Muslims Rail Against Baseball Team’s Jewish Heritage Night

April 19, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Apparently the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is not happy that the Oakland A’s have scheduled its first Jewish Heritage night. In fact, CAIR thinks that the mere fact that the A’s even have a night to recognize Jewish fans is somehow evidence that America is out to get Muslims.

It must be emotionally draining to be a Muslim. After all, they seem to spend every waking minute finding new things to get outraged over, their every breath seems dedicated to finding people giving them slight. And that’s not to mention the suicide bombings, death threats, and murderous riots! The delusion must be all consuming and tiring. I know it’s tiresome, anyway…

Follow Up: Frightened Mexican Business Owners Look To Immigrate to USA

April 17, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Yesterday I wrote of how stricter immigration laws in the US are scaring away Mexico’s low-skilled, uneducated masses from wanting to come to the USA. I mentioned it was a good thing that the dregs of Mexico are staying in Mexico. Today I celebrate another story that reports that some of Mexico’s business class and members of its upper middle classes are looking to come to the US because of fear of the drug wars raging south of the boarder. They are bringing their wealth and their businesses with them, too. This is also a good thing.

The Monitor of McAllen, Texas reports that Mexicans applying for the federal EB-5 investment program are on the rise as violence and crime rises in Mexico. The EB-5 program is a twenty-year-old federal program created to entice successful businessmen of other countries to immigrate to the US and bring their businesses with them…

Mexican’s Increased Suspicion of USA Over Immigration Laws

April 16, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

According to the Christian Science Monitor Mexicans might be becoming “reticent about taking that midnight train to Georgia” and emigrating to America whether illegally or not. All this because of new, more stringent immigration laws being enacted in the various states, Georgia being only the latest example.

The bill, which Gov. Nathan Deal (R) is expected to sign, is the latest in a wave of immigration reform legislation that is sweeping the US and souring Mexican opinion of America. Prior to the enactment of the Arizona’s controversial SB 1070 one year ago, 62 percent of Mexicans had a positive opinion of the US, compared with 44 percent after the law passed, according to the Pew Research Center.

The Monitor has several examples of Mexicans changing plans and deciding to stay in Mexico. To this all I can say is… it’s about time…

Outta Be A Law: New Hampshire Proposes Law to Allow US Flag Flying

April 14, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

In the United States of America it is illegal in some places to fly a U.S. flag. What, you ask? How is this possible, you cry? Well, it’s true… to an extent. Oh, there aren’t many city, county, state or federal statutes where this is codified in law, of course. But where this is happening all the time — and all over the country regardless of region — is in rules created by homeowner’s associations.

What happens is nosy, busybody condo or homeowner’s association chiefs write these idiotic rules where you can’t do this and you can’t do that on your own property. These sort of oppressive restrictions are common in homeowners association rules. One of the most common rules across the country in these fascist organizations is that you cannot fly a U.S. flag on your own property. As it happens, New Hampshire is trying to make this sort of rule illegal with HB 132…

Twittering Obama’s Budget Speech

April 13, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Today I sat gritting my teeth listening to Obama’s volumes of lies today as he delivered his newest campaign spee… uh, I mean his latest budget speech. And I have to say, I haven’t heard so many lies in one speech since Bill Clinton wagged his finger at us and told us he didn’t have sex what that woman, Monica.

… instead of a traditional piece here, I thought I’d give you all the Tweets that I doled out as the Liar in chief was blathering on…

  • Obama” “tax cuts make us borrow”??? Liar. SPENDING CUTS will STOP that.
  • No Mr. Prez. we got here because of YOUR PARTY and its spending. NOT by tax cuts.
  • Another lie from Obama: “Education is a national” issue. NO. It is a state issue. The Feds should be paying NOTHING to education.
  • Obama: Dear America give us more money. We’ll spend it better this time. No really. I SWEAR it. A little more? Come on, YOU don’t need it!
  • Obama now making fun of eliminating waste and abuse. In other words he does NOT want to eliminate waste and abuse….

Donald Trump Gearing Up to Award Obama Second Term

April 12, 2011 by 2 Comments

-By Warner Todd Huston

Donald Trump said today that he will “probably” run as an independent if he cannot win the GOP nomination for president. I was amused by Trump until that very moment. He was a fun diversion of serious politics for a while. Now it seems assured that his goal is to get Obama reelected, not to win the White House himself.

