UN Sponsored Poster Campaign Depicts Humans As Evil Monsters

A new poster campaign sponsored by the United Nations depicts humans as evil horror movie monsters intent on slaughtering wildlife, another abhorrent example of how eugenicists are following through on the Club of Rome’s 1991 promise to portray Homo sapiens as the enemy in an effort to construct a world government around the pretext of saving the earth. The three posters reverse the roles of famous horror movies Jaws, King Kong, and Tarantula, characterizing humans as rampaging monsters out to kill defenseless species. They were produced by the Convention on Migratory Species. The poster campaign is being sponsored by the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the ...
Barack Obama Sure Ain't No George W. Bush (and That's Kind of Starting to Feel Like a Bad Thing)

AmericaBlog's John Aravosis puts into words the dark inky pool of despair that many liberal voters can feel welling up in their chests today… It's not about the votes, people. It's about leadership. The current occupant of the White House doesn't like to fight, and the leadership in Congress has never been as good at their jobs, at marshaling their own party, as the Republicans were when they were in the majority… When you have a President who is constitutionally, or intellectually, unable to stand for anything, and a congressional leadership that, rather than disciplining its own members and forging ahead with its own agenda, cedes legislative authority to a ...

Still, a Georgia couple who showed up at the White House a day early for a tour somehow wound up at an invitation-only breakfast with President Barack Obama and the first lady.

Newsweek's Setoodeh: Blame George Bush for Depressing Hollywood Movies

There is absolutely no shock in stating much of the Hollywood media tend to lean slightly more to the left than a fuel gauge pointing to empty. This week I read the upcoming Oscar season seems to focus on movies trending towards morose and dark subjects, and therefore it was with little surprise, and a great deal of mirth, that I learned from an entertainment writer that the reason behind this somber subject matter was not the film makers themselves but a rather well-aimed target for the Hollywood left. These are the sage words from Newsweek writer, Ramin Setoodeh: “You can blame Hollywood's gloom and doom on the Oscars, but I'm not going to. Instead, I think it's George ...
My Big Fat Foreclosure

"I have no clue where I'll be," come Friday, says Greg Staffa in a phone interview with HousingWatch. The Farmington, Minn. man claims that is when he will be thrown out of his modest townhouse into the bitter Minnesota cold at week's end -- and all because he is overweight. Oh, let's just skip the political correctness here. Because he's "fat." Staffa's troubles began, he says, when he was injured on the job as a baggage handler for Northwest Airlines back in 2006. At the time, the now 34-year old Staffa weighed in at 275 pounds. He stands 5'9, he says. A doctor hired by Northwest wrote a report blaming Staffa's injuries on his extra ...
Message to Copenhagen: Our Constitution Begins, 'We the People...'

Tomorrow morning, the delegates at the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen will awaken to a very simple but powerful message: “In America, We Have a Constitution. It Begins: We the People…” These are the opening lines of a message to the American delegates in Copenhagen and the rest of the world sent on behalf of the American people by American Solutions. They are meant as a reminder to both Obama Administration officials and international climate activists that under our constitutional system, the American people, not government bureaucrats, are sovereign. Ronald Reagan was right when he said that America is a nation that has a government -- not the other way ...
Free stuff from Sam--manipulating market as part of electric-car tax credit

I just got a free golf cart. Actually, it cost me $6,490 – but the dealer, Colin Riley of Tucson, Ariz., points out that there's a $6,480 federal tax credit on such vehicles. Riley runs ads that say: "FREE ELECTRIC CAR … !" Some consumers probably assume it's a car-dealer scam, but it's not. It's an Uncle Sam scam. The tax code is outrageously complex and damaging in many ways, but it is made especially complex and damaging when congressmen use it "creatively" to manipulate us into doing things they deem "socially constructive." These are things that always bestow advantages on some politically connected manufacturers at the expense ...
Dear Barack, Spare Me Your E-Mails

Barack Obama's faux populism is beginning to grate, and when yet another one of those "we the people" e-mails from the president landed on my screen as I was fishing around for a column subject, I came unglued. It is one thing to rob us blind by rewarding the power elite that created our problems but quite another to sugarcoat it in the rhetoric of a David taking on those Goliaths. In each of the three most important areas of policy with which he has dealt, Obama speaks in the voice of the little people's champion, but his actions cater fully to the demands of the most powerful economic interests. With his escalation of the war in Afghanistan, he has given the ...
Senate's Solution: Consumer Choice Is Dead on Arrival

According to the health care reform bill being debated in the U.S. Senate, there's an easy way to solve the problem of the uninsured in this country: * Force people to buy health insurance just like we do with auto insurance. * Make insurance companies accept everyone who applies, including those who want insurance only when they're sick. * Don't let companies get away with selling plans that don't cover everything. These three forms of health insurance regulation -- individual mandates, guaranteed issue, and coverage mandates -- have been attempted in a number of states, including California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Washington. The results are described ...

Former Gov. Mitt Romney could square off with Sarah Palin for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, but he’s already gearing up to take her on in the world of book sales. Palin’s bestseller has been racking up sales for the former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate, and now Romney’s team is planning an ambitious national tour for the March release of his new book, “No Apology: The Case for American Greatness.” Romney aides in Utah are hoping for up to 10,000 fans at one of the first stops on the planned tour, a March 13 signing at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City.

ACORN cookies at White House holiday party

At the White House Holiday Party last night, an oddly shaped cookie grabbed my attention. Who knew that acorns were part of the traditional holiday fare? Rep.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democrat who sits with Democratic caucus, said Tuesday that he would not rule out running for re-election in 2012 as a Republican. Lieberman angered his colleagues in the Democratic caucus this week by threatening to torpedo health care legislation if it contains a government-run public health insurance or an expansion of Medicare. Lieberman said he wasn't sure which party, if any, he would represent in his next election. "I like being an independent, so that's definitely a possibility," the Connecticut senator said. "But I'd say all options are open." He called running as a Republican ...

