There are a few very interesting points below headlines today claiming California residents strongly support extending the state’s once temporary tax increases via special election. Survey finds Californians back tax extensions Californians would overwhelmingly back extending temporary tax increases to

The conventional wisdom is, new media is a powerful insurrectionist-like force. The Left proved to be quite capable of employing it to damage Bush, protest the war and bring Obama to power. Now, what with the union’s problems in Wisconsin

I’ve been critical of Glenn Beck in the past. Several commenters at my personal blog who are fans of his can attest to that. But what I have never advocated is trying to silence him. so, it’s interesting that in

Talk about change. Last year, over 1,000 American high schools participated in a contest to have Obama deliver their commencement address. The White House has now extended this year’s application deadline, given that only 68 schools seem to have elected

Translating Democrat waterboy, Greg Sargent at the Washington Post, the Wisconsin Democrats are flailing. Now, desperate to try and help their image and too afraid of the union bosses to go back to work, they’ve devised a strategy to try

This has to qualify as one of Media Matters’ longer, more bizarre and unfounded attacks against an individual – physician and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. They must be chasing Wahhabist petro dollars. Their

What an irresponsible and repulsive statement in the face of the current controversies over unions in America. Not only that, it’s entirely unfounded. “I look back in history, in some of the worst governments that we had, you know the

Like a cowardly cockroach scrambling out of the light, presumably Leftist elementary school teacher Jack Senzig of Racine, Wisconsin’s Gifford Elementary School evidently deleted his political hate blog now that it’s been exposed. His school blog, which directed others to

In an item on dueling ad buys from Planned Parenthood and the Susan B Anthony List (SBA) on defunding Planned Parenthood, the Washington Post’s Felicia Sonmez presents Live Action’s work as though it were comprised of only one heavily edited

Liberal Oscar-winner (“An Inconvenient Truth”) Davis Guggenheim’s latest, “Waiting For Superman,” didn’t score an Oscar nomination. The cover story being floated is that it may contain inaccuracies. However, a look at several of the documentaries that were nominated demonstrates what

If one Googles the name Rodney Stanhope via Google News, the only stories you’ll find in the mainstream media revolve around comments the Tea Partier made at a rally today. Yet, if you visit Big Government, you’ll find that he

The Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) caught the eye of the Landmark Legal Foundation long before they gained national prominence due to their pro-union position around the tense debate currently playing out in Wisconsin. But not only have they recently

Were David Weigel in Dealy Plaza on November 22, 1963, no doubt he would have been pointing at the grassy knoll. Given that a prank call between a pseudo-journalist and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker destroys the Leftist myth that Walker

Rusty and company at the Jawa Report have been one of the webs best anti-jihadist blogs for years. The bloggers have always blogged anonymously for reasons both professional and personal – including threats from jihadists. An attorney that has already

If one looks at the politics of pseudo-conservatives Andrew Sullivan and Conor Friederdorf at the Daily Dish, along with their link patterns, they may be more Trotskyites than conservatives. Propped up by a Left-leaning magazine and approvingly linking to the
