Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Invited to Speak at Columbia University: No Conservatives Allowed 2007-09-21 19:05:00 Liberals seem to think that it benefits their academic environment by allowing dictators and tyrants to speak at their Universities. Yet, while they proclaim themselves as champions of free speech, they so quickly forget how intolerant they are when that speech is Conservative. Just this year, the MinuteMan Project (an organization that is anti illegal immigration) were stormed by protestors before they even had a chance to speak. They were even physically threatened and had to leave. Lee Bollinger refused to reprimand any of the students. Had it been a liberal speaker on stage, someone surely would have pulled out the taser.In all seriousness, it was an absolute embarrassment that Colombia University breached its duty to protect Conservative guests who speak at its University. It is also relevant that the MinuteMan Project is on the same ideological side as 80%+ of Americans. Nevertheless, these types of violent protests are common all over the Country.People like Ann Coulter, ...

Australian Liberals Pay $25,000 to Greet Al Gore: The Man Has Objectively Destroyed All Reason 2007-09-20 15:22:00 Can someone please explain to me the fascination with Al Gore? The man has no credentials in the scientific field, he almost failed all of his classes while in school, and the majority of the statements he has made about Global Warming/ Climate Change has been refuted by reputable scientists.Moreover, every week we find new evidence demonstrating why the climate change hysteria is nothing to worry about. Not only is it nothing new to the Planet, humans are not contributing to the single degree increase in temperature over the last 100 years. Looking at the data, it is absurd to think humans can stop climate change by living in straw huts. But, Al Gore suggests we all do just that. This is not a joke – read his book that accompanied the, “Live Earth Tour.”Then to add to this nonsense, Al Gore claims to believe that the World is going to end within the next fifty years unless we all sacrifice and cut our carbon emissions. So instead of leading by example, Al Gore emits more C ...

John Murtha Called Innocent Marines "Cold Blooded Murderers"; Will Not Apologize 2007-09-20 08:55:00 Via World Net Daily: A young activist confronted Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., near a Capitol Hill elevator yesterday, pressing the anti-war congressman on whether he would apologize for accusing U.S. Marines of murdering innocent civilians in a November 2005 incident at Haditha, Iraq.With the case continuing to unravel, Jason Mattera of the Young America's Foundation was captured on tape questioning Murtha, reports HotAir.com .Now that charges have been dropped against two of the four Marines accused of murder, Mattera asked, "would you like to issue an apology for saying they killed innocent civilians in cold blood?"Below Is John Murtha accusing the Haditha Marines of committing murder in cold blood. . . .Related Posts:Democrat Pork MachineDon't Tell Democrats, The American Military Is Killing Terrorists ...

A 70-Year-Old Great-Grandmother was Arrested for Allegedly Not Watering Her Lawn: Thank You Big Government 2007-09-19 13:23:00 Something is clearly in the water supply. Not only do liberals want to ban fast food, but now they are arresting 70-year-old great-grandmothers for having brown lawns. Yes, Betty Perry was cited by Officer James Flygare of the police's Neighborhood Preservation Unit for failing to water her lawn.“Perry refused to give her name to the officer and, when Flygare tried to stop her from going back inside her house, she reportedly tripped and injured her nose.” Are we living in the Soviet Union? What kind of nonsense is this? Why are tax dollars going toward a “Neighborhood Preservation Unit?” Again, these bureaucratic nightmares are getting out of control.There was a really simple solution to this situation. If Betty Perry’s neighbors wanted her brown lawn green, they should have knocked on her door and offered to water her lawn for a small fee or for free. If she refused, that’s too bad; it is her property. If elitist liberals want to argue that it lowers the property ...

NEWSFLASH: Barry Manilow Is A Candy Ass. . . . 2007-09-19 09:26:00 Barry Manilow has canceled his appearance on “The View” because the show refused to bow to his demands that its only conservative, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, not be on the show.Apparently Mr. Manilow finds Hasselbeck's opinions "dangerous." I'm sorry but what a spineless candy ass. He's afraid of Elizabeth Hasselbeck? Please. Was he supposed to talk politics on this show? NO. He was supposed to perform one of his candy ass songs to the same 50 people that go to all his shows.Regardless of your political orientation you must agree that this is pathetic. The attractive Hasselbeck can hardly be viewed as "dangerous" when sitting next to loony Whoopie Goldberg and the 3rd-rate Joy Behar (how is this woman famous?).I have to say I'm actually surprised by this. While liberals usually avoid debate with conservatives (because they have no facts) this wasn't even a debate, this was a performance he was supposed to do. I guess the show doesn't go on for Barry Manilow.Now liberals are always ...

