Big Journalism : 'Tolerant' Huffington Post Publishes Bigoted Attack on Catholics

Thu, 1 Mar 2012 13:23:46 +0000

First they came for the Catholics, but I said nothing, because I'm liberal and tolerant and want people to think that I'm cool.

Big Government : Clueless Socialists Protest MacIver Institute

They sound like they would also protest to ban the suffraging of women.

Big Government : What Do Democrats Have Against Guns and Gun Rights?

Thu, 1 Mar 2012 03:16:32 +0000

Even when it comes to the "dangerous automatic weapons", gun control has no effect. Since required registration of automatic weapons (in the 1930s I believe but possibly earlier), there have been 4, yes four, gun crimes committed with registered automatic weapons. Three of those were rogue police officers. Based on that data, we should probably make a law against police officers owning automatic weapons.

Big Government : Some Leftists Were For the Free Market Before They Were Against It

Government likes to claim it will protect us from giant "monopolies" never noting that it is (and always has been) through sweetheart government deals that the so called monopolies got so big in the first place. And let's consider the "Big Three" automakers: three pretty independent auto manufacturers, united under one international labor union. Where is the federal government deciding that a labor union has gotten too big?

Big Government : Pew Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Support Keystone Pipeline

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:38:55 +0000

I forgot anti-hydroelectric: the most carbon-free source of energy we know, but shh, don't tell a liberal, you'll make them angry and that's very mean.

Big Government : Pew Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Support Keystone Pipeline

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 19:27:34 +0000

Democrats like to claim the Republican Party is the "anti-science" party. That's only because they believe the crap they spew about Keystone XL being dangerous. Wonder how many "good smart liberals" in New York and LA know about the completely safe fuel lines running under their very feet. That doesn't even mention the number of liberals who are antivaccination, anti-genetic modification of food (but ironically pro-genetic modification of human stem cells), antinuclear, antidevelopment, anti-space-exploration, radically mistaken about "animal rights" and climate change, and generally antiscience-they-don't-agree-with. Makes those few "anti-evolution nuts" in the Republican Party look pretty insignificant.

Big Peace : Obama Gives Diplomat Job to Fundraiser, Disaster Ensues

Obama caught in a glaring broken promise? No, never.

Big Government : Occupy and 'Planned Civil Disobedience'

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:32:03 +0000

How leftist protests work: 1) Throw brick at police 2) Turn on camera 3) Film police subduing and arresting you 4) Claim police brutality. Normally, I would add ??? and PROFIT, but Occupy believes profit to be evil or something.

Big Government : Santorum Supported Federal Role in Evolution Debate, Compared Belief in Darwinism to Nazism

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:34:04 +0000

Oh Eileen. I knew you would respond to anything dealing with the so called "NWO money". Take off the tin foil cap, and try to be reasonable for a second. Rick Santorum is a good man and a good conservative, like ALL the other candidates right now. But his record (No Child Left Behind, TARP, his horrific Senate defeat etc.) can cause doubts in the minds of people who look into it. I agree with most of his past statements regarding life and God, but he phrased them so badly that if he is the nominee all the media will do is play him ranting. Rick Santorum is a great conservative but he is unable to articulate it the way Reagan did. That is why he would be a terrible nominee.

Big Government : Santorum Supported Federal Role in Evolution Debate, Compared Belief in Darwinism to Nazism

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:26:06 +0000

This is called vetting. I know Rick Santorum is "more conservative" and "doesn't accent NWO money", but this is why he is unelectable. We are running against a President whose dismal economic record is only surpassed by his unpopular accomplishments. If we focus on the economy, we will beat him in a landslide. Rick Santorum has managed to single-handedly turn the debate off of the economy. What is his economic plan? Is it better than Mitt's, Newt's, Paul's? We cannot win with any candidate who so consistently veers off the straight and narrow path of economic conservatism.

Big Government : Surprise! Higher Tax Rates Yield Lower Revenue

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:00:58 +0000

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayaf... Bush tax cuts took effect in 2001 and 2003. Revenues were down (because of a recession) in those years. By 2005, they had surpassed 2000 levels. Tax cuts do not decrease revenue if the economy grows.

Big Journalism : Obama Refuses to Answer Media On Own HHS Rule

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:09:35 +0000

Quick question: In Obama's HHS, there is a right to contraception, which clearly means the government can forces others to provide it, free of charge. Can we apply the same lines of reasoning to our enumerated rights in the Constitution? I'm too poor to start a newspaper. I want the government to pay for it for free. I'm too poor to buy a gun. I want the government to pay for it for free. I'm too poor to prevent the forced quartering of troops in my home . . .well it doesn't really work there. And so on and so forth.

Big Government : Sens. Ayotte and Shaheen: A Contrast in Honesty and Leadership on Religious Liberty

Thu, 9 Feb 2012 20:26:14 +0000

It's ok. We have a President who is giving more time to Iran to comply on "sanctions" than he is to the Catholic Church to comply on "laws".

Big Journalism : This is Not Just a "Culture War," It's An Attack on The First Amendment

Wed, 8 Feb 2012 15:28:07 +0000

Choice is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. Liberals love to tell us how they're pro-choice, and we're not pro-life, we're "anti-choice". Until now, Catholic charities were free to choose not to provide services which conflict with their beliefs. They weren't trying to force their beliefs on anyone else. If a woman wants access to contraception, she is free to choose to go somewhere other than a Catholic charity. But the so-called pro-choice people are nothing but. Progressives attacked the films Knocked Up and Juno because the characters choose not to get an abortion. Progressives lambasted Susan G. Komen because they choose not to actively support Planned Parenthood. To progressives, freedom of choice only applies when you make the "correct" choice.

Big Peace : Congress Passes Bill Opening U.S. Skies To Drones

Wed, 8 Feb 2012 15:09:38 +0000

One example I do know is that tornado and hurricane researchers (not the guys on TV, the real scientists) want to use them. Basically it's a lot easier, safer, and more sane to fly a drone into a thunderstorm than have a human pilot do.

Big Government : Did Top Liberal Arts College Falsify SAT Data to Legitimize Racial Preferences?

Everyone is equal. Some people are just more equal than others.

Big Journalism : New York Times Plays Games with Obama's Tax Rate

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:41:26 +0000

Liberals don't want to give to charity. Government is their charity and they still find ways to pay less than their "fair share". http://biggovernment.com/tag/john-edwards/

Big Journalism : Koch Derangement Syndrome: The New York Times's Stalinesque Attacks On The Koch Brothers

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:52:46 +0000

From the beginning I wondered why Koch was singled out over many potential Republican donors. It didn't take too much lurking in the comments at Daily Kos to see why. Apparently leftists also believe that anyone with a relatively E. European sounding last name is Jewish. And when they started thinking that not only are the Kochs rich and Republican, but also (gasp!) Jewish, the giant antisemitic beast we now see on display in Occupy was released on some unsuspecting businessmen.

Big Government : Obama Using Controversial 'Recess Appointment' to Raise Campaign Cash

Thu, 5 Jan 2012 13:53:17 +0000

This is exactly the reason why this man must be voted out of office. Maybe he already thinks he's a lame duck. But can you imagine four years where he doesn't have to worry about getting reelected?

Big Government : Government Officials Want You to Know that Your Earnings Belong to Them

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:07:55 +0000

This is why I am so opposed to trying to primary blue state Republicans for "conservatives". I will gladly take Mark Kirk, Olympia Snowe, and in this case Scott Brown. Because Elizabeth Warren shows that the alternative in those states will be an unabashed, unapologetic, socialist.
