The Corruption of Big Spending Democrats
20 Apr 2013 11:46 pm Warner Todd Huston

Buried in a recent Politico story is a line that reveals the utter corruption of “money in politics.” But not that of money spent electioneering, but that spent by government from the assumed bottomless pockets of the American taxpayer. It is a corruption that has destroyed the Constitution, laid waste the rule of law, perverted our system, and crushed the American way of life and it must end.
The Politico segment in question is from an April 17 piece talking about the failure of the anti-Second Amendment Democrats of getting their …

A fractured party is a losing party
19 Apr 2013 12:49 pm Josh Bernstein

Why is it that when Democrats govern like Socialist dictators they win, but when Republicans govern like Democrats they lose? The sad part is that both parties govern in such a similar capacity that it is hard to tell them apart these days. Both parties have an insatiable appetite for spending; and fiscal discipline in Washington is as rare as a snowstorm in Phoenix.
Neither party has shown the ability to govern the American people the way our Constitution originally intended. One could argue that we technically have not had a …

BBC Sends Reporters to North Korea Using Fake Student Credentials
18 Apr 2013 6:37 pm Warner Todd Huston

One of the newest conservative news sites in Britain, The Commentator, has learned that the British Broadcasting Service (BBC) may have endangered a group of British students during a trip into North Korea by slipping several reporters into the group using student visas as cover for their activities.
The trip was arranged by the London School of Economics’ (LSE) “Grimshaw Club” and took place from March 23 to 30 of this year.
Professor Craig Calhoun, the director of the LSE confirmed that the BBC used its student trip as cover to slip …

Obama’s Budget Would Use Tax $$ to Fund Lobbyists Pushing Tax Hikes
17 Apr 2013 4:34 pm Warner Todd Huston

Remember when Obama took office and one of his biggest promises was that lobbyists would never gain a foothold in his Administration? Well, now that he doesn’t have to stand for election again he’s doing his level best to give lobbyists one of their biggest perks yet. He’s trying to make it legal to give them your tax dollars so they can lobby to increase your taxes. And in fact he’s already broken laws governing lobbyists several times since 2009.
A report by the government watchdog group Cause of Action found …

Spying on the Progressives
17 Apr 2013 10:13 am Rachel Alexander

Republicans have been so busy attacking each other lately that little attention is being paid to the antics of the left. The far left activists, including the Occupy movement and Anonymous, have been quite busy.
The Occupiers are helping fast food workers strike for higher wages and a union. Their targets include Wendy’s and Burger King in New York City. If they really wanted to help those workers, they would encourage them to attend college and find higher paying jobs. The founder of the Occupy movement, Adbusters, is organizing Occupiers to protest Goldman Sachs banks …

AP: Gosnell’s Gruesome Assistants ‘Only Following Orders’
16 Apr 2013 7:55 pm Warner Todd Huston

In shades of the Nuremberg Trials, an April 12 article from the Associated Press seems to excuse away the actions of the assistants of accused criminal abortionist Kermit Gosnell as “only following orders.”
For the AP, Maryclaire Dale begins her piece with that very sentiment saying, “They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do.”
Incredibly, throughout the article, Dale seems to absolve these assistants for the horrible things they did, softening the guilt of nearly every person accused of crimes with excuses.
In some cases, Dale claims that …

Leftist Hypocrites on Campaign Donations
15 Apr 2013 5:40 pm Warner Todd Huston

One of the left’s biggest rallying cries against what they claim are the evils of the right was its opposition to the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that essentially opened up our political process to unlimited donations to political causes. The left claimed allowing more money into politics was evil and says the case must be over turned. But now leftists in New Jersey are hypocritically using the case for their own ends.
A Washington DC-based left-wing super PAC has sued New Jersey’s campaign finance watchdog agency saying that the Garden …

Pastor Rick Warren, Gun Control, and Matthew Warren’s Suicide
14 Apr 2013 6:24 pm Warner Todd Huston

Pastor Rick Warren and his family suffered a devastating loss last week when their son, Matthew, took his own life with a pistol that he may have bought illegally from a person he contacted over the Internet. Dealing with such a loss is heartrending, of course, and the Warren family has much to endure as they deal with this terrible incident. But one thing is sure, new gun laws would not have prevented Matthew Warren’s suicide.
Warren’s son, Matthew Warren, committed suicide on April 5 with a self-inflicted gunshot. After news …

The CA Bill That Would Shut Down Every Small Restaurant
13 Apr 2013 5:44 pm Warner Todd Huston

