Health Care: Treating A Life And Death Situation Like A Mere Political Game
I believe that one of the unspoken reasons for the furious tenor of the health care debate has been the profoundly non-serious way the whole issue has been handled by the Democrats. We’re talking about a government takeover of 1/6 of the US economy — so, this is an issue that will literally affect the lives [...]
Why Is America Paying Such Reverence to China’s 60th Anniversary?
On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong led the Communist Party of China into power. Since then, anywhere between 35 to 65 million people have been killed in China by the communists. The Great Leap Forward was the second five year plan implemented by Mao in 1959. It was intended to rapidly develop China’s industrial sector through [...]
The Curious Case of Linda McMahon
We seem to have a trio of sudden Republicans in the news these days. I say sudden because there is a lack of any long history on the part of these three candidates of being Republicans for very long before running for office. In fact, it seems that all three only became Republicans once they [...]
NBC’s Gregory Assumes Liberal Argument for Healthcare, Raises ‘Right Wing Conspiracy’
In a Meet the Press interview with Bill Clinton on September 27, NBC’s David Gregory seemed to assume as accepted fact that the only way to fix healthcare was for Americans to “pay higher taxes.” He also asked the former chief executive if the “vast right wing conspiracy” that his wife bemoaned in 1998 was [...]
Democrats Kill Public Option In Senate
Not that I’m complaining. Max Baucus’ Senate Finance Committee voted on Jay Rockefeller’s public option amendment. No joy for public option supporters: After five hours of debate, the Senate Finance Committee this afternoon voted down Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s proposal for a public option to compete with private insurers. Though a majority of the committee’s Democrats supported it, [...]
Only 16% Like The Job Congress Is Doing… Surprise!
Surprise, Surprise! It does not matter which side of the isle you are on, or if you are right in the middle, you are disgusted with congress. When the American people pay attention to politics, congress tries its very best to put on more than a show than normal. What a sad thing to see. [...]
Al Franken, the New Senator From ACORN
Before he became our Community Organizer in Chief, Comrade Obama was known to some as “the Senator From ACORN” due to his extremely close ties to that nefarious organization. The dubious title now belongs to an equally dubious Senator, who took office after resorting to vote fraud more blatant than you will find in most [...]
Ghouls Sell Aborted Babies for Parts
You can make big money in abortion. Not only do women pay handsomely to have their inconvenient children killed, sometimes repeatedly, but Big Government shovels mountains of taxpayer money at the abortion industry, and under ObamaCare will soon shovel mountains more. Plus, you can sell body parts from the babies you kill. Testimony from an employee [...]
The Tabloid Trash Beat: Obama’s Enemies List Revealed!
Saying The Globe is not a credible source of news is like saying that getting to the top of Mt. Everest might be a “wee bit of an undertaking.” Still, when I saw that their current issue had an actual Obama enemies list? I grabbed that with both hands — and I was richly rewarded with [...]
Deadline: The Military Vote In NJ and VA
My friends at ProjectVirginia have a non-partisan effort going to get absentee ballots into the hands of military personnel who want them. The deadline is approaching. Consider this a guest post they put together. For all the attention paid to the recent voting in Iraq and Afghanistan, one would think that the process for getting absentee [...]
Democrat Who Received Sweetheart Countrywide Deals Blocks Investigations
Shocker, eh? California Republican Representative Darrell Issa is another public figure hot on Bank of America’s tail. And this time it doesn’t have anything to do with the Merrill acquisition, which is what most folks are concerned with. His concern is Countrywide’s old and controversial “VIP” program, which channeled sweetheart loans to influential figures. Issa is looking to [...]
My latest Townhall column is called 20 Questions About Obamacare. Here’s an excerpt: Because Barack Obama voted “present” on the health care bill by refusing to submit his own bill, Americans have been left with a number of different bills in Congress to evaluate. This has been made more difficult by the fact that the Democrats, [...]
Phelim McAleer joined me to discuss his new movie “Not Evil Just Wrong“. We talked about how environmental policy hurts the poor the worst. It’s a fascinating discussion. Then, I talked with Steve Schippert of Threatswatch about Obama’s handling of Afghanistan and the new threat in Iran. Finally, John Hawkins and I argue about whether people [...]
AIP Column: Climate Change Legislation: A Man-Made Unnatural Disaster
Here come Barbara Boxer and John Kerry to unsave the day and destroy the world. Just a bit: What Barbara Boxer and John Kerry have crafted is yet another payoff to cronies couched in world-saving terms. It’s a pay-off to California. It’s a pay-off to environmentalist wackos. And, it’s all based on flim-flam science. Americans need to [...]
