Gas Price Hypocrisy

An interesting video from Conservative show host Don Smith talking about gas price hypocrisy.

Presidential Indignation

The recent death of terrorist "mastermind" Osama bin Laden was a great victory for the United States. By his own account, President Obama agreed. So why is the President- the one who invariably signed bin Laden's death warrant- so willing to ignore how we got to him in the first place?

Al Jazeera Receives Columbia University's Journalism Award

If there was any doubt left about whether or not American universities have a liberal bias, it's certainly gone now. Last week Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism announced that it was awarding Al Jazeera English with its highest award for "great service in bringing the English-speaking world in-depth coverage of the turmoil in the Middle East.” Dean Nicholas Lemann continued the sentiment stating "We salute its determination to get to the heart of a complicated story unfolding in countries where news has historically been difficult to cover." The state-funded net...

You're only as good as the company you keep, right?

The Middle Class: Shrink, Shrank, Shrunk.

During a recent interview with Aaron Task of The Daily Ticker, Sherle Schwenninger discussed the "sobering facts" of what the midde class in America are currently experiencing. Schwenninger pointed out that "The middle class is shrinking, which threatens the social composition and stability of the world's biggest economy." He continued to say "I worry that we're becoming a barbell society - a lot of money wealth and power at the top, increasing hollowness at the center, which I think provides the stability and the heart and soul of the society... and then too many people in fear of fallin...

All-American Superhero Isn't So American Anymore.

That's right kids, Superman is renouncing his citizenship. Mike Huckabee responded to the news best saying: ''It is a comic book, but you know it's disturbing that Superman, who has always been an American icon, is now saying: 'I'm not going to be an American citizen.'" "It's part of a bigger trend of Americans almost apologising for being Americans.''

Democrats Announce New Assault On Small Business

It's déjà vu all over again. Democrats in congress have re-introduced a small business –jobs bill that has no hope of helping small business. Pandering to labor union interests, filled with Democrats’ flawed understanding of what creates private sector jobs, and crammed full of recycled regulations from the failed Waxman-Markey Energy bill, H.R. 870 is dangerous legislation that uses buzz words rather than sound business principles to encourage small business growth and job creation. The legislation, thinly disguised as a jobs creation bill, panders to the tired, ...

Props for Maureen Dowd (Yes, You Read That Right)

By Maureen Dowd. Posted by Christian Hartsock. I don’t want closure. There is no closure after tragedy. I want memory, and justice, and revenge. When you’re dealing with a mass murderer who bragged about incinerating thousands of Americans and planned to kill countless more, that seems like the only civilized and morally sound response.

Obama's nat'l intel director admits: Waterboarding helped catch bin Laden

By PETER BAKER WASHINGTON – President Obama’s national intelligence director told colleagues in a private memo last week that the harsh interrogation techniques banned by the White House did produce significant information that helped the nation in its struggle with terrorists. “High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa’ida organization that was attacking this country,” Adm. Dennis C. Blair, the intelligence director, wrote in a memo to his staff last Thursday... Posted ...

Who Let the Cows Out? Moo. Moo. Moo. Moo.

By Carissa DiMargo. Got milk? How about 26 gallons of it? One man did, at least for a little while. And that man was dressed in a cow costume. In the category of You Can't Make This Stuff Up If You Tried, the 18-year-old crawled into a Stafford, Va., Walmart on all fours, reported PotomacLocal.com. After standing, he loaded about $92 worth of milk into a shopping cart and simply rolled the cart out of the without paying, police have confirmed to NBC Washington. He then attempted to give the milk away outside the store, and tried to flee the scene by skipping away, police said. Jonatha...

Bernanke: Economic Slowdown A "Temporary Setback."

The saying goes something like "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." I wonder if that sentiment can be applied to countries like it applies to people. Then again, Liberals tend to disregard that kind of "jargon" and behave as if they're Gods, so they probably aren't too concerned with pushing the country to it's breaking point. But, I digress. Yesterday the Federal Reserve revealed that once again, we witnessed an economic slowdown last quarter. Ben Bernanke, the Chairman of the Reserve is brushing off the signifigance of the news and saying it's a "temporary setback." How man...

