Supernanny Cass Sunstein’s ‘Friendly Paternalism’: It’s For Your Own Good, America
12 Apr 2013 4:58 pm Warner Todd Huston

Cass Sunsetein, one of President Obama’s leading left-wing, university eggheads, has penned an interesting piece in New Republic explaining how the nanny state is really a very important and useful aspect of today’s modern Democrat scheme. It’s for your own good, don’t you know?
Launching his April 8 piece, “Why Paternalism Is Your Friend,” Sunstein evokes New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (mostly failed, not that Sunstein says so) nanny state efforts to take away his constituents’ freedom on such things as trans fats, sodas, and guns. Sunstein points out that to …

Roll Call: Obama Has ‘Given Up’ On Those Darn Republicans
11 Apr 2013 9:55 pm Warner Todd Huston

In an interesting break from reality, Roll Call posits that Obama has now “given up” on Republicans as partners for helping him get some “governing done” in Washington DC. Of course, the Capitol Hill newspaper fails to show when it was that Obama ever consider the GOP to be his governing partner in the first place.
For Roll Call, writer Steven T. Dennis claims that, “Obama already seems resigned to the reality” that he won’t be able to successfully initiate his massive re-tooling of America to reflect his left-wing agenda because …

America’s Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, Stands Alone Against Unions And Outsiders in Recall Effort
11 Apr 2013 2:40 am Warner Todd Huston

Only three weeks after re-election in 2012, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was hit with a recall effort. Now, with anti-Arpaio petitions in circulation in Maricopa County, Arizona, “America’s Sheriff” is organizing his forces to oppose a recall backed by the deep pockets of the unions, millions in outside money, and a flood of non-Arizonans arriving to act as the left-winger’s ground troops. (See www.savesheriffjoe.org)
Arpaio’s team is being ramrodded by the Conservative Business League and unlike the opposition’s recall efforts, the CBL is an Arizona-based organization. The duo taking the helm of …

Two Quick Examples of U.S. Government Lies in Labels
8 Apr 2013 2:42 pm Warner Todd Huston

Political fancy talk is always fascinating. By this I mean, the essential lies that government tells by re-naming something to make it sound benign or even beneficial when it is really just another anti-American, liberty-killing government initiative, or giving it a harsh label in order to destroy whatever activity that government wants destroyed. Here I have two recent examples of these.
Now, by “re-naming” things to sound better, I mean things such as the so-called “Employee Free Choice Act.” This is a law that actually takes choice away from employees and …

Can Marriage Be Just About ‘Love’?
5 Apr 2013 5:37 pm Warner Todd Huston

Illinois’ centrist Republican Senator Mark Kirk was the latest Republican to join the crusade for gay marriage. On Tuesday morning the Senator posted a message on his website that claimed that marriage was all about love. But, is it? Does it make sense to make “love” a determining criteria to define marriage? Logic would not only say no, but would point out the danger in the characterization.
In his short message, Kirk said, “Our time on this earth is limited, I know that better than most. Life comes down to who …

CNN Opinion ‘You are a Bigot if You Oppose Gay Marriage’
1 Apr 2013 9:11 pm Warner Todd Huston

CNN recently launched a new podcast project headed by Dean Obeidallah and in its second episode the trio of hosts pondered whether or not one is a bigot for opposing gay marriage.
Obeidallah, who bills himself as a “political comedian,” co-hosts the podcast with CNN commentator, GOP consultant, and gay rights activist Margaret Hoover and John Avalon, who is billed as a “centrist” despite that he is an employee of CNN and the left-wing Daily Beast website. There are no strictly conservative contributors on CNN’s new The Big Three podcast, but …

On Easter, Google Doodle Celebrates Union Leader Cesar Chavez
31 Mar 2013 1:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

This year, March 31 is Easter Day, the day that American Christians celebrate Jesus Christ having risen from the tomb to join his Father in Heaven. But instead of hosting a doodle celebrating that sacred holiday, this March 31, Google is celebrating the birth of famed union activist Cesar Chavez.

