Opposing Nanny Bloomberg Is Not Anti-Semitism, It's Common Sense

2013-03-27T09:58:00-04:00

On the network of hysterical opinion known as MSNBC, Morning Joe guest and contributor Mike Barnicle claimed that there was a "level of anti-semitism" aimed at New York Nanny Michael Bloomberg and his $12 million campaign to push gun control. It's not anti-semitism. And those who think it is, as my grandmother would say, are mind-numbingly ignorant schumucks.

The Article In Which The Tea Party Accepts Karl Rove's Challenge To A Duel

2013-02-06T09:43:00-05:00

When Karl Rove, the de facto Capo of the Republican establishment intelligentsia, took aim at the grassroots activists (the Tea Party), offering them up like Issac for sacrifice to the mainstream media and independent voters, he surely doesn't expect them to prostrate themselves at the Altar of Rove.

What is With Illinois?

2013-01-29T00:01:00-05:00

Living in California, it is difficult to find fault with other states. California has 12% of the US population, but over 30% of the nation's welfare recipients. California recently voted to increase the tax burden - actually, some non-tax paying Californians decided to raise taxes on other tax paying Californians - on both individuals and corporations. California is the land of job killing Cap And Trade. It is the land of corruption, so ingrained it's generational, political and moral graf.

Obama Caves, Sells Out Middle-Class For Wealthy

2013-01-02T12:58:00-05:00

When a deal is bad beyond all pretext, the only thing left to do is spin. Democrats, including Senate lackeys and administration lummoxes, spin the Senate version of the Fiscal Crap Sandwich to mean absolute victory over Republicans who have "finally" raised revenue (read "taxes.") Republicans spin that they moved to give even more people a tax break in 2013. Both obscure the reality; President Obama sold out the middle class for the wealthy.

Actor Depardieu Goes Galt In France; Americans To Follow

2012-12-19T00:01:00-05:00

It turns out that not everyone who is French is a Socialist, wealth-redistributing hack. Amongst the sane is legendary French actor Gerard Depardieu, who has rejected this position not solely because of taxes but rather because France has chosen to punish "...success, creation, talent." Americans are following suit.

NRA Derangement Syndrome

2012-12-17T10:43:00-05:00

Oil Exporter Abu Dhabi Funded Anti-Fracking Film, But Matt Damon Doesn't Want You To Know

2012-12-12T09:30:00-05:00

Earlier this month, documentary filmmaker Philem McAleer asked questions to filmmakers Matt Damon and John Krasinski about their new anti-fracking film "Promised Land," regarding the funding the film got from Abu Dhabi. (Fracking is the extraction of natural gas from shale rock layers within the Earth, and can make the United States energy independent.) McAleer's question, and Damon's meek answer, were edited out of the podcast that was made available on iTunes.

Obama To Take Oath In Private. Because It's None Of Your Business, That's Why

Costas To America: You're Just Not Smart Enough To Understand

2012-12-06T00:01:00-05:00

Bob Costas, just a few days after giving a cultural soliloquy during a halftime break regarding the murder/suicide of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, and the need to eradicate our society from guns, has managed to continue his elitist climb, claiming that the "audience" is to blame for the follow-up brouhaha about his comments. Like a good elitist, Costas is blaming his audience.

Hank Johnson: End Free Speech To End Private Enterprise

2012-12-01T00:01:00-05:00

The thing about the 1st Amendment that is so wonderfully frustrating is that the freedom of speech afforded me to be able to write about someone else's commentary - commentary so ignorant and frightening in its lack of understanding of the American way and the idea of free people - also allows the ignorant to engage their frightening commentary.

Obama Doesn't Apologize, Doesn't Understand The American Way

2012-07-17T14:13:00-04:00

The Obama campaign suggested last week that Mitt Romney may have committed a felony by listing himself as Bain’s CEO in SEC filings after he left the firm in 1999 to run the Olympics. As outrageous and inappropriate the claim, President Obama has no intention of apologizing to Governor Romney.
