‘We See You in Our Rearview Mirror Trying to Surpass Us Off The Cliff’

"You deserve better, my friends, and we expect better..."
I have been listening to and reading about Daniel Hannan for a few years now. I imagine our Founding Fathers had more than a bit of the Brit left in their accents and proper English as they discussed and debated the basic founding of our republic post-Revolution. [...]

CPAC 2012: Senator Marco Rubio’s Full Address

Speaks for itself...

Speaks for us.

Parallels

Earlier this week Alberto posted a story on the upcoming primaries in Venezuela. You can gather the people of that country are hoping for change in their next presidential election. I believe many of us can sympathize with them. For over three years some of us have made the comparisons between Obama and Hugo Chavez. [...]

Greed: Wall Street’s and Washington’s Mutual Investments in “Friends, Favors, and Fealty”

I hope the Babalu family and community had a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Sorry I have been a bit MIA the last couple weeks, but I had a lot on my plate.
While trying to get back up to speed in the blog and news world this caught my eye over at Ace of Spades [...]

“We Are The 47%”: Guess What Sales Broke A Record on “Black Friday”

Struggling for ideas for that perfect gift this Christmas? This past "Black Friday" gun sales broke the previous sales record by 1/3. (Read the comments at the link and weigh the tone ... and at an MSNBC link, of all places!) "We are the 47%". The last gun sales record was set in late summer-early [...]

Adam Carolla: Occupy Wall Street is The Ungrateful Free Range Generation Come Back to Bite Us in The Rear

I've heard clips of Adam Carolla's radio talk show before, and he is always quite frank and colorful in his pull-no-punches opinionating on subjects. Generally he comes off as a mix of libertarian and conservative. Glenn Beck highlighted this bit of Adam Carolla on an anti-Occupy Wall Street rant, that is really very spot-on [...]

Old Marxist Wind Bag Deflated

The two strongest things I gather from this brief snips of snipes from Fox-Piven are:
1. Not only is there a growing population of conservative students in our colleges/universities, but they are no longer afraid to voice their opposition
2. Given this is a private Christian college (Messiah College) hosting a very far leftist speaker, does it [...]

The three curses

Excellent commentary in American Thinker titled "Obama and the 3 curses" that gets to the nub of the issue...
Recently, I came across something spooky. Composing a political comment to share with friends, I referenced the putative ancient Chinese curse may you live in interesting times. It's an old saw of unknown [...]

MSNBC’s Psycho Talking Slug Attacks Sen. Marco Rubio

Once again Eddie practices "cherry-picking" out of context and loose editing to make his point fit an agenda. If you take the time to listen to a Paul Ryan plan, or more specifically to the full context of Rubio's speech you'll find Marco Rubio was saying the complete opposite of what the MSNBC dolt Schultz [...]

Well, We Tried To Warn You…

Remember when your mom told you if you didn't tie your shoes properly you'd trip and fall, and hurt yourself? She was right. So were we...
Norm Podhoretz at the Wall Street Journal: What Happened to Obama? Absolutely Nothing. He is still the same anti-American leftist he was before becoming our president.
[...] In short, the spell [...]

When is a working “burger-flipper” a good employment figure?

Of course, with Gov. Perry tossing his Ten Gallon Hat into the GOP race for the 2012 POTUS ticket, the MSM has to get busy fast on 'deconstructing' the man whose state has led the nation in growing employment (yes, it's "employment", not "unemployment" ... no typo), business growth, and strong economy. Perry might very [...]

John Kerry Stomps His Foot With The MSM Over Being Too “Fair and Balanced”

John "F-ing" Kerry demands the MSM stop giving equal voice to the TEA Party and opposition to Obama's agenda...
Um, censorship, anyone?

What I find even more disturbing not one person sitting on that MSNBC panel of the Morning Joe program challenged him.
Glenn Beck and Co. analyzes it ...

HT: Glenn Beck
Think he would have made a good [...]

Sen. Marco Rubio: “This is not a surprise. This didn’t just sneak up on us.”

Imagine That … John Lennon a Closet Republican

Duck because leftist/liberal heads are about to explode, and you don't want to get any of it on you ...
John Lennon was a closet Republican, who felt a little embarrassed by his former radicalism, at the time of his death - according to the tragic Beatles star's last personal assistant.
Fred Seaman worked alongside the music [...]

How Bad-Off are We? Want to See Some Nightmare Charts?

The Heritage Foundation has put together and just-released an expanded 2011 Budget Chart Book on America's fiscal nightmare. It ain't pretty.
Just as ugly are the charts on the rise in structural unemployment.
In a classic CYA move a former Obama advisor assures, “We’re doing OK” without a budget. Huh?!?!? Really??? Yeah, this is why the Congress [...]

Oh, Snap!

Texas Gov. Rick Perry not sounding like he's not running at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.
Dave In Texas @ Ace of Spades grabs a "Check List" from the video:
"This administration in Washington clearly believes that government is not only the answer to every need but it's the most qualified to make essential decision [...]

Alien Life-Forms in Hollywood

A few years ago I was informed you will find lots of conservatives working in Hollywood. They're either "in the closet", or working in that wide zone out of camera range. But we are seeing more and more come out of said closet. Your actors are a minority, yes, but when it comes down to [...]

Chile Celebrates A Different Kind Of May Day

Everyone knows what castro's idea of May Day is - tanks, turbas, thugs and long, long, long speeches about dictatorship of the proletariat and yanqui imperialismo. It's hard to mess up a holiday to the extent he has.
castro and Allende: Love
But over in Chile, a nation that in 1973 escaped castro's grasp, fought him off [...]
