Official Obama Twitter Account: $40 Per Month is $1,000 Per Year

22. December 2011

0 Comments

To think these people can’t fix the economy. Or our budget. Or anything, really. #40dollars a month adds up to roughly $1,000 a year. What would you do with it? If I were the guy running Barack Obama’s official Twitter page for the campaign in Indiana, I’d use the money to take math lessons. More: [...]

Ron Paul: I Wouldn’t Have Killed Bin Laden

22. December 2011

0 Comments

Of course not. A nice reminder from Allahpundit. This is a guy who regularly goes on Alex Jones’ conspiracy show and who has flirted in the past with trutherism. His newsletters pushed a theory that Israel was behind the 1993 World Trade Center attack. He’s probably not entirely convinced Bin Laden (or Al Qaeda) had [...]

Ron Paul Took Responsibility for Newsletters in 1995 Interview

22. December 2011

Another fantastic find from Andrew Kaczynski. Ron Paul knew about the newsletters and even bragged about them around the time he was publishing them. Today he’s running for president and insists he had nothing to do with them.

Report: Carter Expressed Condolences to North Korea over Death of Kim Jong-il

21. December 2011

The report comes from North Korean propaganda which makes me want to dismiss it outright. But I can’t. I’ll tell you why after we provide the story: In the message Jimmy Carter extended condolences to Kim Jong Un and the Korean people over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il. He wished Kim Jong Un [...]

Whoopi Goldberg: Communism Would Work if We Get the Right Person

21. December 2011

Today’s friendly reminder that these folks are more than just left-wing. They’re downright apologists for Communism. Joy Behar: By the way, Saddam Hussein who is now taken out, dead. He also liked American culture. It didn’t- In other words, it doesn’t always matter. Whoopi Goldberg: No, it doesn’t matter. Because, you know, if you say [...]

While Congress Debates Tax Cut Extension, Obama Christmas Shops

21. December 2011

Members of the House and Senate are spending today debating over the extension of a tax cut for millions of Americans. Republicans want a full year extension. Democrats want just two months. If the gridlock isn’t resolved, taxes will go up for millions of Americans on January 1st. So where’s President Obama today? Maybe wrangling [...]

Canadian Government to Obama: If you don’t want our oil, China does

21. December 2011

1 Comment

What will end up happening is China will import Canada’s oil and we’ll be stuck importing our oil from Venezuela and other countries that hate us. All because Barack Obama feels the need to appease his extreme-left base that hates the idea of importing friendly oil. Canada could sell its oil to China and other [...]

Friendly Reminder: Ron Paul Made a Pretty Penny Publishing Racist Conspiracy Theories

21. December 2011

0 Comments

Not “racism” as in “opposing Barack Obama is racist”. “Racism” as in objectively racist. Crap you’d find in despicable corners of the web like Stormfront’s website. Stuff that makes his fellow libertarians like Reason editor Matt Welch recoil. In January 2008, the New Republic ran my story reporting the contents of monthly newsletters that Paul [...]

Mitt Romney’s Weak Tax Plan

20. December 2011

0 Comments

James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute writes that Mitt Romney has a tax problem. Not the kind of Tim “Tax Cheat” Geithner, mind you. No, his problem is with his weak tea tax plan. Many economic conservatives, including influentials such as CNBC’s Larry Kudlow and The Wall Street Journal’s Steve Moore, find Romney’s tax [...]

Public Overwhelmingly Favors Job-Creating Oil Pipeline Construction

19. December 2011

1 Comment

The American public overwhelmingly favors the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline — a project that will immediately create upwards of 20,000 American jobs. The pipeline, which would also provide America with oil from Canada rather than our current sources of Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, is currently being held up by the Obama Administration, [...]
