The Soumashank Redemption

Actor Tim Robbins, life-long uber-liberal and husband of whiffle-skulled Susan Sarandon, was disenfranchised on Election Day. Proof of the existence of a benevolent God? I thought so, but not according to Robbins.
He’s ticked off and he wrote a letter to the head of the New York Board of Elections, Gregory Soumas, that started off [...]

"We support the troops but oppose the war" means never having to admit they won it.

Beck’s Truck Stop Blues

Bad news: As Glenn Beck found out first hand, angry liberals are starting to infiltrate our nation’s truck stops.
Do we need to put one of the last bastions of mainstream sanity in America on the endangered list?
Let this be a lesson for those Republican wussies who voted for Obama just because they thought it would [...]

Viral Email Of The Day

From the mouths of babes…
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who [...]

“How Obama Got Elected”

John Stossel made that argument that not everyone should be allowed to vote.
He, as usual, does have a point.

Murdoch Spanks The Media

While the left has been bashing "Faux News" for years, look who's still standing. The boss scolded the narcissistic, petulant children.
The Internet, for example, provides access to thousands of new sources that cover things an editor might ignore. And if you aren't satisfied with that, you can start up your own blog and cover and [...]

The B&R College Connection

What's encouraging is that despite all the talk of the lock-step liberal youth vote, there are some independent thinkers within the halls of academia, sharing with us what they come up with.

Censorship By Another Name: The Fairness Doctrine in a Dress and Lipstick

At the American Thinker today, Jim Boulet, Jr. outlines how Obama and the liberals in Congress will not pursue a “Fairness Doctrine” in order to curb conservative rule of the talk radio airwaves. Don’t get too excited though, because it’s just a matter of dressing it differently and changing its name.
Goodbye Fairness Doctrine, hello “Localism.” [...]

MoveOn Email Of The Day

The roots are getting kinda' uppity.
This is a note for you from another MoveOn member:
Hi! I'm one of your neighbors. Like so many others, I've been savoring Obama's historic victory-and I want to make sure we keep the momentum going. So on Thursday, 11/20, I'm hosting a "Fired Up and Ready to Go" gathering for [...]

Definition Of Insanity: The American People

More than half of the American people recited "change".

So we (they) voted most of them back in, and them some.
Smart.

How CAIR Uses Blacks

FYI: Is there ANY group (aside from despised Republicans) that doesn't liken their "victim status" to that of civil rights-era black people?
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), headquartered in Washington, is perhaps the best-known and most controversial Muslim organization in North America. CAIR presents itself as an advocate for Muslims' civil rights and the spokesman [...]

Schiff’s Dire Financial Warnings Ignored

I should've asked Peter Schiff for Super Bowl picks during the last few years.

The Obama Admin Background Check Irony

While trying to get a job working for the new president, you'll be subjected to scrutiny he himself was spared of.
In an effort to weed out riffraff, Obama has come up with a bizarre job application - a seven-page, 63-question document so invasive that it must have been cooked up by the president-elect's lawyers. Or [...]

UPDATE: Post-Election Obama Emerges

It was almost two years-worth of fuzzy, vague, yet uplifting rhetoric delivered to bring tears in the eyes of his supporters. It was almost two years of idealism the media parroted without the customary scrutiny. And now that Barack Obama has hit the home run, he's now giving us insights (via 60 Minutes) about his [...]

The Liberal Fallujah Defeat Victory

From Day One, the left said we were losing the Iraq War and many argued that such talk would embolden the enemy. That argument has now been proven to have been factual.
An assessment produced by analysts at the U.S. Army's National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) has found the hardest-fought battle of the Iraq War, the [...]

Some Things Just Ain’t Right

And sometimes, those bad things can get you PAID.
You may not know the name Rebecca Willis yet, but you will soon. The woman, from Marshall, North Carolina, has just gotten a whopping $275,000 for agreeing never to dance in the city’s community center again.

There is precedent for the vilifying of bad public dancing.

