Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else
From the category archives:
Having an a**-crack-of-dawn teacher schedule I am usually in bed obnoxiously early and rarely catch the 10 o’clock news let alone the late night talk shows. So the attacks by David Letterman on Willow Palin went completely under my radar and was muffled at the water cooler this week due to the Yankees-Red Sox/Phillies-Mets series’ taking place. So, I [...]

Charles Krauthammer, the ever-eloquent conservative columnist and panelist on Fox News’ Special Report, recently received the Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism. In his acceptance speech, he paid tribute to the success of Fox News and it’s role in opening up journalism and our ability to get news beyond the liberal monopoly. [...]

Nope, I’m not surprised. New York Slimes lackey Paul Krugman blamed Ronald Reagan for the deregulation that led to the current economic crisis last week. Obviously, that’s ridiculous and others have chimed in to refute that claim.
I hear that same kind of argument every three seconds from Kool-Aid drinking Democrats out here in Jersey — all [...]

OK, it’s a USA Today/Gallup poll of about 1000 “adults”, which under normal circumstances is about as accurate as a show of hands at a hoppin’ dance club around 1 am, but nonetheless Dick Cheney ended up with a higher favorability rating than San Fran Nancy Pelosi, 37-34% respectively!
For goodness sake, Darth Cheney is more [...]

Keith Olbermann is already trying to blame this weekend’s murder of George Tiller on the case pro-lifers make against legalized abortion in an effort to avoid discussing what abortion actually is. In this case, talk show hosts at the low-ratings nutwork are blaming Bill O’Reilly’s coverage of Tiller’s abortion practices for Tiller’s murder. Well, kudos [...]

Controversial late-term abortionist George Tiller was shot and killed by a lunatic earlier today at a church in Kansas. Today’s shooting is tragic because it ended a human life and will undermine the pro-life cause.
In coming weeks, the mainstream media’s long-standing pro-choice bias will resurface. The media will attempt to lump all pro-lifers together with [...]

I’ve liked Dick Cheney since the summer of 2000. He was going to be a steady hand at Veep, had no ambition to be the top dog, so he decided to shoot from the hip and be the Administration’s authoritative voice on security issues. He beat the heck out of Joe Lieberman in the 2000 [...]

More class from “our betters” Saturday night at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Here’s the classy Wanda Sykes, getting a laugh from the President at the expense of two private citizens and a former Veep:
Apparently, Rush made no comment on his show today about this directly. Someone has to be the adult in the room.

Unconscious press bias at its You Tube best! Though the press briefing room has more informal etiquette rules, it’s an interesting contrast nonetheless, given that the press’ respect for Bush was nearly non-existent, and given that the MSM clearly views Obama as ”too big to fail.”
However, sometimes they did actually stand for Bush. In this cleverly cut video they [...]

I’m not going to lose sleep tonight because Justice David Souter is retiring at the end of the next session of the Supreme Court. I’m sure his last magnanimous acts for posterity will simply blend in and be as meek as most of his acts over the last 18 years he’s been on the court.
He’s never a swing vote, just [...]

One hundred days into the Obama Nation and life continues, though things seem more insecure and ominous every time Obama speaks. And there’s 1,361 more days until January 20, 2013!
A lot of damage has been done, which has been cataloged here since Day One: Year Zero, (January 20, 2009, in the PO calender: PO,”Pre-Obama” or in our case “PO” could easily mean “Post-Obama” [...]

General Electric is the parent company of NBC, and by extension owns NBC News, MSNBC, and CNBC. At yesterday’s shareholders meeting in Orlando, FL, shareholders criticized GE CEO Jeff Immelt for MSNBC’s extreme left-wing tilt. With the likes of Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, and Ed Shultz, MSNBC has turned into the TV version [...]

The Culture Wars were alive and well at the Miss USA Pageant last evening. In a Q&A segment, Ms. California Carrie Prejean randomly selected a question to be asked by a particular judge. Here was the exchange:
Some think that Prejean lost her bid for the crown because of her answer to this question — she [...]

In what is nothing more than a PR stunt, Obama is meeting with his cabinet for the first time today to ask them to cut, collectively, $100 million from the Federal Budget. That’s right, $100 million. Not $1 billion, not $10 billion, not $100 billion, not $1 trillion. With the spending that has gone on [...]

Water-boarding, bugs, leashes, loud music, diapers, sleep deprivation: all techniques used in the interrogation of really bad people at Club Gitmo. All of them were used with the intent not to do permanent harm, but to leave that impression with the prisoner; hence, skirting any potential claims of torture from a legal stand-point — the [...]

Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) took a bold step which is just getting press this week: the right of a state to reject federal money which has strings attached that will be harmful to that state’s economic well-being. Perry’s justification for his support of HCR 50 is the states’ rights amendment to the US Constitution, [...]

Surprise. Surprise. A recent edition of the New York Slimes contains an editorial advocating massive government spending to stimulate the economy. In this case, the Grey Lady actually uses historical evidence to support its argument. Of course, the example is distinguishable from our situation because it featured spending on a massive war effort. War, like [...]

It’s Thursday! That means its time for another Steven Crowder video. This week, Crowder bemoans the fact that media bias is really depriving the American people of comedy gold. Well, we’re not deprived. We follow Steven Crowder.
He mentions three Biden gaffes that we “probably haven’t heard” but actually have. That’s because we follow politics. That [...]

I laughed when I heard about this story from the AP this morning regarding what legendary Duke Blue Devils Mens Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said about Obama’s picks:
“Somebody said that we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, [...]

The circus that is the AIG Bonus Outrage is a typical Washington case of wag-the-dog. The bonuses were retention bonuses to keep employees who were laid off as part of the AIG restructuring, but needed for a specified amount of time for a transition. AIG was legally-required to pay these bonuses, and it was even [...]

For the two years leading up to the 2006 mid-term elections, Democrats lambasted Republicans for the culture of corruption. Yet whatever corrupt elements existed within the GOP (and there indeed were some), they pale in comparison to those being uncovered in the current Democrat Party. To name just a few, let’s take three examples:
Sen. Christopher [...]

No, not Rush Limbaugh and gutsy Conservatives on Obama, but 51% of Democrats and 34% of Independents felt that way about President Bush back in August 2006, all while we were still in the heat of ferocious combat on two fronts. The poll is a decent one of 900 Registered Voters by Fox News/ Opinion Dynamics.
You can’t tell me [...]

Democrat Party lackeys Rahm Emmanuel, Stanley Greenberg, Paul Begala and James Carville had been purposely targeting Rush Limbaugh as the new focus of evil in the modern world, according to the Politico today. No surprise here — they got all they could from picking on Sarah Palin, who’s getting back to a normalcy in Alaska. So, they took [...]

Like Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck has at least one named segment on his daily show. Beck’s opening segment is called “The One Thing”; it’s kind of like O’Reilly’s “Talking Points Memo.” Beck is kind of alarmist and quirky (those quirks are on full display in this video clip), but the point is a good one.
We all know [...]

I was sitting at the car dealership yesterday getting ready to pick up my new sweet ride, when I looked at the clock. It was 4:40pm and I was going to miss Rush’s speech to CPAC. Suddenly, the last people in the waiting room left and I decided to fiddle with the TV in order to see [...]

For 18 years the Pentagon has forbid the publication of photos of American soldiers KIA (Killed in Action). In 1991, Bush 41 put the ban in place. Now, the Pentagon is lifting that ban.
What’s the big deal? Back in Vietnam, the press liked to use the many flag-draped coffins coming off of ships to reinforce their anti-war [...]
