I think Mark Levin, on his radio show last night, asked the right question: is Al Sharpton running the NFL? The last I checked, he didn’t. But Sharpton sure seemed like he did when he announced, loudly, that Rush Limbaugh shouldn’t be a part-owner in an NFL team. Using the racist fear-mongering and outright race-baiting lies that are the hallmark of leftists, Limbaugh was dropped | Read More »
I don’t know about you, but I never saw this coming. I guess this is a consolation prize for not getting Chicago the 2016 Olympic Games. Simply unbelievable: President Barack Obama made history again Friday, winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Riiiiight. Sure he did. You know what Obama’s done? Made speeches. That’s | Read More »
UPDATE: Erick Erickson links to a piece by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) in Human Events. As they say, read the whole thing. It’s just another example of how Obama is continuing the “revolution”, doing everything he can to destroy the previous administration. Original post: I realize that there are a lot more pressing items to discuss, but this has been floating around in my head | Read More »
Just when you thought the left couldn’t sink any lower, they can surprise even me. I moved to NW Arkansas 6 months ago. For over 45 years, I lived in the Chicago suburbs. I knew Chicago Mayor Richard M. “Shortshanks” Daley* had been making a push to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago for quite awhile. Like so many of those that still live | Read More »
About a year or so ago, Secretary of Goldman Sachs the Treasury Henry Paulson warned the country about the nature of toxic assets, those securities, valued in the trillions of dollars, that were so dragging the entire financial industry into the toilet and the country towards another economic depression, forcing the government to bail out several banks, bail out insurance giant AIG, and bail out | Read More »
The tea parties, town hall protests, and the huge September 12th gathering in Washington D.C. were remarkable not only because of the numbers of people involved, but because they were peaceful. Even leftist SEIU thuggery didn’t incite the violence that Obama-worshiping hacks keep complaining about. As a comparison, the usual suspects of anti-capitalist leftist nuts attempted to protest beyond where their permits allowed and a | Read More »
From the BBC: The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former US President George W Bush says he was tortured by senior government officials while in jail. Well, who did it? Shortly after his release from nine months in a Baghdad prison, Muntadar al-Zaidi demanded an apology – and said he would name the officials later. Ah, those people. The dreaded “people to be | Read More »
Newsweek has a nonsensical piece about the object of the outburst by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) during Barack Obama’s rant on health “reform” last week, the new health bill allowing for illegal aliens to be covered by taxpayer-funded health insurance. Andrew Romano, the author, finally gets to the gist of his point a few paragraphs in: The only problem? From a purely economic standpoint, insuring | Read More »
The quoted part of this post’s title comes from DRJ at Patterico’s; the pictures say it all. There is a link to Cliff Thier at American Thinker who opines: Mark today [ed. note: Sep. 12, 2009] as the date that the mainstream media put a gun in its mouth and pulled the trigger. Then of course, there is Kanye West at last night’s MTV Video | Read More »
It seems Bill O’Reilly didn’t think the outburst by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) during President Obama’s “speech” was warranted. Apparently, the reason for Wilson’s outburst, Obama’s constant lying throughout the rant “speech” culminating in the mendacity that the health “reform” the President wants wouldn’t include illegal aliens, wasn’t good enough for O’Reilly. One of the people O’Reilly had on to discuss this was Ann Coulter. | Read More »
Eight years ago on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, my wife (we weren’t married then) and I were in Virginia Beach on vacation. We had gone to Virginia the previous Friday to go to the NASCAR race in Richmond, then spend a few extra days relaxing on the beach. On Sept. 10 we were sitting on the beach, and off in the distance we saw an | Read More »
You can tell our President is a leftist because he is ready, willing, and able to cajole and berate his fellow residents with agitprop and dishonest propaganda, but refuses to treat America’s enemies with anything but outright deference. Did you hear the lies that were coming fast and furious? I could swear his nose grew out all the way to Pelosi’s San Francisco office. Here’s | Read More »
Obese beta-male Michael Moore has a new film out called “Capitalism: A Love Story”. The end of the film, according to this piece by Reuters, states the following: “Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil,” the two-hour movie concludes. “You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.” As you can | Read More »
As noted by CNN (where I first saw the story) and here at RedState, self-avowed Communist and Obama “Green Czar” Van Jones resigned from his position around midnight. As is obvious, it was done during a holiday weekend and while the President was on “vacation” so that Obama didn’t have to worry about having to answer pesky questions from the media, provided they bother asking. | Read More »
I’ve been following along with the saga of President Obama’s “Green Czar”, someone who can’t define what a “green” job is (nor can anyone else), the self-avowed Communist Van Jones. The push to get him removed has done much to further put on display Obama’s past and present associations with outright radicals, and showing Obama to be as unserious as any of these people who | Read More »
I hate, vehemently, when anyone attempts to rewrite history. It’s bad enough when the left does it; but when done by conservatives, it drives me nuts. Pat Buchanan wrote a book recently that seemed to say that it was Winston Churchill who pushed Nazi Germany’s Adolf Hitler into expanding World War II and, in effect, driving Hitler to commit The Holocaust. I lost all of | Read More »
Remember this video? This was shot when then-Gov. Sarah Palin went to Kuwait in 2007 to visit her state’s National Guard troops. The AP has a story today about Palin. Here’s the opening paragraph [emphasis mine]: Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September. The last I checked, | Read More »
I had wondered why Barack Obama appointed Leon Panetta to be the new Director of the CIA. I’m now thinking that Panetta was put into the position to help Obama ferret out information from the agency in order to get AG Eric Holder to file trumped-up charges against high-ranking members of the Bush administration, including George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, for the supposed “misdeeds” | Read More »
Ed Morrissey has written some good stuff about last year’s Consumer Protection Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in response to a problem created in large part by Mattel’s recall of 2 million toys, made mostly overseas, after it was discovered that they contained large amounts of lead. Unfortunately, the law allows the Consumer Product Safety Commission to require resellers at thrift shops and garage sales to | Read More »
Bud Fox: I guess you’re a decorator? Darien Taylor: You got it. A great spender of other people’s money. To me, there exists nowhere a more apt description of the legacy of modern-day, left-wing “liberalism”, statism (H/T: Mark Levin), as preached by the late Ted Kennedy than in this quote from Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. Whether he was personally generous is something I don’t know, | Read More »
