Questioning Obama’s Integrity

A TIME magazine poll released today details a few interesting facts about Obama and how the country views him. A large portion of this country sees Obama as a Muslim. Why is this? Surely the mainstream media would understand—but they don’t. Delving into this a little more you begin to find a few reasons that [...]

Masters of Context: Recent Shortcomings of Conservative Media

Many recent media driven stories, mostly from the conservative side, have been increasingly disturbing in their complete disregard for the context of the story. In fact it is more than disregard, we are now at the point of outright lying. The Drudge/Breitbart machine has mastered this process. Every day drudge spoon feeds links to readers [...]

The Ten Most Egregious Distortions from Fox News

The “smears” outlined in this reference come from Media Matters. It represents what they define to be some of the most egregious distortions of Fox News. The claims of bias appear to originate from a single news/commentary format called America’s Newsroom aired between 9am and 11am weekdays on Fox News. Before diving into the claims [...]

Anita Dunn, Mao and the Glenn Beck critics

Many on the left seem to have gotten their panties in a wad over Glenn Beck lately. The most recent gripe they have seems to be over Beck’s identification that Anita Dunn’s favorite philosopher is Mao Zedong (Tse-tung). [Continued...]

The High Priest of Hate

Beck Now Attacking Individual Board Members of ACORN The lines above were used as the title for a uTube posting about one of Glenn Beck’s reports about ACORN. Whenever someone posts solid, fact-based reporting such as Beck’s and attacks the reporter by labeling them as “High Priests of Hate” it only serves to illustrate how [...]

Fancy Oratory Will Not Work Tonight!

The President of the United States comes to Congress tonight to push his Health Care Reform Bill. In speaking to the AFL-CIO Union Picnic on Labor Day, Obama again referred to those ‘special interests’ that keep blocking his efforts and campaign promises. Union attendees lavishly cheered him like some rock star. Why shouldn’t they? Obama [...]

Health Care Bill creates 53 new federal agencies

HOUSE DEMOCRATS’ HEALTH CARE BILL CREATES 53 NEW GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, OFFICES & BUREAUCRACIES Imagine that. 53 new federal agencies, each one staffed with people who can’t make it in the private sector, complete with benefits, pensions, vacations, payroll with raises, waste, bungling, screw ups, controversy and mayhem. We’ve seen it before in government so there’s [...]

It’s all about Them, isn’t it?

Why won’t these Extremist Progressive Democrats listen to their own constituency, their voters, their own good people? Why call or accuse folks who stand up to ask questions or present their views at town hall meetings as a hired mob, a disruptor, or worse yet, a storm trooper? What? A Nazi Storm Trooper? Nonetheless, its [...]

What is an American to do?

With President Obama calmly taking vacation and not bothering to address any of the questions many brave non-drinking Kool-Aid Broadcasters and Reporters are begging him to answer, what is a concerned American to do? And how is a concerned American to take all of this non- response from his President? With individuals of dubious background [...]

Liberal is now the “New Progressive”?

Liberal Democrats are now posing themselves as ‘Progressives’, rather than Liberal, or Leftist, or Left Wing. ‘Progressive Democrat’ is now the new watch word for the mainstream media. Even Fox News has no problems introducing the old fashion ‘Liberal’ as a ‘Progressive’ now days. Must be something in the water or the Liberal Democrats are [...]

Tea Party CNN Reporter from before, being interviewed by Founding Bloggers; also, CNN and Fair Use

Founding Bloggers interviewed the CNN Reporter that was arguing with tea party-goers from before, and it’s a very good look at the bias that’s present in any given broadcast. Found this via Patterico.  The CNN part of the video’s obviously been discussed to death, so I won’t go into that. Perhaps the more interesting point [...]

What Conservatives Hath Wrought

Everywhere conservatives are screaming-they are now labeled “right-wing extremists” by Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security. They are proud of the label since they are opposed to the entire Obama administration, but they are scared at the same time-the “right wing extremist” document(s) probably prompted a large portion of the conservative base to [...]

The Definition of a Conservative

The very essence of modern conservatism is a losing spirit. By definition, a conservative is someone who wants to “preserve” something. If you are a conservative, you are part of a group of people that could be viewed as some kind of historian fan club, reminisicing about the good old days. Socially and culturally I [...]

New Assault Weapons Ban, Freedom, Property

The NRA, Gun Owners of America, and Republicans in general should change their argument when it comes to gun ownership. I’m bringing this up because there is a news article out today about how Barack Obama wants to introduce a new law that regulates “assault weapons”–this includes magazines that hold more than 10 cartridges.  I’ll [...]

Has our foreign policy over the past 100 years been wrong?

Ron Paul thinks it is possible and after a lot of reading the past 5+ years I agree with him.

Thoughts on George W. Bush

The past eight years have been interesting ones. We have seen an attack on the United States by radicalized Muslims, we have seen one large recession and the beginning of what could be a major depression, we have seen our military send troops to two different countries in large numbers and we have seen China [...]

The Round Table

“When the Round Table is broken every man must follow Galahad or Mordred; middle things are gone.” -C.S. Lewis A writer at the journal First Things gives an explanation in this article: “His point was that the time may come when the societal bonds are so ruptured that forceful confrontation will become necessary with those [...]

Gas prices might hit a dollar a gallon soon

Gasoline prices may hit the $1.00 mark soon. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Oil prices hit four-year lows Friday as employers cut the highest number of jobs in 34 years. The continuing decline in prices is so dramatic and so sudden that it is raising the prospect that gas prices could soon fall below $1 a [...]

Taking it easy

I’ll return in full force within the next week, sorry about my unexcused absense the last week. I’ve had some things to attend to. In the mean time, our other writers will keep things entertaining.
