Surprise: AFL-CIO Snubs Crist, Endorses Meek

Quotable Quotes: Teddy Roosevelt On Assimilation
21. May 2010
Teddy Roosevelt was considered a progressive in his day. In fact, he’s still looked up to by progressives in the present day. He forcible split up large businesses, created the original “Square Deal” that would inspire his cousin’s “New Deal”, made conservation a federal-level issue, and pushed the federal government to further regulate business. In [...]
Video: A Republican Response to Felipe Calderon
21. May 2010
When the leader of a foreign nation came to the United States Congress to slam an American state and the overwhelming majority of Americans who support the state’s new law, Congressional Democrats gave the foreign leader a standing ovation. Literally. Congressional Republicans have since criticized the leader, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, but the video I’ve [...]
Amnesty International: Widespread Abuse of Migrants in Mexico
20. May 2010
It’s not that Felipe Calderon has a problem with tough immigration laws or unfair treatment of migrants. No, the president of Mexico only has a problem when tough immigration laws are implemented in the United States. After all, that may result in millions of low-skilled workers and their families flowing back into their home country. [...]
ICE Chief: I Won’t Do My Job If Arizona Is Involved
20. May 2010
I’m with Allahpundit: He won’t do his job because he doesn’t like a law? Fire him. It’s not his place to determine if a law is nice or effective. His job is enforce the law. He doesn’t like it? I didn’t ask, and neither did legislators. He’s not elected, and he’s certainly not in a [...]

Audio: Apple Censors App That Criticizes Islam
20. May 2010
I’m not surprised. Incidentally, the major problem here is the double-standard. You can’t market an application that criticizes Islam because that’s inappropriate for the store, but marketing an application that slams Christianity? Totally appropriate. Apple prides itself on being innovative and progressive. In reality, the company is cowardly and regressive. In no universe is the [...]
Mexican President Slams Arizona; Democrats Applaud
20. May 2010
Actually, they did more than applaud in response to a foreign leader attacking an American state. Congressional Democrats actually gave him a standing ovation. A standing ovation from the people’s representatives in response to a foreign leader attacking an American state for passing a law most Americans support. And this standing ovation occurs in the [...]
Happy Everbody Draw Muhammad Day!
20. May 2010
Today the free world stands up to Islamist oppressors and says, “No. We won’t be intimidated by your threats. We’re going to draw what we want to draw because we’re free to do so. And if you’re going to threaten one of us, you’ll have to threaten all of us.” Okay, not quite Leonidas at [...]
