As families and schoolchildren hunkered down in storm shelters to avoid a massive tornado today near Oklahoma City, a liberal “comedian” found time to use the disaster to attack conservatives. The subtext of a tweet from “Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead was clearly meant to insult the pro-life and family values people who live in the state of Oklahoma, one of the most Republican-oriented states in the nation. At a time when “PrayforOklahoma is the highest trending topic on Twitter, conservatives noted Winstead’s lack of class. This is the same Winstead who attacked Michele Bachmann on abortion and raises funds...

"Can you see in your mind's eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn't intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?"

True story, see more about it here.

The Reset Button We all know that – within the next decade or so – we’re going to have some sort of “Reset” within our society. Most of us hope it will be peaceful but we’re mindful that history indicatest it will be anything but peaceful. Our next hope is that whatever violence occurs will be contained in local, relatively minor conflicts, preferably someplace else. In either case and regardless of which side “wins”, the “Reset” will be catastrophic in its own right. At this point we believe that the conflict – whether violent or not – will be between...

In a radio interview with a Philadelphia radio station today, former Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Pa.) called GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) a “dumbbell” for her opposition to gun control. Listen to the full interview below.

Despite the horrifying reality over 55 million babies have been aborted since 1973, liberals are obsessed with legalizing gay marriage – completely redefining and secularizing the religious institution of marriage – granting amnesty and welfare to over 10 million illegal aliens – despite violating our laws and sovereignty to enter this county – and growing our Government – the most inefficient, immoral and corrupt institution in America – past the point where our debt now consumes over 100% of our GDP. If these glaring discrepancies do not illustrate how detached and radical Barack Obama and his fellow progressives are, then...

Liberals are masters of hypocrisy, and when it comes to freedom of speech, they valiantly embrace the old double standard. They’ll bring lawsuits till the cows come home to defend some pervert’s “right” to distribute pornography or other offensive materials to the public or to engage in displays of nudity and obscenity on public streets, even though children may be present, but they’ll fight like maniacs against public displays of pro-life messages and disturbing images of aborted babies, because—they claim—children might see them and be upset. We have seen numerous cases in which leftists have prevailed at gaining court permission...

After the Boston bombing Obama wagged his finger at a world that has witnessed an unending barrage of terrorist attacks by radical Islam to not rush to judgement to guess the motivation of yet another attack by very young, very devout Muslim men.We're constantly learning that the rush to THAT judgement wasn't. So when does it stop being a "rush to judgement" when the perpetrators of a bombing turn out to be the usual suspects?

This one should go in the book "Stupid Liberal Tricks." A University of Wyoming female liberal activist faked a Facebook message from a conservative where she was threatened with rape.

Over the weekend and into this week, the University of Wyoming has been mired in controversy over an alleged Facebook post that threatened sexual violence against an outspoken liberal student by someone who the post made out to be a conservative male. According to Wyoming’s Star-Tribune, on the non-university affiliated Facebook page UW Crushes, which has since been shut down, a post appeared last week that read: “I want to hatef— Meg Lanker- so hard,” the Facebook post said. “That chick that runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn’t care who knows it. I think its hot and...

Liberal Chick is back and completely off her rocker. This time the zany Leftist wants pressure cookers banned in light of the Boston Terrorist Attack. The sad thing is she finds dozens of college students ready to outlaw them as well. Cockle-Doodle-Do!

One of the things that’s frustrating for non-liberals and non-Progressives is Leftists’ refusal to look Islam in the face (so to speak). Yes, there are crazy people who are Christians and there are entire Christian sects that are crazy (such as the Westboro Baptists or Warren Jeffs’ polygamist Mormon cult). The fact remains, however, that Christians as a whole, whether they belong to big churches or small ones, do not embrace or practice terrorism to achieve their political or religious goals.Muslims, by contrast, routinely practice terrorism to achieve goals that are simultaneously religious and political, owing to Islam’s fusion of...

Their accusing and blaming conservatives was as predictable as a sunrise. As always, they were wrong.

He's a Hollywood actor, producer and director, but Ben Affleck will be living beneath his means in a big way. The Oscar winner, 40, is joining Josh Groban, Debi Mazar, Sophia Bush and "The Avengers" star Tom Hiddleston and getting involved with the Live Below the Line campaign, which encourages people to live on $1.50 per day for five days, from April 29 to May 3.

