Two words, sir: Up twinkles.

Big Government : Bill Ayers' Comrade Calls ME a Terrorist?!

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 04:05:13 +0000

I find it interesting that it has been discovered that FOIA requests filed by liberals are fulfilled *much* faster than those filed by conservatives as was reported last week (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/bombshell-charge-doj-whistleblower-says-liberal-foia-requests-get-vip-treament/) Complicity? Keep up the great work!

Big Journalism : As Hacked ChamberLeaks Emails Break, Left Scrambles to Hide Ties to Domestic Terrorist

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 03:23:05 +0000

That's what I like about "The Bigs": a gathering of the ballsiest, smartest and tenacious conservatives around. Way to go, Liberty Chick. Whatever we can do to help you and Patterico - especially against an established terrorist - just tweet/DM the word.

Big Journalism : Rush on Walsh: 'Vince Flynn Caliber' Thrillers

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:51:27 +0000

O...M...G...bought "Hostile Intent" and can't put it down - except for when I have to go to work and even then I'm sneaking a peek when I have a quick minute. Already looking forward to "Early Warning." All I can say is that Mr. Limbaugh has good taste!

Big Journalism : Rush on Walsh: 'Vince Flynn Caliber' Thrillers

Tue, 5 Oct 2010 18:18:04 +0000

Heard your interview on the @Stage_Right Show (BlogTalkRadio) last night and was quite intrigued. I love Vince Flynn's books and with Rush's recommendation, I can't wait to get my hands on "Hostile Intent" and "Early Warning." Based on the title alone, "October Surprise" warrants a future purchase as well.

Big Peace : American Rancher X, Part 2

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:32:30 +0000

I was concerned when Mr. Dollard dropped off the radar for awhile...now I see there was good cause for concern. This is scary, unacceptable sh*t. To quote Leauxryda "What’s going on at our borders is OBVIOUSLY AN INSIDE JOB." We have the power to stop it but our government feels it is better to take Arizona to court than fight the real battle at the border. Disgusting is the nicest thing I can say about our government at the moment. Yes, Farmer X is probably going to have to look over his shoulder even more now but it seems like Mr. Dollard is one of the few people going out to see what is truly going on and reporting on it. Props. UPDATE: Tune into the Jason Lewis Show at 6:00 EST today (Fri., Sept. 24) where he will be discussing the drug war and the latest government official to be killed in Mexico in the past month. Jason has some very strong libertarian views on the drug war and how it impacts the U.S., our borders, and our safety.

Big Hollywood : Film Review: Weakly Plotted But Still Hilarious, 'The Other Guys' Is Worth a Look

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 22:33:27 +0000

My kids wanted to see this movie so my husband and I took them to a matinee. Glad it was the matinee because I was not impressed. Mr. Kozlowski is correct in Mark Wahlberg being deadpan funny in his scenes with Eva Mendes but that was about it and it wasn't uproariously funny. Also, there were some scenes that were more R-rated than PG-13 and we aren't exactly prudish when it comes to movies. I'd say that it is more appropriate for 16 year-olds on up due to sexual language. Save your money for "The Expendables" instead.

NewsReal Blog : Greg Gutfeld’s Gay (ak)Bar to the Rescue

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:51:08 +0000

From the post title including "(ak)Bar" to the many levels of meaning in the logo/graphic this is a win. And it will grate on the nerves of the intolerant left which makes it all kinds of wonderful. Fabulous concept and execution! Err, didn't mean to say "execution" - my bad.

Big Government : Licensing Gone Wild: Government Bureaucrats Shut Down Crying Little Girl's Lemonade Stand

Fri, 6 Aug 2010 16:26:44 +0000

1. She probably shouldn't have set up a stand at a FAIR. Cute as it is, the point was made that others had to pay to be there. If she set up in front of her house, would it be as much of an issue? Just thinking here folks. 2. The government has probably created a conservative voter as a result. While I hate what the gov't did, if a child learns the harsh lesson of gov't intervention in economics/industry so be it <- a lesson she probably wouldn't get in her public (gov't) school. This whole topic drives me nuts. Not only will code enforcement strong-arm legit businesses for "license fees" that are beyond ridiculous to even need, you have created an environment where neighbors narc on neighbors and businesses calling code enforcement on their competition. We are living in a police state created by special interests. Smaller gov't is good gov't and if we don't hack and slash at the monstrosity now, we get what we deserve. Bah humbug.

Big Journalism : Franken's Felony Vote News Blackout

Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:47:13 +0000

<on soapbox> The Minnesota Majority was on this topic before, during and after the campaign and they were/have been shunned by the media who is gaga over Franken. If it weren't for the New Black Panthers/J. Christian Adams story I believe the Minnesota story would still be under a proverbial rock. Dan McGrath, Jeff Davis, et al who have been tenacious at getting the facts and then getting the story out are rock stars in my book. If you are in Minnesota, make sure to bookmark http://minnesotamajority.org and, if/when possible, help them out whether monetarily or sending letters/emails/faxes when they send out alerts. They are a tremendous resource and are on top of all of the issues that concern you. Don't let others make decisions for you and your family. Stay informed. <off soapbox>

Big Hollywood : Tonight 'Deadliest Catch' Loses Captain Phil

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:51:30 +0000

My family has been waiting for this episode to air for quite awhile. Last week they had a round-table hosted by Mike Rowe of some of the captains and crew and even that was a tearjerker with some awkward, choked-up pauses. Tonight will most likely be even more emotional. Being of the female persuasion, I may be one of the few who can't find it in me to watch any of the other so-called reality shows but this truly is reality - warts, swearing, boozing and all - and I love it. I won't be a fisherman in the Bering Sea but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate what they do. My husband, kids and I went to a "nice" dinner the other night that featured crab. I asked them which of the "Deadliest Catch" boats they thought caught our dinner...my young son said that he liked to think it was from Phil's. Nearly had me bawling in the restaurant. RIP Phil. And to the others and all who have dangerous jobs, stay safe.

Big Peace : Ronald Reagan and the Diplomacy of Strength

Wed, 7 Jul 2010 23:26:53 +0000

I'm holding out hope for Chris Christie in the future. While more brash than Reagan, he has that no-nonsense approach many are finding appealing. He calls it as he sees it and is willing to fend off the slings and arrows. And I don't see him as one to alienate our allies or to bow to dictators.

Big Government : After Facing the Very Worst of Our Healthcare System, I Still Oppose ObamaCare

Wed, 7 Jul 2010 22:03:12 +0000

Mr. Nolte, Thank you for sharing this incredibly heart-wrenching ordeal with us. It certainly is a cautionary tale to say the least. While we don't have a truly free market where health insurance is concerned, it is better than what the Obamacare future holds. And yes, there are a lot of reforms which should take place but, the liberal politicians have ignored any suggestions from conservatives in a vanity-filled effort to push their own agenda. If politicians, on both sides of the aisle, truly have our best health interests at heart, they will listen to the public - and Mrs. Nolte - and repeal Obamacare ASAP. Thoughts and prayers for you both.

Big Hollywood : THE NEW BLACKLIST: Did a Pro-Afghan War Director Sucker the Sundance Film Festival?

Wed, 7 Jul 2010 13:59:54 +0000

Once again, liberals totally miss the point. If they owned up to the fact that Sundance has an agenda beyond promoting movies, this wouldn't even be an issue. That they resort to subterfuge when considering which movies to promote or not while trying to appear apolitical makes them disingenuous at best. If you are going to be liberal and have a bias, OWN it! Thinking out loud here...on a side note, is being apolitical kind of like being asexual? Hmmm...
