1. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann continues to infuriate all the right people. Namely, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, both of whom have taken every opportunity to label her as some sort of zealous nut case with paranoid delusions. Every liberal blog that mentions her still falsely claims that she has called for congressional hearings to investigate anti-american sentiments among her congressional colleagues.
Recently, the left has been frothing at the mouth while claiming she is calling for a “violent revolution” to “overthrow the government.” Noted legal scholar, and Ag-School graduate, Keith Olbermann, suggested that Ms. Bachmann’s comments may have been illegal speech. Her crime? Quoting Thomas Jefferson.
2. British MEP Daniel Hannan. Who knew that any Brits were still interested in freedom? Well this one is. His thorough smackdown of PM Brown (and socialist policies in general ) has gone volcanic at Youtube and is nearing 2 million views.
3. Glenn Beck. No one has been louder, funnier, or more effective at explaining the current financial crisis in simple terms and how the proposed solutions from the big-government experts are completely the wrong ideas for our country.
Iowa State’s once-in-a-decade press helped the Cyclones rally from a seven-point deficit with 1:04 to play tonight as they outfought Michigan State 69-68 in a semifinal game of the Berkeley Regional in the NCAA Tournament.
The fourth-seeded Cyclones (27-8) advance to the Elite Eight for the second time in their history, 10 years after the 1999 squad did it. They will play at 8 p.m. Monday against the winner of tonight’s second game between second-seeded Stanford and third-seeded Ohio State.
A digital war has broken out, and the conservative movement is losing. Read the comment sections of right-leaning blogs, news sites and social forums, and the evidence is there in ugly abundance. Internet hooligans are spewing their talking points to thwart the dissent of the newly-out-of-power.
We must not let that go unanswered.
Uninvited Democratic activists are on a mission to demoralize the enemy – us. They want to ensure that President Obama is not subject to the same coordinated, facts-be-damned, multimedia takedown they employed over eight long years to destroy the presidency – and the humanity – of George W. Bush.
Political leftists play for keeps. They are willing to lie, perform deceptive acts in a coordinated fashion and do so in a wicked way – all in the pursuit of victory. Moral relativism is alive and well in the land of Hope and Change and its Web-savvy youth brigade expresses its “idealism” in a most cynical fashion.
The ends justify the means for them – now more than ever.
“MoveOn.org and the little boys from ‘Lord of the Flies’ who run Media Matters want to make it appear that there’s huge dissension within conservative ranks on issues on which we’re most united.”
The left also uses disinformation to inundate the advertisers of conservative-leaning talk shows to intimidate them from financially supporting popular mainstream shows.
Media Matters even offered its services to an autism support group in its attempt to bring down talk-show host Michael Savage. It had nothing to do with Mr. Savage’s underlying offense. Would Media Matters go after Keith Olbermann if he made a tirade against the afflicted? David Brock and company certainly didn’t raise a peep when President Obama made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics.
Iowa should limit vehicle pollution like California does, said a lawmaker who has proposed sweeping, controversial environmental regulations. Rep. Nathan Reichert, D-Muscatine, has proposed House File 422 which would require the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission to set emissions standards for most passenger vehicles beginning with the 2011 model year.
The standards would be based on a law in California that requires tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases from cars and light trucks to be cut 22 percent by 2012 and 30 percent by 2016.
The cost of compliance is estimated at $1,000 to $3,000 more per vehicle, based upon figures from California’s environmental protection agency and the auto industry.
Increasing the cost of new cars by $3000 sounds like a fantastic idea when the auto industry is on the brink of bankruptcy. Auto dealers from all of Iowa’s border states are reported to be thrilled with the idea.
