You know, I get more woozy listening to Barack Obama than I do drinking several boilermakers, each consisting of a shot of my favorite tequila (Sauza Conmemorativo) with a beer chaser (I also like 1800 Reposado). I’m listening to Barack Obama speak on Mark Levin’s show and it makes my head spin (full video here). All of a sudden we have a replay of history | Read More »

You know, we in the United States have been spoiled. Our Revolution to throw out our British masters was tough. But the British left us with some very good institutions from which to create an American government and society. The government implemented immediately after the Revolution, under the Articles of Confederation, transitioned fairly peacefully to the one we have under the Constitution. Even the Civil | Read More »

Greg Sargent and Adam Serwer get paid to be advocates for a leftist agenda via the Democratic Party. Serwer, who normally writes for leftist trash American Prospect has a post on Sargent’s Plum Line blog that is short on the Constitution and the law and long on snark. He links to one of his own posts at American Prospect, which links to another post by | Read More »

I don’t remember going to Chick-fil-A very often because there weren’t very many of their restaurants around where I lived in Illinois. Even in the part of Arkansas I live in the closest one is at least two hours away (the nearest good-sized city I live near has more Sonics restaurants than McDonalds). The couple of times I’ve eaten there I found the food pretty | Read More »

I took a glimpse at the left’s next attack on Palin. I thought it so stupid and petty as to be completely undeserving of a comment. I need to remember to stop underestimating how persistent the left is when pushing their deliberate falsehoods. The latest meme is their claim that Palin said the Soviets won the Space Race with Sputnik although it led to the | Read More »

Newsweek has a story that indicates the Obama administration may start pushing gun control. Apparently, gun control groups were not one bit happy that the President failed to mention anything about guns during the SOTU, which the White House says was intentional to avoid the appearance of trying to capitalize on the Tucson tragedy. But not to worry. The administration’s “never let a crisis go | Read More »

No, I don’t mean “Winning the Future”. There are three other observations on the SOTU I want to offer. First, Obama mentioned Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the other victims of the tragedy in Tuscon. That’s fine in and of itself since the event was so awful, especially since a child was murdered. There was nothing, nothing, about the atrocity in Pennsylvania where at least seven | Read More »

Disclaimer: I didn’t watch President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech or either response from Rep. Paul Ryan or Rep. Michelle Bachmann. I haven’t watched any of Obama’s speeches. For one thing, they’re boring. Second, they’re too long. Third, I can tell by reading them that they aren’t nearly as good as many would have us believe. His recent Tuscon speech was an exception; | Read More »

The pro-abortion zealots reach to great lengths to justify the barbarity they support. Thers at Whiskey Fire put up a snark-filled “rebuttal” to this RedState post from the Directors, replete with the typical dehumanization of the unborn, as if the unborn were somehow a different species, and an inane accusation that the RedState post might incite violence. But Thers isn’t alone; Media Matters also makes | Read More »

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is the most overturned court in the United States. One of the judges most frequently reversed is the Carter-appointed Stephen Reinhardt. Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued four rulings, all of which were reversals, all of which were unanimous, and two of which (here and here) were reversals of 9th Circuit decisions (the other two reversed 6th Circuit decisions). The | Read More »

Today marks the 38th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court travesty. As we’ve been horrified to learn, Kermit Gosnall ran a house of horrors that some would call an abortion clinic. If he and the others are guilty of the crimes they have allegedly committed, nothing would please me more than to see him and those others fried for their crimes. But | Read More »

This has to be the first course those on the Left have to take. Don Surber wrote a great piece that says a lot of what I feel. Surber restates the facts: Last week, the left quickly blamed the right for the national tragedy of a shooting spree by a madman who never watched Fox News, never listened to Rush Limbaugh and likely did not | Read More »

In a piece in the Arizona Republic, Clarence Dupnik proves why he has no business being Pima County’s top cop any longer. Dupnik discusses how he heard about the tragedy in Tuscon. The piece points out that Dupnik has been friends with the Giffords’ family for years, that the shooting had him feeling sad and in shock, eventually becoming angry. All of these emotions, even | Read More »

But in a good way. Remember that Stuxnet virus? Well, the New York Times has a long story on how it was a joint U.S./Israeli venture to undermine Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities. The key point is about a third of the way into the piece: The project’s political origins can be found in the last months of the Bush administration. In January 2009, The New | Read More »

The other day, I posted on Sarah Palin’s video regarding last week’s tragedy in Tuscon. I had said at the end that I hoped President Obama would keep politics out of his speech. To be fair, I think he did that; metaphorically speaking, I believe he made it a point to spank the Left, his support, for their completely outrageous behavior (Byron York somewhat disagrees, | Read More »

In his column “A Tale of Two Moralities,” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman once again reaches for the bottom of the sewer. He is covering for his thoroughly wicked column from earlier this week where he dared to lay a huge amount of the blame for last week’s tragedy in Tuscon on conservatives. Now he’s attempting to walk that back…without actually walking it back. | Read More »

Promoted from Diaries – Moe Lane. Great stuff (you can get to the video on her Facebook page). I don’t think I’ve seen this better said. Naturally, the Left has started targeting Palin (and targeting is the right word) for her use of the phrase “blood libel”, although the phrase is quite appropriate. Politico was the first to mention it, using the phrase in their | Read More »

I am thoroughly, thoroughly disgusted by the Left. They’ve gone down into the depths further than even I could expect. And yet, they haven’t hit the abyss. You can see this graphically by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in a hideous piece at HuffPo, “Tuscon: Time for Another Examination of Conscience“. Guess what he does? He not only blames conservatives for the killings in Arizona, he | Read More »

My wife and I will be traveling for a few days. So I will be offline for a few days. I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Cross-posted.

It’s apparent Senate Republicans have made some kind of deal with Reid and Senate Democrats. But why?
