FDR’s New Deal Failed. So Will Obama’s “New” New Deal
In his Neo-Com SOTU address last night, President Obama promised more of the same terrible economic policy that’s been holding the country back for nearly his entire presidency. A proposal to increase the minimum wage to $9 per hour is a perfect example. No more workers will get closer to making the much-desired-by-liberals “living wage” [...]
With Apologies to Paul Harvey and Ram Trucks…
Here’s SuperMexican’s sendup of the very good Super Bowl ad. Enjoy.
Former D.C. Prosecutor: Strict Gun Ban Failed
Former Washington D.C. prosecutor Jeffrey Scott Shapiro spent a lot of time enforcing gun and ammunition laws while the district’s strict gun ban was in place. He observed that the ban placed unnecessary burdens on police (who had to enforce ridiculous provisions like grandfathered handguns had to be disassembled or trigger locked, even if you [...]
Was the Fiscal Cliff Deal a Triumph Over Liberalism?
George Will thinks so. If you look at his logic -which involves the number of Democrats who voted to make most of the Bush tax rates permanent- it looks pretty solid (my bold emphasis). “I think people will look back on this [as a] deal where liberalism passed an effigy and went into decline for [...]
Michelle Obama Claim: Voter Suppression Widespread During 2012 Election
Michelle Obama basically said that Republicans are rampant liars when it comes to defending Americans’ right to vote (White House Dossier). Of course, as is the pattern with liberals, she didn’t give even one supporting bit of evidence to back her claim. It’s just the seriousness of the allegation that makes it newsworthy to the [...]
MSNBC Host Comes Unhinged at Mention of Entrepreneurs as Risktakers
Honestly, it’s amazing that this “network” survives. Melissa Harris-Perry gets enraged when one of her co-panelists has the temerity to suggest that entrepreneurs are risk takers. In her delusionally upside-down world, it’s the poor people who are taking risks. I love how she insists that we need to have a safety net that will “catch [...]
Here’s Liberal Hypocrisy for You: Boston Mayor Menino says Radical Imam OK but not Chick-fil-A
Mayor Menino says Chick-fil-A shouldn’t be able to do business in Boston, because of Chritian Beliefs held by its owner. On the other hand, he effectively gave the Islamic Society of Boston $1.8 million of city land for a mosque. Among the leaders of that mosque was one Jusef al-Qaradawi. That radical imam believes you [...]
10 Reasons to Hate Mitt Romney (Liberals Pay Attention) | Flopping Aces
From Flopping Aces: 1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura, like every central casting’s #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief. 2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS. 3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?) [...]
Shame: PETA Kills More than 95% of the Animals in its Shelters
For an organization that pretends to be interested in the welfare of animals, PETA has an interesting track record with the animals it takes into its shelters: Documents published online this month show that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an organization known for its uncompromising animal-rights positions, killed more than 95 percent of [...]
What is the Left’s Goal? To Transform Society – But, Not to What YOU Think It Should Be
That’s right; the left in this country today wants to change society, but in ways you feeble unwashed denizens of flyover country couldn’t possible understand. Your American ideals are actually screwing up their vision for a “great” American society. Daniel Greenfield has a brilliant essay at Sultan Knish that explains a lot about the mindset [...]
Morgan Freeman: Tea Party is Raaaaacist, So They’re Throwing Their Support Behind…a Black Man?
I’m glad Herman Cain scored a big victory in the Florida Straw Poll this weekend. It gives news outlets another chance to display the hypocrisy of Hollyweird leftist types that say the Tea Party is raaaaacist. How can a group that is based on racism, and seeks a return to “when slavery was cool” (yes, [...]
Great Example of Liberal Democrat Hypocrisy: DNC Chairperson Owns -Japanese- Car
The Obama (*DfOaLG) administration has shown a lot of support for his union automaker brethren: bailouts, pension fund kickbacks from Porkulus funds, and ObamaCare waivers. We want that American auto industry to survive because they make the best cars in the world! Drive a Chevy Dolt, for instance, and you can go 40 miles on [...]
Reagonomics vs. Obamanomics: Look at the Evidence
Many on the left cannot understand why Republicans push for tax cuts when we have record deficits. They refuse to look at the examples of Reagan and George W, and understand how economic growth is spurred, and government revenues go UP when taxes are cut for corporations and individuals. Blinded by their zeal for “fairness” [...]
Herman Cain: America is Being Ruined By Stupid People
Update: RS McCain at The Other McCain saw Cain’s speech, too, and liked it. He observed that some wet-behind-the-ears (Class of ’08) Harvard know-it-all says Cain’s speech was “flat”, and given that, he’ll have to work “extra hard” to win “a place in the 2012 process.” That’s not exactly a genius determination: any outsider is [...]
Three Chefs for Mayor Bloomberg? No Problem, those Taxpayers are Picking Up the Tab
You have to admire the chutzpah of billionaire know-it-all and nanny-stater extraordinaire Michael Bloomberg. He doesn’t mind telling the lowly taxpayers of NYC whether they can, or should be able to smoke, or put salt on their food. Though he prefers to live at his upper East side townhouse (which, by the way is worth [...]
Candidate for this Week’s Braying Jackass Award: Jim Clyburn
Geez, don’t these people know when to shut up? James Clyburn (D-SC) says that Sarah Palin “just doesn’t get it”: A House Democratic leader on Wednesday lashed out at Sarah Palin, accusing the former Alaska governor of being intellectually incapable of understanding why she’s faced criticism related to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). [...]
Palin Not on Obama’s “Intellectual Stage.” Whatever, Juan.
I like Juan Williams okay, considering he’s a hopeless liberal. He seems like a reasonable fellow, most of the time. He’s a liberal for sure, but most of his comments seem to be pretty well thought out. Occasionally, though, the superiority defect that’s imbued deep within his psyche (and that of all liberals) bubbles to [...]
Progressives Too Conservative to Accept Capitalism?
Warren Meyer (who writes Coyote Blog) has a new column at Forbes about the strange affliction that affects progressives (liberals): they’re too conservative to accept capitalism. At least, that’s the way Meyer explains it. This story of progressives trying to stop history has continued to repeat itself through the generations. In the seventies and eighties, [...]
The Unions, Communists, Socialists, and Marxists Had a Rally, Too.
Yesterday, the “One Nation Working Together” rally was held to march for ‘good’ jobs, or communism, or socialism, or some other failed ideology, or something. It was hard to tell from looking at the signage being carried (and left on the ground) by the participants, most of whom were bused in by their unions. It [...]
Walter Williams: Racial Stupidity and Malevolence
I really enjoy reading Walter Williams’ weekly columns. He sub-titles his columns “A Minority View,” and it is, for him, in more ways than one. He is black, but he’s also in the minority in that he doesn’t buy the standard liberal hogwash about how minorities are being held down in this country. This week’s [...]
Doctor Zero: The Narrative of Hate
Image via Wikipedia Another amazing and insightful post from John Hayward. I’ve been seeing the left’s narrative of hate broadcast on Twitter this morning, as befuddled liberals call Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh, or Sarah Palin, and the other KKK there at the Restoring Honor rally “racist assholes.” I wish, just once, these people would [...]
Ronald Reagan: Those voices don’t speak for the rest of us.
This is great. The “voices” he speaks of are clearly on display here, showing their contempt for the ideas of our founders.
