Give Amnesty, and Muslims Will Want Their "Fair Share" Bureaucratic sloth and an addiction to cheap labor have created a massive human rights violation right here in the United States of America. We encourage foreigners to break our immigration laws by promising jobs, social programs unheard of in their own countries, and the jackpot of being able to create their very own US citizens, also known as anchor babies. My anger is not directed at the illegal immigrant parents who have forcefully created millions of new impoverished citizens.  It is aimed at a negligent federal government and an unscrupulous...

Violent racial attacks are occurring... in Alabama?  Arizona?  Whitebread Iowa?  Nope.  In that nut and fruit bowl of diversity, San Francisco. What are the attacks about?  Angry tea partiers beating and shooting minorities?  Arizona cowboys rounding up Mexicans?  White klansmen and neo-nazi Republicans attacking African Americans?  Nope. African Americans attacking Asians Although both groups have suffered discrimination over the decades, the African-American community has been declining here faster than in any other major city, while the Asian-American community has been growing, partly due to immigration. Now almost one in three San Franciscans is of Asian descent, and many have moved...

I never really wondered or cared what Muhammad looked like.  I always thought his story was pretty cool but that was the extent of it... Now, with all the fleckspittle fatwas flying, embassy's burning, etc., and all because someone insulted The Religion of Peace, his countenance has become an issue.  The forces of liberty and secular liberalism are fighting back by sponsoring Draw Mohammad Day. Created Controversy Anyway, Reason Magazine has a great article on the whole global hubub.  The most egregious and insulting of the original cartoons were not created by Islam-hating westerners, but by Islamists themselves.  A kind...

It's a collectivist fit of psychological projection:  The enraged, hateful left who sorts everyone by race and gender, is accusing conservatives of being hate-mongering racists. Their rage has blinded them to reason.  Check this out from the Washington Post: As several states with active "tea party" groups prepare to hold important primary elections this month, the movement is struggling to overcome accusations of racism that are tinting perceptions of this loose network of conservatives. These authors are not journalists; they are propagandists shaping the debate for the progressive cause.   This is an old trick:  Level a baseless charge, then force the...

"Motherhood itself has become a political act," says Ms. Loesch. "And the tea parties are an extension of our need as moms to protect the future for our children." Moms power the Tea Party movement! Michael Graham explains in his WSJ Article, Moms to the Barracades: Forget "angry white men." In the male-dominated world of conservative politics, the tea party stands out as a movement of energized and organized women. In particular, moms. In fact, a recent Quinnipiac poll of voters found a majority of tea party supporters—55%—are women. To put that in perspective, only 48% of women voted...

The demagogic criticism that the Arizona law requires all Hispanics to produce their "papers" is ridiculous.  Of course, the Demagogocrats use the term "Papers" because it conjures visions of nazi Germany.  How clever. Which looks more like fascism to you? I also find it rich how this party accuses others of old world fascism while dictating everyone's health care by taking over one-sixth of the economy, appropriating automobile manufacturing firms, and forming a government-corporate mutual-benefit society with Wall Street investment bankers.  Have any of these hysterical people ever tried to rent an XBox game at Blockbuster? They demand papers! ...

MSNBC, and most of the liberal press is the equivalent of a drug-addled crack head.  They are so disappointed the Times Square bomber wasn't an angry, white, rightwing teabagger: "There was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country..." (BreitbartTV)Try reporting from Saudi Arabia dressed like that, cupcake. This woman is stupid. Or she's on drugs. I can find no other plausible solution for such idiotic statements.  And yes, I called her a cupcake.  She's a twinkie; sickly sweet cream filling on the inside and a brain...

Rumors are flying that Barack Obama cheated with a nice-looking young gal named Vera Baker. I guess Michell is none too happy.  Right Blogistan is alight with excited chatter at the unverified rumors.  Feed Your ADHD has a great photo Montage. Here is a typical comment: Wise Latina Said... Interesting.  I always thought the guy was gay.  Look at how other gay men like Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, David Brooks and Rachel Maddow gush over him. I tend to agree with Wise Latina, kinda...  We may be jumping the gun. On the other hand, if we apply a little...

