Ann Coulter Speaks Of Liberal Victimhood

Ann Coulter’s column today speaks of liberal victimhood, the act of playing victim in order to achieve goals and oppress others. In it she mentions the victim Caroline McCarthy, a New York U.S. Representative whose husband and son were shot to death on the Long Island Railroad in 1993. She has since been a strong advocate for banning gun ownership.

This of course makes a great opportunity to win the hearts and minds of people by thrusting your trials and tribulations on others in order to win their advocacy. But Coulter points out that when McCarthy says she is a voice for victims, she may actually be creating more victims. Read more

As U.S. Moves Left Anti-Gun Bills Appearing

When it was announced that Barack Obama would be running for the presidency, it quickly became common knowledge that he was one of the most liberal senators in Washington. We new little about him then and today still know little about him but we are slowly finding out.

During the campaign much discussion took place on this blog and others across the Net about Obama’s anti-gun positions, even though he has attempted to paint a different picture of himself than the actions he has taken against guns. Campaigns can put spots on zebras and stripes on hippopotamus. Read more

Obama’s Obsession With Rush Limbaugh

I just don’t get it! President Obama and now it appears the majority of the democratic party , seems fixated on Rush Limbaugh as though he is now some evil monster – well I suppose to them he is. But why?

Recently, President Obama told Congressional republican leaders to stop listening to Rush so that they could get something done. In all seriousness, is President Obama so insecure that he fears Rush Limbaugh? Granted Rush is a powerful man with a large following but does anyone think he can lead a junta against the president and his party? Or that he would even want to?

It all makes little sense to me. Read more

How The Media Can Be Dangerous While Serving Injustice

I am “the media” so don’t think that I’m excluding myself here. But I’m also proud to exclaim I am not the so-called Main Stream Media, which is working its way toward extinction. I recently heard Bernard Goldberg on the Sean Hannity show refer to the media (main stream) as a political activist organization now, having moved beyond simple bias.

We all have our own biases and opinions about the media. I’m sure most influenced to some degree in how we have been treated. The question exists as to what drives the media to report what they report the way they do. Is it activism? Is it agenda driven? Is it personal bias? Might it be ignorance? Or is it mostly what sells copies? It might be some or a lot of any and all of the above. Read more

Man-Made Global Warming Now Declared “Irreversible”

It has gotten so ridiculous that the global warming cultists have now resorted to calling the effects of anthropogenic climate change irreversible. A report in the Associated Press said so and therefore it must be true.

“People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide the climate would go back to normal in 100 years, 200 years; that’s not true,” climate researcher Susan Solomon said in a teleconference.

Statement on USFWS Plans to Introduce More Mexican Gray Wolves in the Southwest

R.J. Smith, Senior Fellow, The National Center for Public Policy Research

Washington, DC – For a quarter of a century the controversial program to repopulate the Southwest with Mexican Gray Wolves has created a constant political struggle in New Mexico and Arizona. There were very good reasons why the early settlers across the West and the local, state and federal governments cooperated in eliminating the wolves. The large numbers of wolves made cattle and sheep ranching nearly impossible with their constant depredations on the livestock and they also threatened family dogs and even children. Read more

Black Leader Lauds Bush Commutation of Border Agents’ Sentences

Washington, D.C. – Mychal Massie, the chairman of the Project 21 black leadership network, is praising the decision made today by outgoing President George W. Bush to commute the sentences of jailed Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean.

Under the terms of the commutation order, made by President Bush on his last full day in office, the imprisoned law enforcement officers will be released on March 20. Ramos and Compean were sentenced to 11 and 12 years, respectively. Much of their time since entering prison in January of 2007 has been spent in solitary confinement. Read more

Doug Giles: God Loves Hunting And Hunters

Up to his usual, Doug Giles, TownHall.com, blasts away at the PETA anti-hunting crowd with passages from the Holy Scriptures that show Jesus approved of hunting and fishing.

Also pitching his upcoming book, “A Theology of Hunting: Why God Loves Hunting & Hunters”, Giles tells us that even Christians are acting “goofy” about hunting and fishing. Read more

Energy Bubble, Anyone?

Henry Waxman Gives Public a Look at the Corporate-Congressional Alliance that Threatens to Raise Energy Prices in Pursuit of Private Profit

Washington, D.C. – Thursday’s first hearing of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee since Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) ousted Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) as chairman is drawing criticism from the National Center for Public Policy Research, which says the hearing illustrates how powerful corporate interests are working with influential special interests and with the liberal majority in Congress to use government to enhance private profits at great cost to economic growth and liberty.

Senators Crapo and Risch Sell Out Republican Party and Idaho

Guest commentary by Dr. Rex Rammell

It didn’t take Risch long to show his true colors. On his very first vote, Risch joined Crapo and 10 other liberal Republican and 54 Democrat senators to stop a Republican filibuster, which would have continued debate and allowed for possible amendments to the huge omnibus public land grab bill currently before the U.S. Senate.

The “Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009” will cordon off more than 3 million acres from energy leasing by restricting various areas as “federal wilderness” or “wild and scenic” river way. The Act includes 160 separate land measures including Senator Crapo’s Owyhee Wilderness. It also includes 45 pork laden earmarks including a $461 million legal settlement to restore a minimum of 500 salmon to the San Joaquin River in California. The Act is expected to cost $10 billion.

Reid Ignores Economy to Force Vote on Pork Laden Omnibus Lands Bill

January 9, 2009 – Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) made the following statement regarding Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nevada) decision to hold the first vote of the 111th Congress this Sunday on a massive omnibus lands bill that contains numerous wasteful earmarks:

“This Sunday charade is proof that while President-Elect Obama talks about change and bipartisanship, the Senate Majority Leader is stuck in the partisan past. Instead of focusing on the economy, he has dusted off a pork laden lobbyist-giveaway bill from the previous Congress,” said Senator DeMint. Read more
