TIS LATEST HEADLINE: TIS: Calling Out Sam Stein of The Huffington Post / Palins Health Care in Canada
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD: “An imaginary Islamic student is not entitled to a heckler’s veto on a teacher’s passive, popular or unpopular expression about God’s place in the history of the United States.” - Judge Roger Benitez of California's Southern District, in his rejection of arguments by a school district attempting to force a teacher to remove long-standing, patriotic religious banners from his classroom. 03/01/2010

 Never mind that this week the Politico chose to focus on the top two earmark offenders in Congress as Republicans even though five of the next six on the list were Democrats. Never mind that any adverse weather, hot or cold, wet or dry, typical or unusual, is attributed to man-made climate change without any regard to historical weather and climate patterns. Never mind that the Left held fast to outlandish and completely unsustainable guestimates that the Iraq War killed up to a million and a half Iraqi civilians. If something can’t be proven, the Left will make up worst-case-scenario numbers and statistics and hammer them home as the Gospel. The same holds true for the Leftist approach to the economy. It’s almost as if the Lancet study in Iraq was applied to job numbers. During most of the Bush era, unemployment numbers were at or near historic lows. This was because the Bush Administration’s approach to an economic downturn was to cut taxes and while spending was still a problem, it at least remained within reason when compared to the growth in the overall economy. I was told repeatedly throughout those years that unemployment numbers were irrelevant when gauging the strength of the economy.
“This child’s future is a broken home. He will be abandoned by his father. His single mother will struggle to raise him. Despite the hardships he will endure…this child…will become…the 1st African-American President.” – Transcript from ad rejected by NBC for the 2009 SuperBowl By now we all know about the surprisingly controversial ad by Focus on the Family that ran during the SuperBowl last weekend. The ad featured Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam. His mother described a difficult pregnancy and was then – brace yourself – tackled by her son who, it turns out, was born. The mother jokingly asks Tim why he did that and he laughs and says, “Sorry mom.” Various leaders of the National Organization of Wenches (NOW) expressed outrage at the Tebow tackle, claiming that in some bizarre, pink-stained world, this glorifies violence against women – a position that ironically trivializes real violence against women. If we’re going to get stupid about this stuff then we could carry it further and point out that blurring the lines between a fake, comedic assault and the real kinds of violence that real people deal with does nothing to serve the cause against that violence. Not [Continue...] Tuesday night found me flipping back and forth between FOXNews and MSNBC. What a contrast! FOX was putting forth the view that the Scott Brown victory Tuesday night was a reaction by the people to the Obama/Democratic agenda, particularly the health-care-conformity bill and spending in general. On MSNBC, Chris Mathews and Richard, uh, Rachel Maddow were spouting off to Keith Olbermann (with each name mentioned this just gets better and better). Maddow went on a tirade about how this was a message to Democrats that the people were tired of the waiting and they want this health care bill passed now! This was all said in-between Olbermann’s rhythmic sneering. The question I have here – is Maddow the fool or is she right and it’s Democrats across the board (at least in Massachusetts) who are fools? Among the Maddow snarl, coupled with her trademark, ‘Look at me, I’m being sarcastic to make a point” smile, her words spoke volumes about the way these far-left radical commentators see the people, even their own. That, or it’s just empty garbage that sounds good on the surface. According to her, Democrats want health care reform NOW! And they accomplish that by voting in the Republican and ruining [Continue...] While everyone either mopes or celebrates tonight’s GOP upset in Massachusetts, while we focus on the current and ponder the future, while Democrats go through their motions of blaming everyone but themselves, while they plot yet another assault on the democratic process in their furthering efforts to swindle the American people under the guise of health-care…I would like conservatives to take a moment, er – the next 10 months – to consider the positive role everyone played in making this night possible. Senator-elect Scott Brown (who I suspect may be Senator-elect for a while to come), despite some of the rumblings from the Left and the press, is not a hard-as-nails conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Brown seems cemented in his desire to see the Pelosi-Reid-Obama health-care-conform package quietly buried in the back yard where it belongs. Yet he supported the Massachusetts mandated state-sponsored health-care system. He is also hardly conservative on social issues. On an appearance on Hannity’s America last week, Hannity asked him about his social issues which Brown dodged and Hannity, to his credit, didn’t make too much about it. And therein lies the lesson. I’ve grown tired over the last couple of disastrous election cycles where my [Continue...] The Alliance Defense Fund is one of America’s best secrets and an organization that we should all support. They are the conservative answer to secular activist groups like the ACLU. The ADF is a coalition of leading attorneys who take on the ACLU and others in defense of America’s founding principles and in particular, our First Amendment liberties. If you give to political causes, please consider the ADF. They are the David to the ACLU’s Goliath and have intervened on behalf of many private citizens, religious organizations and public school districts under assault by the anti-American, politically correct agenda of the ACLU and other leftwing activists. Their lawyers often work pro-bono, relying on donations that typically leave them with a fraction of the ACLU war chest, yet they are highly effective and have thwarted many attempts to undermine freedom, especially in regards to issues of speech and religion. The ADF is representing the defenders and supporters of California’s Proposition 8, the defendants representing the will of the people and the sanctity of the state’s constitution. The plaintiffs in the case are the usual batch of California-based hyper-activists who assert that sexual preference trumps everything and anything in society – history, tradition, common sense, nature and [Continue...] Once again, in what is becoming the theme for this administration (and Congress), government incompetence is leading to the systematic punishment of all Americans. During the 2008 Democratic primaries, Joe Biden (now Barack Obama’s VP) had lobbed a verbal grenade at the rising Obama, pointing out that, “The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.” He’s right, of course. George W. Bush waited seven minutes to leave a classroom to respond to the 9/11 attacks and was eviscerated for it. Barack Obama waited three days into his Hawaiian vacation to respond to Friday’s terror attack on board an international flight as it was headed into Detroit. According to the Associated Press: Officials said that [waiting three days to respond] was deliberate – an effort by the White House to balance the need for the president to show concern but also to not unduly elevate a botched incident and thereby encourage other would-be attackers. I’m not sure how the president being silent for three days discourages other potential attacks but it’s precisely this kind of attitude toward terrorism and national security that converted me into a George W. Bush supporter and someone who voted for my first Republican in 2002. Obama didn’t [Continue...] |