Liberals Push to Ban Fast Food in South Los Angeles, California: Thank You Big Government 2007-09-18 21:14:00 We predicted this happening better than Nostradamus ever could. As we have said hundreds of times over the last few months, big government liberals would attempt to ban fast food. Well, it appears that will happen in California. While many of you “healthy eaters” may feel indifferent about this decision, just wait when the government bans something you actually enjoy. Then it will be too late.“Amid worries of an obesity epidemic and its related illnesses, including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease, Los Angeles officials, among others around the country, are proposing to limit new fast-food restaurants -- a tactic that could be called health zoning.” The government is the only thing being overfed in this case. There is no better evidence that the government is stealing your money than when its officials have time to zone for fatty foods to protect you from yourself.Just read this insane quote from a brilliant liberal communist:"The people don't want them, b ...

"When The Chips Are Down You Cannot Trust John Kerry" 2007-09-18 17:46:00 The video below sums it up. What else can be said. This is what used to happen when union members would question their leaders (or what happens when people question the Clintons). Now while John Kerry seems to want to answer the question, he does nothing while these campus police arrest and taser a college student. John Kerry ran for president on his record in Vietnam and that he was a war hero that could handle the duress of the war on terror. What a crock. This man has no backbone.This episode reveals what the Swift Boat Veterans were telling us all along. That John Forbes Kerry is unfit for command. The fact that he couldn't stand up for this innocent college student should make this patently obvious. Regardless, something doesn't seem right here.Imagine if an Al Qaeda terrorist (who was actually threatening lives) was attacked in the same manner. We'd hear all over the news how the terrorists "rights" were being violated etc etc etc. . .Related EditorialsAl Gore and John Kerry R ...

"Enemy Media" Contorts, Distorts And Lies About Alan Greenspan. . . 2007-09-18 11:41:00 Watching the “Enemy Media” completely distort (Chris Mathews seemed to be having on air orgasms) what Alan Greenspan said regarding the economy, The Bush Administration, the War and just about everything else is maddening. I’m still not sure if they are just so uninformed that they are not aware of how dumb they sound to informed audiences (which sadly given my experience is like 10 of us) or if they are actively inventing facts. My gut tells me it’s a little both.In his interview with the WSJ, Greenspan stated that “The Clinton administration was a pretty centrist party. … But they’re not governing again. The next administration may have the Clinton administration name but the Democratic Party … has moved … very significantly in the wrong direction.” Greenspan is referring to the modern Democrat Party’s war on prosperity and free trade.On 60 Minutes, Greenspan referred to Hillary Clinton as “unquestionably capable” and “very smart.” To this statement they ...

Judge Martin Jenkins Temporarily Saves the World: Dismisses Dangerous Global Warming Lawsuit 2007-09-17 21:37:00 With all the insanity we have in our Court system, thankfully we have a few sane Judges to protect us from the extortionists. Evidently, even in San Francisco we can find a qualified Judiciary. Just recently, Federal District Court Judge Martin Jenkins temporarily saved the world by dismissing a lawsuit brought by the State of California (Let’s wait for the Appeal).Who were they suing? They sought to hold the world's six largest automakers accountable for their contribution to global warming. “California blamed the auto industry for millions of dollars it expects to spend on repairing damage from global-warming induced floods and other natural disasters.” This is getting really scary.While the American people have become complacent with the numerous lawsuits around the United States, suits for causing global warming are the most dangerous forms of extortion. They are the most dangerous because anyone at any time is liable. There is no way to prove one way or another what wa ...