Note to Mexico:  Shut you stupid gob until you clean up your gross human rights abuses! Richest Irony of the Year:  A guy who calls himself "Felipe Calderon" and claims to be "President" of a country called "Mexico" criticized US immigration policies, saying the new Arizona law "opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination." Now The Irony Part Next comes Amnesty International, with a damning report on the cruel human rights depredations inflicted upon immigrants passing through Mexico. Yahoo News plays it straight up: The group's report comes at a sensitive time for Mexico, which is protesting the passage...

Congress is determined to pile regulation upon mistake, adding to the rickety regulatory pyramid of futility and failure.  They are crafting a  Back Door Bailout.   The House bill contains an authorization for the Federal Reserve for $4 trillion in “secured loans” to bailout individuals, partnerships or corporations in financial distress. Page 506 of the House passed bill, titled the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act states in part: "The amounts made available under this subsection shall not exceed $4,000,000,000,000." The Senate bill has the same loan authority with no cap on the amount of funds available to failing...

A Dark Kristallnacht of the Soul Tired of the left's over-the-top hyperventilating about the tea party being the Second Coming of Hitler?  Michael Moynihan puts this historically ignorant liberal lunacy in perspective in his excellent Reason Magazine article,  Red America White Power Reichskristallnacht—often called the "Night of Broken Glass" [...]  "Apart from the 267 synagogues destroyed and the 7,500 businessees vandalized, some ninety one Jews had been killed all over Germany and hundreds more had committed suicide or died as a result of mistreatment in the camps." Would you be surprised to learn that a similar spasm of violence...

VAT's A Bad Idea!Reason has the most straightforward explanation: A VAT is a consumption tax which is levied at each stage of production based on the value added to the product at that stage. Governments love it because they collect if from producers by permanently planting their fangs in the neck of every business (employer) in the nation.  Businesses simply passes the cost on to consumers (as they do the cost of all government taxes, fees, and regulations) so it can't be easily dodged. Austrian School economists hate it because it adds cost and bureaucratic overhead to each stage...

General Motors President Barack Obama will fine his competitor Toyota a whopping $16 Million dollars.  It's good to be the king! The announcement was made by loyal Liberal Democrat and Grand High Lord Minister of The People's Roads and Transport, Ray LaHood.

Abartion (A Bart ion, Noun):  A procedure performed in Washington DC where a politician's principles are violently sucked out.  The empty feeling is quickly assuaged by an infusion of taxpayer cash. District of CriminalsThe Chicago Crime Syndicate bought Bart Stupak for 4.7 billion in bribes.  If your congressman didn't get as much you need to call and complain... A day after Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., and ten other House members compromised on their pro-life position to deliver the necessary yes-votes to pass health care reform, the "Stupak 11" released their fiscal year 2011 earmark requests, which total more than $4.7...

Here's a new requirement the health care bill levies on insurance companies: Insurers also will have to reveal how much of members’ premiums they spend on medical care, as opposed to executive salaries or other administrative costs. Next year, they’ll owe a rebate to customers if the insurers spend less than 80 percent on benefits for people in individual or small-group plans.(Bloomberg) I think this is an excellent idea!  In fact, it should be imposed on government as well: $ - 80%  of education must be spent on teachers and the classroom, or we get a rebate! $ -...

Intaxification (Noun): Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.This is the time of year my anger at the federal bureaucracy reaches the boiling point, as I do my taxes.  They decreased everyone's withholding last year so we'd feel richer; that is until it's time to pay it back.  Government treating me like a child and jacking with my paycheck was just one more brick in the wall.  I was working so much overtime I didn't notice until it was too late. It's not even the money so much as...

It's The Education, Stupid! Evan Thomas, in an otherwise useless Newsweek article, observes: Grade inflation is so out of control in the nation's high schools that 43 percent of college-bound seniors taking the SATs have A averages—even though SAT scores have remained flat or drifted slowly downward for years.The Federal Government Killed our Education System Decline in public education can be traced back to the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a 60's version of No Child Left Behind. Indeed a straight line to hell can be drawn from that date, through the 1979 establishment of the Education Department, to...