The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., was approved on a 223-202 vote without a single co-sponsor and no hearings. Its major congressional actions ...

While everyone focuses on Sen. Joseph Lieberman and conflict inside the Democratic party, we've heard less about another development in the national health care debate: Republicans seem increasingly confident that the two GOP moderates once thought to be possible votes for the Democratic bill, Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, will stay in the opposition camp. Today Collins told reporters that the bill under consideration in the Senate is "too deeply flawed for me to support it." "I don't see voting for the current bill that is on the floor, even with the improvements that have been made," Collins said. "I'm very leery of the impact of nearly ...

Sen. John Kerry's new fundraising letter seeks to make a bogeyman of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement and rally liberals for the 2010 midterm elections. A new fundraising letter from Sen. John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts gives a strong hint about how Democrats may try to stir their base to action during the 2010 election season: scare them with the prospect of a Sarah Palin nation. “Think GOP obstruction is bad now?” Senator Kerry asks in a fundraising letter sent out Tuesday morning by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “Just imagine what Washington would look like if a bunch of new senators – inspired by Sarah Palin and the tea party crowd – ...

Harry Reid can rightly claim to be making history. If he passes health-care reform, he'll depend on a series of historic "firsts."

George W. Bush--Next on Mount Rushmore

As regular readers know, I sometimes like to make arguments for positions I don’t hold, just to test my viewpoint. Today I will argue that President George W. Bush will be regarded by historians as among the best presidents ever, and might get a place on Mt. Rushmore. Reiterating: This is not my view. To judge the greatness of a president, you are allowed to consider only his top priorities. For example, no one remembers Abe Lincoln’s position on, well, anything except the Cvil War. For the purposes of choosing a greatest president, you can round up all the little issues and toss them away. For example, while critics might say restricting government funding for stem cell ...

On a Saturday night in 2007 at the Wal-Mart in Kennett, Mo., Heather Ellis went into an angry tirade in the checkout line, grabbed another customer's merchandise and pushed it away from the cash register, not just once, but four times. When a manager told her to leave the store, she responded, "I'm not leaving and you can't make me." The police were called. They escorted her out of the store. Outside, she continued her angry rant. When an officer told her she would be arrested if she did not leave, she replied: "If you try to arrest me I'll kick your [derriere]." She was arrested. True to her word, she kicked the arresting officer and smacked another in ...
Obamateurism of the Day

How bad was Barack Obama’s “good, solid B-plus”? Even the women of The View give Obama a good, solid F for his answer. However, in this clip, the bigger laugh is seeing Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters rip Oprah for her interviewing skills: Maybe Oprah should have asked what kind of tree Obama thinks himself to be. Obama made the amateurish mistake of letting down his guard while fielding a question from a sympathetic interviewer. There was nothing wrong with the question, and Oprah seemed a little surprised that Obama took the bait. It gave him an opportunity to demonstrate a little humility and remind everyone that American voters give him his grades. Instead, Obama ...

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is putting Capitol Hill on a "Code Red" alert Tuesday in an effort to stop the Senate's health care reform legislation. In a release from his office Monday, DeMint announced he will speak at what is being billed as an "emergency rally" coordinated by several groups, including the American Conservative Union and the Susan B. Anthony List. "The event has 'tea party' trimmings and plenty of muscle, including grass-roots support from six states," according to the GOP senator's Web site. Also on the bill for Tuesday afternoon's rally in Upper Senate Park are Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), radio talk show host Laura ...

The Republican National Committee on Monday announced it would begin airing advertisements and holding town halls in six states where senators are still on the fence about healthcare reform. The campaign is part of what RNC Chairman Michael Steele this afternoon called a "national 'listen to me' effort" -- an attempt to build off the energy visible at town hall rallies against healthcare this past summer, he said. "Those town halls were about something.... folks coming to Washington on Sept. 12 was about something," Steele told reporters on Monday, noting "there's something moving them to do that." "At every turn, [Democrats] look at others ...

President Obama didn’t exactly look thrilled as he stared at the Polycom speakerphone in front of him. “Well, I appreciate you guys calling in,” he began the meeting at the White House with Wall Street’s top brass on Monday. He was, of course, referring to the three conspicuously absent attendees who were being piped in by telephone: Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs; John J. Mack, chairman of Morgan Stanley; and Richard D. Parsons, chairman of Citigroup. Their excuse? “Inclement weather,” according to the White House. More precisely, fog delayed flights into Reagan National Airport. (In the “no good deed goes unpunished” ...
Congressmen Call on Justice Department to Appeal ACORN Ruling

Two congressmen called on the Justice Department Monday to appeal a recent decision in federal district court that found the government's move to cut off funding to ACORN was unconstitutional. In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, U.S. Reps. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, and Darrell Issa, R-Calif., described the Dec. 11 decision by Judge Nina Gershon as "preposterous." "The district court's decision is troubling in many respects, but most significantly, if allowed to stand, it would effectively excise from the Constitution Congress' express Spending Clause power to refuse to appropriate federal funds to an organization that has shown itself likely to misuse those ...

The letter, circulated by Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), was sent Thursday to Army Major Gen. Charles T. Cleveland, commander of Special Operation Command Central. Gen. Cleveland ordered the prosecution of the three SEALs. “In our opinion, prosecutorial discretion should have been exercised,” the 40 congressmen said. ...
