This has to be the funniest thing I’ve read in awhile, and the fact that it is coming from the loony goons at Think Progress is dripping with irony: “Clinton: ‘There Is Not A Single Solitary Example’ Of A Country That Has Succeeded With A Tea Party Philosophy“. As it is campaign season, Clinton is doing what Democrats do, putting the interests of the Democratic | Read More »
There is nothing so dangerous as the faux “outrage” of Democrats over Republican policy. Over at HuffPo, there are two stories embedded into one regarding drug testing that new Republican governors Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Rick Scott of Florida want implemented. There is a lot missing in both stories, perhaps deliberately so, perhaps not.
The other night, the President said he was going to provide a bill to Congress called the ASOJA, the American Save Obama’s Job Act, or as the President calls it, the American Jobs Act. Morrissey has it right; it’s Porkulus II: Electric Boogaloo. It’s a nearly $450 billion rehashing of the failed Porkulus boondoggle that launched this administration’s historic increase to the national debt. Worse | Read More »
The Obama administration may call it Operation Odyssey Dawn, but I think my name is more appropriate. This is Obama’s war. Worse, it’s a war seemingly without a legitimate foreign policy goal; it also follows the administration’s lack of real outrage at the release, by the British government, of the Lockerbie terrorist al-Megrahi (who still hasn’t croaked). Full Disclosure: I would love to see Qaddafi | Read More »
While it would be easy to blame Barack Obama for Eric Holder being the Attorney General, and he does deserve half of the blame, Senate Republicans didn’t take the step to make sure Holder wasn’t confirmed. As Attorney General, Holder is a joke; he’s worse than Janet Reno, worse than Alberto Gonzales, and nearly as bad as Ramsey Clark and John Mitchell. Yesterday, Holder was | Read More »
This needs to be the conservatives’ fight song for battling the Fleebaggers and public employee union thugs. Since I am a devotee of heavy metal, this is perfect. Turn it way up. Inspired by Michelle Malkin: When rules are lobbed, mobs rule.
Last August, the Washington Post sold Newsweak Newsweek magazine for a buck to a 91-year old stereo equipment magnate Sidney Harman, who also assumed the periodical’s debt. Three months later the Daily Beast merged with Newsweek. The cheap purchase price from the Newsweek buy has allowed the Daily Beast to entice Andrew “Excitable Andy” Sullivan, the “conservative” pot-smoker and “expert to the masses” on all | Read More »
I’ve seen arrogance before, but I’ve never seen such arrogance in the federal government as it is exhibited by the lawless Obama regime. Even after Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) rejected $2.4 billion for what would eventually be the expensive high-speed rail boondoggle subsidized by Florida’s taxpayers, the attempt by U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) to put the Democratic Party’s interest ahead of the state he | Read More »
When mentioning conservatives, leftists (progressives, liberals, socialists, or whatever phrase du jour these people use to describe themselves) try to claim that we are narrow-minded, inflexible troglodytes, stuck with quaint and antiquated ideas, living in the past, yadda, yadda, yadda. The most vile leftists will take it a step further, but this post isn’t about that. What is fascinating is the irony of these descriptions; | Read More »
OK, the article on this doesn’t actually say that, but I couldn’t pass it up. It’s a report of a huge increase in ice on the Baltic Sea. It’s extended beyond 250,000 square kilometers (sorry, I don’t convert metric), one of the worst in recent memory: The last time so much of the Baltic was frozen was the winter of 1986-87, when ice covered nearly | Read More »
Well…not exactly. It isn’t that man-made global warming is the cause of these uprisings; it’s the policies, what I call the dogma of the religion of Anthropogenic Climatism, being used to “fight” it. For years, the Dept. of Agriculture has subsidized farmers, especially those growing corn, to funnel their harvest towards the production of corn-based ethanol and biofuels instead of as food; as a result, | Read More »
I’ve been saying recently that Tea Party and other conservative protests need to include a demand that the entire lawless Obama regime resign since they truly have no business being in their positions; after all, this is the standard Obama set regarding the removal of Hosni Mubarak as President of Egypt. So I’ve been thinking about past successions to the office of President that have | Read More »
The South Dakota state legislature recently put together a bill to update a justifiable homicide law that added protecting the unborn from criminal harm in its classification. Pro-abortion fanatics had a cow. The deceit was so bad the legislature shelved the bill for now; they wouldn’t even work on fixing the language in the bill. The zealots are back in force as Nebraska and Iowa | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. There was one thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post. Kessler actually provides the definition of a particularly critical word; ironically, she completely undermines the definition in the same paragraph, then then spends the rest of the opinion further undermining that definition because it doesn’t fit her political views. But this | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. So another Clinton-appointed federal judge, Gladys Kessler of the D.C. District (part of the D.C. Circuit), ruled the Obamacare mandate is entirely Constitutional (via Gabe Malor). In a pig’s eye. While Kessler does grant standing to the plaintiffs (something other Democrat judges haven’t done in many of these Obamacare cases), her “analysis” regarding | Read More »
Statists in the federal government and in Florida are pretty upset with Republican Gov. Rick Scott canceling Florida’s high-speed rail project. The statists are so upset they are willing to ignore the election that put Scott into office to keep the boondoggle alive. It would be comical if it weren’t so dangerous. As reported by the Miami Herald, one of the leaders of these statists | Read More »
Brian Beutler at TPM said Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker “ginned up” a “budget shortfall“. As if on cue, Jamelle Bouie at The American Prospect said Walker’s deficit reducing plan was “a ginned up crisis“. Political fiction writer Steven Benen (that’s what his posts are) says Walker is insincere. The Constitutionally confused Ezra Klein claims the “Badger State was actually in pretty good shape. It | Read More »
Did any of you know about this story? I lived in Illinois for 45 years and didn’t hear about it anywhere, and definitely not by the Democrat media: A federal jury found Thursday that 16 former workers with the Illinois Department of Transportation were fired seven years ago by representatives of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich because they were Republicans. The story in the Peoria Journal | Read More »
Via DrewM. at AOSHQ and Andrew Stiles at The Corner: The costs of those coverage expansions—which include the cost of the subsidies to be provided through the exchanges, increased outlays for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and tax credits for certain small employers—will be partially offset by revenues from the excise tax on high-premium insurance plans and net savings from other coverage-related | Read More »
