I needed a good laugh tonight, so it was good to see Frank J. at IMAO performing the service of dispelling rumors about Barack Obama (H/T Jenn Sierra). Here are the first few to whet your appetite:RUMOR: Obama is a Muslim. STATUS: False Obama is not currently a Muslim. He's a Christian of some sort in the "hate Whitey" sect. RUMOR: Obama is an enlightened space alien sent to save humanity. STATUS: False All evidence points towards Obama being a below average man who his wife stopped asking to do chores around the house because he was always getting his head stuck in the mop bucket. RUMOR: Obama tried to bomb the Pentagon. STATUS: False That was his friend. Satire. I needed that. … [Read more...]
Algore’s Climate Fearmongering Not Catching on with Americans
Following up on Bill Ritter's Earth Day "climate change" regulations, I ran across this recent Gallup survey report on Americans' environmental concerns (H/T Bill Smith). As I noted before, it seems like an appropriate way to commemorate Earth Day by celebrating the remarkable progress made in cleaning our air and water in the last 35 years. Public opinion seems to evidence that trend. According to the Gallup poll, Americans' greatest environmental concern consistently has been water pollution, yet even so the percentage of Americans "worried a great deal" about the problem has declined from 72 percent in 2000 to 53 percent in 2008. After multi-millions spent to scare people into joining High Priest Algore's Church of … [Read more...]
Blogger Exposes CNN Agenda Journalism on Penn State Campus
On the eve of the most crucialest of all crucial votes in this media-obsessed rollercoaster of a Democrat presidential showdown - also known as the Pennsylvania primary - I wanted to turn attention to a major example of in-your-face media bias provided in coverage of the event. Warner Todd Huston, someone I met at Samsphere Chicago, exposed the verbally abusive bias of CNN's Rick Sanchez on the Penn State University campus:CNN contacted students in several political clubs at Penn State to arrange for the interview and two weeks ago their cameras and crews arrived at the university to film the segment with the on-air personality. 21-year-old journalism student Chelsea Brown, though, was less than impressed by Sanchez’ bellicose … [Read more...]
Unexplored Evidence Rebuts Big Blue Lie Machine Anti-Schaffer Campaign
Over at Schaffer v Udall, I have brought to light evidence that challenges the Big Blue Lie Machine's assumptions and characterizations of Bob Schaffer's involvement with the Northern Marianas Islands issue, which has gotten press coverage in the Denver Post recently. It's a long post, but hope if you have an interest in this issue that you will check it out. … [Read more...]
New Poll Shows McCain Upsetting Left’s Plans to Turn Colorado Blue
Via Politico's Jonathan Martin and Hot Air's Ed Morrissey, a new poll shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain with a commanding, double-digit lead here in Colorado versus either Democrat contender - Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton: McCain 51, Obama 39 McCain 52, Clinton 40 Something is happening on the way to the Left's plan to turn Colorado blue: Their leaders are generating more disdain than those who have sold out conservatives on the Republican side. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. While it takes longer for things happening at the state level to reach the average voter, one can almost imagine some of the reaction against Obama and Clinton trickling down to their inept liberal buddies - like Gov. Bill Ritter … [Read more...]
Union-Only Sign in Denver Raises Legal Questions, Political Stakes
Face The State features a story today about a Denver construction site that has posted a sign restricting work to union membership:A sign at a downtown Denver construction site warns, "If you are not currently an active member of a building trades local union, you are NOT allowed to work on this site." Picture by Steve Brown - Posted at Face The State This story prompts a reaction from two different angles. First, from the legal technical policy wonk side.... Under existing federal law that dates back to the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, private sector "closed shops" are illegal. Simply put, a "closed shop" requires workers to be union members when they're hired. That seems to be the message of the sign, which would make it patently … [Read more...]
Typically White Merchandise
If you're like me, you may identify closely with the famous Barack Obama phrase: "typical white person." But I was never moved by the entrepreneurial spirit like a couple friends of mine who created the Typically White website, where you can go to order "Typically White" shirts and bags. Who knows? You might find a great present to one of your conservative - or any typically white - friend or family member. … [Read more...]
Michael Yon’s Words Deserve Attention
Mr. Bob points the way to a stellar Wall Street Journal column penned by Michael Yon, who has earned the utmost credibility in Iraq by virtue of spending more time following the action in person than probably any other independent observer. So when he writes:I have seen this war – and our part in it – at its brutal worst. And I say the transformation over the last 14 months is little short of miraculous. The change goes far beyond the statistical decline in casualties or incidents of violence. A young Iraqi translator, wounded in battle and fearing death, asked an American commander to bury his heart in America. Iraqi special forces units took to the streets to track down terrorists who killed American soldiers. The U.S. military is … [Read more...]
A Little Dose of Disinfectant to Treat New Big Blue Lie Machine Slime
Over at Schaffer v Udall yesterday, I took on the Left's attempt to smear Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer with broad strokes of the "Jack Abramoff" brush, despite no evidence of any direct connection whatsoever. Meanwhile, the Colorado Index continues to expose the lack of credibility from the Mark Udall surrogate whose comments at SvU prompted a full response. While the lemmings on the Left salivate and gloat that their Big Blue Lie Machine slime job will bring down Bob Schaffer and clear the way for avowed liberal Mark Udall to win, Mike Saccone at the Grand Junction Sentinel's Political Notebook offers a more (mentally) balanced assessment:In the short-term, it could embolden Schaffer’s supporters, much like a New … [Read more...]
Hats Off to Night Twister: Time for Democrats in Congress to Cut & Run
A Colorado blogger with whom I have only recently become familiar - Randy Ketner, aka the Night Twister - has put together a post you must read. He hit the nail on the head with ironic precision, comparing the Congressional Democrats' complaints about the lack of political progress in Iraq with their own lack of progress in meeting legislative benchmarks. You need to read the whole thing, but here's a clip to whet your appetite:Well, there you have it. A fair comparison of the legislative progress by the Iraqi and our own Legislatures. Here’s the scorecard: U.S. Congress: 0 completed, 1 partially completed, 6 not completed. Iraqi Government: 4 completed, 2 partially completed, 1 not completed. It should be noted that for the … [Read more...]
