With President Obama demanding an “up or down” vote on sweeping health care reform, it’s worth reminding people of what government has done where involved with medical care and “bringing down costs.” The leadership in Washington will push for virtually any reform bill no matter how bad or unconstitutional, and when things eventually get worse, [...]

Climate Alarmists Claim 15 Years Not a Trend, But Avoid Main Issues

Environmental devotees of so-called climate change, or global warming, are now scrambling to issue some bit of truth after being exposed for their serial deceptions. Currently they are saying that 15 years of no warming does not constitute a trend. Fair enough.
However, if the science behind man-made warming is as rock-solid as they claim, then [...]

Media Livid Over Palin’s Hand, But Near Silent on Obama’s Teleprompter

The mainstream media is predictably unhinged at Sarah Palin’s remarks at Saturday’s National Tea Party convention. But the current relapse of Palin Derangement Syndrome is mostly attributed to her having scribbled a few notes on her hand. Apparently this is a big deal worthy of just about every media outlet’s ire.
Chris Matthews was particularly absurd, [...]

President Obama, Justice Alito, and Citizens United Free Speech Case

President Obama, an expert at condemning partisanship before practicing it himself, thought it proper to lambast the Supreme Court’s recent First Amendment decision in front of the country and the Justices sitting not ten feet away.
Liberal media pundits immediately ran to Obama’s defense, criticizing Justice Alito for shaking his head and apparently mouthing the response [...]

Obama’s First State of the Union and Still Out of Touch

Mark Alexander over at The Patriot Post wrote up a critique called State of the Union: Obama v. Constitution, which I partially reposted along with my own comments.
In the wake of Barack Hussein Obama’s first State of the Union address, much of the critical analysis from Republicans posited that he should do “this” instead of [...]

UN IPCC in Shambles as it Admits to Flawed Global Warming Reports

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was recently forced to retract its position on melting Himalayan glaciers due to lack of scientific evidence.
A team of scientist behind the bogus report, lead by Dr Murari Lal, claimed that Himalayan glaciers would essentially disappear by 2035. As reported by the UK’s MailOnline, the claim “rests on [...]

President Obama has criticized Bush for awarding no-bid contracts and pledged that he would not allow “sweetheart deals” under his watch. Now we learn of Obama reneging on yet another promise with the first no-bid contract of his administration going to Checchi & Company Consulting, Inc., a Washington-based firm owned by Democratic donor Vincent V. [...]

According to Dick Morris, the Obama-Pelosi-Reid gang is planning more devious shenanigans in order to pass Obamacare without the necessary votes. Even the bluest of blue states recently rejected the enormous corruption involved in the Health reform bill, but it simply does not matter to the plutocrats in government.
The full story can be found HERE. [...]

Filed under Culture, Government, Media

The nation’s leading ‘newspaper’ called the Supreme Court ruling expanding free speech in political campaigns as “disastrous,” and that it “strikes at the heart of democracy.” They claim that allowing corporate money to “flood” the political marketplace would “corrupt democracy.”
The establishment media is outraged for the simple fact that they were exempt from using their [...]

Democrats Have Done A Lot For the Black Community

Not long after the racial remarks made by Harry Reid, Newsweek’s Howard Fineman appeared on Keith Olbermann’s Countdown and claimed that, in addition to blacks, “everybody else in the society pretty much” would view Democrats more favorably on racial issues. Fineman, trying to downplay the incident, said that “fair-minded” people would side with Democrats for [...]