National Science Foundation More Like National P0rn Foundation
Hey, maybe this is why we get so many rediculous and idiotic climate alarmist reports Employee misconduct investigations, often involving workers accessing pornography from their government computers, grew sixfold last year inside the taxpayer-funded foundation that doles out billions of dollars of scientific research grants, according to budget documents and other records obtained by The Washington [...]
Liz Cheney and the Fingers Malloy Factor
Liz Cheney was one of the featured speakers at the Smart Girl Summit in Nashville. She is currently being stalked by a New York TImes reporter who introduced himself to the RFC Radio crew as we were doing our live remote. While I can be quite engaging, he was more attracted to another member of [...]
The People Defending Roman Polanski Are Grotesque Human Beings
That scumbag, Roman Polanski, who has been given a free pass for decades after raping a 13 year-old-girl, may now finally face justice — and some people don’t like it: From a Swiss jail, director Roman Polanski told his lawyer to fight any attempt to extradite him to California to face 31-year-old rape charges. “He wants to [...]
Reactions From The People On The Right Voted “Least Favorite” By Conservative Bloggers
On Friday, the Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select Their Least Favorite People On The Right (2009 Edition) poll was released on Right Wing News. Intriguingly, some of the people who made the list responded and I found their responses to be quite revealing. Here’s Charles Johnson from Little Green Footballs’ reaction to being detested by many of the very [...]
Waxman-Markey: 397 New Regulations And 1,100 New Mandates
This story slipped quietly under the radar last week as we had the UN speech, the Iran revelation and the G20. An examination of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade legislation finds it contains 397 new regulations and 1,100 new mandates. And you’ll be pleased to know it will simplify your life, make child birth pleasant and [...]
Social Security to Run a Deficit?

Is The NRSC Jumping the Gun in California?
Rasmussen polling group has recently reported its findings on the upcoming California Senate race and the results seem to say that the National Republican Senate Committee has jumped the gun by endorsing a candidate so early in the race. To date, Rasmussen has found that incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer (D) is holding her own against both [...]
Unions Threatened by New House Healthcare Provision?
The Democrat leadership of the House of Representatives now wants to pay for H.R.3200 — the House healthcare bill — by charging a tax on the so-called Cadillac healthcare plans. This surtax is something that has been talked about in the Senate and forms an integral part of the Baucus bill, but this is the [...]
For those having difficulty making sense of Obamunist doubletalk, Bob Maistros offers a helpful glossary. Be sure to have it on hand next time you try to sit through a speech by Dear Leader. Action (as in “now is the time for action”) — big government. Balanced and sustained (as in “chart a course for growth that [...]
His student Comrade Obama, who has been attempting to destroy democracy in Honduras so as to reduce it to a client state of Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship, isn’t the only prominent American Hugo Chavez can count as a friend. Ultra-left Hollyweird propagandist Oliver Stone just released a video hagiography of our generation’s Fidel Castro entitled “South of [...]
When I finally get down to business, interruptions infuriate me. I like to work and be completely focused on the task at hand and finish it and be done. Motherhood has thwarted me over and over. Motherhood is non-stop interruptions. But so is working online from home. I’m writing and BAM! an IM. I’m IMing and [...]
What is the best defense against a predator? A passive defense and kind words. Enter Colorado environmentalists who romanticize the black bears’ increased boldness and the attacks that come with them. But this is just a metaphor, really. Our new President sees the worlds predators–Iran, North Korea, Al Qaeda, etc.–and sees a fuzzy widdle puff ball [...]
AGW Today: Frequent Flyer Miles, Not Change, Are On The Wind
I really need to change my tune regarding climate change. As the saying goes, I’m doing it wrong. If I were a True Believer, I might be able to join in on all the world trotting trips! If international confabs held last week in New York and Pittsburgh produced anything worth noting in the area of [...]
Oops! BoA Suspends All Committments To ACORN
Poor ACORN, they just can’t catch a break Already facing the loss of federal government funding, the community-organizing group Acorn also has run afoul of one of its big corporate partners, Bank of America Corp. In response to questions from The Wall Street Journal, a spokesman for the banking company said it has “suspended current commitments” to [...]
Canadians Push for ‘Private Option’
A great report at today’s Los Angeles Times, “In Canada, a Move Toward a Private Healthcare Option“: When the pain in Christina Woodkey’s legs became so severe that she could no long hike or cross-country ski, she went to her local health clinic. The Calgary, Canada, resident was told she’d need to see a hip specialist. [...]
What’s the Difference Between a Conservative and a Liberal?
