16 May 2013 5:47 am

How bad is the IRS scandal for Obama? So bad that EVEN JON STEWART is making fun of Obama.

Stewart noted how at Obama’s big press conference on Monday, there was a “question limit of one, total, from the entire American press corps,” but a reporter smartly exploited a loophole by asking four questions in the same question. Obama began his answer explaining that he learned about IRS targeting in the same news reports …

State of California Forces Woman To Pay Alimony To Man Who Raped Her Daughter
16 May 2013 4:55 am

This story is so horrific that your first reaction may be that this isn’t possible in the United States. In fact, it sounds like just the sort of thing that would happen in a primitive dung heap like Pakistan as opposed to California. Yet and still….

A mother who was forced to pay spousal support to the ex-husband who was convicted of raping her daughter is speaking out to CBS2.
“Every time I wrote that check, I cried because I felt like I was paying the man that raped my daughter,” Carol …

Blockbuster:The Obama Administration TAPED PHONE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS & AP REPORTERS
16 May 2013 3:42 am

I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t gotten as excited about the Associated Press phone taps as some other people have. That’s because when Bush was in office, I thought that his administration wasn’t nearly as aggressive as it should have been in investigating leaks of classified information. So, if Obama was going after people who leaked classified info to the AP and got a judge to approve it, then I didn’t have a big problem with that.

However, this new information changes that equation and makes this …

Mitch McConnell: The IRS Can’t Be Involved In Obamacare
16 May 2013 2:11 am

How damaging is the IRS scandal to the Obama Administration? Well, the Republican’s timid Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has spent the last five years being beaten like a rented mule by Harry Reid and Barack Obama, is effectively going on the offensive against the Obama Administration for the first time since, well, ever….

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tells Newsmax TV that the current scandal facing the Internal Revenue Service proves that the agency cannot be trusted to implement Obamacare.
“I don’t think so,” the Kentucky Republican says in an …

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association: Obama’s IRS Was “Targeting and Attempting to Intimidate Us”
15 May 2013 5:04 am

Billy Graham is a good and decent man. He’s also one of the most beloved Christians in the United States. Unfortunately, he’s also an opponent of the Obama Administration,which may have made him a target for the IRS.

Franklin Graham, the president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the family’s international humanitarian organization Samaritan’s Purse, said that the IRS notified the organizations in September that it was conducting a “review” of their activities for tax year 2010.
With the IRS admitting it gave extra scrutiny to conservative political organizations, Graham says …

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus Calls on Eric Holder To Resign Over AP Phone Records
15 May 2013 4:31 am

The Republican National Convention isn’t pulling any punches on the Associated Press scandal. The RNC Chairman, Reince Priebus, is calling on Eric Holder to resign.

Today, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to resign after the revelation that he allowed the Justice Department to monitor Associated Press reporters’ phone conversations in a direct violation of the First Amendment:
“Freedom of the press is an essential right in a free society. The First Amendment doesn’t request the federal government to respect it; it demands it. Attorney General …

An Interview With Mary Eberstadt On Her New Book “How the West Really Lost God: A New Theory of Secularization”
15 May 2013 3:57 am

I interviewed Mary Eberstadt last week on her new book, How the West Really Lost God: A New Theory of Secularization. Here’s the slightly edited transcript of our interview.

One of the core ideas of your book is that declines in Christianity and the disintegration of the American family are strongly connected. Can you talk about that, especially in light of the fact that birth rate/religion don’t always seem to be tightly connected in every circumstance?
…In Western Europe you now have historically low rates of church attendance and religious affiliations …

The Tragedy Of The Moral Commons: Why America’s Collapsing Morally
15 May 2013 12:01 am

Ever heard of the tragedy of the commons? It’s a classic economics argument that goes like so:
The tragedy of the commons develops in this way. Picture a pasture open to all. It is to be expected that each herdsman will try to keep as many cattle as possible on the commons. Such an arrangement may work reasonably satisfactorily for centuries because tribal wars, poaching, and disease keep the numbers of both man and beast well below the carrying capacity of the land. Finally, however, comes the day of reckoning, that …

Mitch McConnell: We May Need A Special Prosecutor To Investigate The IRS Attacks On the Tea Party
14 May 2013 8:12 am

I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m not a big fan of Mitch McConnell, although he’s actually been showing a little more fire lately because he’s up for reelection in 2014 and is afraid he’ll have to face a primary. It’s funny how that works, isn’t it?

