Greed And Stupidity Not “The Banking Crisis” Caused This Mess

I’m sick of the euphemisms in the media about this recession. It’s the same old language assault. Joe Smith didn’t murder John Brown. Oh no, John Brown died in “alleged gun-related violence” or some such nonsense. In the case of the economy, greedy home buyers, lenders, and stupid government policy didn’t cause this economic mess. […]

Profiles in Hypocrisy: Gavin Newsom

While our civilization circles the drain as a result of the cultural corrosion and economic insanity they’ve imposed, liberals attempt to distract us with righteous crusades against make-believe menaces like bottled water, a favorite bugaboo of San Franfreakshow Mayor Gavim Newsom. But what’s this? This week, the City Insider spotted an almost empty case of […]

15 Reasons I’m Already Tired Of The Obama Era

15) The stimulus bill is the single largest spending bill in the history of humankind and yet, Obama is running around telling everyone how he’s going to cut the deficit in a few years. Obama claiming to be a deficit hawk — that’s like getting a lecture on honesty from Bill Clinton. 14) ACORN, which […]

Norm Coleman Fights to Defend the Democratic Process

I know I’ve expressed this before, but I really don’t believe that the current election contest between Norm Coleman and Al Franken is being given its due attention. With the very principles of our democracy at stake, the only reason I can see for this lack of exposure is that the left wing conspiracy within […]

Excerpt Of The Day #2: Postmodern Poverty

“…I went into the local Food 4-Less again the other day, a cut-rate, bulk-buy chain food store. The parking lot was full of late model trucks and cars–not the sort I prefer, but those V-8 monsters, loaded up with high-priced rims, wide tires, custom paint, tinted windows, oversized trailer hitches, the whole American shebang so […]

Shrillary Sells Out Tibet, Taiwan to Follow

Not all potential casualties of Chairman Zero’s disastrous regime are Americans. Some live on the other side of the world: Amnesty International and a pro-Tibet group voiced shock Friday after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vowed not to let human rights concerns hinder cooperation with China. Paying her first visit to Asia as the […]

Hooligan Mob to Target Coal Plant

Totalitarian regimes often require ostensibly independent action. An example would be the maniacal students who went wild during China’s Cultural Revolution, inflicting violence on those deemed insufficiently fanatical in their devotion to communism. Similar tactics will be required to push through the global warming agenda, which will entail radically restricting our liberty and lowering our […]

Eric Holder’s Racial Concerns

The Obama presidency thus far has been anything but post-racial. Rather, Americans have been reminded by Obama’s representatives that anyone feeling “over” the subject lacks courage. At the Huffington Post, Rinku Sin posits that Americans prove Eric Holder’s point when the deny that America is racist: Smartly, Holder noted that our goal should not be […]

Barack Obama Does Al-Qaeda A Solid

What Barack Obama’s decision to close Gitmo means in real terms: allowing a terrorist who may one day be responsible for setting off a dirty bomb in an American city to walk free, Binyam Mohamed was also planning to blow up an apartment block in the United States when he was arrested, investigators claimed. …U.S. […]

How Low Our National Debt Has Brought Us

Isn’t there something creepy and demeaning about having our Secretary of State publicly prostrating herself before the Chinese? Later, Clinton met Chinese women’s rights advocates at the US embassy but continued to steer clear of speaking on contentious human rights issues. Instead, while taping an interview on a Chinese talk show, she focused on the […]

My Ten Least Favorite Movies Of All-Time

Over at Hot Air, they’re discussing the worst movies of all-time and I have to respectfully disagree with some of their choices. Granted, I have odd taste, but I LIKED Showgirls, Waterworld, Battlefield Earth, Volcano, and Date Movie — all of which made their list. Granted, I’m not saying that any of these are my […]

Republicans Invading Your Privacy

It’s bad enough when Nanny-staters do it, but when the party of small-government and individualism and freedom gets in your business, it’s worse. At CNET via RedState: Republican politicians on Thursday called for a sweeping new federal law that would require all Internet providers and operators of millions of Wi-Fi access points, even hotels, local […]

“Dover Is Ours”

I have a good friend, a retired general officer, who served in the Pentagon during the invasion of Iraq and a year or so afterward. When I saw him at a military reunion a year ago, he told me about duty at Dover Air Force Base in DE in the course of our conversation. By […]

Why Does President Obama Hate The Constitution?

Via the BBC: Detainees being held at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan cannot use US courts to challenge their detention, the US says. The justice department ruled that some 600 so-called enemy combatants at Bagram have no constitutional rights.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Dope of the Week

Where to start with this joker: California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested that his party is out of touch with average Americans on the issue of health care. “You’ve got to listen to the people. If the nation is screaming out loud, ‘We need health care reform. We want to have universal health care. We […]