The State of California has one of the worst proposals of any legislature in the country this year with a new bill that would force every restaurant and food service business in the state to commission an expensive “risk assessment” test for every menu item, a test that could cost thousands of dollars for every food item sold. This outrageous and cost prohibitive testing would certainly cause all but the biggest chain restaurants to go out of business almost instantly.
In another exercise in nanny-statism, California’s State Senate Democrats want this …

Obama Abdicates, Has Newtown Victim’s Mom Give Weekly Address
13 Apr 2013 9:02 am William Teach

“Perfect moral authority”? Over the years we’ve seen Obama use the Weekly Address as simply an extension of his extreme partisan ways and part of the Neverending Campaign. With this week’s we see him officially turn the Office of the President Of The United States into a pure partisan left wing communication tool
(The Blaze) The mother of a first-grade boy shot dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary School sat in for President Barack Obama in his weekly address, choking back tears as she begged Americans to act on gun violence.

MSNBC Says “Everyone Has The Right To Free Healthcare, Education, Decent Housing, Quality Food” And….A Tree That Grows Money?
13 Apr 2013 1:30 am John Hawkins

Do liberals even understand what the word “right” means? Judging by the latest promo from Melissa-Harris Perry at MSNBC, the answer to that question is “no.” Here’s what she said,
“Americans will always want some level of inequality because it’s a representation of a meritocracy. People who work hard and sacrifice and save their money and make major contributions: we think that they should earn a little more. And they should have more resources. And that’s fine. But we also however have to have a floor under which nobody falls. And …

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 …

Maryland Finds Awesome New Way To Tax Citizens: Rain
12 Apr 2013 6:57 am William Teach

That’s right, citizens in 10 Maryland counties will soon be charged a tax when it rains. Why, yes, this did all originate with Obama EPA (via The Blaze)
(The Gazette) …Get ready for their newest invention, the rain tax. Here’s what’s going on:
In 2010 the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency ordered Maryland to reduce stormwater runoff into the Chesapeake Bay so that nitrogen levels fall 22 percent and phosphorus falls 15 percent from current amounts. The price tag: $14.8 billion.
And where do we get the $14.8 billion? By taxing so-called “impervious …

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 …

Quit Laughing, Hillary Really is Just LIke Margaret Thatcher
10 Apr 2013 3:18 pm Warner Todd Huston

With the passing of Margaret Thatcher, one of the greatest, most powerful women in recent political history, the American Old Media establishment is all abuzz about… Hillary Clinton. To their minds, talk of the powerful and brilliant Thatcher naturally brings to mind the wife of one of their favorite presidents and Hillary, as far as they are concerned, is somehow “just like” Margaret Thatcher.
I know, I know. Stop your laughing. Hillary really is just lIke Margaret Thatcher.
Or maybe not.
But, of course you should laugh. The idea that Hillary Clinton is …

Obama’s Political Action Group Loses Complaint Against Website Address Owner
9 Apr 2013 7:21 pm Warner Todd Huston

Last year, President Obama’s re-election campaign reworked its operations renaming it Organizing for Action in an effort to leverage the President’s monumental email address list to urge supporters to back the President’s policies. But OFA made a tiny mistake: it didn’t register all the various website addresses for its new effort. Worse, when others jumped to register the names, Obama’s political group filed a complaint to get the web addresses back. Now Obama has lost that battle.
In February I reported that team Obama didn’t perform its due diligence and register …

SICK! Liberals Have Street Party To Celebrate Margaret Thatcher’s Death
9 Apr 2013 5:47 am John Hawkins

Other than Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher was the single finest leader that Europe has produced in the last century. She pumped up Britain’s slumping economy, repaired Britain’s relationship with America, saved the Falklands from an Argentinian invasion and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ronald Reagan as he fought successfully to break the Soviet Union.
In other words, if you were putting together a list of the greatest leaders in Britain’s history, the most towering figures of the 20th century or even history’s best role models for women, Thatcher would merit a spot near …

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 …

MSNBC: Children Don’t “Belong to Their Parents”
8 Apr 2013 6:52 am John Hawkins

It was an extraordinarily creepy moment. MSNBC host, Melissa Harris-Perry was doing a “Lean Forward” spot for the network.
In it, she complained that we “haven’t had a very collective notion that these are our children” and actually uttered the words, “We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to their communities.”
In Melissa Harris-Perry’s mind, your children are the property of the state.
That echoes Benito Mussolini’s famous quotation, “All within the …
