Saturday, October 4th, 2008

If the American public were to watch this video and learn the truth, they’d storm Capitol Hill with pitchforks and torches:

Hat tip to Hot Air.
Spread the word about this video, see below.

Joe Biden calls Charlie Rangel unpatriotic?

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Lessee…
Joe Biden, Democrat, says paying higher taxes is patriotic. Okay, check.
Meanwhile, Charlie Rangel, Democrat, fails to pay taxes on rent money he’s collecting on his villa in the Dominican Republic. Check.
So, therefore, Joe Biden has just called Charlie Rangel unpatriotic.
Sounds logical to me!

House Speaker Pelosi calls Bush ‘a total failure’
Oh yeah, Nancy,don’t forget this:
The public’s view of Congress is even worse. Its approval rating has hit a new low of just 18 percent, down from 23 percent last month, according to a new AP-Ipsos poll.

The ‘Bush Lied” Lie Exposed

Monday, June 9th, 2008

The last media outlet on Earth that you’d expect to expose one of the Left’s most cherished myths, did just that this morning. The Washington Post–yes, the POST, not the Times–actually published today an editorial titled “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple.”
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when […]

Ding dong, the witch…

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

…well, okay, it’s her CAMPAIGN that’s dead (or in its last throes, at least), according to AP/Yahoo! News and Michelle Malkin:
Definitely a two-popcorn bag night if you’re a political junkie. It’s the final Democrat primary night of the campaign season. Polls close in South Dakota at 9pm Eastern and in Montana at 10 pm. […]

Arrivederci, eh?

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I’ll be more than happy to pack your bags, honey:
SUSAN SARANDON, who appeared in three films last year and won kudos for her TV movie “Bernard and Doris,” is still not a contented soul. She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, “It’s a critical time, […]

They gave him (political) life, they can take it away

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Well, as noted before on this blog, the MSM has begun its campaign to trash their favorite RINO, John McCain, after spending months and great effort to have him become the Republican presidential candidate. Michelle Malkin says “Maybe McCain will really mean it now when he jokes about the ‘jerks from the media.’” […]

And if he, um, breaks wind, will he get a standing ovation?

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Un-freakin-believable. Just when you thought you’ve heard it all on the “Cult of Obama,” there’s this:
It’s probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose.
Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama has a head cold.
And about a […]

Democrat-controlled Congress hard at work protecting Americans

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Oh, wait:
The word is that House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif) will be rushing votes today because one of her daughters is getting married this Valentine’s Day weekend.
A quick web search reveals that Christine Pelosi was recently engaged and staying mum on the date and location of the ceremony.
Today the House considers a FISA […]

Cue the negative McCain stories from the MSM now

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Now that McCain has pretty much become a shoe-in (no, Hillary, I spelled it “shoe,” not “Hsu“) for the Republican nomination, expect to see the MSM trash their favorite Republican from now until the November election.
You’ll see the headlines they were holding back, like these:

McCain’s Keating Five past could haunt his candidacy
Immigration […]

Shameless and shameful Berkeley (updated)

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Berkeley’s at it again:
The City of Berkeley, California has passed two resolutions attacking the United States Marine Corps, calling the Marines, “uninvited and unwelcome intruders in the city.”
The Berkeley City Council voted to condemn the Marines on Tuesday night (January 29th) as part of a campaign by anti-war activists to shut down a U.S. […]

Vote… for… Romney!

Monday, January 28th, 2008

I haven’t said much about who I’d like to see as President. Until now.
I had initially liked Duncan Hunter because of his conservative creds. But unfortunately, he found little traction in a hostile media so he bowed out.
My next choice, Fred Thompson, did poorly in his must-win state, South […]

Jerkeley anti-military, anti-American Berkeley

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This item, via Michelle Malkin, has me (a proud Army veteran) seeing red:
In response to a Marine Corps recruiting office established in Berkeley last year, local activists are trying to make it more difficult for future recruiting centers to open in the city.
If passed by a majority of Berkeley voters, a proposed initiative would […]

We’re letting Cuba and China drill us…

Friday, January 25th, 2008

…thanks to our left-wing:
Cuba’s state-run oil company, Cubapetroleo, has inked a deal with China’s Sinopec to explore for oil in its half of the Florida Strait and is using Chinese-made drilling equipment to conduct the exploration. Since oil fields do not respect international boundaries, Cuba and others will be pumping petroleum that should be […]

NY Times endorsement=kiss of death

Friday, January 25th, 2008

John McCain gets endorsed by the New York Times today (for the primary, mind you). As if he didn’t already have enough problems with conservatives…
Below is some of what the NY Times said about McCain, with our comments in italics. Oh, BTW, a big “Thank You” to Michelle Malkin for noting this […]

McCajun? Ugh!

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

With all the recent excitement over the Billary-Obama feud, the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primary, and my own early voting in my home state of Florida, I’d almost forgotten about the Louisiana caucuses last night. Michelle Malkin has the (bad) news:
Senator John McCain has won the Republican party’s caucuses in Louisiana while […]

Fisking NYT editorial on Indiana voter ID law

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Patterico’s Pontifications (a blog I added to the blogroll, BTW) started a contest today, asking readers to fisk a New York Times editorial against an Indiana law that would require voters to have a photo ID.
I took a stab at it in the comments section. But I went through too much work […]
