[UPDATE 6:30 EDT : the government has imposed a curfew from 4pm today till 6am tomorrow] Multiple sources (Reuters) (AP) report that ousted and exiled former president Manuel Zelaya is back in Honduras, hidden for the moment in somebody’s embassy and therefore out of the reach of authorities, who have promised to arrest him and try him for treason if he re-appears on sovereign Honduran | Read More »
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama’s 20-year association with preacher Jeremiah Wright became toxic when the magnitude of Wright’s anti-Americanism and racism came to light. When pressed, Obama grudgingly distanced himself from Wright, carefully orchestrated and packaged by the press as some sort of ‘falling out’. He first said “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community” before later conceding | Read More »
You may have missed this crisis if you get your news from the alphabet soup partisan media, who have mostly failed to cover it except to misrepresent it in favor of Obama. You are probably not surprised to find that Poland and the Czech Republic are not the only loyal and faithful American allies getting screwed by the Obama Administration these days. The ongoing drama | Read More »
The federal government has effectively unfettered control over one school district in all of America : District of Columbia Public Schools. It is one of the worst in America, combining the normal graft and chicanery of Democrat inner city political machines with the spectacularly incoherent guiding hands of 536 little czars. I’m sure you’re just as shocked as I am that the DCPS spends the | Read More »
He was probably a pretty good community organizer. He’s got the right connections (terrorists, rabble-rousing racist preachers, tin-pot dictators, Chicago political machine), he’s got the shtick, he sounds reasonable, he’s personally magnetic. He’s got his Alinsky studies down pat. He’s got union muscle behind him. I don’t think the demands of actual leadership and governance matter to him one whit, so one can excuse his | Read More »
Get used to the term ‘new low’. Obama is at 46%. In a short 7 [ed.] months, Obama and the Democrats have completely busted the gigantic piggy bank of public good will they began with. I won’t recite here their well-chronicled drunken spree of bullying, dishonest, underhanded, bait-and-switch tactics that have served to tank a fragile economy and betray the trust of Americans. Amusingly, while | Read More »
We tried to keep it a secret. Lord knows we did. For at least 3 years conservatives have been lulling the Democrats into thinking we are not the keepers of an over-arching, dark conspiracy to bring America evil things like free markets, deregulation, government of the consenting, free speech, low taxes, small government, freedom of religion, strong national defense, and other evil, arcane, discredited ideas | Read More »
Everybody is aware of political polls. Most conservatives view most polls as suspect at best, a propaganda tool of the American left. Demonstrating the foundation of that suspicion is not required to make my point, so I won’t bother, but a typical conservative will dismiss out of hand any poll not from Zogby or Rasmussen. While both the majority media and the political left have | Read More »
We have winners! To remind those who forgot or didn’t know, we had a contest Wednesday. With yet another prime-time Bambi press conference coming up that night, I had already determined not to let that uninspiring dolt waste a perfectly good hour that I would rather spend doing almost anything else. I was not alone in that sentiment, as 88 RedStaters submitted 155 entries for | Read More »
Imagine playing basketball where the referees always give you every break. You get every call, you never get called for traveling, carrying, or fouling anybody else, even if you pile-drive them into the ground. You drive the lane, elbow people out of the way, and they get called for a foul. If somebody enters your 6-foot foul halo, they get whistled. No matter if you’re | Read More »
So, Obama decided to just throw another one in the face of Constitution-loving, freedom-loving Americans, just to remind us that he won. Big surprise, that. He picked a tax cheat of dubious skill to run Treasury. He picked a crook and Clintonista bagman for Attorney General. And so on – a cabinet and administration full of stooges, yes-men, crooks, and thugs. So since nothing else | Read More »
It’s a good thing that Bambi campaigned on “bringing America together”. And it’s a good thing that the Democrat Party claims to have “a long and proud history of representing and protecting the interests of working Americans and guaranteeing personal liberties for all.” Because if they didn’t say so, I wouldn’t know it. If you have not been introduced to David Axelrod, you should be. | Read More »
Various outlets are reporting that Obama’s Press Secretary Robbert Gibbs has given his boss a B+ for his first 100 days in his Obama Love Fest presser today. Since the Obama Administration, while in disarray when it comes to actual management and governance, still excels in message control, let’s not think for a single second that Gibbs would volunteer his own opinion about Bambi’s performance. | Read More »
[h/t Jaded, for my extensive pilfering of her work here] In a somewhat more perfect America, a huge parade would have been held in Los Angeles, honoring and celebrating the CIA — yes, the Central Intelligence Agency — once it was made public that the city had been spared a repeat of the 9/11 terrorist attack, due to intel gathered by the CIA from captured | Read More »
Now, the official Obama administration policy is that being a conservative makes you a threat to the security of America (actual report in pdf form here). Being a military veteran makes you doubly suspect as a dangerous subversive. It is clear from Napolitano’s non-apology when cornered on it, that the directive came from higher up [i.e., Obama himself], and further, that they have no intention | Read More »
How many of you guys know some *other* guy who is henpecked to death by his backbiting shrew wife, who sucks the joy out of his life, won’t let him sit down for one minute to enjoy sports on TV, and gets insanely jealous any time he happens to cross within 20 feet of the path of a woman who looks better than she does | Read More »
UPDATE : it comes to my attention that the official teleprompter himself disputes my characterization of the relationship. All I can say is that I trust my VRWC spies more than I trust him. ———————————————————- [Original Post follows here] Inner workings at www.BaskInTheIncredibleAwesomenessOfMe.gov [redirects whitehouse.gov] show a tempestuous relationship between the POTUS and his binky. During TObama’s meteoric rise to fame and electoral success, it | Read More »
[h/t RottDawg, Jeff Emanuel, and ABG] Presidential Ass-Hattery of the Day: To Leno, and clearly adrift from binky his TelePrompTer, about his bowling ineptitude : “It’s like Special Olympics.” Ah, no, Barry. Actually, it’s nothing like Special Olympics. This…… ….is like Special Olympics. They offer dignity to people who legitimately need help. They defend the weak. You defend the lazy, the dishonest, the professionally offended, | Read More »
Two questions for you, class; Raise your hand if you thought Al Queda wanted Bambi to win the election over the fighter pilot. Yes, I see, pretty much everybody has a hand up. Some of you wise guys with two hands. Hands down now. OK, second question. How many of you thought that Al Queda’s endorsement of Bambi signified that Bambi’s ‘Surrender First’ policy would | Read More »
