Leftists and Militant Islam: A Curious Love Affair

Luckily, he was Muslim, not Baptist, so it won’t be a big national scandal.
I have no idea why leftists are so tender toward Islam, which supports and practices everything liberals are supposed to despise.
I think part of it […]



In Common Parlance, Dumbasses

Commentary » Blog Archive » Don’t Ask When, Don’t Tell the Left They’ve Been Conned
Guantanamo is open, the Patriot Act remains in place, ObamaCare is dead, and now Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is likely to be with us for years, perhaps forever. At some point, the president’s fans on the Left will realize they have […]



If You Can’t Say Something Good…

Noted Commie propagandist and junk historian Howard Zinn has died.

NEW YORK, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Cablevision Systems Corp (CVC.N) plans to charge online readers of its Newsday newspaper, a move that would make it one of […]



Are Obama’s Lips Moving? Then He’s Lying.

U.S. Economy - Salon.com
Don’t tell Republicans about Monday night’s Rachel Maddow Show, where progressive economist Jared Bernstein, who works for Vice President Joe Biden, reassured Maddow that the controversial “spending freeze” the Obama administration just leaked wouldn’t apply to many important social programs, at all. (You can watch it below.)
Maddow made the same point Robert […]



Why the Golden State Is Doomed

Most California Voters Don’t See Higher Taxes As A Budget Solution - Rasmussen Reports™
Only when given the option of eliminating the state’s main welfare program and cutting back on health care services for the disabled and the elderly do a slight majority (52%) favor raising taxes instead.
Of course, any sort of cut to anything […]

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

POLL: Majority Of Californians Believe State Is Worse After Schwarzenegger - News Story - KTVU San Francisco
SACRAMENTO — A new Field Poll suggests a bleak view of California politicians.
The poll, released Sunday, finds that 59 percent of California voters believe when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger leaves office, the state will be in worse shape than when […]



Left Squalls As Cash Advantage Removed

Court Rulings Erode Spending Restrictions for Elections - NYTimes.com
The United States Chamber of Commerce, the goliath of the lobbying world, is expected to outline its battle plan next week for the midterms. It spent $25 million on advertisements and get-out-the-vote efforts in the 2006 elections and $36 million in 2008, and will spend far more […]



Pulling It Out of His Ass

Rush Limbaugh, Jew-Hater? : The Other McCain
One of the silliest smears in recent memory from the despicable Abe Foxman:
Foxman, who has singlehandedly managed to tarnish beyond repair any claim to respectability that the Anti-Defamation League might once have advanced, offers the curious logic that Rush Limbaugh accusing the Obama administration of anti-semitism is itself an […]



Left Fighting Hard to Become the Stupid Party

Jules Crittenden » More Bitter Ironies
Yesterday, Seamon served up one of his best-selling Republican Party cookies (“because they are full of fruits and nuts’’), and summed up the jolt delivered by the vote.
Yet another example of the left’s divorce from reality. “The land of fruits and nuts” was originally applied to California, because, in […]



Dumb, Dumber, and Dying

White House caught in Democrats’ crossfire - Glenn Thrush and Jake Sherman and Lisa Lerer - POLITICO.com
“At this point, the challenge that they have had, and we have had, is that there were so many problems that were dumped in their lap when they took over,” said Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow. “They have been moving […]



King of the Nuts

I heard something strange on the radio this evening: “blah blah blah Governor Jerry Brown urged blah blah blah”. My first thought was that the unrepentant lefties at NPR had succumbed to nostalgia for their drug-addled youth. But, no, it turns out that the drug addled lunatics of California have placed Moonbeam within striking distance […]



Gramsci’s Name Isn’t Mentioned In the Slow Coup

An online blueprint of the Left | Washington Examiner
As I write this, only 35 people have viewed this highly interesting slide-show that was posted three weeks ago by someone from the American Campaign Management School. It originates from a presentation given by the director of the abortion advocacy group EMILY’s List and the founder of […]



Brit Hume, Pro

Fox, Tiger, and Christianity: A Defense of Brit Hume — Politics Daily

Eventually, Hume landed with ABC. A solid reporter, he’d initially had trouble learning the ropes of looking natural in front of the camera. By the time I knew him, he’d mastered it, first on Capitol Hill and then at the White House. In 1991, […]



The Illegitimate President and His Gang

Conservatives Finish 2009 as No. 1 Ideological Group
PRINCETON, NJ — The increased conservatism that Gallup first identified among Americans last June persisted throughout the year, so that the final year-end political ideology figures confirm Gallup’s initial reporting: conservatives (40%) outnumbered both moderates (36%) and liberals (21%) across the nation in 2009.
More broadly, the percentage of […]



Babies

Balkinization
But there are, of course, other possibilities. Perhaps the President would summon up the emotional energy to denounce the decision and to suggest that there is no reason that the country must be in thrall to a group of five “willful men” (since I assume that Ginsburg and Sotomayor will be in dissent against any […]

New Media leader exposes myth of Obama’s ‘bottom-up’ Internet-driven 2008 campaign UPDATED: More storm clouds gathering on the Left | Washington Examiner

DC Cop Waves Gun at Snowball Fight!

The context matters.
This is not simply an innocent snowball fight. This is a protest organized against evil, Gaia raping SUVs.
The cop is totally out of line, or is he? Is this a case of provocation for propaganda purposes? At what point […]



Dick Wolf: Hack

O’Reilly slams ‘Law & Order,’ calls Wolf ‘despicable’–The Live Feed | THR
Bill O’Reilly went after “Law & Order” franchise creator Dick Wolf on Thursday night’s “O’Reilly Factor” telecast, calling the producer a “despicable human being” whose veteran TV drama is “out of control.”
O’Reilly can certainly say that “L&O” threw the first punch.
This week’s […]

Re: Omni-bust [Brian Riedl]
Stephen, you mentioned the Democrats’ “Republicans did it too!” argument on runaway spending. But many have also been quoted this week saying that large increases are needed to make up for savage budget cuts by the Republicans. In […]

Socialized Medicine Scamming

Senate may drop public option
Democratic Senate negotiators struck a tentative agreement Tuesday night to drop the controversial government-run insurance plan from their overhaul of the health-care system, hoping to remove a last major roadblock preventing the bill from moving to a final vote in the chamber.
Under the deal, the government plan preferred by liberals would […]
