The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Obama, the Deficit-Hater

After two years of pissing away trillions of dollars in borrowed money, President Obama this week will present “a multiyear debt-reduction plan” — which is kind of like Tiger Woods deciding to cut back on banging cocktail waitresses after his wife left him. Notice that Obama sends a campaign strategist onto Meet the Press to […]

Glimmer Of Understanding From Ezra

by Smitty Even the eyes of the most deadened zombie can occasionally hint at understanding. There is good reason to think that Boehner will be a much more formidable opponent for Obama than Gingrich was for Clinton. So why were Reid and Obama so eager to celebrate Boehner’s compromise with his conservative members? The Democrats […]

Not Trying to Play ‘True Conservative’ Here, But the Budget Deal Is a Problem

Where to begin? I suppose a good logical starting point is this video with Mark Levin calling in to Neal Cavuto’s show: Those Republicans who are in high-five victory-lap end-zone-dance mode over the late-night budget deal — and yeah, I’m looking at you, Carl Cameron — will be tempted to dismiss Levin’s criticism as just […]

Rep. Ryan Pulls Weekly GOP Address Duty

by Smitty via (No Sheeples Here) Government has not been telling us the truth? Really? We need to get behind Paul Ryan and demand accountability, both from our government and ourselves. And when you’ve had your fill of sobriety, Iowahawk shreds Lindsey Graham. My experience has only served to underscore Miss Buelah’s perspicacity, for I […]

Allen West: A Firm ‘No’ on Budget Deal

by Smitty The Hill has it briefly, Liberty Pundits picked it up, and Cubachi elaborates with a Fox clip elaborating on his opposition: West is such a mensch he scared Debbie Wasserman-Schultz out of the Florida delegation. Given sufficient Allen West clones, I think the country’s problems are solveable. The question would move to where […]

REPORT: Deal Struck, Averts Shutdown (Insert ’30 Pieces of Silver’ Joke Here)

I’d been planning to go to bed early but stayed awake long enough to catch this: President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said tonight that lawmakers have agreed on a temporary extension of government funding, averting a government shutdown while Congress considers a longer-term budget agreement. Boehner made the same announcement during a […]

New Motherf–g Tone Update: Government Shutdown Edition

“We are heading to a shutdown not because of a debate over money, not because of a debate over cuts but because Republicans continue to push a radical agenda against women . . . throwing women and children under the bus.” — Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Maryland Democrat Ezra Klein of The Washington Post claims that a mere […]

Democrats Draw the Line, Will Shut Down Government Over Planned Parenthood

In her 2006 book, Godless, Ann Coulter called abortion “the holiest sacrament” in the religion of liberalism. Democrats would rather shut down the federal government than de-fund Planned Parenthood: Congressional budget negotiations broke up before dawn on Friday without an agreement, putting the government on a path to a shutdown when financing for federal agencies […]
