Empty rhetoric and meaningless lines: the Obama non-presidency
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | February 14th at 05:59 PM |
After Tuesday night’s State of the Union (5 down, 3 to go!), nothing has changed: Barack Obama remains a Marxist caricature, his presidency vapid by historical standards, and his leadership style exemplar of fecklessness… You wouldn’t know it by the applause in the House chamber, nor by the booming economy that never stopped booming around the Beltway, but this recovery is no recovery outside the | Read More »
Benghazi: the Great Media Whitewash…. a National Disgrace
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | October 30th at 05:19 PM |
Recently, as Fox News broke new revelations that the White House received exigent requests for help during the Benghazi consulate attack, I went to see what the Big Three were running. As reported earlier on our Facebook *page: NBC website–NO coverage; headline: Auto bailout comments hurt Romney in car country…. CBS website–NO coverage; headline: Will white men sink Obama? …. ABC website–one obscure mention, softball headline…. | Read More »
The Campaign Hurricane e-mails: Obama seeks $$, Romney sends prayers
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | October 30th at 04:46 AM |
Wow. I never get used to it… As hyper-informed and cognizant of the evil/buffoonery/cravenness of this administration as I am, I never get used to the petty, maladroit, and moronic e-mails with which they pepper their base. No–I’m not part of the base, but my masochistic side subscribes to Obama-blasts, Moochelle-blasts, Messina-Axelrod-Springsteen-Sheryl Crow…. You get the point: masochism. None so painful as this shameless tripe | Read More »
ObamaCare, the Supremes, and Catholic delusion
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | June 15th at 05:09 PM |
We’re now weeks, not months, away from the Supreme Court ruling on ObamaCare. Looking back, I remember comments by Fidel Castro upon passage of the law. Until that time, we’d “lagged Cuba” and been denied the “right” to have technocrats control health insurance via “progressive” planning. We achieved “common sense.” The complaint, that “America is the only western nation that denies health care,” had been | Read More »
Conservatopia: Rumination on Reality, 5-30-2012
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | May 30th at 07:55 PM |
The nation is tired, not mentally (though there is that), but tired – as in sick-and-tired – of anyone who shares an opinion at odds with another opinion being called a bigot, a racist, or worse. Racism exists, and always will in America, but the Left is soiling the subject. Those dedicated to remunerative anger – the Sharptons and Jacksons – are modern day rakes; | Read More »
Dishonor in Death: The Left “eulogizes” Andrew Breitbart
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | March 5th at 05:58 AM |
The body was still warm, Andrew Breitbart’s spouse and children in pain, when the Tweets started rolling in. As anyone who followed Andrew knows, he was famous for retweeting the onslaught against him–every vile, disgusting f-in this or f-you that on his account. Even in death, the onslaught persisted, and so – to honor him – I seized the mantle, retweeting and recording, | Read More »
Remembering Breitbart: a Roman Candle Star
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | March 1st at 04:58 PM |
Andrew Breitbart passed away last night. Breitbart, lightning and lodestar, was activism personified, a raging pioneer in the media revolution. Courageous, fearless, tireless…. He was these and more, an adjective train–irascible, irreverent, iconic, IN YOUR FACE. I’m reminded of another Andy– Kaufman. Both men were controversial. Both gored the ox, punked paradigms, and “flipped tables.” But unlike Kaufman, Andrew was serious, his focus keen on | Read More »

Failure to Honor Washington: a Triumph of the Left
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | February 20th at 09:58 PM |
On this, what would have been George Washington’s 279th birthday week, Americans will go about their business, a free people, without acknowledging – nor celebrating – the man whose toil on their behalf was measureless. I say “free people,” sadly aware that we’re becoming less free, and that diminution of Washington symbolizes the push to “alter” history to make this so. This, of course, | Read More »
Bill Maher and Tim Tebow: Self-loathing vs. Grace
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | December 31st at 05:28 PM |
Now that Christmas is over and atheists can crawl back into their holes until Easter, Bill Maher’s now infamous “Tim Tebow Tweet” requires perspective. The tweet, posted on Christmas Eve day, read: Wow, Jesus just f**ked Tim Tebow! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler “Hey, Buffalo’s killing them.” Maher was referring to the Buffalo Bills pounding the Denver | Read More »

