The good news is that this is going precisely nowhere. So the only use it has is to give us something to point and laugh at.
House Democrats said Tuesday they will offer an amendment to push to overturn stand-your-ground self-defense laws in states like Florida.
The amendment, which would withhold some grants from states that have such laws, will come as part of the House’s debate on the Commerce Department spending bill.
Well, apart … Read more
That’s the message you get if you have the fortitude to sit through this ridiculous collectivist campaign piece titled “The life of Julia” that Team Obama is banking on to remind the people that vote for a living who gives them their government cheese. The message is clear. Without democrats and the largesse their government programs produce, this woman conveniently named Julia and her son, whom also is conveniently given a Christian name, Zachary, would … Read more
One of the themes I always return to is “it’s cute when we do it”, which is shorthand for the way Democrats and their media dogwashers will denounce the Republicans for … well, take your pick: filibusters, indefinite detention, unconstitutional wars, signing statements, executive overreach, etc. … but then go eerily quiet when Obama does the exact same fucking thing. Or even worse, they will somehow contort themselves to believe that Obama’s behavior is better … Read more
A couple of weeks ago, Paul Ryan released his budget plan. The Democrats are going nuts denouncing the plan, culminating last week with the President calling it “Social Darwinism”.
My response to this accusation is, to an extent, “if only”. Ryan’s proposal would still spend enormous amounts of money and make very little dent in Medicare and Social Security spending. It relies on ridiculously optimistic assumptions about Congress’ spending habits and the economy and leaves … Read more
In a move that pissed me off, the congressional republicans buckled and offered the democrats $300 million in new taxes, only to have the democrats rebuff the offer, now making it all but obvious that their intent from the beginning was to have the special debt-reduction committee, which has two weeks left, fail for political reasons.
Congressional Republicans have for the first time retreated from their hard-line stance against new taxes, offering to raise
When GWB was president I often wondered if the left, when it projected bad behavior you practically always got for real from leftists on him, really couldn’t be bothered with what would come after. If you paid attention to your average leftard, Bush was constantly violating the constitution or behaving in a fascist manner. Of course, asking for specifics never produced anything, but the left KNEW the guy was a dangerous ideologue, hell bent on … Read more
Talking about the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, whom yesterday dropped another shit bomb. Lets remember that our nation is faced with an unprecedented crisis and economic downturn that has left us with a historically high and long lasting unemployment rate of 9.1%, with the LSM for months now telling us things are going to get better followed by “unexpected” job loss numbers of 400K+ every month. Lets not forget that Reid & company … Read more
Let’s discuss our Demcorat controlled Senate and our country’s budget:
Budget: Over the weekend, Senate Democrats passed a dubious milestone — going 900 days without fulfilling their legal obligation to pass a budget. Worse is the fact that this gross dereliction of duty has gone largely unnoticed. You have to go all the way back to April 29, 2009 — just three months after President Obama took the oath of office — to find
As was expected Obama’s “job’s bill”, which really was nothing but stimuluspatronage part deux and doomed from the start, died. But if you look at the LSM reporting this defeat in the Senate, you would never know the truth of why and how this thing went down in flames. From that Reuter’s article, we get:
(Reuters) – The Senate defeated President Barack Obama’s job-creation package on Tuesday in a sign that Washington is
The Hill has a piece dealing with how democrats are now panicking about the Jewish vote with the 2012 election right around the corner, based on how a handpicked Orthodox Jewish candidate ended up losing in a deep blue predominantly Jewish district that has consistently & predictably voted democrat for 9 straight decades. Now, I could focus on the fact that the Jewish voter is finally wising up to Obama, but I was far … Read more
