Nordlinger: ‘It’s embarrassing,’ &c.
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 31 Jul 2008 01:28 PM EDT
You are probably familiar with this semi-infamous statement of Barack Obama: “Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English — they’ll learn English — you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.” But you may be unfamiliar with what came next out of Obama’s mouth: “You should be thinking about, how can your child become bilingual?

A Black Conservative Lament
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 31 Jul 2008 04:37 AM EDT
Oh, no, not another ''blacks in America'' news special! One of the cable networks recently put together another one of these ''specials'' on what it's like to be black in America. The network asked a conservative friend of mine to participate. He sent the following letter; (Snip) I talked and talked. They edited it all down to, ''If you don't want to go to jail, don't sell crack.'' I am really angry More>>>
IBD: Barack Obama's Stealth Socialism
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 31 Jul 2008 03:24 AM EDT
Democrat Barack Obama arrives in Washington on Monday. On the campaign trail, Obama has styled himself a centrist. But a look at those who've served as his advisers and mentors over the years shows a far more left-leaning tilt to his background — and to his politics. More>>> Wednesday, July 30
'John Kerry, reporting for Booty'
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 09:50 PM EDT
FTA-"According to TMZ, John Kerry left a Nantucket restaurant and a group of **drunken college kids (**today’s redundancy brought to you by Oxi Clean, the stain specialist!) on a boat asked the senator to take some pictures with them. At least that’s what he told Teresa." More>>>
Not So Fast, President Obama!
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 01:03 PM EDT
It was an unusually warm January day in Washington as President-elect Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office administered by longtime Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. Stevens already had administered the oath of office to Vice President-elect Evan Bayh, of Indiana, who had been picked by Obama because he was perceived to be a middle-of-the-road man. More>>>
ANWR: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 12:23 PM EDT
When pictures of ANWR are actually shown by the "mainstream" media, they often feature the southern area of ANWR, which is very different than the Coastal Plain area where drilling is desired. While the southern area is very beautiful with lots of trees and vegetation, once you cross the mountains, the terrain quickly becomes barren marsh. More>>>
The War on Words
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 11:54 AM EDT
During the past year, several federal agencies – including the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, and the National Counter Terrorism Center – have declared a war on words. Specifically, these agencies have issued memoranda discouraging their employees from naming the enemy in the War on Terror. The prohibition included words such as “jihad,” “Islamist,” “Islamofascism,” and “caliphate,” among others. More>>>
Michelle Malkin's Letter of the day: “You hate yourself.”
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 11:12 AM EDT
"I would like to express my complete and total disdain for you. You are so racist. Yes,I said it. You hate yourself. You are Asian my dear not white."
Moonbats... amazing how people claiming to be 'progressive' or 'liberal' can be so completely narrow-minded. More>>>
The Top 20 Albums of All Time
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 10:31 AM EDT
"I completely understand the frustration of "best of lists", and I can assure you that I read hundreds of comments here on the Yahoo Music blogs whenever we post one. Many times our "best album" lists generate thousands of comments. And although many of the remarks are ridiculous, many are valid in a subjective sort of way." Not a bad list, but noticeably absent are Elvis, The WHO, The Rolling Stones, RUSH, etc. So, I'm not buying the author's 'criteria' but to each his own.- Riley More>>>
IBD: Obama's Global Tax
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 09:35 AM EDT
A plan by Barack Obama to redistribute American wealth on a global level is moving forward in the Senate. It follows Marxist theology — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. We are citizens of the world, Sen. Obama told thousands of nonvoting Germans during his recent tour of the Middle East and Europe. And if the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433) he has sponsored becomes law, which is almost certain if he wins in November, we're also going to be taxpayers of the world. More>>>
Introducing Guy-liner and Manscara - the new metrosexual make-up just for men
by
Riley Jones
on Wed 30 Jul 2008 09:19 AM EDT
"In an increasingly metrosexual world, perhaps it was just a matter of time. But yesterday a high street store announced that it would start stocking makeup designed just for men. 'Guy-liner' and 'Manscara' to enhance the eyes of the male in your life, will appear in Superdrug this week."

