Super-conservative confuzzled by vote for Obama

Prior to the election of the Chosen One, there were a number of “conservatives” (see what I did there?) who were all kinds of enthusiastic about Obama.  You know, folks like Christopher Buckley and David Brooks who for some reason warmed to the label of conservative (or moderate-conservative?) but didn’t quite get that conservatism is [...]

Oh noes! What is wrong with Obama?

Michael Tomasky at the Guardian blogs about “The great Obama-Axelrod-etc. mystery,” and how truly, unbearably impossible it is that this “plenty smart man” who ran “such a brilliant campaign” could be floundering his way toward losing the House, possibly the Senate, and whatever glorious New Age they thought they were leading us toward.

It really is [...]

9.7% unemployment good news? Must be a Democrat in office!

From the Hot Air link, we read that columnist Tommy Christopher sees that March jobs reports, which has unemployment holding at 9.7%, is super-duper good!

The headline:

March Jobs Report Good News for America, Bad News for GOP

All right!

Nothing like being a hair under double-digit unemployment to get those happy shivers going down your spine.

White House Press [...]

The world's smallest violin for Representative Hank Johnson

I’m hearing from different sources this morning that picking on Congressman Hank Johnson’s obvious confusion while speaking with Admiral Willard about relocating Navy personnel to Guam was a mean-spirited, heartless, insensitive, and downright, well… conservative thing to do.

He’s sick, don’t you know.

Rep. Hank Johnson is the Atlanta Democrat who defeated and replaced the execrable Cynthia [...]

More stuff from Pence and Fox News Sunday

I’m going to add a little more from what Congressman Mike Pence had to say on Fox News Sunday, but I think it’s worth a separate post, as it goes off in a slightly different direction from our last entry on the health care vote. 

While Pence was telling the Dems to “stop digging,” he made [...]

Chicago about to collapse into anarchy!

large_zombies

Shocked by the sudden and completely unexpected revelation that they would not be hosting the Olympic Games in 2016… the city of Chicago crumbles into a chaotic, post-apocalptic civilization complete with leather-clad marauders and brain-eating zombies.

Oh, the horror.  If only Obama could have saved them.

An audible gasp swept through the plaza when the large-screen video [...]

Obama flexes muscles against Iran

muscles01

It’s kind of funny to listen to the lefties talk all tough on the national stage.  They used to gripe about Bush being a cowboy, but there’s certainly something to be said about being in a position where you need to talk tough… and then having other nations believe you. 

Obama?  I’m not sure how much [...]

How bad is it for Dems at these town hall meetings?

mob_pitchforks_small

Pretty bad.

Here’s one from Frozen Tundra Land, where Representative Gwen Moore from Milwaukee has returned home to seek the counsel and wisdom from her district, or something like that. 

The first thing you’ll notice when you read the news stories from reporters coming back from these meetings is that they are just plain, outright shocked  that [...]

Read My Lips: One Term President

flushing_toilet

I honestly didn’t think it was possible to dismantle a presidency so quickly.  Especially one that was so popular, so charismatic, so full of undiluted awesome sauce. 

I understand he hasn’t had any real experience running anything.  Not a business, not a state, not a lemonade stand.  But for gosh sakes… he’s got advisers, doesn’t he???   [...]

Can old McCain advisors go away, please?

I wasn’t a big fan of McCain before he ran for the White House.  Sure, once it was clear he was the only choice, I got on board, but few of us conservatives had much love for him.  During the campaign he caused ample amounts of frustration, from how he dealt with Palin to refusing [...]
