Kevin Hasslett explains how the Democrats in Congress have, despite campaigning against pork-spending, have found ways to get their pork and eat it too. They were all virtuous about the pork that Republicans had inserted into bills as symbolized by the notorious Bridge to Nowhere. The Democrats trumpeted their paygo solution that they wouldn’t put […]

There’s a reason that many liberals just adore Barack. Americans of the progressive persuasion often enjoy their political beliefs distilled into the simplest form possible — the bumper sticker — and since Obama is limited almost entirely to a single sentence when he attempts to express his political position, the whole thing jives quite well. […]

Obama’s hard-left connections just don’t stop. Not only was he mentored in high school by rabidly anti-American Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, now it turns out he had a close relative in Stalin’s Red Army. Here’s B.O. claiming that his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz: The embellishment about the heroic uncle not coming out of […]

Megan McArdle writes about racism and conservatives (via Instapundit). The comments are really interesting. Go read them. The opinions range from a self-righteous defense of white guilt to diminishing the contributions of prominent black conservatives because they’re not really conservative. So let me get this straight: Liberals are better than conservatives because they feel bad […]

Soaring food prices have inspired British farmers to place increased production ahead of moonbattery. The Observer is not pleased: Government-backed environment schemes (ELS, or entry level stewardship) are having to compete with market pressures on farmers as crop values escalate. […] The Observer can reveal that a survey by the National Farmers’ Union shows that […]

We all know Republicans are in a heap of trouble. The question though is do they? Members of the House of Representatives seem to be getting the point. From the top down there have been conservative, back-to-basics proposals coming out of the House. John Boehner began to move after the Gingrich-memo to adopt some of […]

From the Horse’s Mouth “You got into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these […]

Over at the Daily Kos, diarist Shef makes the case for white guilt, mixes it in with a hefty dose of anti-Americanism, and perhaps most ironically, uses it to try to make a case for Obama while denying that he’s doing so, Tracy Jordan, a character on 30 Rock, played by Tracy Morgan, convinces Liz […]

I’m not sure what’s more painful to watch: Hillary’s wildly over enthusiastic fake smiles early in the video or her clumsy, rhythm-less dancing, which occurred soon after. Either way, it’s like a truck full of chickens running off the road and crashing into the middle of the world’s largest ant-hill; it’s horrific and you’re just […]

Despite the fact that the planet hasn’t warmed very much over the last century, that it hasn’t gotten warmer over roughly the last decade, that it isn’t expected to get warmer over the next decade or so, and that over 31,000 U.S. scientists deny man-made global warming, the fanaticism of the global warming alarmists doesn’t […]

Just when you think Congressional Dems can’t get any loonier (Maxine Waters and nationalizing oil), they kick it up a notch. From the guy who yesterday was featured essentially saying, “hey, we lied, but you were dumb enough to buy into it“, PA’s own Paul Kanjorsk, we get this little beauty. From the Tax Policy […]

The Obama campaign’s race-baiting has not just had repercussions on Hillary’s presidential run, but also in the state she represents in the Senate: Even as she continues her longshot presidential bid, Hillary Rodham Clinton faces a political rift in New York, where black leaders say her standing has dropped due to racially charged comments by […]

Apparently, they do not find Islamic terrorist videos to be hate speech. You know, video’s that call for the destruction of, well, basically anything not to their liking. With violence. They are essentially telling us what they want to, and will, do. But, hey, they apparently have a constitutionalright to do this, as opposed to […]

The Iron Lady: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton quickly apologized Friday after citing the June 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in defending her decision to keep running for the Democratic presidential nomination despite increasingly long odds. “I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy […]

One of the things I do over on my site every Sunday is post a patriotic pinup, the painted types. This one is a few years old, added in the flag background. Never been able to figure out who the artist is, though Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for […]

In light of renewed interest in the Orwellian “Fairness Doctrine” — aka the “Hush Rush bill” — Obama’s latest blatherings are particularly ominous: A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There’s a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year. If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush […]

This video is great in that it shows that two people who disagree do not have to be hateful to each other or make personal attacks to prove their point. Washington could take some tips from Ellen. John McCain appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, where she asked him about gay marriage. Kudos to John for […]

After this, I cannot WAIT until McCain gets to actually debate Obama in front of a live audience. Obama’s gonna get schooled, son! First, Obama tried to make McCain look like he didn’t care about veterans. Bad move number one. Here’s Obama’s statement: “I respect Sen. John McCain’s service to our country,” Obama said on […]

Well, I guess we all gotta read the thing, but… Unlike all the big shots quoted in the article, I’m as far from the Beltway as you can get. No wonder my analysis differs so much from their’s. Here’s the real problem with Establishment/Movement Conservatism: It refuses to address the very issues that working class […]

I’ve been pondering some of the posts at RWN this week and thinking about what conservatives have to be optimistic about. Despite the fact that this year’s presidential election features a far-left Democrat against a RINO, there are still plenty of reasons for hope. One of them is that, despite concerted and extreme Democratic Party […]

I thought it might be fun to laugh after this day of McCain misery.

My Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President has drawn a lot of comments and a lot of links. With that in mind, I wanted to follow-up on a few things. First of all, I have spoken to a representative of the McCain campaign this afternoon and the spin was similar to […]