People often wonder what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. The simple fact of the matter is that the major difference is that conservatives wonder first what it is they are responsible for while liberals wonder first what everyone else should be doing for them. Here are some brief rules of thumb: If a [...]
RINO Candidates or Conservative News: Which One is Worth Your Money?
It’s really easy to be an ace journalist for the Atlantic if you never leave your underground blogging lair. On the other hand, real journalists know how to pick up a telephone and make a couple phone calls before they start banging away on their keyboards. Like the man himself says: Reporting ain’t rocket science. I do [...]
Obama Cuts Border Patrol Manning On Southern Border
The southern border of America is 1,954 miles long. According to the Border Patrol, it now has “effective control” over only 697 of those miles. Within the last year, 530 aliens from “special interest countries” were caught by our Border Patrol, as were three people “linked to terrorism.” Out of 32 regions the National Drug Intelligence Center [...]
GOP: Standing in the way of Utopia.
Because clearly they’re entirely too accomodating to dissenting viewpoints. If anything, the Democrats’ problem is that they permit too much dissent—unlike the Republicans, who demand “lockstep marching.” In fact, if Democrats would learn to be just a little less tolerant of dissent, they might get a lot more done. Yeah, they just get STEAMROLLED. [...]
Barack To Keep Bush Detention Policy. Wait, What?
Let’s see. After non-stop whining from Barack on the campaign trail, which, of course, he is still on despite winning last November, about the Bush/Rove/Cheney jihadi detention policies, what has Barry done? If you guessed “voted present,” give yourself a late afternoon shot of Tequila The Obama administration has decided not to seek new legislation from [...]
Poll: Who would you most favor as GOP nominee in 2012?
Over at Instpundit, Glenn Reynolds has up a poll asking people who they’d like to see as the GOP nominee in 2012. Since RWN’s readership is probably a little more conservative and a little less Libertarian, I wanted to see how the numbers matched up. With that in mind… Who would you most favor as GOP [...]
Obamacare Mandates Will Cost Business $49 Billion a Year
by H.R. 3200 and the other legislation barreling through Congress will cost America’s businesses $49 billion a year if passed. According to the Heritage Foundation the mandates in the bills now under consideration will force employers to buy healthcare insurance for their employees or pay a [...]
Leftist Thugs Wreak Havoc in Honduras
When our government’s allies in Honduras — the ones who support Mel Zelaya’s attempted communist coup — found out the Hugo Chavez wannabe was back in the country, they ran riot: After several weeks of relative peace and calm in Honduras — and no curfews, despite what the international media consistently misreports — former president Mel [...]
A persistent complaint in the male-dominated political blogosphere is the difficulty getting a woman. Guys like Ace and Allah have made their hard luck in love laments part of their schtick. Well. Wayne Elise makes his living helping men find women. I suggested to him that we should have a lonely hearts male blogger meet-up, [...]
Bloomberg: Food Rules Are for Thee, Not for Me
Nanny Nazi Mike Bloomberg — who insists on regulating every last bite New Yorkers put in their own mouths — has dietary habits that must put his cardiologist into shock: He dumps salt on almost everything, even saltine crackers. He devours burnt bacon and peanut butter sandwiches. He has a weakness for hot dogs, cheeseburgers, and [...]
Envirowackos Have An Issue With Your Delicate Posterior
If they have their way, afternoons of watching football with beer and hot wings will end There is a battle for America’s behinds. It is a fight over toilet paper: the kind that is blanket-fluffy and getting fluffier so fast that manufacturers are running out of synonyms for “soft” (Quilted Northern Ultra Plush is the first big [...]
Obama At United Nations: Anti-Israeli Sentiment Gets Biggest Applause
It’s the new way of doing things. Playing nice with enemies and ditching allies. An art form Barack Obama has perfected in his short time as Agitator In Chief, as he drives his big bus right over Israel In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace “without preconditions,” President Obama used his speech to [...]
Indoctrination: Quizzed on Obama’s speech
From Smart Girl Nation: A member’s daughter, a senior in high school, had come home upset because, although the speech was not shown in her school, her anatomy teacher had made the class watch the President’s health care speech. After the video was shown, the students were given a short quiz about the speech. The questions [...]
Why The UN Will Love Obama’s Speech (Update)
It appears that today is the day for rather scathing assessments of President Obama in the British press. This one by Nile Gardiner. He points out that the third-world debating club, known as the UN, will certainly deliver a standing ovation to their favorite US president in a while. But, says Gardiner, [...]
It’s Time For A Congressional Investigation Into Sibel Edmunds Allegations
Sibel Edmunds was a Turkish and Farsi translator who worked for the FBI after 9/11. Eventually, after a dispute, she was fired. The FBI says it was for legitimate reasons. Edmunds says it was for whistleblowing. Since then, she has been trying to draw attention to her claims while the FBI reaction has been to [...]
