Free Republic

Please excuse the vanity, but a lefty Weblog is currently crushing several conservative blogs in the 2008 Weblog Awards (Small Blog Category). I would love you to vote for my blog (Exurban League), but feel free to vote any of the fine conservative blogs represented. Thanks! Click here to vote. (You may vote once per day, per computer.)

As perhaps one of the vilest pieces of dog excrement in the country, the admitted Marxist, terrorist Bill Ayers will be spared no insult and will receive no quarter, no mercy, no forgiveness from anybody here. The Huffington Post should be ashamed of itself for giving a platform to a man who bombed a judge's house while children slept inside, bombed the Capitol, and bombed the Pentagon. Of course, the dilemma is whether to discuss or link to the piece at all, thereby rewarding HuffPo for its bold P.R. move and giving Ayers a greater audience for his Commie dogma,...

I’m not sure whether it’s the 4:30pm timing or the fact that Rahm Emanuel is in Africa that’s my favorite part of the Obama team’s Blago internal review “drop and run” scenario. Really, as others note, the MSM is so placid the Obama team probably could have gotten away with releasing it outside the holiday rush and even answering some questions. But this approach only adds to the “transparency in name only” phenomenon and will irritate a few of the more conscientious reporters. (We note that we already have gone from “no” contacts to “no inappropriate contacts with Blago” with...

I knew that there was something odd going on, when I woke up at 7am on Tuesday and found that over 200 e-mails had arrived in the seven hours that I had been in bed. It turned out that my article on world government had been “Drudged” - ie put on the much-read Drudge Report and this had set off a torrent of e-mail traffic. The pace of comments - and their vituperative tone - persuaded the blog-masters here to shut down the comments section on that article pretty quickly. But this had the unfortunate effect of encouraging people to...

Evidence Suggests Somebody on Team Obama Knew What Blago Was Doing... Obama defenders will no doubt argue that Obama has no connection to the Blagojevich scandal, citing the FBI and U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's emphasis in yesterday's press conference that the President-Elect is not implicated in this scandal. But that's what makes yesterday's "it would be inappropriate to comment" stonewalling from Obama so bizarre. He said nothing beyond that it was a "sad day." There was no glimpse of anger at the governor, no sense of betrayal in the tone of his words. He spoke as if Blagojevich had been...

WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

In 2006, Thailand announced it was blocking access to YouTube for anyone with a Thai I.P address, and then identified 20 offensive videos for Google to remove as a condition of unblocking the site. ‘If your whole game is to increase market share,’ says Lawrence Lessig, speaking of Google, ‘it’s hard to . . . gather data in ways that don’t raise privacy concerns or in ways that might help repressive governments to block controversial content.’ In March of last year, Nicole Wong, the deputy general counsel of Google, was notified that there had been a precipitous drop in activity...

The four-year ascent of Barack Obama from state senator to president marks not just the triumph of a man, but the coming of age of a movement. That movement belongs to liberal (or “progressive”) Democrats, who in less than a decade have remade themselves. Once respected only in academia and the news media, they have become a fighting force. They systemically digitized the means of political organization and strategy, with the ultimate goal of dominating the political system — “Crush their spirits!” was Daily Kos blogger Markos Moulitsas Zuniga’s pre-election rallying cry. The Left’s online movement is consciously modeled after...

Top Obama Bundler Hobnobs With Iranian Regime in Tehran (Updated) These three stooges would be arrested on site in Iran if they went out in public with their hair showing or if they wore tight fitting clothes. But, they could care less how the women in Iran are really treated. They are not there to support the women-- They are there to support the regime. (Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin, top Obama bundler Jodie Evans and Col. Ann Wright in Tehran.) With the Iraq War pretty much over and won the women of Code Pink are now focusing on Iran....

I never do this sort of thing...but I would really appreciate y'all's help here. Do you hate the hive mentality of DailyKos? Would you like to make them squirm? Do you like baseball? Would you like to reward smart, non-partisan analysis that has influenced the way we all now approach baseball? One of the greatest baseball bloggers in America, David Cameron of U.S.S. Mariner, is up for this online scholarship award. The people who run it, in their infinite wisdom, have made the contest an INTERNET POLL: the winner gets $10,000 to pay off their educational debts. Cameron was the...

Hope and Change...According to sources, Trita Parsi who worked for the corrupt Congressman Bob Ney, and is protected by the likes of Zbigniew Brzezinski was said to be advising the Obama Camp on Iran this past year. Trita Parsi is a noted Iranian Regime Sympathizer and president of the National Iranian American Council. The Iranian community is aware of Trita's close affiliation with Brzezinski as he was Trita's professor at Johns Hopkins and was one of his ardent supporters and protectors. Tomorrow Trita will take part in a Congressional briefing.This cartoon is from Iran Press News. In the cartoon...

A new blog in support of Sarah Palin. Let's give him a hand getting started.

I know all the polls are almost in 100 percent agreement that momentum is clearly on McCain's side. I know Obama, Biden and Murtha have collectively insulted, alienated and discounted 85% of their crucial Pennsylvania voters over the past couple of weeks.

ACORN embezzler Dale Rathke (shown at left) enjoys the good life at the 18th Annual New Orleans Film Festival in 2007. Photo: www.newyorksocialdiary.com* * * * *We found a fun little photo (above) of Dale Rathke out on the two in New Orleans last year while his brother, ACORN founder Wade Rathke and senior ACORN officials such as national president Maude Hurd were busy covering up the close to $1 million that Dale stole from ACORN. Earlier this year the story about Dale stealing money from ACORN broke. He embezzled the money from ACORN in 2000 and the coverup lasted...

Your Priestly Pugilist is back! Please check out the redisigned blog and let me know what you think.

Can't get to several websites today. I recall the effort by the bots to shut down websites that were critical of Obama before. Is anyone else having this problem?

(Regarding Obama's alleged affair and removal of his FINANCE DIRECTOR being sent to Martinique one year ago - is there a money laundering scheme going on?) It also seems like a pretty good place for someone, oh, we don’t know who, to set up a multi-million dollar money laundering operation. In a Grisham novel, a young campaign Finance Director for a campaign heavily steeped in fraud would leave the States for someplace like Martinique, where she could set up an elaborate operation to channel foreign campaign contributions in the hundreds of millions into a money laundering operation that could conceiveably...

Please help me answer this person who is a paid Obama hack. I have made a pooint to answer most posts on our local papaer so this person does not have the only voice but have had trouble answering this one. Also kcross, I've asked you a number of times over the past few days to give us some examples of conservative republican successes over the past 7 years, and you ALWAYS avoid the answer. I'm sure someone of your ability to find information should be able to come up with one. Come kcross, give it up, give the McCain...

Having reached the point where I was going to uncrown Queen2, she finally got her s*** together and contributed to the “We” in WWAQ. You can find her contributions scattered throughout the entries. I do have to figure out some way to organize this better, so you don’t have to go back and search through for updates. Cleverly, though, when she was late for our movie date last night, she blamed it on me, for getting her lost in blogging. As though the second Queen ever needed an excuse for being late. At Q1 Palace, we have something called “The...

Rather stark for a US Senator who can afford a family compound, who has one son who has been enriched by having a Senator as a father, and by having the drop-dead gorgeous wife who happens to be a Doctor. This miserly amount is all he can give as charity? Despite income ranging from $210,432 - $321,379 over the ten-year period, the Bidens have given only $120 - $995 per year to charity, which amounts to 0.06% - 0.31% of their income. Don't so many on the left denigrate Americans as being cheap? Well, at least one Senator seems to...
