Allen West to Obama: ‘Heck, I’ll Even Debate You and Klein Together’

When Florida Democrat Ron Klein’s campaign announced that the incumbent would bring in President Obama and Nancy Pelosi for a big-money Oct. 11 fundraiser, his 22nd District challenger Allen West declared, “Welcome to the jungle.” Now the Republican has formalized that invitation in a new 30-second TV spot: Welcome to South Florida Mr. President. You and Ron Klein should leave […]

I Can’t Figure Out Why Dr. Wolf Is So Conservative

by Smitty The President’s medical doctor, anti-ObamaCare cousin, Dr. Wolf, is touting the Election Day Tea Party: Check out #41, Todd Young–my Naval Academy classmate! Go, Navy! What I can’t grasp is the focus on 50. It’s as though we should. . .stop there, or something. Up that! There isn’t a single Democrat incumbent that […]

Nefarious Or Stuck In A Kafka Machine, You Decide

by Smitty (h/t House of Eratosthenes) I’m going to risk irritating Andrew Cline at the American Spectator just a tad bit by rejecting this assertion: Campaigning in Des Moines, Iowa, yesterday, the President repeated his biggest health care reform whopper: You can keep your current health insurance.

by Smitty The rally was a modern art statement in litter. Conservatives hate art, which is why they don’t understand the important expression on display. The rally was economic stimulus in litter. It was crucial that the attendees generate work for other people. Found in the clutter: a handmade sign “Bite Us, Frédéric Bastiat” (I […]

Liberal Attacks Reporter at Rally, Because Dissent Is the Highest Form of Patriotism

Miss Miller is heard on the video saying, “Please don’t hit me.” The protester proceeds to yell at the reporter, “Well get out […]

How Dare You?

One of the trademark reflexes of organized liberalism is the tendency of its adherents to respond to critics in outraged tones of self-righteous indignation: “How dare you . . .?” Thus, when it was suggested during the Bush presidency that liberals seemed more concerned with defeating Republicans than defeating terrorists, the response was: How dare you question our […]

Al Gore Answers Victor Davis Hanson

by Smitty Yes! The toil of making a transcript of Gore’s remarks last weekend in support of “Gentleman” Jim Moran pays off. Victor Davis Hanson has one of his excellent ruminations (RTWT) over at Pajamas Media, and poses a question: 4. The Plutocratic Party? I cannot fathom how the Democratic Party became run by those […]

Offshore Drilling: Another Reason Jim Moran Needs To Find New Work

by Smitty Via Shelly’s List, the comPost quotes my Congresstool: Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), who chairs the House Appropriations Committee’s interior and environment subcommittee, said that if Democrats retain control of the House in the midterm elections, he will press for a moratorium on drilling in the mid-Atlantic and off Alaska. “The gulf […]