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 and is most well known for organizing south western farm workers into unions in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In 1962, Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) with fellow activist Dolores …

Restaurant Manager Saves Mother’s Day By Fixing “Broken Cheeseburger” for Autistic Child
27 Mar 2013 9:18 am John Hawkins

When Anna Kaye MacLean sat down at Chili’s for dinner with her husband and her autistic sister Arianna, she realized she might have a problem. Even though Arianna loved cheeseburgers, she wouldn’t eat the burger that was brought out to her.
When we got our food I was wondering why Arianna wouldn’t touch her cheeseburger, but was going to town on her french fries. I asked her, “Arianna are you going to eat your cheeseburger?” She calmly said, “No, I don’t want it.” Cheeseburgers, or ‘Krabby Patties’ as we sometimes …

Parents Outraged By The Victoria’s Secret Jailbait Collection
27 Mar 2013 2:28 am John Hawkins

Victoria’s Secret’s brand PINK has a new Spring Break ad campaign aimed at girls as young as 15 years old. Understandably, parents haven’t been too excited about their 15 year old daughters wearing panties emblazoned with slogans like “Wild”, “Feeling Lucky” and “Call Me”.
After an eruption of protests, Victoria’s Secret has begun backpeddling hard. They released this statement yesterday.
“In response to questions we recently received, Victoria’s Secret Pink is a brand for college-aged women. Despite recent rumours, we have no plans to introduce a collection for younger women. …

Public Charter School Puts on Blasphemous Play
26 Mar 2013 3:03 pm Dave Blount

Educators have any number of ways to get their message across — from as simple as commanding students to write “Jesus” on a slip of paper and stamp on it, to as elaborate as this:
Students from the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School, or PVPA — which serves 400 pupils, grades 7-12, in South Hadley, Mass. — on March 15-17 performed the controversial play, “The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told.”
A 1998 Paul Rudnick comedy that had a run in theaters in New York City, “The Most Fabulous Story Ever …

Jailed for Nonpayment of Child Support – But it’s Not His Child
25 Mar 2013 7:25 pm Rachel Alexander

The feminists have ratcheted up the laws against men to such an outrageous level that paternity fraud is not just ignored, but routinely rubber stamped by the courts. Whether one agrees with the concept of child support or not, virtually everyone can agree that jailing men for child support over children who are not theirs is morally wrong. Men are routinely sent to jail for falling behind on paying child support, even though debtors’ prisons in the U.S. were mostly eliminated in the mid-nineteenth century.
The family courts and laws are …

Pamela Geller on the Left’s ‘Stealth Jihad’ on Our Free Speech
22 Mar 2013 4:00 pm Warner Todd Huston

Famed anti-jihad activist Pamela Geller made a splash with her appearance at the special Breitbart breakout panel, “The Uninvited,” at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
In true Breitbart fashion, Breitbart News–itself a sponsor of the 2013 CPAC–held its own panel and stocked it with some of those voices that were systematically prevented from officially speaking at the conservative event. Seeking to engage with voices beyond those approved by both the Old Media and the GOP establishment, Breitbart News sponsored “The Uninvited,” a panel featuring topics, experts, and personalities that …

War on Women: Wash. State Dems Take Advantage of Nursing Mother to Rush Vote on Bill
20 Mar 2013 5:12 pm Warner Todd Huston

In another episode of a political “war on women,” Senate Democrats in Washington State took advantage of the absence of a Republican Senator who briefly stepped off the floor to feed her newborn son–leaving the GOP one vote short of control–to push through a vote on a bill that wasn’t even on the schedule.
Of this cynical move, Republican Senator Ann Rivers said, “I think it is shameful for them to make her choose between being on the floor and voting and nursing her child. This caucus, which presents itself as …