1) "(Palin) did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down’s Syndrome. It’s brain dead. A virtual vegetable. She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didn’t want to say she’d had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another 12, 15 years? Doesn’t even know it’s in this world. So what kind of compassionate conservative is she? I don’t think anybody will want her near the White House." -- Larry Flynt 2) "You...

This is the ticket to saving the world!

I heard Mark Steyn go through a step-wise liberal media set of evil-doers that seem to be thematic in all of these types of terror events. I am trying to find a written/published run-through which went something like this: First blamed is right-wing talk radio, then: Right-wing white males Christian activists Tea Party Then, as Islam is implicated... Must be a lone wolf Must be just a small group Might have been radicalized by a Muslim cleric Might be Islam-themed, but couldn't be al-Qaeda since they are on the run... Just trying to get Steyn's excellent list right...

I have set the link to start at the point where Evan really gets going. Evan Sayet is a genius. If you have never heard him talk or read his book 'The Kindergarten of Eden' you are truly missing out. Listen to him and the illogical reasoning of Progressives and political correctness will become clear. The Laws of Modern Liberalism 1. Indiscriminateness – the total rejection of the intellectual process – is an absolute moral imperative. 2. Indiscriminateness of thought does not lead to indiscriminateness of policies. It leads to siding only and always with the lesser over the better,...

I just saw a headline that made me think that libertarian fantasies somehow had turned into reality. As you can see, 24 IRS employees were just arrested for stealing. But what about the other 105,976 bureaucrats at the Internal Revenue Service who seize our money under the implied threat of violence? Shouldn’t they be arrested for stealing from us as well?

Probably the most bracing aspect of Ira Katznelson's new history of the New Deal, Fear Itself, is his portrait of the marriage of progressive domestic policy and white supremacy. I knew the outlines of this stuff, but for a flaming commie like me, the extent of the embrace is hard to take: Far more enduring was the New Deal's intimate partnership with those in the South who preached white supremacy. For this whole period -- the last in American history when public racism was legitimate in speech and action -- southern representatives acted not on the fringes but as an...

The story of Paul Kevin Curtis, also known as "KC," is getting stranger and stranger. First, the media mis-reported that a "Kenneth Curtis" had been arrested as the ricin letter suspect. Then it was changed to Paul Kevin Curtis. Next it was revealed that Curtis describes himself as a liberal and a democrat. After this, pictures like this began to be found: Now there's this: "KC" believed the terrorist attacks of September 11 were perpetrated by the government of the United States, and specifically pleaded with President Obama on Twitter to investigate. He sent out this tweet twice on two...

There is a double standard: White terrorists are dealt with as lone wolves, Islamists are existential threats. As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.

Dr. Ben Carson stepped into the national spotlight recently when, as speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, to an audience that included President Obama, he was openly critical of the President’s approach to health care and his overall management of the nation’s economy. Carson, who is director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, is a hero to many. His life story, rising from a Detroit ghetto to a life of accomplishment and distinction, is a story of American ideals on steroids. Those ideals say that America is about merit not circumstance. Your life, your achievements are the result of...

My previous post on this abortion monster was a little slow to the party, but now I'm all about exposing Kermit Gosnell, and  monsters who help him by being silent.If people didn't think the MSM was biased toward Barack Obama then they're probably too brain dead to see the bias here...but this is a particularly egregious example of how depraved and evil  they have become (or, at a minimum, they have an unconscionable tolerance of evil).  

Kirsten Powers, a liberal commentator at Fox News, skewers the liberally biased MSM for their near complete blackout of what will probably be one of the most heinous murder trials of the year and beyond.An abortion doctor who has made millions at his Philadelphia abortion shack stands accused of murdering over 100 babies born alive from late term abortions...I tried to create a graphic that would nutshell it, but really the story is MUCH worse than I could convey, or even have the stomach to tell completely.

We know what liberals with power over other people think their job is...so this is pretty self explanatory...