WSJ: Obamanomics Is a Recipe for Recession
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 29 Jul 2008 04:40 PM EDT
What if I told you that a prominent global political figure in recent months has proposed: abrogating key features of his government's contracts with energy companies; unilaterally renegotiating his country's international economic treaties; dramatically raising marginal tax rates on the "rich" to levels not seen in his country in three decades (which would make them among the highest in the world); and changing his country's social insurance system into explicit welfare by severing the link between taxes and benefits?

Robert Novak: Romney as V.P. could clinch Michigan for McCain
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 29 Jul 2008 04:35 PM EDT
The principal reason why former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has climbed to the top of Sen. John McCain's practical wish list for vice president is the possibility that he could bring Michigan's 17 electoral votes to the Republicans for the first time since 1988. Private polls show Romney could make all the difference in Michigan. A McCain-Romney ticket carries the state by a moderately comfortable margin. With any other running mate, McCain loses Michigan.

Voight: My concerns for America
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 29 Jul 2008 12:37 PM EDT
Obama sowing socialist seeds in young people "We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up. Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset." More>>>
Feder: Dark Knight of the Hollywood Soul
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 29 Jul 2008 04:32 AM EDT
"The Dark Night," sequel to "Batman Begins," is the most disturbing movie I've seen in ages -- and, believe me, I see a lot of movies: the good, the bad and the hideous. It's not because "Dark Knight" is graphically violent (violence has become the sine qua non of action films), but because it's sickeningly sadistic and nihilistic to the point of howling-at-the-moon madness. In other words, it's pure Hollywood. More>>> Monday, July 28
Obamedia Watch: Left-wing minority journalists show their true colors
by
Riley Jones
on Mon 28 Jul 2008 10:12 AM EDT
Michelle Malkin: The UNITY event organizers were so concerned about public displays of Obamedia affection that they issued several warnings to their news professional members that the speech would be broadcast live on CNN. “Professional decorum” was encouraged. One wire story even fretted: “Can minority journalists resist applauding Obama?” Um, well, some of us can. But we don’t count. More>>>
One world? Obama's on a different planet
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 28 Jul 2008 05:02 AM EDT
SEN. BARACK OBAMA said in an interview the day after his Berlin speech that it "allowed me to send a message to the American people that the judgments I have made and the judgments I will make are ones that are going to result in them being safer." If that is what the senator thought he was doing, he still has a lot to learn about both foreign policy and the views of the American people. Although well received in the Tiergarten, the Obama speech actually reveals an even more naive view of the world than we had previously been treated to in the United States More>>> Sunday, July 27

Torturing to save lives, Millions of illegal wiretaps, a Rich White guy as a hero and a psychotic Anarchist as a villain (aren't all anarchists kinda weird?): Was Dark Knight the most overtly pro-conservative, successful film since Red Dawn? More>>>
Why Bush has been a liberal's best friend
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 27 Jul 2008 12:08 PM EDT
Obama is riding the crest of the global wave of relief that Bush is leaving. A wave that is about to break. It doesn't know it, but the liberal-left in Europe and North America has been lucky to have Bush. By building him up into a great Satan, the oil man who invades countries to seize their reserves and the Christian who orders bloody crusades, they have hidden the totalitarian threats of our age from themselves and anyone who listens to them. Bush allowed them to explain away radical Islam as an understandable, even legitimate, response to the hypocrisies and iniquities of American policy. More>>>
Did Steve Fossett fake his own death?

Riley Jones
on Sun 27 Jul 2008 12:06 AM EDT
ROUND-THE-WORLD flying ace Steve Fossett may have FAKED his own death in the mystery plane crash that left NO WRECKAGE and NO BODY. This is the sensational theory of a US air force officer on the month-long search for Fossett AND crack insurance investigators who are convinced this legend of the skies may still be ALIVE. More>>>
Eventually, we will all hate Obama too
by
Riley Jones
on Sun 27 Jul 2008 12:04 AM EDT
It amuses me that some of those who criticise the present US Administration for its Manichaeism - its division of the world into good and evil - themselves allocate all past badness to Bush and all prospective goodness to Obama. As the ever-improving myth has it, on the morning of September 12, 2001, George W. and America enjoyed the sympathy of the world. This comradeship was destroyed, in a uniquely cavalier (or should we say cowboyish) fashion, through the belligerence, the carelessness, the ideological fixity and the rapacity of that amorphous and useful category of American flawed thinker, the neoconservative.

