David Frum Admits: I’m Not a Mainstream Conservative
He could have left out the “mainstream” part and have been equally right. But don’t worry, he’s only non-mainstream on issues like health care, monetary policy, welfare, and global bailouts. You know, little and insignificant issues. So long as the topic is “green jobs” or NLRB regulations or immigration, my thinking aligns reasonably congruently with [...]
Local Reporter to Marxist Protesters: I’m One of You!
12. October 2011
Don’t be misled by the fact she’s a reporter for a local Fox affiliate. The local Portland station isn’t quite micromanaged by Roger Ailes. Our local Fox affiliate where I used to live has never hesitated to tout the lefty line itself. Not unusual. Anyway, her name is Jamie Wilson and she works for Fox [...]
Occupy Wall Street’s Favorable Rating: 36%
12. October 2011
The far-left protesters claim they represent 99 percent of Americans. Apparently no one told the 64% of Americans who either disapprove of the movement or aren’t sure. Just 36% say they have a favorable view of the Marxist protesters. Yikes.
Occupy LA Speaker: We Need to Get Violent, Long Live Socialism!
12. October 2011
And the media is silent. Why? Because to a large extent they agree with the demands of the far-left movement. And their messiah, Barack Obama, has decided to side with the movement. We can’t have those beliefs and the lefty messiah associated with thuggery and socialism, can we? So hush-hush about this. Meanwhile, let’s demonize [...]
Obama Wanted to Apologize to Japan for Hiroshima
12. October 2011
In 2009, Barack Obama wanted to visit Hiroshima and apologize for the United States’ atomic bombing of the location, according to ABC News. The Japanese government told the ambassador it was a bad idea, so the trip proposal was nixed. Roos wrote the cable after his August meeting with Vice Foreign Minister Mitoji Yabunaka, reporting [...]
Video: Eric Holder Dodges and Ignores Questions About Fast and Furious
12. October 2011
He sure ended the press conference quickly when reporters started inquiring about Fast and Furious. And who can blame him? He’s already committed perjury once, no need to risk accidentally revealing more of his lies.
Senate Blocks Obama’s Unfunded Stimulus 2.0 Legislation
11. October 2011
The United States Senate this evening rejected Barack Obama’s unfunded second stimulus package, which would cost taxpayers approximately $447 billion while relying on the same policies that failed to create jobs in the first stimulus legislation. Senate Republicans were joined in opposition to cloture on the bill by Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE). Other Democrats who [...]
Florida Governor: Maybe Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder Shouldn’t Be Approving State Election Law Changes
11. October 2011
Our second Florida-related post of the day, but this one could have national implications. The lefties are outraged, of course, but that’s their natural state. The Miami Herald reveals its bias in the first paragraph, suggesting the lawsuit challenging the outdated Voting Rights Act provision will somehow place at risk the voting rights of minorities. [...]
Herman Cain: Obama Was Isolated from the True Black Experience
11. October 2011
And he’s right, unless you count growing up in Hawaii with white relatives, then going to Ivy League schools and hanging with Marxist professors, and then getting sucked into the Chicago political machine and propelled upward politically as the true black experience in America. Lefties are going to burst a blood vessel over this, but [...]
Florida Governor: Maybe We Should Spend Less on Psychology, More on Science and Technology
11. October 2011
Crazy talk. Now what degree are those future waiters and Starbucks baristas going to pursue that will get them nowhere but rack up debt? A big loss for the “I can’t believe I’m not getting rich with my bachelors in psychology” crowd. Tough day for them. Scott said Monday that he hopes to shift more [...]
