Even crazy people can be factually correct

First, watch the video in this blog entry at American Thinker. Then let’s talk. Yes, I agree that Philip Berg sounds like a member of the tinfoil hat brigade. And he’s got a rather questionable history, since he’s a Truther. All in all, not a very reliable source. Nevertheless, as I learned in law school, […]

An American Carol and The Big Easy

I just got off the radio with Greta of Kiss My Gumbo, the New Orleans radio show/blog that discusses politics and culture in Louisiana (or, as I call it, “the other L.A.”). Greta’s show on 790 WIST in New Orleans goes live on-air on Saturday mornings, and as a consummate egomaniac I assume she scheduled […]

Who is Barack Obama, and what does he stand for?

And you aren’t allowed to use the words “hope” or “change”, or any kind of rhetoric. You’re only allowed to use specific examples of specific policies and specific positions he holds. It’s pretty hard, isn’t it? Throughout this entire election cycle, Barack Obama has maintained a carefully crafted image. He’s said himself that he “serve[s] […]

Mark Steyn acquitted in Canadian sharia case — but…

From my brand new article at PajamasMedia on yesterday’s verdict: The Canadian Islamic Congress issued a statement on Friday evening, putting the best spin possible on the outcome. “We are pleased that the tribunal acknowledged the article in question contained ‘numerous factual, historical, and religious inaccuracies about Islam and Muslims’ and that it attempted ‘to […]

Obama, Ayers and Their “Association”

What’s Obama’s latest dodge? Oh yeah, he didn’t know Ayers did all those things. Oh wait, that was the last one. Now it’s “I thought he was rehabilitated”. Well watch this [Not Safe for Work – language in one spot]: You know, I have to wonder what the reaction would be if David Duke had […]

The Palin Game!

Here’s an interesting little mental exercise to try. First, come up with a list of reasons to oppose Sarah Palin. Not her running mate; just her. Think back on everything you’ve heard. Every rationalization. Every supposed scandal. Every little blessed thing. You’re making an exhaustive list, here. From that, eliminate two things that are only […]

“Doesn’t Anybody Have a Conscience Anymore?”

Newsbusters again… Gov. Sarah Palin parachuted into a phone interview on the Laura Ingraham show in the last minutes of the program today at about ten minutes to Noon eastern. She urged citizens (and by extension, the media) to demand answers from Barack Obama and Joe Biden about Bill Ayers, ACORN, and Obama’s record of […]

Illegal Aliens with Illegal Mortgages

Newsbusters… A single report by KFYI radio of Phoenix, Arizona highlights a shocking claim made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD says that five million illegal aliens hold illegal mortgages. This is just one more example of the lax lending laws put into place by Democrats like Barney Frank that have […]

Best Sentence XLIII

John Stossel snags the forty-third award for the Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL): Everybody talked about the “freeze” in the credit markets, but why, I wonder, were the cable news programs that repeated the credit-freeze mantra pausing for commercials from companies trying to lend me money? He goes on… Ditech and LendingTree […]

Pretentious Snobbery Versus Common Sense

Dr. Melissa Clouthier dares — dares! — to make a distinction between the two. Sarah Palin inspires vitriol for many reasons among the smug knobby-headed class. The latest unguarded moment came courtesy David Brooks who called Sarah Palin a “cancer on the party” to a group of writers from The Atlantic. (As AllahPundit points out, […]

Q&A #95: Making The Impression You’re In Charge

Question: During the veep debates, Melissa spoke of Palin’s offering a handshake first as a sign of dominance or power. I work in a high pressure oilfield job. In what other subtle, professional ways can I show my clients that I am the one in control, and that I own the situation? Move with intention. […]

Quote Of The Day: The Danger Ahead

“The convergence of an economic crisis and complete Democratic control of Washington should alarm even those conservatives eager to wash their hands of the GOP. The best reason for even the most disaffected right-winger to root for a McCain victory is simple: To the extent that much of the progressive agenda is a program in […]

Obama’s Radical Muslim Outreach–In Private, Of course

Barack Obama’s surrogates have already begun their policy of “meeting without precondition”. If you fund terrorism or support terrorist groups morally, you will have a friend in the White House, should Barack Obama win the election. Gateway Pundit reports and has so much more. He says: “Surely, it must have been an accident that these […]

The RightBlogs’ Slate: Andy Harris Deserves Your Support

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Andy Harris. Harris is a conservative Navy vet running in a very Republican district, but he’s in jeopardy for the same reason you should particularly want to support him: he beat Chafeesque RINO Wayne Gilchrist in the primary […]

Q&A Friday #95: CEO Pay & Golden Parachutes.