Trump told the Wall Street Journal that he’ll likely make an independent run at the White House because he hates “what’s happening to the country.”

… So, this leaves us with one question: why? What else but to scuttle any Republican candidate to allow Obama, the very man Trump claims is destroying the country, to waltz right back into the White House at the head of a new wave of Democrat power…

Senate Consensus: It Should Have No Power

April 6, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

For decades (and not just since Obama became president, either) the office of the president has slowly been taking on more and more power unto itself. By a constant flurry of Executive Orders (the wide use of which starting chiefly during FDR’s term) to making war without much bothering with Congress, presidents have been grabbing power from our legislative branch with both fists. The Senate had a chance today to reassert its own power but sadly it has allowed that opportunity to pass unrealized.

Senator Rand Paul (R, KY) proposed an amendment to a small business bill that would reaffirm the constitutional authority of Congress to declare war. This amendment would have taken away some measure of assumed presidential power to return that power to Congress…

Sadly, Paul couldn’t even get his own party to join his quest to right the ship and the amendment failed 9-10.

Bobby Unser: Race Car Driver, Celebrity… Criminal?

March 23, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Bobby Unser is famous for having won the Indy 500 three times and only one of two drivers that won that great race in three separate decades (’68, ’75, ’81).

Unser has a long list of achievements in motor sports starting back in the early 1960s. But there is one achievement, dubious though it may be, that the federal government is happiest he achieved. He is officially a federal criminal and the U.S. Forest Service couldn’t be happier.

Criminal? Oh, you bet. At least according to our despotic federal government he sure is….

Nevada Nanny State Nonsense: Banning Your Candles and Air Fresheners

March 19, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Nevada has a nose for nonsense. This time the stink wafting from the Silver State is not from the back allies of its casinos but from its state house where politicians are sticking their noses in Nevada’s candles and air fresheners. Wallowing in true nanny state stupidity Democrats are considering a bill to ban candles and air fresheners because a tiny fraction of the population is allergic to the scents in them.

Las Vegas Democratic Assemblyman Paul Aizley on Monday presented AB234, which sets restrictions on pesticides, fragrances and candles to accommodate people with chemical sensitivities. Proponents said air fresheners give them migraines or asthma attacks and prevent them from going to the movies or to restaurants. A cocktail waitress at a casino said inhaling the fragrances piped through the ventilation system felt like a concrete slab on her chest.

Someone should consider a bill to ban nosy, buttinski Democrats instead…

Yeah It’s a Crap Song, But Why That Hatin’ On This Poor Kid?

March 18, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Rebecca Black has been, like, totally taken aback by the, like, amazing fame her little YouTube song has brought her… but she is bummed by all the h8ters, too. She shouldn’t be too surprised that people hate her song though. It really is crap of the lowest… or is it highest… order. But, I have to agree with the poor kid. The vitriol she’s faced is simply unfair and unnecessary.

It is times like this that I h8te the Internet, myself.

Now, I won’t burden you with the song here on RightPundits.com. Here is a YouTube link to the song if you dare to click on it. This pop tune will drain every ounce of intelligence from your brain and it is three and a half minutes that will seem more like an hour.

This dreck is titled “Friday,” and apparently our little Miss Black likes… er… Friday…. or something. She also likes “parties, parties, parties,” and “fun, fun, fun” with her “Friday, Friday, Friday.” UGH! I feel like I am getting a headache just typing out these fetid lyrics….

House Votes to Defund NPR

March 17, 2011 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Wednesday morning the GOP led House of Representatives voted to end federal funding for National Public Radio. Saying it made good fiscal sense it is also safe to say that the GOP was catering to its base, a group that has been against funding for NPR for some time.

The bill passed in a 228-192 vote mostly along party lines and will prohibit local NPR stations from using federal funds as well as cut all current funding. This eliminates almost $5 million in federal funding that NPR receives. The bill would not prevent the use of federal funds for producing programs by private firms and individuals…

HuffPo’s Politics Daily Called Muslim Democrat Congressman a Republican

March 16, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

She was touted on Politics Daily as the “Capitol Hill Bureau Chief,” but Patricia Murphy doesn’t seem to know to which party the first Muslim member of Congress belongs. Amusingly enough, Politics Daily is one of those websites that Huffington Post has absorbed as a result of AOL’s $15 million buyout of the left-wing screeder.

