H/T Army of MomThe only fond thought I have about Hillary, is that at least once in her miserable existence that Arkansan bastard boor was on top of her probing away until he grunted. It's the only thing he ever did I approve of too. - Torabora @ AOSHQ

A few days ago, Hans Bader writing for Stop the ACLU reported on the hate crimes legislation Bill. This article is intended to be a further discussion of what is behind the language in the Bill. The question is, is double jeopardy a factor [...]

Moonbattery and Knowledge is Power
Roto-Reuters/Laszlo Balogh Just one more of a long line of futile do-gooder fantasies — This one emanating from the Leftist bureaucracy of Queensland, apparently. Like all such programs — such as the famous Barlinnie Special Unit — they tend to create a less stressful and pleasanter atmosphere for inmates and warders alike [...]
Back during Obama’s campaign (which, admittedly has never ended,) he made lots of noise about outsourcing. He didn’t like it. He though it should stop. He said he would nail companies with higher taxes who practice it. Which is a strange position for anyone on the left, since they are [...]
I know some folks in the blogosphere, particularly some secret progressives (who are completely intolerant towards other opinions, and are getting very weird, paranoid, and fascist themselves, as highlighted by this comment caught by LGF2.0 ,) like to denigrate the birth certificate movement, and, I’ll be honest, it [...]
LGF 2.0 is doing a 'Cap This.' I know you guys can do better...

Divine Miss M Inevitably, the Pop Poplawski shootings have resulted in statist magpies climbing atop their MSM soapboxes to denounce the Second Amendment. Tony Norman of the Pittsburgh Gazette let himself get carried away, offering a disturbing glimpse into the liberal mentality. After ranting for paragraphs about racism and gun nuts, Norman [...]
You would think Chairman Zero would feel at home in a country called Turkey. Yet even there, he flounders.
Here we see the Moonbat Messiah declaring to a Muslim nation that 82% Christian America does not consider itself a Christian nation:
Speak for yourself, B. Hussein.
Here he is flinching when a [...]
Most liberals were restrained in their immediate reaction to the terrorist atrocities of 9/11, awkwardly attempting to lump Christians in with Muslims, muttering incoherently about Western imperialism, or squawking absurdly, "Retaliate against who?" But not a moonbat named Beverly, who would have been ready to campaign for Obama on [...]
In October of 2007, I asked "What if there were no more rich to steal from?."Take a good hard look at that graphic. I mean really look at who supports America.

So, I was having a discussion over at Blogs For Victory regarding Obama the Divider, and was told that Bush was a disaster on the international stage, while Obama has been a success. Oh, really? Let’s check the score card for Obama
In case that’s a bit obscure, let me repeat the greeting using some Yiddish: May you have a kosher un freilachen pesach. There are of course two Hebrew words even in the Yiddish but the middle bit is plain German: und froelichen in High German. People sometimes grumble at me [...]

Here is the nanny state at its most ridiculous. Healthies — people that obsess about health — are on the march in Madison, Wisconsin trying to get the state government to ban people from feeding peanuts to squirrels on the state Capitol grounds. It’s [...]

How could anyone hate this country enough to want to see it represented by a punk?

This is what happens when people who hate America are put in charge of America:
Next up for repeal: the Constitution.
How could even a Democrat excuse cutting $millions from education while at the same time granting in-state tuition to illegal aliens who are committing a crime just by being here? Let's ask Colorado Governor Bill Ritter:
If an American citizen who isn't a legal resident of Colorado wants to go to' [...]
I can’t wait to hear how, after all the whining about how evil Bush was invading our privacy, the left will defend Obama on this. The ACLU will be absolutely unable to. They’ll stab a democrat in the back every time if it even appears they might care about national [...]

One of the great things about multiculturalism is that it offers us a taste of what it would be like to live in faraway parts of the world. For example, a restaurant owner in Tennessee is finding out what it would be like to live under a theocratic dictatorship [...]
Given that the Democrat Party has now assumed Soviet-style control of the auto industry, maybe party apparatchiks should familiarize themselves with the industry — by driving its products.
Oops, it seems that many on President Obama's team, including those seeking to save the American automobile industry, do not actually drive [...]
