When the US Congress last year voted overwhelmingly to cut off federal funding of ACORN, one may have believed that Congress was exercising its constitutional authority to legislate the appropriation of government funds. According to activist liberal District Judge Nina Gershon, one would be wrong.
ACORN sued the US Government, claiming that the de-funding legislation constituted [...]

In which I prove that George Soros wasted his money on his Media Matters attempts at smearing Rush Limbaugh.
The most recent Limbaugh-is-racist meme circumnavigating the blogosphere is a list of alleged “racist” quotes by Rush Limbaugh. Many liberal websites, such as Little Green Footballs and Chasing Evil, have simply re-printed the list with Media Matters [...]

In the wake of his false-quote and slander-induced lynching and subsequent drop from a bid to group bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams, Rush Limbaugh wrote an op-ed piece for the WSJ, in which he called out the hypocritical race-baiting of his attackers – primarily Al Sharpton and Jess Jackson:

It didn’t take long before [...]

Note to readers: my purpose for writing this post is two-fold. First, I simply want to set the record straight once and for all. Second, I want to have this information available for future reference.
Much has been said of late regarding the supposedly racially motivated comments Rush Limbaugh directed toward Donovan McNabb on ESPN in [...]

Tonight at Papagayos in Maplewood, MO, pro-democracy Hondurans and Americans rallied in support of the constitutional government and President Roberto Micheletti, and against would-be dictator Manuel Zelaya and the despicable actions of the Obama administration. I had the honor of being present, and standing with the St. Louis Honduran community in support of their desire [...]

HR3200 – Reading The Bill: Tax On Individuals Without Acceptable Coverage
I’m really getting sick of supporters of ObamaCare admonishing those who oppose it to read the bill. So, I’m working on a series in which I do just that, framing my opposition to the bill by referencing the actual wording of the proposed legislation.
Up next: [...]

Just a quick note: Little Green Footballs has been removed from this site’s blogroll.
I have been a long-time reader of LGF, ever since Charles Johnson’s “throbbing memo” broke open the Rathergate (Bush National Guard) scandal of 2004. I appreciated his evisceration of the MSM as well as his support for Israel and exposure of Islamofascism.
However, [...]

HR3200 – Reading The Bill: Hostility Toward SMBs That Self-Insure
I’m really getting sick of supporters of ObamaCare admonishing those who oppose it to read the bill. So, I’m working on a series in which I do just that, framing my opposition to the bill by referencing the actual wording of the proposed legislation.
Up next: HR3200’s [...]

HR3200 – Reading The Bill: You Will Lose Your Current Insurance
I’m really getting sick of supporters of ObamaCare admonishing those who oppose it to read the bill. So, I’m starting a series in which I do just that, framing my opposition to the bill by referencing the actual wording of the proposed legislation.
Up first: Obama’s [...]

Previously, I wrote about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. At the time that I wrote that post, I was unaware of the absolute fabrications of and lies about the events surrounding his arrest, first by Gates’ lawyer, and later by Gates himself.
This American Spectator article (h/t Lucianne) thoroughly discusses Gates’ two most [...]

I’ve not commented yet on the Gates race-baiting story, and I’ve also not done a good fisking in a long time, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone by taking on Andrew Sullivan’s alleged attempt at impartiality regarding the story.

What do you call a black man with a PhD? The answer begins [...]

I know I’m a few days late in responding to this story, but it has taken me a while to put my response together.
Mere weeks after the MIAC terrorism report came to light (and was subsequently rescinded due to public outrage), The Liberty Papers and Roger Hedgecock broke the story about an eerily similar report [...]

Under intense pressure of citizen outrage, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has rescinded the MIAC report that linked the threat of domestic terrorism to the modern militia movement, conservative political beliefs, and (right-wing) third-party political candidates.

From the KC Star report:

The Missouri Highway Patrol this week retracted a controversial report on militia activity and will change [...]

Scary; truly scary.
Via Gateway Pundit (with h/t to American Thinker), the Missouri Information Analysis Center – part of the Missouri State Police – has compiled a report ostensibly intended “to help Missouri law enforcement agencies identify militia members or domestic terrorists”. According to this report, yours truly now fits the profile of a potential extremist.
Here [...]

These statements should be an impeachable offense – or at the very least, subject to Congressional censure:
Via Lucianne and Michelle Malkin, Nancy Pelosi tells a partially illegal-immigrant comprised crowd that enforcement of US immigration laws is “un-American”:

“Who in this country would not want to change a policy of kicking in doors in the middle of [...]

Apparently, our education system has been dumbed-down sufficiently that the entire concept of our country’s founding as a federation of sovereign states is becoming lost.
Via Lucianne, the Colorado House passed legislation that would award the state’s electoral-college votes not to the state’s popular-vote winner, but rather to the national popular-vote winner:
Currently, whoever wins most of [...]

It’s coming: the Hitler Obama Youth program.
Via Lucianne, the US House Education and Labor Committee moved the GIVE Act legislation, that would, in addition to expanding AmeriCorps, create a “Congressional Commission on Civil Service” [emphasis added]:
The bipartisan commission will be tasked with exploring a number of topics, including “whether a workable, fair and reasonable mandatory [...]

Via Lucianne, our disaster-in-the-making President and Commander In Chief Obama is floating a plan that would make military service members pay for their service-related injuries with private insurance.
As the Lucianne thread commenters have pointed out, Obama wants the government to pay for universal health care – which means that he thinks the government should foot [...]

While Al Gore was in Europe, predicting that “the entire North Polarized cap will disappear in 5 years” due to global warming, the southern California desert was getting blanketed in snow.

Irony, thy name is Al Gore.
UPDATE: Thanks for the mention, Gateway Pundit.

…and by “fish” I mean, of course, all of the conservative voters McCain reeled in by naming Palin as his Veep.
When asked by George Stephanopoulos, McCain refused to say whether he would support Sarah Palin if she ran for president:

“Listen I have the greatest appreciation for Gov. Palin and her family and it was a [...]

The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision in Baze v. Rees, confirmed that lethal injection does not violate the 8th Amendment as cruel and unusual punishment.
As relieved as I am to note that SCOTUS has not lost all common sense (it does not take a Constitutional Law degree to come to the conclusion that a) [...]

Obama’s recent insults of America’s heartland were so egregious, even the St. Louis Post-Dispatch made mention of his remarks [emphasis added]:
The Huffington Post Web site reported Friday that Obama, speaking of some Pennsylvanians’ economic anxieties, told supporters at the San Francisco fundraiser: “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of [...]

Poor Hillary. Not only does she have to face two men in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but she has to do so while also taking time to do her hair (emphasis added):
While listing her credentials to be president, Clinton also said people vote for different reasons, including how a person looks or [...]

This news would have really excited me a while ago: Condi Rice is apparently making a play to be named as McCain’s VP.
As it is, she had better re-think her views on some issues before I could even hope to support her on the ticket.

The ’sphere is already buzzing.

On the campaign trail over the weekend, Barack Obama tried to assuage the socially conservative democrats of Western Pennsylvania regarding his pro-abortion stance. He starts with the typical, liberal, stance when confronted by an admonition to stop abortions:
“This is a very difficult issue, and I understand sort of the passions on both sides of the [...]
