Much has been said about […]

‘Give ‘Em an Inch . . .’

“Over and over, we find ourselves fighting what is essentially a defensive battle against the forces of organized radicalism who insist that ‘social justice’ requires that we grant their latest demand. We know, however, that their latest demand is never their last demand. Grant the radicals everything they demand today, and tomorrow they will return […]

Russia’s New Found “Comrade”

A couple of paragraphs from a story about Obama and Russia’s Medvedev which seem pretty telling to me: Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev hailed Barack Obama as “my new comrade” Thursday after their first face-to-face talks, saying the US president “can listen” — even if little progress was made on substance. The Russian president contrasted Obama as […]

Abortionists as Saints

If liberals don’t succeed in totally suppressing Christianity, they can destroy it from within by subverting it. The Episcopal Divinity School has announced the appointment of a new president and dean, Katherine Hancock Ragsdale. Via Moleching It, here’s a sample of Ms. Ragsdale’s theological musings: And when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, […]

Tea Bag Terrifies Democrat

Those who say Tea Party protests won’t do any good are reminded that the mere sight of a tea bag is enough to send kleptocrat bureauweenies into paroxysms of terror. For example: Taxpayer tea parties have rattled some politicians in Washington, as thousands have gathered in cities across America to object to President Obama’s spending […]

Obama Calls America “Arrogant” During Speech In Strasbourg

(Apologies. I usually don’t cross-post so much this early in the day, so many other folks with posts tee’d up that need reading, but, I thought this info should get out) If nothing else, at least Obama is consistent with the far left progressive movements blame and denigrate America first, foremost, and always, opinion Later, […]

The Top 10 Self-Help Books Of All-Time

In my lifetime, I’ve read more than 1500 books and I’ve had a particular interest in psychology since I was a teenager. In fact, I liked Psychology enough to get a BA in it at college and I even toyed with the idea of getting a Ph.D and becoming a professional psychologist. So, I’ve read […]

Suicide Bomber Fail: “Hey, You People Get Away From Me!”

Well, they aren’t recruited because they’re smart or brave A would-be suicide bomber shot himself dead before hitting his target i.e. the funeral prayers for slain police official Fateh Rehman in Haryan Kot area of Dargai Tehsil on Thursday. Five police personnel, including Station House Officer (SHO) Fateh Rehman, Assistant Sub-Inspector Amir Khan and others […]

Applause: Not One Republican Votes For The Budget

When every last House member voted against the stimulus package, I wrote a post called, Rarely Do I Say This, But I Am Proud Of The Republican Party Today..” Well today, I’m even prouder, because every Republican in the House AND the Senate voted against Obama’s budget, which is the most grievous attack on America’s […]

Senate Republicans Shouldn’t Allow Al Franken To Be Seated

The mainstream media is running its own little campaign to try to get Norm Coleman to allow Al Franken to lawyer his way into a Senate seat that he lost at the ballot box. Here’s Chris Cilliza at Washington Post trying to do his part for liberalism by encouraging Coleman to concede, Should Norm Coleman […]

iPod And Other Obama Inanities

I’m trying to imagine how bad Barack Obama’s anniversary presents to Michelle must be. Last year, she got a signed Audacity of Hope. Lucky her! I’m joking, of course. I don’t know what gift exchanges go like in the Obama household, but if President Obama’s gifts to heads of state indicate anything, it’s not good […]