What's that in the water? A fish? Dolphin? Nope! It's Eric Ducharme — the subject of TLC's My Crazy Obsession. Can you guess what his "crazy obsession" is? If you guessed "being a mermaid," you'd be right!

White democrats, liberals, elitists, leftists, progressives, left wing-nuts, communists, socialists, gays, lesbians, leftist loons, mentally handicapped—meaning their vocabulary is so small it would fit in a navel cavity of a flea, Nazis, republican rhinos who are really democrat insider fools, traitors, anti-Americans, and yes last but not least my favorite—lying maggot politicians are the most racists individuals around. This is a fact that these racists purposely try to shove off on their opponents namely Conservatives. The truth hurts and if ever there was a time where racism is more visible than today it is none other by these kooks I’ve...

Comedian Evan Sayet described his progression from a “brain-dead liberal” to a “9/13 Republican” in a forthcoming interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas. “There is only one religion now [for the left],” he said. “The religion is that anything that is considered good, right or has become successful has some how been the beneficiary of some sort of injustice.” Sayet went on to pointedly criticize liberals’ “morally and intellectually retarded” philosophy. “The liberal believes if we just regurgitate the apple, give up all knowledge of right and wrong, we can return to paradise”

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape. You don’t spit into the wind. You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger. And, as two educators have recently learned, it’s also generally good advice to avoid stomping on Jesus and the American flag in public schools. The Florida Atlantic University instructor who asked students to step on the word “Jesus” has been placed on administrative leave on the same day that the high school teacher in South Carolina who stomped on an American flag in front of his students way back in December finally resigned. The incident in South Carolina...

Sunday on “Meet the Press”, Wayne LaPierre handed Mayor Bloomberg his head and it was a highlight to behold let me tell you. This clown of clowns went on the typical ego maniac diatribe about gun control for everyone. For starters, while David Gregory first interviewed Mayor Bloomberg, he replayed a previous tape of Bloomberg saying: “The NRA’s power is so vastly overrated. The public, when you do polls, they want this carnage to stop. If 20 small kids aren’t enough to stop it then, I don’t know what is.” After the clip, Bloomy with his fake smile says he’s...

One of the great ironies of the gun control debate is that everyone who calls for gun control still wants a man with a gun protecting him. Every governor in America has armed security. You have to go through a metal detector guarded by men with guns to get into the Capitol building. Barack Obama has hundreds of Secret Service agents carrying fully automatic weapons who protect his safety. Even run-of-the-mill Democrats who want to take guns away from everyone else will unhesitatingly put up the phone and call the police if they feel threatened -- so that a...

I've seen this photo on my Facebook news feed with no text, which is fine because thinking people know how idiotic this sign is.The problem is there's more of them than there are of us, so it's good to see it modified to educate. From Super Conservative.

Ace has a great post up that asks a simple question. They told us if we voted for Romney he would impose his bizarre religious beliefs on us...so why is the left imposing THEIR bizarre religious beliefs on us instead? You know, some of us don't join religions because we actually don't want to have strange devotional rituals and forbiddances imposed on us. But religion is voluntary. Government law is not. Why are thesemonsters -- yes, monsters -- encoding their bizarre religious devotions into law? As I've said: God save us from those with no god but but bursting at the...

As Colorado goes, so goes the nation. With the culture and demographics of the Intermountain West so rapidly changing, this motto about my home state has become conventional wisdom in national electoral politics, and for good reason. After all, the square state is the capital of the so-called Rocky Mountain Empire, a region that is fast becoming the political equivalent of a test market for the whole country. And if it is true that the way Colorado goes is the way the nation as a whole goes, then America better get ready for some extremely large changes. Part of Colorado’s...

In a poignant signal of a fast-changing media landscape, The Boston Phoenix sent out a short and simple tweet Thursday afternoon: “Thank you Boston. Good night and good luck.” With that terse dispatch, the ground-breaking, Boston alternative weekly, which only six months ago reinvented itself from tabloid newspaper into glossy magazine, put a final punctuation mark on its announcement that its current issue, dated March 15, will be its last. Sister publications in Providence and Portland, Maine, will stay in business, but WFNX.com, the Phoenix Media/Communication Corp.’s online radio station, will not continue in its present form, its fate to...

