New York Magazine Columnist Says That The Elite Must Rule
by Joseph Klein
Kurt Andersen came out swinging this week in New York Magazine against democracy in action! He hates the Tea Party Movement in particular. Andersen, a novelist who at one time was New York Magazine chief editor, prefers when "a calm club of like-minded wise men (and women) in Washington" is calling the shots, not the people. Andersen agrees with Elitist-in-Chief President Barack Obama who believes the opponents of his far-left policies should just sit down and shut up. Andersen liked the good old days when: the elite media really did control the ...
The Conservative Awakening
by David Horowitz
I've been reading -- and worse -- listening to leftwing pundits dump on the Conservative Awakening and dismiss it as a "media event." When 10,000 let alone 100,000 let alone a reported million conservatives -- people who are allergic to collective action and despise demonstrations -- march on Washington as they did on 9/12 something very serious is going on; I would say a conservative equivalent to the 1960s. I just came from an event in St. Louis at which Glenn Beck spoke in a sports arena to ...
Report: Attempted Terrorist Attack in The Netherlands, Bomb Found in Train - Police Say Prank
by Michael van der Galien
UPDATE (6:00 AM ET) Dutch Omroep Brabant now reports that police say no bomb has been found. A man was arrested, but he it's likely he's an insane loser with too much time on his hands and not a terrorist. Good news, if true of course. Having said that, I do hope that this man will suffer the consequences of pulling such a "prank." The entire train station was evacuated, people couldn't get to their work, all because of one attention craving idiot. End Update National newspapers and news channels report ...
U.S. Marines Are Landing - And Taliban Knows All About It
by John L. Work
The United States Marines, America’s best and bravest, are about to land in the Town of Marja, southern Afghanistan. The news is already out. Meetings have gone on for weeks to alert the Marja townspeople. The tribal elders know about it. It’s in the Los Angeles Times. It’s all over Afghanistan. Hell and the entire World know it. And the Taliban Soldiers of Allah know it. The Marines have been instructed not to shoot back if there are civilians in the line of fire. Protecting Afghanistan civilians’ lives must ...
Mystery Billboard In Minnesota
by Nancy Morgan
There is a billboard along I-35 near Wyoming, Minn., with a huge photo of former president George W. Bush and this question: "Miss Me Yet?" Bob Collins of Minnesota Public Radio has verified that this is not an internet hoax or photoshop photo. And he's trying to find out who is responsible: "There's no billboard ownership plate on this particular billboard, making tracing the person who had the cash to post it difficult to find. It's time to crowdsource this puppy." This billboard is the ...
Sports Editor Seeks Reparations ... For Planned Parenthood
by Jenn Q. Public
Incensed by the completely innocuous Tim Tebow Super Bowl commercial, sports editor Dave Zirin blogged his fury at The Nation yesterday. He admits the ad was "about as vanilla as an Andy Williams Christmas Special." But it's not the actual content of the ad that angers Zirin. It's the pesky free speech. He's infuriated that CBS would even consider offering a platform to Focus on the Family, an organization Zirin says has "shadowy connections to to open hate groups." He believes allowing Focus on the Family to pay ...
LAST CALL: Clubbed Thumbs, Birthers' Liberal Lineage and B*tch Slapping The Nation
by Karen Northon
A DAILY WRAP-UP OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE STORIES OF THE DAY Between a Rock and Left-Wing Lunacy JE Tabler writes today about a group of moderate Democrats (yes – you read that correctly) in Chicago who are fighting against the radical left-wing machine - and they have one hell of a fight ahead of them. Hey Zirin! You wish you could throw like a girl! Kudos to Jenn Q. Public for b*tch slapping the outrageous David Zirin, sports editor at The Nation. Zirin lashed out, in a recent column, at ...
Failed Progressive States
by Matthew Vadum
The more progressive (i.e. left-wing) a state's policies the more likely the state will get into big financial trouble, Glenn Beck opined on his TV show. Obviously a tsunami is going to put basically everyone under water and, as you'd expect, the greatest crisis since World War II means that right now 48 states are in trouble. But there's a big difference between states that will almost always be at risk for going under water and then those that are better able to weather the storm. And that is ...
The Green Police, They...Aren't All That Funny.
by Jimmie Bise
Of all the commercials I saw during Sunday's Super Bowl, the creepiest by far was Audi's "Green Police" ad which was supposed to laugh at the poor, beknighted fools being hauled away to goodness knows where by a new environmental police force while the cool Audi drivers got to speed away from the Stasi...I'm sorry, Green Police's, disapproval. Michelle Malkin has done most of the heavy lifting as to why the commercial's real message of "fascism is fun!" isn't quite so funny when you consider that the enviro-cops have already ...
The Who's Pete Townshend: Not the Left's Fool
by Michelle Horstman
Being a college student in the early '70s, The Who was right up there on our “must see” concert list. I have often thought of them in the last few years, as their famous lyrics “won't get fooled again” continued to pop up in my mind (usually on a daily basis.) For me, that one line resonates more than any other. Seeing them on the Superbowl half time stage commanded my full attention and arose me from my football-and-queso-dip coma. They were playing my song! I knew what ...
Hillbuzz Provides Insider's Guide to Defeating Democrat Machine
by JE Tabler
Normal, sane Democrats want their party back. They are tired of electing moderates who turn out to be socialists. They want quality candidates who will do what is best for America and they know that in order to get them elected they will need to defeat the corrupt Democrat machine, something they understand in a way that we on the right we never will. They are going to need a lot of armchair tea partiers. A few more Matthew Vadums might also be a good ...