Murphy starts off her coverage of Peter King’s hearings on radical Islam last week by saying that Rep. Keith Ellison is a Republican from Minnesota. This, of course, is wrong, wrong, wrong. Ellison is most decidedly a Democrat from Minneapolis, not a Republican…

Grumpy Bloggers Will Live Forever!

March 14, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

And now a word from one of our “scientists” at the University of California…

You happy goofballs die young. That’s right, you heard me. A new study has determined that I will live forever because I am a grump and you smiling fools will die young. Take THAT! And get off my lawn while you are at it.

Much as I hate these pseudo scientific, time-wasting “studies” — all of them being a waste of my tax money at so-called universities that neither deserve the title nor the power — but this one suits my disposition, so I’m going to say that it must be true!

UPI is reporting that a study conducted under the auspices of some pointy-headed, tweed jacket-wearing, communist at the University of California, Riverside has shown that people with a cheery disposition die younger than us realistic, more sensible folks….

2012 GOP Hopefuls: Herman Cain

March 13, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

For most Americans the question isn’t whether or not Herman Cain would make a good president but is, rather, “who the heck is Herman Cain?” Well, let this serve as your introduction to the businessman, turned radio talk-show host, turned 2012 GOP hopeful.

Cain has been a Tea Party mainstay since the early days of the movement and can give a heck of a rally speech. He’s able to easily invoke good business sense, low taxes, Tea Party principles, and highly patriotic themes in speeches that always brings conservatives to their feet in applause. But outside the Tea Party circuit he’s not as well known.

Cain is a little beter known in Atlanta, Georgia, at least by 300,000 listeners of WSB radio where he hosted a radio show for several years (until Feb. of 2011). From this platform Cain got involved as a Tea Party speaker.

His earlier life, though, is what he points to as his proving grounds making him qualified for being president…

Clinton Blasts Obama’s Foot Dragging on Oil Drilling Permits

March 12, 2011 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

Interestingly at the end of last week during the IHS CERAWeek conference held in Houston, Texas, former President Bill Clinton said that Obama’s constant delays on issuing offshore oil drilling permits was “ridiculous.” With this one might be able to claim that Bill Clinton is a “drill, baby, drill” booster, just like Sarah Palin!

Politico is reporting that Bill Clinton agreed with fellow speaker former President George W. Bush on many of his points concerning the oil and gas industry and agreed that the hurdles that Obama’s government have been thrown up before them are ill advised.

“Bush said all the things you’d expect him to say” on oil and gas issues, said Jim Noe, senior vice president at Hercules Offshore and executive director of the pro-drilling Shallow Water Energy Security Coalition. But Clinton added, “You’d be surprised to know that I agree with all that,” according to Noe and others in the room…

Clinton said there are “ridiculous delays in permitting when our economy doesn’t need it,” according to Noe and others.

Obama Doubles Down on Socialist Appointee

March 11, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Democratic leadership has been reported to have “cooled” on support of Dr. Donald Berwick, Obama’s appointee to run Medicare and Medicaid. The Senate has decided not to take up Berwick’s appointment because of Berwick’s controversial, socialist ideology. But Barack Obama has doubled down on his support of the Euro-loving Doc and given Berwick another recess appointment despite his far left, out of touch policy ideas.

Berwick is now well known for saying that the U.S. “must redistribute the wealth” in its administration of government healthcare systems. His sentiment is far, far outside the mainstream of American opinion. Statements such as this have caused even Democrats in the Senate to shy from his appointment. But not Obama…

New Book Drags Abe Lincoln’s Race Ideas Back Up

March 6, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

No president’s views of race relations have elicited more spirited conversation than Abe Lincoln’s and his complex views are again the subject of conjecture. A new book about Lincoln’s ideas on sending America’s negro population to another country, a policy called “colonization,” has been penned by a researcher at George Mason University showing that Lincoln pursued the policy long after other researchers said he had dropped the idea.

The argument has raged for decades over just what our 16th president thought about black people. Did he hate them or love them, did he respect them or dismiss them, did he think they were equals to whites or inferior? Did he care if they were enslaved or was he an ardent abolitionist? The argument has raged and with this book rages on still…
