Harold Myerson Authors A Fireworks Display of Remarkable Unintelligence

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  March 1st at 11:30 AM  | 

The Washington Post treats us to a particularly fact-free, faith-based, disingenuous sermon from the Secular Gospel of Keynes entitled Sequestration Stupidity. The preacher, Harold Myerson, perhaps has handled one snake too many and the venom has enstupidated his brain. It seems he doesn’t care for sequestration. It makes him sad that government just can’t spend whatever it bloody well pleases. He laments the evil of people who believe that governments should live within a budget.

Like an uninspired, hung-over reverend, Myerson attempts to preach a set of moral values he does not practice using a parable that represents the world as the world is not. We get treated to homilies of the sort that follow below.

Remembering Andrew Breitbart: One Year Later

By: Breeanne Howe (Diary)  |  March 1st at 09:15 AM  | 

I smiled as I passed him in the hallway.  Surrounded, as always, by a group of people listening intently as he spoke animatedly in his uniquely captivating way.  He had stopped by the blogger room earlier in the day to brief us on the latest concerning Pigford.  I stopped short a few feet past him and paused to consider taking a picture with him.  I | Read More »

House & Senate Republicans Set to Endorse and Fund Obamacare

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  March 1st at 04:30 AM  | 

You want to know why the left is more successful at politics? They are willing to move heaven and earth to create new dependency programs, despite the electoral risks. They understand that once the program is implemented, Republicans will never have the guts to undo it. And they are correct. Even some of our best conservatives lack the gumption to do what it takes to | Read More »

The White House Must Make Sequestration Cuts as Nasty as Possible

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  March 1st at 12:02 AM  | 

The White House has an obligation to make sequestration cuts as nasty, painful, and inconvenient as possible. See, this fight has never been about what to cut, but whether to cut. If Americans see that Washington can be cut through sequestration without it being painful, Barack Obama loses. He must make it horrible on the public so that the public doesn’t ever want to cut | Read More »

Agenda: How Marxists Are Grinding America Down

“They had a three part agenda. They would use their manpower, influence and funds to back anything that would destroy our families, businesses and culture.”

Fracking: Drilling Past The Myths

By: Breeanne Howe (Diary)  |  February 28th at 05:30 PM  | 

It’s probably safe to say that most Americans are unaware of what the term “fracking” means.  If you’ve heard of it, the details can be hard to pin down due to the controversy surrounding the method of gas extraction.  With mainstream movies like Gasland and The Promised Land on their side, those opposing fracking have easily buried the truth below layers of myths.  Fortunately, as | Read More »

Google and Democrats deny that Google is helping Democrats

By: Ben Howe (Diary)  |  February 28th at 04:40 PM  | 

A couple weeks ago, I warned conservatives about Google’s entanglement with the Left, and the possibility that Google could provide data intelligence to Democrats. Not the usual consumer data that everybody uses, but a level of real-time behavioral data far beyond what Republicans could ever achieve using available consumer data. That concern was dismissed as a conspiracy theory by some people. The question isn’t whether | Read More »

GOP House Passes Unconstitutional Democrat VAWA Bill

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 28th at 03:22 PM  | 

Earlier today, the Republican-controlled House passed the Senate version of the unconstitutional Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).  The Senate bill expands “coverage” to illegal aliens, men, homosexuals, transgendered individuals and prisoners.  It  also expands the law’s reach to give tribal Indian authorities jurisdiction over non-Indians accused of abusing Indian women. The final bill passed with the support of 87 Republicans.  Before voting on this bill, the | Read More »

Colorado School District Wins Court Battle Over School Choice Innovation

By: Kyle Forti (Diary)  |  February 28th at 02:00 PM  | 

A Denver Court of Appeals has overturned every count of a local District Court’s earlier ruling against the Douglas County School District’s (DCSD) Choice Scholarship Program (CSP) this morning. While the court rejected the Plaintiff’s standing to bring any statutory challenge, it did recognize the Plaintiff’s standing to bring a constitutional challenge – which the court promptly found had no merit.

Defund Obamacare or Bust

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  February 28th at 08:06 AM  | 

It’s really simple, folks.  Everything boils down to Obamacare. Do we really believe that Obamacare will make private health insurance unaffordable? Do we really believe Obamacare will bankrupt the nation and relegate the next generation of Americans to a dimmer future of less freedom and opportunity? Do we really believe Obamacare will create incorrigible dependency? Dow we really believe that Obamacare will lead to a | Read More »

Yahoo! and Seriously Stupid Media Coverage

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 28th at 04:30 AM  | 

I begin this morning with a decidedly non-political topic. Yahoo! has a new CEO named Marissa Meyer. She just had a baby. She was criticized during her pregnancy for how she would or would not take maternity leave. Basically everything the lady does appears to be criticized. But the newest media outrage is perhaps the stupidest, most selfish bottom feeding outrage the media can muster. | Read More »

The Veiled Reference to Nixon

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 27th at 07:27 PM  | 

Bob Woodward was pretty clearly making a comparison between Barack Obama and Richard Nixon. Here is his remark: Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying ‘Oh, by the way, I can’t do this because of some budget document?’ Or George W. Bush saying, ‘You know, I’m not going to invade Iraq because I can’t get the aircraft carriers I need’ or even Bill | Read More »

Mitch McConnell’s voting record chickens come home

By: davidadamsinky (Diary)  |  February 27th at 04:30 PM  | 

Sen. Mitch McConnell has never been a big fan of the Club for Growth, a fiscally conservative Washington D.C. group committed to replacing moderate Republicans with fiscal hawks. It’s about to get a whole lot worse for him. The Club has released its 2012 Congressional Scorecard which shows Sen. McConnell with his lowest score since 2008. Think bailouts. The 2012 votes that could cost Sen. McConnell dearly | Read More »

PrimaryMyCongressman.Com: Possibly the Greatest Idea Ever

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 27th at 12:45 PM  | 

Club for Growth Action, which is one of the few conservative organizations on the right that actually puts their money where their mouth is, has an excellent new website up at www.PrimaryMyCongressman.Com They started with nine squishy Republicans but a spokesman tells me they will rotate other squishes in and out depending on how they vote. Folks, these Nine Congressmen and women are squishy, much | Read More »

George McClellan’s Ghost Must be Advising Congressional Conservatives

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 27th at 10:00 AM  | 

Forget John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. Conservatives in the House and Senate have been hit with the stupid stick. All I can think is that George McClellan’s ghost is whispering in their ear. The conservatives in Congress — forget Republican leaders for a minute — want to make their stand not on the continuing resolution to keep the government going, but on the debt ceiling. | Read More »
