America’s Energy Policy Amounts To Treason

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by macaoidh

John Kerry is a liar and a tyrant, and Jim Inhofe does a nice job exposing him as such in this speech on the Senate floor debunking the global-warming hysteria Kerry backs in his nightmarish cap-and-trade bill now debuting in the Senate:

But that’s just a prologue to a discussion of the putrescence that is America’s [...]

45 Years Ago Today…

…aired perhaps the greatest political speech in American history.

That speech could be given today and remain just as valid as it was then.

An Andrew Klavan Reprise…

Posted on October 23rd, 2009 by macaoidh

The Andrew Klavan On The Culture videos courtesy of PJTV are a gold mine of conservative analysis, but they’re also damn entertaining. If you’re not familiar with the series, here’s a sample:

If This Doesn’t Bring You To Tears…

Posted on October 15th, 2009 by macaoidh

Now that Rush Limbaugh’s involvement in an ownership group attempting to purchase the St. Louis Rams has been terminated due to bad publicity surrounding “quotes” trumpeted by left-wing propagandists which were subsequently exposed as lies, I wonder – does it not allow us free rein to treat Limbaugh’s tormentors similarly?

Posted on October 9th, 2009 by macaoidh
