Hannan on cries of racism re: Obama

September 16, 2009
By patrick

But if conservatives should accept that some of the attacks on the forty-fourth president are discreditable, Lefties ought, by the same token, to concede that the overwhelming majority of the president’s opponents are not motivated by personal dislike. via Jimmy Carter accuses Barack Obama’s critics of racism – Telegraph Blogs.

Sometimes you feel like a nut…

September 13, 2009

Bad week for ACORN. The left-leaning quango has been the subject of voter fraud investigations in at least seven states over the past few years and now, in a three-punch combination blow, is finding itself in what might, hopefully, be a day of painful reckoning. The bad news started on the 9th with the...

Fighting Capitalism With Capitalism

September 11, 2009
By patrick

The Mogambo Guru writes an amusing scornful look at Michael Moore’s latest bit of celluoid crap, “Capitalism: A Love Story.” As one more bit of proof that the education system of the United States is a dysfunctional piece of liberal crap, how else to explain the fact the far-leftist moron Michael Moore actually got funding,...

One head rolls at the NEA – sort of

September 11, 2009
By patrick

Remember the story of the National Endowment for the Arts whoring itself out as the White House’s propaganda wing? The Washington Times reports that NEA Communications Director Yosi Sergant has been reassigned over the revelations the NEA was trying to encourage select artists to be part of a First Lady-led project called United We...

For the men and women killed in the September 11th, 2001 attacks. For the brave first responders, servicemen & women, and civilians who made the sacrifice in trying to save lives that day.

What can future GOP leaders learn from Margaret Thatcher?

September 10, 2009
By patrick

Don’t hem yourself in with too much detail, i.e. avoid the spewing-at-the-mouth disease that plagues our current President. MEP Daniel Hannan is writing with regard to UK Tory leader David Cameron, but the advice is applicable to US GOP candidates. Those who clamour for more detail from David Cameron would do well to look at...

More ‘Bad Behavior’ from the arts community

September 8, 2009
By patrick

Patrick Courrielche has more on the NEA/White House attempt at propaganda over at Big Hollwood. He’s got audio of the NEA contradicting itself, too. Oops. Courrielche’s concluding thoughts mirror my own in an earlier GOP post: the NEA is handing its critics fresh, valid points of criticism to use against the group.

Hoover, friend of Labor?

September 2, 2009
By patrick

This report will certainly ruffle some political and pundit feathers: A UCLA economist is publishing a study on the Great Depression and how, in the economist’s belief, President Hoover’s pro-labor actions at the end of his administration worsened the Depression. Pro-labor policies pushed by President Herbert Hoover after the stock market crash of 1929 accounted...

US Constitution as a word cloud

Earlier, I posted the text of HR 3200 and the Senate Health Care Reform draft in the form of word clouds. George thought I should do the same for the US Constitution as a comparison. Here it is; compare and contrast: Right off the bat, I notice that the word States is most-prominent, followed by...

Ahem… Chain of Command?

September 1, 2009
By patrick

This McClatchy story on the apparent tension in the White House over Afghanistan is interesting on many levels. What jumped out at me was this paragraph: Obama now feels that McChrystal and his superior, Army Gen. David Petraeus , the head of the Central Command, are pressuring him to commit still more troops to Afghanistan...

The Competitive Enterprise Institute issued a press release today on how Consumer Reports became a snitch. In the upcoming October issue, the magazine reviewed a British-made shower panel, the Hudson Reed Theme Thermostatic Shower Panel, and found the flow rate “seemed to good to be true, — or legal,” and they reported the manufacturer...

Why We Don’t Need Socialized Medicine is a brilliantly done, visual “fisking” of a ludicrous propaganda cartoon.