Birth Certificate Debacle: Case Closed

The great debate surrounding President Obama's birth certificate can finally come to a close. That's good news for most of us who are, in a word, TIRED of hearing the maybe presidential hopeful Donald Trump carry on about it. It's even better news for the President himself. As someone who claims he's got "better stuff" to do, Reuter's was kind enough to put out an agenda for him. We may not agree with some of the things on this list, but hey- at least it takes basketball, golf and vacations out of the equation. *Gasoline prices that are over $4 a gallon in some parts of the United Stat...

Politics+Johnny Cash+Legos= Unexpected Insight

YouTube is great for a lot of things- especially finding entertaining clips of all things American. This Lego stop motion video with the Johnny Cash Song featured as the soundtrack is no exception. Really, what's more American than Johnny Cash, politics and Legos? And yes, we know Legos aren't made in the USA; but show me a kid who hasn't played with them and I'll show you the meaning of deprived.

Uncivil Unions

Last week President Obama and his union-controlled National Labor Relations Board filed a complaint against Boeing for wisely choosing to "dual source" the production of the new 787 aircraft in South Carolina (a right to work state). The complaint asserts that Boeing made the choice based not on strategic business plans but rather as a snide "retaliation for past strike activity" towards Boeing's union. Boeing of course refutes that claim and insists that their decision was based on commitments to customers and financial sensibilities. Regardless of the catalyst, the NLRB complaint is far-...

Rep. Jessie Jackson, Jr.: Jobs Is Stealing Jobs

Just last month Rep. Jessie Jackson, Jr. (D-ILL) delivered a speech on the House floor in which he said "How many people would be put to work building roofs and designing classrooms and providing every student with an iPod and a laptop?” On Friday, Jackson took to the same stage telling a different story, criticizing Apple Ceo Steve Jobs for outsourcing the production of the iPad to China; Contributing to the nation's current level of unemployement and inability to achieve "sustained full production." An admitted iPad owner, Jackson continued his attack by saying “What becom...

Supercharging Our Economy

Tax cuts increase tax revenue. Tax revenues increased by more than 60 percent during the 1960s, after President John F. Kennedy lowered tax rates. President Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts generated a more than 50 percent increase in tax revenues during the 1980s. This is contrary to liberal beliefs, because the facts do not support their redistributionist ideology.

Nadin Khoury: The Courage To Stand Up

Via Rick Reilly at ESPN: A 13-year-old boy named Nadin Khoury told about how he'd been attacked by seven bigger schoolmates, kicked, beaten, dragged through the snow, stuffed into a tree, and hung on a 7-foot spiked fence, all while adults watched. The boy was only 5-foot-2, but he'd made up his mind to stand tall no matter how much of his pride bled out. As the brutal video played on a screen behind him, his collar stayed buttoned, his spine straight, but his bottom lip quivered. "Next time maybe it could be somebody smaller than me," he said, loud and clear, like the Marine he wants ...

A Trillion Here, A Trillion There. Pretty Soon Your Talking About No Money

$1,600,000,000,000.00 There you go. And no ... that's not Obama's new budget. That's Obama's projection for the budget DEFICIT this year! That's money we don't have. That's money we're going to have to borrow. That's money our children and grandchildren are going to have to pay back. Or ... .that's debt our country will eventually try to discharge in bankruptcy. Let me try to put that $1.6 trillion in perspective. We're going on a spending spree. Let's see ..... how much do we want to spend an hour? Does $100,000 an hour work for you? $100,000 an hour 24 hours a day 365 days a...

Celebrating Reagan's 100th Birthday

As we commemorate the 100th birthday of our 40th President this Sunday, RIGHTNETWORK proudly presents some memories and videos on the great Ronald Reagan. Our own Chris Burgard shares some personal memories of meeting Reagan at Big Peace: The first time that I met President Reagan we talked about horse’s butts. The grace of the polo game and the quiet beauty of Will Rogers Park seemed to freeze us in time. We discussed the pros and cons of trying to play polo on a Quarter Horse rather than the preferred Thoroughbred. It was a few weeks until I saw the President ...