Game on: Pawlenty calls for phase-out of ethanol subsidies
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | May 24th at 04:54 AM |
Tim Pawlenty is serious. I’ve been saying for awhile that a ticket with Pawlenty, a two-term governor from Minnesota, at the top, and a galvanizer – an Allen West or a Marco Rubio – at the bottom, can bring the White House to Republicans. Going forward, boldness is needed, and in Des Moines, Iowa, Pawlenty came through. In a speech entitled “A Time for Truth,” | Read More »
The Reagan Legacy: Osama bin Laden dead
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | May 8th at 05:15 AM |
d Yes, it’s true…. As hard as it is to believe that Barack Obama didn’t single-handedly take out Osama bin Laden between black-tie galas and lining-up putts, there’s another iconic president we should thank: Ronald Reagan. When the Gipper took office, U.S. Special Forces and Tactical Unit Teams were under-funded, under-trained, under-manned and in disarray…. But, as Thomas Mcardle writes: With the same visionary perseverance | Read More »
Muslim sensitivities? What about AMERICAN sensitivities, Mr. President?
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | May 6th at 04:58 AM |
Honestly, I haven’t been this addled since the early morning hours after my first pint of vodka. But as the O-administration spins, we can at least be confident that it’s clueless to the core. The decision to not release images of Osama bin Laden dead is one made by a president more concerned about the sentiments of our enemy than American citizens. “Reach out” goes | Read More »
Soldiers Without Boots: defeating the Left through social media
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | May 1st at 05:25 AM |
“I will cut the deficit in half in my first two years.”
~Barack Obama Friends, all of us, in an era of progressive mindlessness, must speak loudly and often in defense of the truth. My Facebook page, Soldiers Without Boots, is 100% dedicated to defeating progressives through the use of social media. Below are page “statuses,” composed by me, above articles presented there.

Listing of lizard may shut down Texas oil
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | April 27th at 04:35 AM |
You can’t make this up. First, a Spotted Owl destroyed the timber industry of the Pacific Northwest, then a minnow turned the most productive agricultural land in the world into a dustbowl, and now, as energy prices spike and the economy sputters, they’re going after Texas with a scurrilous reptile. Specifically, the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard. That’s the latest more-important-than-people critter being used to lock-up resources | Read More »
From Hope and Change to Duck and Hide: Obama swings left
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | April 27th at 04:26 AM |
Is this guy for real? The transmogrification of Barack Obama, who when he’s not getting down with Jay-Z is out spewing clap-trap on the Fantasy Tour, has mired him squarely in the political gutter. Anyone who’s been to the pump lately – or for that matter, a Benghazi rocket battle – has to know that he lacks leadership, is a community organizer, and practices a | Read More »
Pelosi and Dems cash-in in Wisconsin
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | March 14th at 05:17 AM |
Call me a glutton for punishment, but in order to keep an eye on the moonbat crowd, I receive e-mails from Nancy Pelosi. Every time there’s a “crisis,” she’s there, cranking the spigot for cash, cash, cash. When Jared Loughner unloaded in Tucson, dollar-signs filled her orbitals. And, yes, the rise of “extremists” in Wisconsin – the one that puts its public employee collective bargaining | Read More »

Fighting campus speech-codes with FIRE
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | February 18th at 05:03 PM |
Speech-code. Sounds like something from George Orwell’s pen or a Stephen King tale, but it’s not. According to Adam Kissel, from the Foundation of Individual Rights in Education, two-thirds of college campuses enforce speech-codes, violating the 1st amendment rights of their students. Thanks to FIRE, however, codes are being challenged, speech is alive, and awareness is being raised. While two-thirds isn’t good, this is down | Read More »
Message to Congress: Don’t “fix” ObamaCare
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | February 4th at 11:59 PM |
In the wake of Judge Vinson’s evisceration of ObamaCare, it appears that the plaintiffs – the attorneys general and governors of the 26 states involved in the suit – are recognizing their power. While the administration pretends nothing happened, they’re standing up, as they should, against the law. From the WSJ: “For Wisconsin, the federal health care law is dead,” Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen | Read More »
Sorry, Bill Maher, the NFL is not socialist
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | February 1st at 05:57 PM |
Sorry, Bill Maher, the NFL is not socialist Bill Maher, the Hollywood Jesus-hater who receives talking points from Playboy Bunnies, is at it again. In a recent article, he claims that the National Football League owes its success to “socialism,” that it thrives, not because of capitalism but due to redistribution of revenue amongst teams. A critique of his theory – that the sharing of | Read More »
Glenn Beck, Restoring Honor, and Leftist Delusion
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | September 10th at 06:55 PM |
Say what you want about Glenn Beck, a polarizing figure on the American landscape, but don’t argue that last weekend’s rally, his spiritual lollapalooza, lacked miracles. No, angels didn’t descend from the clouds (though, if you saw the geese fly-over….) and no, it can’t be said, because it can’t be quantified, that honor was “restored.” But it is a miracle when a paunchy Mormon activist | Read More »
Obama job approval at 78% among Muslims
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | September 1st at 01:55 AM |
It comes as no surprise, though it is revealing, that of all the religions in America, the one giving the president great approval is the one of which he speaks fondly. In the latest Gallup poll, taken July 31st, Islamic Americans say they approve of the job the president is doing by a 3-to-1 ratio. War rages (he’s keeping his “eye on the ball”) and | Read More »
Taliban Muslims hang seven year-old “spy”
By: greghalvorson (Diary) | June 10th at 08:23 PM |
Taliban Muslims hang seven year-old spy It won’t be above the fold, beneath the fold, or behind the fold of the New York Times, but Muslims (which is what the Taliban are) made news today. First, they turned the vows between a groom and his bride into a bloody living hell, blowing up a wedding and killing dozens of guests. And, second, they hanged a | Read More »