When It Comes to Confronting "Clinton, Inc." Rudy Guiliani Is Without Peer 2007-09-17 11:50:00 Last week, any reasonable person came out blasting MoveOn.org for their New York Times ad calling into question the integrity of General Patraeus. The Times revealed themselves to be the partisan hacks they are when the AP reported that the ad was placed at a discounted rate. With leading democrats mum on the issue, almost supporting it, Republicans began to respond. The fuhrer should have reached a fevered pitch when Madame Mao, I mean Hillary Clinton, essentially called the General a liar.Leading Republicans complained and showed some outrage, which was more then I could have expected from this spineless group. But Rudy Giuliani actually did something about it. Giuliani demanded that the Times give him the same rate to place an ad that defended the General and more importantly attacked Hillary. Giuliani also bullied the paper in to publishing the ad at a time of his choosing - in this case the day after the President addressed the nation on Iraq.The Mayor did not stop there as he rel ...

Jackie Mason Vlog 55 "Democrats Have Gone Far Beyond Treason" (Open Thread) 2007-09-16 21:58:00 Jackie Mason seems to take the same position as many other Americans: Trashing General Petraeus before he spoke before Congress, and calling him a liar, was unacceptable.Moreover, not denouncing the Moveon.org ad that called General Petraeus, 'General Betray US,' demonstrated why not a single Democrat running for office deserves to be elected. In fact, there should be a Constitutional Amendment that if you are not intelligent enough to realize that denouncing Moveon.org and their Ad is a "no brainer," you cannot be President of the United States.Consider this an Open Thread.UPDATE: Here is his Vlog 56. He calls Hillary Clinton a lying Yenta!!Related EditorialsJohn Edwards' Wife Denounces Moveon.org and Their Advertisement: John Edwards is a Silent CowardDemocrats Cannot Afford For Patraeus To SucceedHillary Clinton: Our Next President of the United States ...

Emmy Awards are Going Green: Right After They Leave Their Private Jets and Limousines 2007-09-16 16:41:00 We can all thank Al Gore for legitimizing the carbon credit scam. Now Rupert Murdoch has decided to make the Emmy Awards Green. It is amazing that the people on the Left who hate Rupert Murdoch do not address that he is a charlatan. They are totally brainwashed, and it is really sad.Notably, people like Al Gore, Murdoch, and high-end investment bankers, invest in carbon credit scams, and make billions off the guilt of others. Moreover, they do not even have to prove that they are having any discernible effect on the climate. They are not having any effect in case you were wondering. It is clearly a religious cult, plain and simple.However, in order to continue this scam, they must keep the Green public relations campaign going. So long as they pretend to care about the environment, the Left will give them a pass on the carbon credit issue. The Emmy Awards, and other events like it, fall right into that category.Some of the Green highlights of the Emmy Awards are as follows:1) T ...

Washington, D.C. Iraq War Protest: The Circus is Coming to Town, Again 2007-09-16 14:33:00 The Circus is coming to town, again. This time they are protesting the War in Iraq in Washington, D.C.While there are legitimate concerns about the War in Iraq, why does the kook fringe Left always have to resort to this type of nonsense? (See Video)I also have a few questions for the lunatic liberal base:1) Why is it that a liberal protest is not discernible from a typical hippie jam-fest? Shouldn't a protest demonstrate something other than a time for fun, games, music, and a time to get high?2) These protests have their own form of attention deficit disorder. Why does every liberal protest have to include random Leftist grievances from communists, environmentalists, feminists, and people who want to protect prostitutes (see video).3) Are you even trying to change public opinion? Protests like these hurt your cause because you people push away those who may potentially agree with you.4) When are any of you going to learn how to play the bongo? You liberals bring bongos to ever ...

John Edwards' Wife Denounces Moveon.org and Their Advertisement: John Edwards is a Silent Coward 2007-09-15 19:12:00 UPDATE: MoveOn.org changed its Advertisement from 'betray us' to 'betrayal of trust;' this time referring to George Bush instead of General Petraeus. It appears that by attacking Petraeus, they have severely overplayed their hand. Now they will attempt to divert attention to George Bush, who is a much easier target for the people with Bush Derangement Syndrome ("BDS"). This will not work, however. Once you throw the skunk into the American People's homes, you can't get the stink out.Start of original editorial.In typical John Edwards fashion, Edwards is having his wife fight his battles for him. This has allowed him to take both sides on every issue because he can stay silent while his wife does the dirty work for him. He pulled this same nonsense before on the issue of gay marriage; his wife supports it, while he does not. This time, however, Elizabeth Edwards denounced Moveon.org and their shameful attack on General Petraeus. John Edwards is a pathetic excuse for a lea ...
