The Astroturfing of the “Coffee Party”

March 13, 2010

I heard a little buzz a few weeks back about some people who are upset with government who want to organize to get this country moving in the right direction by breaking the gridlock in Washington and get our representatives to be more representative.
Sounds great, right?  Kind of sounds like the Tea Party Movement, but [...]

Scott Brown’s Zings Moderator at Debate

January 12, 2010

Check out this video making the rounds all over the Internet from last night’s debate between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Martha Coakley for “Ted Kennedy’s”  Senate seat in the People’s State of Massachusetts:

The moderator, David Gergen, is a renowned dote usually put on a show because he was once a RINO who loves to [...]

Obama Still Blaming Bush Too

January 9, 2010

Even the MSM is starting to notice how the Obama Administration’s continuing insistence on blaming Bush for all their political woes is getting ridiculous. We already know this is the 2010 Democrat political strategy for keeping their majorities in Congress.
In less than two weeks, the Obama Nation will officially celebrate its first anniversary, with not [...]

Rush’s Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal

October 17, 2009

Personally, I think that Rush Limbaugh has a legal case against many of those involved in the unfounded defamation of his character which resulted in real financial consequences, many of whom are in the MSM.  But, Rush has decided to take another route — battling back in the arena of ideas like he’s preached for decades on [...]

Ayn Rand on Socialized Health Care

October 8, 2009

Upon discussing Atlas Shrugged with my father a few weeks ago, he spotted an editorial in the Providence Journal (the local Rhode Island paper slowly dying like the rest of the MSM) which spotlighted Rand’s book We the Living from 1936.  Well, the article said that a 1942 movie on the book exists and only recently on DVD format.  [...]

Ann Coutler on Joe Wilson

September 12, 2009

In case you missed it here’s what happened Wednesday night when the President gave his 29th speech on Health Care (because apparently we just didn’t hear him the first 28 times):

Truth is that the President either did lie or was ignorant of the fine print in HR 3200 (the only real bill out there) which covers illegals [...]

Trying to Score Points on Kennedy’s Death

August 27, 2009

Ted Kennedy’s body is not even cold yet and some are trying to win political points, shamelessly using his death to advance their political agenda.  The most obvious are those, like Robert Byrd, who want to put Ted Kennedy’s name on the health care bill in an attempt to use the spirit of mourning and [...]

Congressman Baird Gets a Town Hall Schooling!

August 24, 2009

When asked by a liberal friend what I think of the town hall activism (though he didn’t use the word “activism”), I jokingly answered simply that it was like Christmas all month long!  It’s August 24 and people are still speaking out against their elected officials — my own liberal Congressman Frank Pallone gets his own town hall [...]

Shouting Down the House

August 4, 2009

It’s been great to see all these town hall meetings going on across the land where Dems defending Obamacare without having read the bill are getting an earful from their constituents.  I also love that the Left is completely frustrated by concerned citizens they essentially call a Republican “mob.”
However, in all the excitement something got [...]

I Heart Cheney

May 22, 2009

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 [...]

Beck on Obama Media Bias

March 2, 2009

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 [...]

Rush at CPAC

March 1, 2009

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 [...]

The Tax Protests Expand

February 21, 2009

The idea for a “Chicago Tea Party” is growing.  Since CNBC’s Rick Santelli’s rant on Thursday, this website has popped up and news about other tax protests (not revolts just yet) are proliferating everywhere except in MSM coverage– they don’t seem to care or notice.
Question, though, if this is to morph into ”Tea Party USA” as some have urged:  [...]

244-188: Stimulus Passes House sans Republicans

January 28, 2009

Sweetness.  Not a single Republican broke ranks to vote for the $819 billion “stimulus” package (not including the extra 300 million or so in interest we’ll eventually have to pay on the deficit because of this bill), and 11 Blue Dogs decided they wanted to be reelected in 2010 without the stench of this monstrosity.
I anticipate [...]

Bloomberg’s Thin Skin on Kennedy

January 26, 2009

New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has always been a liberal, occasionally piggy-backing on others during his climb to power (read: Rudy Giuliani). 
That being said, Mayor Mike’s thin skin (or utter reluctance to criticize the Kennedy Klan) came out when he described the press’ treatment of CAROLINE KENNEDY as “reprehensible” and ”totally inappropriate” in regards to the [...]

Palin Highlights Obama-Ayers Connection

October 5, 2008

Finally, it seems like someone on the McCain-Palin ticket actually wants to win this election!  In her latest rounds of stump speeches, Palin is highlighting Obama’s unsavory connection to Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.  It’s about time that this relationship be vetted.
The Obama Campaign is trying to laugh this off, calling it “desperate” and their [...]