Yet and still, McConnell is at least taking the right tone on the politically motivated persecution of the Tea Parties by the IRS.
Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell tells National Review that Steven Miller, the acting head of the Internal Revenue Service, …

Detroit Is So Bankrupt It Can’t Even Borrow More Money: Unions About To Be Shredded
14 May 2013 7:52 am

Want to see what unions do over the long-term? Well then, look at Detroit. It used to be a prosperous, blue collar city. But since unreasonable union demands have crippled the Big 3 Automakers, a lot of jobs fled the city. After the jobs left, the people followed. Now, large sections of Detroit are uninhabited and falling apart. Furthermore, the plunging tax revenue combined with the rampant overspending of the liberal politicians the unions supported has put the city in a hole bigger than it could ever climb out of …

Dick Cheney Hammers Obama On Benghazi: Subpoena Hillary Clinton “If Necessary”
14 May 2013 7:29 am

George W. Bush has been content to stay out of the spotlight and let Obama take shots at him, but Dick Cheney hasn’t been as willing to be a punching bag. He has even fired back at the Obama gang a few times and he had this to say about Benghazi on the Sean Hannity show.

Last week, former Vice President Dick Cheney was advising the Republican Party to subpoena Hillary Clinton “if necessary” to get all of the answers they are looking for about the attack on the U.S. consulate …

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The Smoking Gun Attacks Kidnap Hero Charles Ramsey
14 May 2013 6:48 am

I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em all around

Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little …

Sharia Law: Australian Woman Spends 8 Months In Prison For Being Gang Raped
14 May 2013 6:39 am

It doesn’t matter how normal it may seem on the surface or how many big buildings you have, Sharia is incompatible with civilized behavior. If you need proof of that, just look how Dubai treats rape victims.

Dubai is being promoted as a luxury high-class paradise in the desert, but the reality is brutally different, as Australian Alicia Gali discovered. Gali took a job in the UAE with one of the world’s biggest hotel chains, Starwood. What happened next makes this story a must-watch for every Australian planning on travelling through …

15 Reasons Liberals Say You’re Supposed to Hate Conservatives Like Me
14 May 2013 4:46 am

My latest Townhall column is called, 15 Reasons Liberals Say You’re Supposed to Hate Conservatives Like Me. Here’s an excerpt from the column.

1) I think if the government is going to take a big chunk of the money that people earned to waste on programs that they’re going to get no benefit from, it should say “thank you” instead of complaining that those people are still not “paying their fair share.”
2) I don’t think that every time someone experiences a misfortune, the government “MUST ACT.” I don’t expect heaven here …

George Will: Obama Could Be Impeached Over IRS Attacks On Tea Party
13 May 2013 7:31 am

George Will could be much better described as a respected member of the Republican establishment in D.C. than a bomb thrower; so when he starts hinting that Barack Obama could be impeached over the IRS persecution of Tea Party groups, it’s significant.

“The Tea Party people have known about this and were working on this,” Will continued. “But they said — it was just some odd underlings out in Cincinnati who did this and there was no political motive whatever involved. Now the question is, how stupid do they think we …

Duck Dynasty Star: “If We Can’t Pray To God On The Show, Then We Will Not Do The Show.”
13 May 2013 6:30 am

There’s not a lot of good things that you can say about most of the reality TV shows that are out there.

A lot of the shows feature human trash that you’re invited to mock and laugh at. In fact, that was probably the vibe the producers of Duck Dynasty were hoping to produce. They were probably hoping that they had a bunch a goofy southern rednecks with beards for the “smart set” in Hollywood and San Francisco to mock.
However, while the show is funny and the ratings have …

GOP Senator James Inhofe On Benghazi: “We May Be Starting To Use The I-Word Before Too Long.”
13 May 2013 4:49 am

I have to admit that I’ve been very skeptical that the Republicans in the Senate would seriously consider impeaching Obama. Honestly, I’m still skeptical because other than a few standouts like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Pat Toomey, Jeff Sessions and a handful of others, these are timid, weak men who’ve never shown a lot of political courage.

Still, when you have a man like James Inhofe, the top-ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, who starts talking impeachment, it makes your ears perk up.
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) …

Liberal Host Of “The View” Wants Gun After Alarm Goes Off
13 May 2013 4:01 am

Ever heard the old saying that goes, “A liberal is just a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet?” Well, one of the hosts of The View, Sherri Shepherd, didn’t quite get mugged, but it was apparently close enough to turn her into a believer in the 2nd Amendment.

“View” co-host Sherri Shepherd appeared on Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends” and told the hosts why she planned on purchasing a gun.
Last month, the alarm system in Shepherd’s house went off in the middle of the night. Shepherd was so freaked out that she …

25 Reasons To Dislike Liberals
11 May 2013 1:29 am

Is every liberal an immoral, nasty tempered, habitual liar who accuses people of racism for fun and trashes his own country because he thinks it makes him look sophisticated? Of course, not! On the other hand, is that a fairly accurate description of most liberals in politics? Yes, it is. Most of them aren’t evil per se, but as Margaret Thatcher said,
“Left-wing zealots have often been prepared to ride roughshod over due process and basic considerations of fairness when they think they can get away with it. For them the …
