Jimmy Carter Helpfully Spreads Anti-American Claims Overseas

21. September 2009

0 Comments

Specifically, he helpfully suggests while in Columbia that the United States was behind a 2002 coup attempt against Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. It’s a claim likely to help feed Chavez’s paranoia, provide more excuses for him to take even more freedoms away from his citizens, and generally spread anti-American sentiments. On Sunday, Jimmeh told the Colombian [...]

Guardian: Obama To Reduce Nuclear Weapons

21. September 2009

0 Comments

I’m all for reducing the number of nuclear weapons worldwide, so don’t misunderstand my position here. But the Guardian reports that Barack Obama will reduce our stockpile of nuclear weapons without Russia or China agreeing to do the same or Iran making any concessions. We’re literally just talking about the United States and Great Britain [...]

Seven former CIA chiefs, including two who served under Bill Clinton, are telling Attorney Eric Holder to drop his witch hunt against the men and women keeping America safe. Holder launched the probe earlier this year to distract from the failing Democratic policies of the White House and Congress, as well as the politically-disastrous comments [...]

DNC Speaks Harshly, Carries Little Twig

How do you know Democrats are getting desperate in their failing attempts to socialize America’s health care system? They’re now promising unimaginable pain, pain they’ll never be able to deliver, to mere opponents of their efforts. DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan said: “The message to opponents of change who would lie or misrepresent the truth should [...]

Good News: You’re Now Paying $2 Million in Subsidies for 2 Daily Flights

While the unimaginably wasteful airport in Rep. John Murtha’s district — serving just twenty people per day — may be the most infamous of federally-subsidized airports, it’s hardly the only one. In fact, ABC News reports that American taxpayers are now paying about $1 million per daily flight out of Greenbrier Valley Airport in West [...]

Good News: Dems Rolling Out Michelle Obama to Shill for ObamaCare

Yeah, that should do the trick. Send out a woman who admits to not having been proud of America at any point in her adult life to assure average Americans that their health care is safe in the hands of government bureaucrats. Actually, it would seem that the point here is to use the First [...]

Video: Creigh Deeds Doesn’t Understand Basic Economic Concepts

17. September 2009

Actually, it doesn’t even approach the level of simply misunderstanding basic economic concepts. The Democratic candidate for the Virginia governor’s mansion is completely confused about his own plans to raise taxes. You see, Deeds promises in one breath that he won’t raise taxes and then promises to raise them in the next. Seriously. When reporters [...]

Even the AP Getting Tired of Lefty Race-Baiting

17. September 2009

It’s pretty bad when even the lefty media is getting sick and tired of the left’s pathetic, disingenuous tactics. The wire service rightly points out that by labeling simple opponents racists, you degrade the power of the term against, you know, actual racists. [I]f everybody’s racist, is anyone? The word is being sprayed in all [...]

Just the latest attempt by liberal Democrats to socialize the United States. The House of Representatives has passed legislation that essentially nationalizes the entire student loan industry. Because that’s HopenChange, baby. The biggest change in U.S. higher education finance in 35 years was approved on Thursday by the House of Representatives, handing a defeat to [...]

Breaking: House Votes to Strip ACORN Funding

Interestingly enough, SanFran Nan appears nowhere on the list of 345 “yea” votes or 75 “no” votes. Apparently she didn’t want to take a stance on the issue, as it would be a no-win outcome for her. The US House today joined the Senate in voting to defund ACORN, the community advocacy group beset by [...]
