The Fuss Over ID

hotair.com

November 27, 2010

Bill King trots out another old favorite, conservative chestnut this week by once again suggesting that perhaps people who show up at the polls to vote should bring along some sort of identification.

And, anticipating the normal progressive push-back, offers a suggestion to Democrats. Get over it. Bill's assumption that Democrats would object - and precisely why they might - seems to have been summoned immediately into existence. Greg's Opinion...

Election Law to Rahm: No Mayor's Race for You?

November 26, 2010

When Rahm Emanuel resigned as President Obama's Chief of Staff, everyone and his brother assumed he did so to assume the Mayoralty of Chicago.

However, if a certain Chicago lawyer has his way, Emanuel's climb into the driver's seat of the Chicago political machine will end before it even begins.

"I was just following orders" is no excuse for violating the Rights of Citizens

We know that government hiring procedures insure that a high number of morons are on the federal workforce. Apparently the morons at TSA don't realize that when their job requires them to be offensive that people will actually become offended.

They want to be protected from the consequences of their actions, using the same defense as those who were tried at Nuremberg. Here's my advice to those TSA workers who don't want to be called dirty names by their fellow citizens... If your job requires you to violate the Rights of free citizens and you don't want to be addressed in a manner that is appropriate for someone engaged in such behavior that requires you to trade your self-respect for a paycheck... QUIT.

Podesta advises Obama to ignore voters, bypass Congress through agency action

hotair.com

November 17, 2010

Remember when the term "unitary executive" got thrown around a lot by the Left as a way to argue that the Bush administration thought itself above the law and above Congress?

The criticism fundamentally misunderstood the phrase, but that didn't keep progressives from arguing that a Republican President was making himself into a dictator through bureaucratic fiat. By golly, the Left - and especially the Center for American Progress, headed by John Podesta - didn't cotton to the notion that a President could bypass Congress and the normal checks and balances of the federal government.

LaHood looking for ways to disable cell phones in cars

Remember, in Hopenchange, everything not expressly permitted will be outlawed.

In an attempt to deal with the supposed epidemic of distracted drivers, especially younger drivers, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced that the Obama administration will review its options in blocking cell phone use in cars.

RNC political director resigns, unloads on Michael Steele

November 16, 2010

The endless media gaffes were one thing, but they could have and would have been forgiven if he was running a tight ship otherwise. Not so, if political director Gentry Collins is to be believed.

He blames Steele specifically for the dramatic falloff among big donors, which left the RNC $75 million or so off its take in 2006. (Then again, the 2006 RNC had a Republican president in office to help rally donors.) Here's the killer, though. Back in March, blogging yet another in the endless stream of "new internal difficulties at the RNC" stories that have leaked over the past two years, I said, "if the RNC gets caught short-handed financially in the fall and loses winnable House races because it can't pay for ads, the wrath of conservatives will be unimaginable." Well, here's Collins claiming that that's what happened - not just in terms of ads, but in terms of organization.

Grand Style, Political Chicanery

Charlie Rangle (D-efrauding the public) walked out of his corruption ethics trial after being denied a delay to find an attorney. This is a shell game, folks.

Rangel requests a stay to make it appear that he wants a fair hearing, knowing full-well that his DemonRat comrades would deny his request so they can finish his hearing before the House is taken over by folks who would actually do their job and find him guilty. They might as well have called in a comedian to testify...

NBC, Olbermann at war?

hotair.com

November 15, 2010

Have Keith Olbermann's colleagues had enough of the circus at MSNBC? Eight insiders have vented to Howard Kurtz at the Daily Beast about the anchor's "totally narcissistic response"...

This "war," as Griffin apparently declared to Olbermann's new management team at ICM, didn't start with the political donations. In September, NBC brass met with his managers and told them that Olbermann had gotten out of control. The staff complaints about high-handed treatment - according to Kurtz' sources, they aren't allowed to talk with Olbermann but have to leave notes outside his office to communicate - had them alarmed. The angry, Peter Finch shtick had grown tired. The donations hit in the middle of this...

Who REALLY Throws Around The Terms Nazi Fascist? The Progressives of Course

November 15, 2010

This week there has been much discussion about Glenn Beck's use of George Soros' own words to describe the progressive sugar daddy's youth in Nazi-controlled Hungry. Media Matters, the ADL and other Progressive organizations had a feast making the false c

Their reaction is part of a much larger and more disturbing trend. Progressives, sometimes with the help of the Anti-Defamation league, are trying to brand just about everybody as an anti-Semite. Not just Beck but people in the Tea Party Movement, and other conservatives are falsely accused of this horrible hatred. When not accusing conservatives of Antisemitism, they accuse conservatives of inappropriately labeling others of being Nazis (particularly President Obama). In the vast majority of these cases, these Progressive charges are simply not true.

Health Care Reform Group Gets Waiver from... Health Care Reform?

November 14, 2010

So an institute dedicated to finding ways to reform the health care system had to apply for an exemption from the administration's reforms to the health care system?

Keep your eyes on the news next week, as I'm fairly sure that the heads of some immigration reform lobbying groups will be deported.