Question: “I have heard attacks against CEO’s getting “golden parachutes” lately, because the economic downturn and the fact that we are paying for some of these in the numerous bailouts. This policy of awarding money upon firing is becoming standard practice, but can’t be good for the future of our corporations. Although I realize that […]

Q&A Friday #95: Can We Ever Go Back To the Pre-New Deal America?

Question: Will America ever stop subsidizing bad decision ie, will we ever get back the small fed that the founders envisioned, and we lived under until the New Deal?” — bthewolf Answer: That is highly doubtful, my friend, because only a teeny, tiny percentage of Americans genuinely wants to do that today and explaining why […]

Obama Campaign Caught in ACORN Lies

Having the media behind it has encouraged the Obama campaign to take the Audacity of Hype to appalling extremes of arrogance. Obama’s Fight the Smears site even denies that BHO worked for the Radical Left vote fraud outfit ACORN, even though it is public knowledge that he was a top trainer for ACORN brownshirts (or […]

Obama’s Illegal Meddling Has Undercut US Strategic Interests in Iraq

Apparently the Left’s messiah doesn’t want to wait to be elected before throwing a monkey wrench into our foreign policy: At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the […]

Q&A Friday #95: Is Healthcare A Right?

Question: “Is healthcare a “right” or a “responsibility”? — rrobin Answer: There is no such thing as a “right” that other people have to pay for. That’s why food, shelter, education, and healthcare aren’t “rights.” If we are foolish enough as a society to ever start treating healthcare as a “right,” there will be no […]

Day By Day’s Chris Muir Writes About……Me?!

Chris Muir the famous web cartoonist offers this bitter pill to leftists today: As a side note, since my specialty is preventative medicine, I would recommend no pills. A little red meat for the brain-addled vegans might be helpful, though. They invariably vote Democrat and it could all be cured with a good B-complex. With […]

Thought Of The Day: Real Election Numbers As Of Today

Looking at the last 10 national polls or so, the real numbers are probably something very close to Obama 48 vs. McCain 43. The undecided voters will probably break towards McCain at a better than even rate, but to have a chance, McCain needs to close that gap significantly in October. In other words, he […]

5 Reasons Independents Should Choose McCain Over Obama

Conservatives, liberals, and independents tend to have a different view of the world and all too often, pundits on the right and left end up preaching to the choir instead of putting out columns that make good sense to people who don’t necessarily share our political views. So today, I’d like to do something a […]

The Law of Unintended Consequences Strikes Again

And look how it has manifested itself this time: Nebraska’s “safe haven” law, intended to allow parents to anonymously hand over an infant to a hospital without being prosecuted, isn’t working out as planned. Got that? Key word “intended”. In fact, they intended to put a 72 hour limit on the age of the infant. […]

Should I Be Worried About A Visit From The Feds?

Via Michelle Malkin, Lufkin paper reports: A Lufkin woman received a surprise visit from the Secret Service last week because of a “death threat” comment she reportedly made about Sen. Barack Obama to a campaign volunteer asking for her support of the presidential candidate. Two federal agents arrived at Jessica Hughes’ home Thursday to ask […]

Interview with Brigitte Gabriel

Brigitte Gabriel, author of the bestseller, “They Must be Stopped,” and founder of ACT! For America, was gracious enough to take some time to talk to me about her book, which was published just last month. Favazza: Your book outlines some of the ways in which the Muslim Brotherhood plans to establish an Islamic government […]

Living Large in Socialized Housing

Britain shows us that socialism works as efficiently in housing as it does in everything else: Mother-of-seven Toorpakai Saiedi, 35, receives :£170,000 a year in benefits — a staggering :£150,000 of which is paid to a private landlord for the rent of their seven-bedroom house in West London. The detached property in Acton has two […]