For the past four years or so, I’ve written numerous posts condemning the inbred society of Republican “insiders� and “consultants� who tell their candidates that they need to become Democrat light to win elections. These Washington denizens, I’ve argued are more interested in a candidates willingness to spend huge amounts of money for their services than their ideology or electability. That’s why they’ve consistently tried to marginalize real conservatives who see them for what they are: parasitic mercenaries who’ve become rich dispensing bad advice since about the time Reagan left office. They are scared to death by conservatives with core convictions who, thus, don’t need them such as Governor Palin. In a...

With the election of Pope Francis, there has been an almost "catholic" attempt to determine if he is liberal or conservative. CBS claims he is a "staunch conservative" based on the fact that, as correspondent Allen Pizzey put it, he "opposes abortion, supports celibacy, and called gay adoption discrimination against children," not to mention his opposition to faux marriage. Tingle Central's Chris Matthews said that the new pontiff is economically "progressive," which, if we were to be informed by actual statistics, should mean he wouldn't give one red cent to anybody. But none of these analysts will peg the pope...

NEW YORK, March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today welcomed the election of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina as the next Pope Francis. Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director issued the following statement: We congratulate the new Pope and wish him well in his important new responsibility. We believe that the election of Francis I is a significant moment in the history of the Church. We look forward to working with him to continue to foster Catholic-Jewish relations as we have with his predecessors. There is much in his record that reassures us about the future. Under...

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, the wealthiest American, said on “some days” he wishes the U.S. political system were like England’s, so that President Barack Obama could have “slightly more power.” Gates was asked for his assessment of President Obama’s job performance during an interview at Politico’s “Playbook Cocktails” event. “Some days I wish we had a system like the U.K. where, you know, the party in power could do a lot and you know, you’d see how it went and then fine you could un-elect them,” said Gates on Wednesday. “Now, over time, our system has worked slightly better than...

Is an unborn baby “a life worth sacrificing?” The question is horrifying, but the argument was all too real. In a recent article, Mary Elizabeth Williams of Salon.com conceded what the pro-life movement has contended all along — that from the moment of conception the unborn child is undeniably a human life. And yet, Williams argues that this unborn human life must be terminated if a woman desires an abortion. The child is a life, but, in her grotesque view, “a life worth sacrificing.” The abortion rights movement has always had a problem with language. The average American still hears...

Over the past several years, I have written numerous columns on the radical homosexual movement in America. One of the most common attempts by the Left to dismiss warnings of the dangerous results of society’s acceptance of the homosexual agenda is to claim that there is no such thing as a “homosexual agenda,” radical or otherwise. This is ridiculous, of course, because each week brings new examples of homosexual activists creating “scenes” and filing lawsuits (often against Christian business owners) in an effort to force society to bend to the perverse demands of radical homosexuals. We have another example. Two...

It’s no surprise that many Hollywood actors and actresses are on the left side of the aisle. But what is a surprise -- and a nice one at that -- is to see some of them stand by their ideology even when many liberals on Capitol Hill will not. Last Wednesday, while many Democrats on Capitol Hill stood silent on a big civil liberties issue, one major celebrity went on twitter to chastise some of his ideological allies. On an issue that they are both passionate about, the liberal actor John Cusack -- the star of films like “Being...

[There basically two kinds of people in the U.S. of A. - people who want to live in freedom, and people who desire to be herded around. Ironically, the herd people are absolutely convinced that they are the ones who are truly on the side of freedom. That is what makes them such an actual threat to freedom in America. While they prance around boasting about the freedom that they believe they represent, they are instead shackling America in tyranny more each day. The following is a slideshow introduction on the Nuclear Counterarguments 22-Essay Series preview page. The series is...

Up until now, the year’s big cable-ratings story has been the ever-growing success of zombie drama The Walking Dead on AMC. Sunday night, though, History channel had the highest-rated scripted drama on cable for the year, for the beginning of a story in which only one main character rises from the dead, and that not until nearly the end. The first two hours of History’s Mark Burnett miniseries adaptation of The Bible scored 13.1 million viewers, more than any fiction cable show of the year–and, as the New York Times notes, dwarfing anything on NBC for the past month. (The...