Rasmussen: People are Seeing the Bias

September 10, 2008

New numbers from Scott Rasmussen indicate that a full 51% of Likely Voters believe that the media is trying to hurt Sarah Palin, while only 5% think the MSM is trying to help her.  Only 35% think that the MSM has been providing unbiased coverage (wonder who they are voting for?).
It is pretty obvious what’s [...]

RNC– Day 3: Sarah, Rudy, Mike and Mitt

September 4, 2008

Last night’s Republican line-up was awesome!  When Republicans fight back and articulate our basic winning principles in such a fashion as last night, we’re very hard to beat.  After 9pm EDT the activities began in earnest:
Mitt Romney’s speech was pretty good.  I thought he started slow but really gained momentum when he articulated conservative principles in his [...]

Let the Smears Begin!

September 2, 2008

It began today in earnest:  the MSM onslaught against the McCain-Palin ticket is in full force after using the Labor Day holiday to figure out a way to attack McCain-Palin.  It’s been tricky.
Drudge has a good balance of the smearing on his site, including McCain’s response to what’s been going on since Friday at around 12:50 pm EDT: [...]

Gitmo Conviction

August 6, 2008

Weeping as the verdict was read, Bin Laden’s old driver Salim Hamdan was found guilty of terrorism, not conspiracy, by a six-member military tribunal.  Since he was only convicted on the first count, he’ll probably just have his stay at Gitmo extended for the rest of his life. 
US troops found him in a car in Afghanistan in November [...]

Obama’s Media Darlings to Follow Him on Trip

July 18, 2008

As if there was any doubt about the MSM’s Big Three network’s bias towards Barack Obama, this removes all suggestion to the contrary.  Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams, and Katie Couric are all going along on the trip!  John McCain’s been to Iraq three times since campaigning began last year (that sound you hear is crickets), and eight [...]

Finishing the “Real War” in Iraq

July 17, 2008

There’s this story going around the AP this morning which indicates that some soldiers are longing to go to the “real war” in Afghanistan, as Iraq is becoming the more quiet of the two battlefields lately.  With violence against Coalition troops in Iraq on pace to be the lowest in years and the Dems even [...]

Phil Gramm’s Nation of Whiners

July 11, 2008

Wednesday, Phil Gramm, former Senator from Texas and Presidential candidate back in 1996, said the following in an interview with the Washington Times:
“You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession,” he said, noting that growth has held up at about 1 percent despite all the publicity over losing jobs to India, China, illegal [...]

Headscarves are Out in the Obama-Nation

June 18, 2008

In an Obama Nation, those traditional Muslim headscarves (hijabs) that some women wear will not be allowed in photo-ops.  At least that’s what happened in Detroit on Monday! 
The Obama camp apologized for what two of his campaign’s volunteers did on Monday by asking two women with hijabs to get off the stage.  Both volunteers gave different excuses: a heightened [...]

Now John McCain has a Crazy Reverend? Nice Try.

May 4, 2008

Liberal New York Times Opinion Editorial Columnist Frank Rich wrote this piece, trying to play “gotcha” with John McCain over John Hagee, a radical white preacher who has endorsed McCain.  Where Rich’s argument collapses is about when Rich says: “It boils down to this: Mr. McCain was not a parishioner for 20 years at Mr. Hagee’s [...]

Don’t Stop the NCGOP Ad!

April 25, 2008

I know I’m going to disagree with John McCain more times than my conscience will like, but he needs to back off this one. The North Carolina Republican Party is trying to paint a Barack Obama out of touch with mainstream North Carolinians by citing Obama’s close relationship to the crazy Reverend Wright.
Here’s the ad which is causing [...]

LA Times Plays Age, Disability Card on McCain

April 24, 2008

While the Democrats are in a locked Pyrrhic duel to the political death, the MSM (represented this time by the LA Times) has run this bigoted hit-piece on John McCain.  It’s really sad that they’ve gone this low, yet it’s hypocritical at the same time.
The crux of the argument infers that McCain’s too old, sick and [...]

MSM Attacks Lead to Actual Attacks!

March 24, 2008

So says a Harvard study on that very topic. 
I guess it takes a study by a group of leftist Ivy-League brainiacs (economists of all people!) to figure something out that makes perfect sense to us normal folk:  “anti-resolve” statements in our press correlate to increased attacks by insurgents in Iraq, who by and large have access to [...]
