Which party prides itself in being the party of business? The party that pushes for deregulation, the easing of wage costs, and environmental and safety concerns in the interest of profits.

A Sincere ‘Thanks’ To The Tea Party

Tea

In my youth, the conservative wing of the Republican party was dominated by the likes of Everett Dirksen, Barry Goldwater, Richard Viguerie and Ronald Reagan. There are two indisputable facts about these four men: One, that they were all proud conservatives during their time, and two, by today’s standards, not one of them would be recognized as conservative enough to satisfy the Tea Party.

The Mark of Obama

Muammar Qaddafi and Osama bin Laden killed more Americans than any other terrorist backers in history. Before 9/11, Qaddafi was #1, only to be outdone by Osama bin Laden, whom President Obama hunted to extinction.

Rick Perry and the Power of Stupid

Rick Perry And Michelle Bachmann Address Republican Dinner In Iowa

Up until three weeks ago, the race for pole position amongst the Republicans candidates was firmly in the hands of Mitt Romney. Then Governor Perry of Texas threw his Stetson in the ring, and suddenly Mitt Romney is trailing Perry by two to one in the latest polling. How can that be? The guy looks, acts and talks like George W. Bush 2.0, minus the smarts.

Obama and the Arab Spring

Earlier this year, we were jubilant when Tunisia ejected Zine El-Abidel Ben Ali, and even more so when the people of Egypt soon after booted Hosni Mubarak from power. As defenders of freedom and the will of the people, we were elated to see these two countries rise up and overthrow their tyrannical dictators.

A Day In The Life Of Fox Bloggers

I decided to randomly scan the comments section under a FoxNews.com article (on the debt ceiling crisis). Look at the names these people have chosen to post under, and even the graphics they use for their personal avatars. For those who’ve never actually read the posts of these folks, this might come as a bit of a shock for you, but you should know what they’re saying. In today’s climate, these people are now the GOP mainstream.

The Timeline of Failure and a Moment of Triumph

A complete timeline chronicling the hunt for Osama bin Laden, beginning during the Clinton Administration, and ending shortly after bin Laden’s assassination. This timeline shows several different ways that George W. Bush failed to catch bin Laden, and how his Administration is now trying to take credit.

End Game for the Birthers

Reagans-BC

Ronald Reagan’s birth certificate was issued in 1991, but he died in 2004. Does that mean he was 13 when he died, or that Presidents sometimes need new copies of their birth certificates?

The Republican ‘Budget’

The right-wing of the Republican party, led by House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan has released their federal budget plan. Ryan claims it will knock off trillions of dollars from our national debt. He thinks it’s a great plan. And why not? It sure cuts out of a lot of bothersome “people” programs.
