Truth Team starts out with a massive FAIL [guest post by motionview]

The chart on the left is taken from the successor to #AttackWatch, the new MinTru, Truth Team. On the right I’ve added a little information the Team neglected to mention. Get a good look now, I have a feeling their chart will disappear soon. In addition to an instinctual Conservative for President, we need to keep the House and expand the TEA Party Caucus. Unless you want San Fran Nan

Protesters at CPAC: “WHAT DO WE WANT? SOMETHING! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? DEPENDS: WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT AGAIN?”

Okay, so I’m paraphrasing. But I don’t think I’m that far off, to be honest. In a just world, every time Nancy Pelosi or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz or some other leftwing mouthpiece describes actual grass-roots movements like the TEA Party as astroturfed inventions of powerful right-wing corporate interests, the media lackey she’s dictating such rank bullshit to would show her video like this one and ask for her comment. Then, when

Hope and Change, revisited

Terry Jeffrey, CNS, “Debt Has Climbed $4.47T Since Obama Released First Budget—Calling for ‘A New Era of Responsibility’”: On Feb. 26, 2009, as Obama released his budget for fiscal 2010, the national debt stood at $10.88 trillion (10,881,159,722,022.36). At the close of business on Feb. 9, 2012, the national debt stood at $15.36 trillion ($15,355,838,921,022.16). That represents an increase in the debt of $4.47 trillion ($4,474,679,198,999.80). The $4.47-trillion increase in

“Inside Media Matters: Sources, memos reveal erratic behavior, close coordination with White House and news organizations” [UPDATED]

It’s like the uber Journolist / Townhouse / JuiceBox Mafia listserv for “progressive” news cycle setting and baldface propaganda — this time, going all the way up to the most transparent White House evah! And the thing is? There isn’t a conservative alive who is in the least bit shocked by any of this. — Well, except maybe Rick Moran. Who is probably busy penning an angry retort to the

“Top Republican at CPAC: Jeb Bush could emerge as nominee at a brokered convention”

Or alternately, if we can’t get a squish like Romney by way of the primary process, we’ll figure out a way to install one of our own at the convention! Al Cardenas, head of the American Conservative Union, has said that Republican turmoil might lead to a brokered convention in which Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, would emerge as a “possible alternative” party nominee. Mr Cardenas, who is running this

The Song of the Useful Idiots (verse 2)

Privacy is a right! Freedom of choice! KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR BEDROOMS! (Unless it’s a committed Catholic’s bedroom, in which case the Papist’s hostility toward contraception is just crazy and irrational, and so has no justifiable claim to privacy, it being a crime against reason itself, and so can’t in good SCIENTIFIC and MEDICAL conscience be allowed to stand in the way of women’s health. In other words,

The Song of the Useful Idiots

Unitary executive! Corporate welfare for Big Pharma! KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF MY UTERUS! — Or, you know, just promise to throw me some free shit, and we’ll forget all that and fall right in line. Your choice, Big Gov. We’re easy that way.**

The next chess piece moves

Does Obama’s dictatorial ploy to force private companies and the individuals therein to both pay for and provide “free” birth control, sterilization, arbortifacients, etc., gain strength if it can actually lower the costs of health insurance premiums? Writes Sarah W in the comments: I am horrified at the prospect of national health care, and the related infringements of Obamacare if anyone here isn’t familiar with me. People ought to be

Obama mandate will cost insurance companies $2.8 billion

Which means all that “free stuff” will paradoxically (though predictably) lead to an increase in rates for everyone. Or to put it more forcefully, the President has determined that he has the authority, as well as the support of his base, to force the public to pick up the cost of freely-chosen lifestyle choices (from here on considered a “right” by the left, with a condom being refigured as part
