BLACK DEATH CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE?

Yep. That’s what I said. According to to Ulf Buentgen, the bubonic plague was made possible by climate change. Oh, I almost forgot. It also caused the fall of Rome:
Periods of climate instability overlapped with political turmoil, such as during the decline of the Roman empire, and might even have made Europeans vulnerable to the […]

NEW POLL: VOTERS SAY LEFTY RHETORIC WORSE THAN THAN RIGHTY RHETORIC

This is an interesting comment on the dwindling influence of the “news” media. Despite a concerted effort by the MSM to blame the Tucson shooting on “right-wing vitriol,” the voters just aren’t buying. In fact, a new Quinnipiac survey shows that actual voters think the left is more responsible for “heated rhetoric.”
Liberals rather than conservatives are […]

WILL THE REPUBLICANS STICK TO THEIR GUNS ON OBAMACARE REPEAL?

In my latest article for the American Spectator, I discuss the need for the Republicans to ignore Dem-MSM attempts to use Tucson as a means of cowing them into backing off ObamaCare repeal:
Having lost much of the legitimate power they wielded before November 2, the Democrats hope to use this tragedy as a means of […]

GOP TAKES AIM AT OCARE’S 1099 MANDATE

Actually, there’s a significant amount of bipartsan support for killing this provision of the “reform” boondoggle. There are at least a dozen Democrats among the 245 co-sponsors of this bill:
Republicans and Democrats, and even the White House, have since said they support repealing this … The bill would repeal language requiring companies, starting in 2012, to report […]

46-12-4

I want to assure any progressive who may be reading this post that the above title is not a sacred number for a shadowy right-wing extremist group and it has nothing to do with “2012.” It’s actually way more interesting.  Dr. Milton Wolf uses this number series to point out that voters are less and […]

AUDIO: DEMOCRAT JAMES CLYBURN OPENLY ADVOCATES GOVT “RESTRAINT ON SPEECH”

If you have any doubt that the Democrats want to use the Loughner shooting rampage as a pretext for clamping down on free expression, I offer this NPR audio of Rep. Clyburn openly advocating speech restrictions. If this doesn’t make you nervous, consider that his daughter is the Commissioner of the FCC:

By the way, the […]

OBAMACARE REPEAL: GOP HAS ANOTHER LUCY-AND-THE-FOOTBALL MOMENT

I would like to believe that this report from Bloomberg is untrue, but I’m afraid that it’s all too easy to imagine the Republicans getting suckered yet again in a Dem-MSM Lucy-and-the-football trick.
We have seen no evidence from any source that Jared Loughner was influenced by political rhetoric about ObamaCare or anything else. Nonetheless, the GOP has apparently decided to “temper” its tone:
House Speaker John […]

POLL: MOST AMERICANS REJECT CYNICAL MSM SPIN ON LOUGHNER SHOOTING RAMPAGE

Most Americans are evidently smart enough to see through those whoppers the Democrats and the ”news” media have been peddling about the (fictitious) relationship between political rhetoric and the insane violence of people like  Jared Loughner:
A majority of Americans don’t see a connection between vitriolic rhetoric and Jared Loughner’s shooting rampage in Tucson on Saturday, CBS reports in a poll it released […]

BRINGING OBAMA’S MEDICRATS TO HEEL

Hey, here’s an idea: Instead of using the Arizona tragedy as a pretext for restricting free expression and dictating the names of Republican-sponsored bills, how about let’s rein in the out-of-control health care bureaucrats Obama has installed at HHS and the FDA. In my latest piece for the American Spectator, I give a few examples […]

VIDEO: LEFTIES TWEET ABOUT KILLING PALIN

While sanctimonious poseurs lecture conservatives about civil political discourse, most of the vitriol, violent imagery and murder fantasies actually come from the left. Here’s a collection of Twitter posts from progressives wishing for Sarah Palin’s death:

These creatures are not merely repulsive, they are evidently too stupid to read (or watch) the news stories showing that Jared Loughner had […]
