The Bloodthirsty Left

December 31, 2010 by

0

By Burt Prelutsky I used to get a warm feeling when I’d read or hear the words to be found at the base of the Statue of Liberty. It’s a poem titled “The New Colossus,” and written by Emma Lazarus. Among its odd requests are that the world give us “your poor, your huddled masses, […]

By Tom Blumer Today, New York Post reporters delivered a bombshell story addressing why New York City’s snow cleanup performance has been so poor: Sanitation Department’s slow snow cleanup was a budget protest Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts — […]

Big Labor’s Snowmageddon Snit Fit

December 31, 2010 by

By Michelle Malkin Diligent English farmers of old once shared a motto about the blessings of work: “Industry produces wealth, God speed the plow.” Indolent New York City union officials who oversee snow removal apparently live by a different creed: Sloth enhances political power, Da Boss slow the plow. Come rain or shine, wind, sleet […]

Winters are Sure Colder Than They Predicted

December 31, 2010 by

By Andrew Bolt This latest northern winter is not the only unusually cold event to confound the predictions of global warming alarmists. Dr Madhav L Khandekar, former research scientist from Environment Canada and an Expert Reviewer for the IPCC 2007, says the evidence suggests winters have become colder and possibly longer in the past 10 […]

America’s Financial Future: Our Choice …. But Not for Long

December 30, 2010 by

0

By Ken Blackwell In August of this year, Admiral Michael Mullens, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, advised Congress that “The National debt is the biggest threat to our national security.” In November, voter sentiment against the debt and deficit led to an historic rebuke of Congressional incumbents. In December, the President’s Debt Commission […]

My Year-End Report

December 30, 2010 by

0

By Burt Prelutsky There are those who still can’t believe that while the voters in most of the other states were belatedly coming to their senses, out here in California we were electing or re-electing the likes of Barbara Boxer, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsome, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Brad Sherman and Henry Waxman. They weren’t […]

Pfc Bradley Manning, A Warning Writ Large

December 30, 2010 by

By Alan Caruba “All warfare is based on deception. There is no place where espionage is not used. Offer the enemy bait to lure him.” –Sun-Tzu (–400 B.C.) His cherubic face can be found on the many articles about an audacious assault on the military and diplomatic security of the nation. Liberals have adopted Private […]

Don’t Buy Politico’s False Choice on Nuclear Power

December 30, 2010 by

0

By Conn Carroll One of the repeating story lines the lamestream media is looking to advance for the 112th Congress is the fictional contradiction between Tea Party small government convictions and the necessity of big government intervention to cause economic growth. Today’s contribution comes from Politico’s Darius Dixon who asks, “Can the tea party go […]

I Don’t Think the Warmists’ Models are Working

December 30, 2010 by

0

By Andrew Bolt Britain’s warmists in 2000 predict the end of snow: Britain’s winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives. Sledges, snowmen, snowballs and the excitement of waking to find that the stuff has settled outside are all a rapidly diminishing part of […]

Obama, McCartney and the Taxman!

December 29, 2010 by

By Ken Blackwell It was a great event at the White House last June. Sir Paul McCartney came to be honored by President Obama. And he thrilled the glittering company with his rendering of that classic Beatles hit — Michelle, Ma Belle. Sir Paul cooed to our First Lady the lines that say: “I love […]

Currently, there is a major flood event happening in the State of Queensland in Australia. I live here in Rockhampton which is on the coast of Central Queensland around 400 miles to the North of the State Capital Brisbane, and we are right in the middle of this flood event. The following is a short […]

Nullification in 2011!

December 29, 2010 by

1

By Alan Caruba The great issue of our times is the same great issue of the 1830s. The question is whether Congress can pass legislation or the President issue executive orders that are not authorized by or consistent with the Constitution? The federal government is a republic composed of separate and sovereign republics. What recourse do the States […]

How the Value Added Tax Works

December 29, 2010 by

1

By Conn Carroll The spending pace of President Barack Obama and the 111th Congress simply cannot be sustained. There will either have to be spending cuts or higher taxes. The left prefers higher taxes, including the imposition of a value-added tax (VAT). How would a VAT work. Heritage scholar Curtis Dubay explains: The VAT is […]

The Uncivil War

December 28, 2010 by

0

By Burt Prelutsky I got an e-mail the other day from a fellow who scolded me for being so naïve as to imagine that just because someone wasn’t a conservative, he must be a liberal. I always think it’s peculiar to find myself standing accused of saying or writing something I never said or wrote. […]

The “One” Returns

December 28, 2010 by

By Alan Caruba OZYMANDIAS by Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well […]

Islam: A Religion Custom Made For Men

December 28, 2010 by

0

By Amil Imani Muslims, by belief and practice, are the most blatant violators of human rights. We hardly need to detail here Muslims’ systemic cruel treatment of the unbelievers, women of all persuasions, and any and all minorities across the board. To Muslims, human rights have a different meaning, and its protective provisions are reserved […]

If the FCC Had Regulated the Internet

December 28, 2010 by

0

By Conn Carroll The most common myth that appears in “net neutrality” debates, even ones that appear in our comment section, is that the internet needs regulation in order to stay “neutral.” In reality, the internet is as open and adaptive as it is because it has been free of government regulation. Slate’s Jake Shafer […]

A Random Harvest

December 27, 2010 by

0

By Burt Prelutsky There are times when so many idle thoughts are running through my head that they threaten to gum up the works if I don’t unload them. This is one of those times. A liberal judge granted a felon with a long rap sheet release for a month so he could care for […]

A Blizzard of Lies in The New York Times

December 27, 2010 by

0

By Alan Caruba “Bundle Up. It’s Global Warming” – December 26, 2010, New York Times opinion article by Judah Cohen. It’s Orwellian when cold is declared warmth. It’s deceitful and insulting when it occurs in the midst of a huge blizzard shutting down much of the northeast. I would not even trust the date on […]

“Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” Repeal a Mistake

December 27, 2010 by

0

By Star Parker Our 111th congress, in its lame duck session, has given America a Christmas present in the way of repeal of the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” law. Signing the repeal into law, President Obama said he’s “never been prouder.” From my point of view, I’m feeling increasingly like a minority in our country. […]

Feminist Meltdown

By Nancy Morgan That sound you hear is a scream. Followed by a deafening silence. Last month a horrific video portraying an Iraqi mob stoning and kicking to death a 17 year old girl, Doaa Khalil Aswad, made the rounds on You Tube. Her crime: She eloped with a man of the wrong religion. The […]