Can't Contain Exhilaration Over 'World Stage' for 'Messiah' Obama
by
Riley Jones
on Sat 26 Jul 2008 09:39 AM EDT
Barack Obama's Magical Media Tour hit its high point Thursday night as the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts all led with Obama's speech in Berlin, with NBC's Brian Williams and Andrea Mitchell the most giddy, though ABC featured a German man who hailed Obama as “my new messiah.” More>>>
Kwame unhinged: Detroit mayor in reported racial tirade/assault
by
Riley Jones
on Sat 26 Jul 2008 05:00 AM EDT
Michelle Malkin: Kwame Kilpatrick is a real gem. The latest? His personal bond has been revoked and his travel restricted after he reportedly threw a detective off a porch in the middle of a racial temper tantrum. The good news (or rather, the bad news): He’s still allowed to attend the Democratic National Convention! More>>>
The Late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and a Brutal Assault at a Minnesota Amusement Park
by
Riley Jones
on Sat 26 Jul 2008 12:39 AM EDT
Forty-odd years ago, one in four blacks (23.3%) was born out of wedlock. Today, more than 70% of blacks are. Does this tell the world anything? The late and in so many respects great New York senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then an underling in the Department of Labor, foretold the crisis back in the Sixties. In his famously controversial memo, “The Negro Family: The Case for National Action,” Moynihan, himself the product of a broken home, warned that black family structures in America neared “total breakdown.” It has come to pass.

Times Online: Obama MOCKED in British Newspaper
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 25 Jul 2008 11:39 AM EDT
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow. More>>>

Let’s fact check Obama
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 25 Jul 2008 10:19 AM EDT
Beginning with getting wrong the bio of his father, Barack Obama Sr. Democratic Sen. Barack Obama Jr. gave a speech in Berlin tonight and let me count the factual errors.The first factual error to leap out was this: More>>> In Berlin, Obama was just making up facts! His fiction about Belfast is even worse than his story about Airlift flights turning back. As mistakes go, I would say this is the ultimate. A prepared speech (not an off-the-teleprompter gaffe), announced days in advance to the world. More>>>
IBD: Putting Money Where Mouths Are: Media Donations Favor Dems 100-1
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 25 Jul 2008 10:02 AM EDT
The New York Times' refusal to publish John McCain's rebuttal to Barack Obama's Iraq op-ed may be the most glaring example of liberal media bias this journalist has ever seen. But true proof of widespread media bias requires one to follow an old journalism maxim: Follow the money. More>>> Thursday, July 24

Michaels: Hansen Unhinged
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 24 Jul 2008 10:56 PM EDT
Hansen’s 1988 predictions were flatly wrong about the extent of global warming. Yet on the 20th anniversary of his original testimony, Hansen said that people “should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature” for spreading doubts about the promised global warming holocaust. He named names, too: the CEOs of ExxonMobil and Peabody Energy. Excuse me, Inquisitor Hansen, but what exactly are their crimes against humanity? Being demonstrably wrong about climate science?

Planet Gore: The Grand Exaggerator
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 24 Jul 2008 05:36 PM EDT
Here’s how Gore works. He’ll cite one scientific finding that shows what he wants, and then ignore other work that provides important context. Here’s a list of his climate exaggerations from his well-publicized July 17 rant, along with a few sobering facts. Gore: “Scientists . . . have warned that there is now a 75 percent chance that within five years the entire [North Polar] ice cap will completely disappear during the summer months.” More>>>
Borowitz: Liberal Bloggers Accuse Obama of Trying to Win Election
by

on Thu 24 Jul 2008 03:44 PM EDT
The liberal blogosphere was aflame today with new accusations that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) is trying to win the 2008 presidential election. Suspicions about Sen. Obama's true motives have been building over the past few weeks, but not until today have the bloggers called him out for betraying the Democratic Party's losing tradition. More>>>
Conservative coping mechanism: the secret resume
by
Riley Jones
on Thu 24 Jul 2008 08:55 AM EDT
Now, you might point out that having different versions of your resume isn’t so unusual. Obviously when you’re applying to any kind of job, you’ll need to tailor your resume to meet the requirements the employer might be looking for. Duh: we do that. But this is different–they’re the sort of general CV’s we might bring along to a professional conference to hand out.
And though we’re on different continents and in different professions, we each decided instinctively to omit some valuable experience from our resumes–because of a fear of retaliation for our political beliefs. More>>>