Digg On Obama’s Agenda: They’re Pretty Lukewarm On It
Digg isn’t a political website per se, but it is an extremely popular, leftward leaning link website. So, when I noticed they had a thread about this… Vice President Joe Biden said today that if Democrats were to lose 35 House seats they currently hold in traditionally Republican districts, it would mean doomsday for President Obama’s [...]
I Agree: Birth Control COULD Save the Planet
This may shock many of my conservative fans, but I cannot remain quiet about my support for the singularly brilliant idea that Obama’s so-called science czar offered in the 1975 college textbook Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment. Birth control, it was theorized, could save the planet. I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree. In 1975, John [...]
Union Rules: Teachers Paid Not to Teach
Here is yet another story where union members undergoing disciplinary procedures can sometimes spend years being paid their full salary to sit home and watch TV, doing nothing, working not a minute of their day. In this case it is costing a local school system at least $2.25 million to pay teachers that aren’t teaching. This [...]
Obama to Waste More Growing Welfare in a Year Than Bush Spent on Entire Iraq War
When liberals whine that the war to liberate Iraq cost too much, they make an argument that would be reasonable — but only if someone else were making it. We now know that their Teleprompter Messiah will flush more money down welfare in the next year than Bush spent on the entire war. During the entire [...]
Congresscritters to Investigate ACORN — And Those Who Exposed It
There is no good or evil in Liberal Land. Everything is a nuanced shade of murky gray. Moonbattologists call this “moral relativism,” a principle that has been applied yet again as two particularly unseemly congressional Democrats, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers (whose wife has been busted on felony bribery charges) and the [...]
Dick Morris Knows How To Kill Obamacare
Dick Morris has done an absolutely fantastic video talking about how to stop Obamacare: Now you’re probably saying, another health care argument? We’re hearing these day in, day out, all over the place. What makes this one so exceptional? I’ll tell you what makes this one great: In this video, Dick Morris completely ignores ideology and [...]
Sarah Palin V. Barack Obama: Round Whatever
As President Obama pontificates before the UN talking about his four pillars, the first one being disarmament, also known as defanging the West so they’re helpless before an enemy that will never disarm, Sarah Palin talks about what is important to the American people and the economic world: It’s the economy, stupid. Foreign policy often hinges [...]
Canada To Walk Out On Ahmadinejad At U.N.
Yesterday, I mention that Germany has pledged that it will walk out on Mahmoud during his speech if he goes into his typical Holocaust denial and Jew hatred modes, and was urging other E.U. countries to do the same. Now, Canada goes a step further Canada will boycott Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the United [...]
Democrats Tell The Truth About Afghanistan
Hullabaloo comes out and tells us what most Democrats/Liberals/Progressives think about Afghanistan Escalation is a bad idea. The Democrats backed themselves into defending the idea of Afghanistan being The Good War because they felt they needed to prove their macho bonafides they called for withdrawal from Iraq. Nobody asked too many questions sat the time, including [...]
Killing private insurers… it begins.
From the Wall Street Journal: Earlier this month, Humana sent a one-page letter to its customers enrolled in its Medicare Advantage plans, which offer private options to Medicare beneficiaries. Humana noted that, because of spending cuts proposed by Democrats, “millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that make [...]
Obama OK, Democrats In Trouble
Charlie Cook, one of the most respected of the political prognosticators, continues to sound the alarm for Congressional Democrats. Since August, Cook has been telling them they’re headed for electoral disaster in the 2010 midterms if they don’t change their ways. Most of the erosion of support has taken place among independents. Although the [...]
McChrystal May Resign if Not Given More Troops
President Obama said the war in Afghanistan was a “war of necessity.” He told the Veterans of Foreign Wars, “Those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which Al Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans.” Now it [...]
Tucson Schools to Impose Race-Based Discipline
Our post-racial era of Hopey Change means apartheid for kids trapped in Tucson’s public schools. In addition to various programs that waste mountains of taxpayer money to promote not being Caucasian, the Tucson Unified School District has taken racial bean-counting to the ultimate extreme of absurdity by imposing a quota system for discipline: The board is [...]
Abortion Addict Racks Up 15 Kills and Counting
Not all serial killers are wanted by the police. Self-described abortion addict Irene Vilar is free to kill and kill again with the active encouragement of authorities, who confiscate your money to help finance her homicidal activities. Vilar has committed 15 abortions in 16 years. Here’s how ABC sees fit to report on her accomplishment, and [...]