There oughta' be [...]

“Global Warming” Elite Greed

Whether it be Al Gore's carbon credit scam, or the marketing of impeding doom to make bleeding hearts ready to forgo common sense to "heal the planet", facts are being discarded as to make a few very rich and powerful.
If you want to know why we continue to hear about alleged new threats to the [...]

Alan Keyes is California Dreamin’

California dreamin’ on such a winter’s day:
The California secretary of state should refuse to allow the state’s 55 Electoral College votes to be cast in the 2008 presidential election until President-elect Barack Obama verifies his eligibility to hold the office, alleges a California court petition filed on behalf of former presidential candidate Alan Keyes and [...]

The Media To Cash-In On Their Obama

Their political cheerleading was derided by many. Their in-your-face swooning over The Chosen One made many of us sick, but did the job on November 4th. And now it appears they're attempting to cash in on their "giddy" political promotion of Barack Obama.
Perhaps it was the announcement that NBC News is coming out with a [...]

“Fairness” By Any Other Name

Liberals, licking their chops after soundly duping stupid Americans into falling for their flowery rhetoric, are now preparing for that search-and-destroy mission I warned about November 5th. Because they believe we are so easily duped (and why would they believe that…?), they may rename The Fairness Doctrine by something vague, but the intent is the [...]

The Eliot Spitzer Comeback

Just once I'd hope the same standards that apply to us would apply to those who hold (or held) positions of power in our hallowed halls of government.
Shame is fleeting in modern America, so it was probably inevitable that Eliot Spitzer would seek to return as an arbiter of everyone else's moral behavior.
Little more than [...]

Barney Frank proves again he’s an idiot

Here’s what the esteemed (cough cough)  Congressman Frank said regarding a proposed 25 billion dollar bailout of our incompetent, failing auto industry:
“The House is ready to do it,” said Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. “There’s no downside to trying.”
There’s no downside to trying? How about pissing away [...]

The psychology of politics

I did my first piece of research into the psychology of politics in 1968. It was my Masters dissertation. I have been studying the subject ever since — now with many academic publications on it behind me. So it seems reasonable that in 2008 — 40 years later — I should [...]

Monday’s Column: Barack and Brian

Today’s column at WorldNetDaily started while cleaning out a closet last week and finding an old VHS copy of the Monty Python movie “Life of Brian.” In the movie, a character named Brian is mistaken for the Messiah and hilarity ensues. Sound familiar? Well, without the hilarity anyway.
The parallels between Brian and Barack Obama were [...]

Okay, we'll excuse him because of age and inexperience.
NOTE to self: never play with a cigarette lighter on the toilet - particularly after spraying the room with air freshener. For 13-year-old German schoolboy Dennis Bueller, it's a lesson he won't forget.

The New Liberal Religious Order

A "charter" is only good if agreed to by all involved, and you can trust that all will abide by it…
A website launched Friday with the backing of technology industry and Hollywood elite urges people worldwide to help craft a framework for harmony between all religions.

Well, if the Hollywood elite is involved, it must be [...]

Hate Rewarded

I've never advocated the use of "hate speech", but after eight years of Bush-bashing, the insults of his intelligence, the dramatization and cinematic fantasies of his death, and the slanderous accusations of domestic privacy intrusion and international torturous activities, why would anyone expect this would now be a one-way street just because the incoming president [...]

Obama, the Video Game

Barack Obama is now the star of a new video game called “Super Obama World.”
In Super Obama World, armed with nothing but guns and religion, you do battle with liberal Democrats who are trying to take your Super Obama World game and give it to somebody who doesn’t have one because of Republicans. When your [...]

Liberals Lying About History…?

Last summer, I had the privilege of producing and directing a documentary, written by University of Dayton history professor Larry Schweikart, about Ronald Reagan's winning of the Cold War. There are two sides to every story, and thanks to liberal academia, we've only heard that side.
Larry Schweikart, history professor at the University of Dayton, contends [...]
