Bloomberg: The Hippie Protesters are Hurting New York’s Economy
And he’s probably right that they’re doing as much intentionally. They’re openly protesting the capitalist system itself, and Francis Fox Piven — who advocated overloading the system to destroy it and build a socialist alternative — is now gleefully cheering them on. These protesters aren’t angry that banks were bailed out. They’re angry banks weren’t [...]
Emails Show Obama, Emanuel Pushed for Solyndra Loan Despite Warnings
7. October 2011
Top-ranking Obama Administration officials, including possibly President Barack Obama himself, pushed for the now-infamous Solyndra loan despite warnings about the company’s viability by administration analysts. The Washington Post reports: White House staff discussed in e-mails that either President Obama or his former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel were eager to help spotlight a solar company [...]
A Note on Advertising
7. October 2011
I’ve removed AdBrite and its interstitial advertising from the website following complaints. I’m now seeking alternative routes for advertising revenue. That said, please permit me a moment to explain my reason for adding interstitial advertising in the first place. There are actually several reasons: Interstitial has been and continues to be a widely-utilized form of [...]
Bev “Let’s Suspend Elections” Perdue: I’ll Oppose a Traditional Marriage Amendment
7. October 2011
She claims it’s because the amendment will cost North Carolina jobs. But she doesn’t elaborate as to how. Maybe because it will turn away gay couples? Except, gay marriage is already prohibited in the state. The amendment would simply reinforce current legal standing. It’s not a new proposal. Then she says: But I’m going to [...]
Liberal Group Admits to Paying People to Attend Occupy DC Rally
6. October 2011
Remember when liberals accused the Tea Party of being astroturf because groups coordinated to hold rallies? What do they call this? Asked why they were there, some Hispanic protesters holding up English protest signs could not articulate what their signs said. Interviewed in Spanish, the protesters told conflicting stories about how their group was organized. [...]
Reid Triggers Nuclear Option, Democrats Change Senate Rules to Block Republicans
6. October 2011
These same Democrats had a royal fit when Republicans even considered this move in 2006. Both sides went into negotiations and the “Gang of 14″ was formed. That was supposed to stop the use of the “nuclear option”. But as we’ve learned, such bipartisanship is only expected when Republicans are in power. Now Democrats are [...]
Obama Throws Energy Department Loan Head Under the Bus
6. October 2011
The sacrificial lamb. We’re supposed to believe everything’s fine now because one guy was thrown under the bus. As if he was the highest-ranking official who was involved in knowingly approving a bad but politically-beneficial taxpayer loan. As if the administration itself — this is, those involved in the politics — wasn’t pushing for its [...]
Holder Received Five Briefings About Fast and Furious
6. October 2011
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath before the House of Representatives. You’ll recall he told investigators he only learned of Fast and Furious through media reports following the program’s collapse. That would mean he only learned of the program’s existence sometime in early 2011. He pleaded ignorance before that. [...]
Joe Biden: Sure the GOP Can Win, Because People are Hurting Under Obama
6. October 2011
This guy’s angling for a prime time slot at the Republican convention at this point, isn’t he? In the past two weeks alone he’s blamed his own party for the bad economy and decided to bring back to light Obama’s favorite communist, Van Jones. Either he’s just giving up at this point or he’s really [...]
Reuters: Secret Gov’t Panel Places Americans on Kill List
6. October 2011
I was fine with the Awlaki killing because his being targeted was quite open and he was on the field of battle fight against his own country. But this? Bridge way too far. If it wasn’t from Reuters I’d call bull and assume it’s some whacko conspiracy theory. (Reuters) – American militants like Anwar al-Awlaki [...]