So That’s Why They Call It Brown
15 Mar 2013 12:52 pm Dave Blount

Brown is an Ivy League university. The status entailed in attending it doesn’t come cheap. Undergraduate tuition plus room, board, and fees for 2012–2013 will set you back $55,016. Fortunately taxpayer-backed student loans and scholarships are available. Here is what Brown students have been learning during Sex Week 2013:
Following an introductory seminar on “Fornication 101,” which covered basic topics such as putting condoms on with your mouth and G-spot stimulation, and [Wednesday's] presentation on “Queering the Toybox,” featuring eco-friendly gay sex toys and products that remember user preferences through integrated …

Piers Morgan: We All ‘Need The Nanny State Occasionally’
13 Mar 2013 5:00 pm Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s Piers Morgan sees no reason why America shouldn’t turn into a nanny state. During his March 11 broadcast, Morgan insisted that, “people need the nanny state occasionally.”
With guest Christine Quinn, on his late evening CNN talk show Morgan lamented what he felt was a bad decision by a New York judge who shut down Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s soda ban. Morgan was all in for a politician deciding for all of us what we are and what we aren’t allowed to eat.
During the discussion, Quinn said she disagreed with banning …

Obama Trying to Deport Homeschooling Family
12 Mar 2013 4:00 pm Warner Todd Huston

In 2010 a federal immigration judge awarded political asylum to a family whose German government was persecuting for having the temerity to homeschool their children. Now, three years later, the Obama administration seems poised to reverse that decision and deport the family back to Germany.
Uwe Romeike, his wife, and children were told that they could stay as legal residents in Morrisstown, Tennessee, when the family moved there in 2008 after being threatened by German authorities because they homeschooled their children instead of sending them to government schools.
In 2010, Mr. …

VIDEO: Sen. Dianne Feinstein Lies in Senate Gun-Ban Hearing
9 Mar 2013 4:33 pm Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D, CA) lied outright in a recent hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee as she advocated for her anti-Constitutional gun-ban bill when she said that it is “legal to hunt humans” with large capacity ammunition magazines.
This is why Feinstein and all like her are clowns…

These anti-American, anti-Constitutionalists are little else but ignorant fear merchants.

Minn. TV News Ignores Facts: Muslims Attacked Christian Church Meeting
8 Mar 2013 7:02 pm Warner Todd Huston

A Minnesota TV news story perpetrated a perfect example of one-sided “news” coverage especially where it concerns the politically correct treatment of two, innocent, doe-eyed Muslims who, gosh darn it, just want to be loved like you and me. Naturally, the TV station does not report the truth that the two Muslims they laud actually infiltrated a meeting at a Christian church in order to attack a guest and disparage Christians.
An Assembly of God Church in Perham, Minnesota, invited well-known critic of radical Islam, Walid Shoebat, to speak about …

Top Television Shows Today Full of Garbage
7 Mar 2013 9:52 am Rachel Alexander

If you stopped watching network television awhile ago because it had gotten so bad, you made the correct decision. It has continued to get worse. A few years ago, network television became dominated by cheaply made reality TV shows and talent contests, sitcoms with hyperactive manic characters, and socially liberal themes. Television has always pushed the edge when it comes to socially progressive themes. But at what point does it go too far? Perhaps when there are no other options left during prime time network TV.
The top ten most popular TV shows …

Bloomberg Businessweek Apologizes for ‘Racist’ Magazine Cover
5 Mar 2013 8:09 pm Warner Todd Huston

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s media group has apologized for its February 21 cover of Bloomberg Businessweek over complaints that it used racist imagery to illustrate the feature story on the housing market.
With a title of “The Great American Housing Rebound: Flips. No-look bids. 300 percent returns. What could possibly go wrong?,” the cover illustration featured Latino and African American American caricatures awash in a sea of government money.
The image was criticized as racist by several organizations and media outlets.
Ryan Chittum of the Columbia Journalism Review praised Bloomberg Businessweek for …
