New York Democrats Want to Confiscate Your Guns

Crocker — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 20:13:16 +0000

Actually, I think all Democrats want to confiscate our guns, but let’s stick with the New York variety for the moment. It’s now clear that Democrats in the New York legislature were initially quite prepared to go far beyond the provisions of the gun-control bill that they eventually passed. The list of proposed provisions reads [...]

Did Drudge Just Change the Gun Debate?

Crocker — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:21:36 +0000

Punching back twice as hard. This is how it’s done. When are the Republicans going to adopt the techniques of propaganda and counter-propaganda? Doesn’t look like the Left likes it much. Too bad.

The Second Amendment and the Battle of Athens

Crocker — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:13:31 +0000

Want to understand the Second Amendment’s purpose? Then let’s talk about the “Battle of Athens”. No, not that Athens, but Athens, Tennessee, county seat of McMinn County. It seems that for years before the Second World War, the county’s government was both corrupt and dominated by a couple of families who had juice in the [...]

Barack Obama Tramples the First Amendment

Crocker — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 01:54:16 +0000

I am beyond angry. There are not words to describe my emotions. Barack Obama must resign now. The thing that currently inhabits the White House is no president. Rather than take responsibility for the utter incompetence of his own foreign policy, Barack Obama has instead chosen to blame the murder of our Libyan ambassador on [...]

Barack Obama 2007: “The Day I’m Inaugurated . . . the World Looks at America Differently”

Crocker — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 21:45:07 +0000

Truer words were never spoken. Now the world sees a grandiose candy-ass as president. From November 2007, via Breitbart: “I truly believe that the day I’m inaugurated . . . not only does the country look at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently. . . . The world will have confidence that [...]

Dealing With The Islamic World – In 1805

Crocker — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:34:13 +0000

The first war we fought as a new nation was against Islamic pirates along the North African coast in Tunis, Algiers and Tripoli. At the time these were Islamic city-states loosely under Ottoman control. The pirates were a scourge and once we were no longer under British and then French protection, it was open season [...]

Ramirez: Obama, Romney and the Media

Crocker — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:05:54 +0000

Michael Ramirez’s latest can be characterized by one word: “ouch”. Click image to enlarge.

Barack Obama, Chauncey Gardiner and Being There

Crocker — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:41:17 +0000

I noticed that Hew Hewitt compared our Sun King to Chance the Gardiner, the vacant but well-bred gardener who appears indifferent to and detached from his surroundings in the film Being There. Obama chastises Romney for speaking out of turn and then turns gaffe-tastic yet again when he wasn’t sure whether Egypt was an ally. [...]

How to Deal With Islamists Coming Over the Embassy Wall

Crocker — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 03:10:15 +0000

Just trying to be helpful here. A couple of suggestions for weapons to use on goobers coming over the embassy wall. First, the flamethrower. Here’s a World War II model. It’s good as far as it goes, but it doesn’t really seem to ‘stick’ – if you know what I mean. Now this is more [...]

Report: State Department Had Intelligence About the Benghazi Attacks 48 Hours in Advance and Did Nothing

Crocker — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 02:04:31 +0000

And we have to find out about this from the foreign press. From the UK Independent: The US administration is now facing a crisis in Libya. Sensitive documents have gone missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly secret location of the “safe house” in the city, where the staff had retreated, came under [...]

Barack Carter: Partying Like It’s 1979

Crocker — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:15:09 +0000

Another beaut from Michael Ramirez. Many of us have seen the resemblance from Inauguration Day. There’s one key difference between Obama and Carter, however. No one could accuse Carter of being lazy and of not attending to the job of being president. Bless his myopic little heart, Carter obsessed over every detail – and became [...]

Why Are We Still Shipping M1A1 Tanks to Egypt?

Crocker — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:27:41 +0000

According to Defense Industry Daily, Egypt continues to order M1A1 tanks from us and we continue to kit these tanks for assembly in Egypt, giving the Egyptian military the ability to build and maintain their current fleet, which is scheduled to grow to 1,200 units. According to DID, we’ve continuously upgraded the models the Egyptians [...]

9/11, Egypt, Libya and Murder: Obama Channels Jimmy Carter

Crocker — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:25:36 +0000

By now we know of our ambassador’s murder in Libya. The pictures of the mob dragging his corpse in the streets of Benghazi are already circulating on the web. I cannot in decency post or link to the pictures. Let’s compare and contrast: Look familiar? Tehran 1979 vs. Cairo 2012. And what was our fearless [...]

Michael Ramirez: The Media’s Love Affair with Obama

Crocker — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 13:16:47 +0000

A great cartoon from Michael Ramirez zinging the lovesick media. Usually, cartoonists don’t write columns, but Ramirez did just that in Investors Business Daily, taking the media to task for writing the rosy narrative for their paramour. In recent polls, the most important issue to Americans continues to be the economy and jobs. What’s not [...]

9/11 – Eleven Years After

Crocker — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 16:45:10 +0000

Was it really eleven years ago? Everyone has their story and remembrance of that day. I was working in my office at home and heard a radio announcement about the first Tower. No word on the type of plane or the circumstances. Strange, I thought. A tragic accident. But very odd, given the unlimited visibility [...]

The 2012 Democrat Convention: Cardinal Dolan’s Prayer

Crocker — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 11:37:04 +0000

And now for something more serious. By now we know the story of how Timothy Cardinal Dolan was initially rebuffed and then invited to deliver the closing prayer at the Democrat Convention. Come to think of it, Dolan’s treatment seems to synch perfectly with the platform committee’s efforts to disinvite God. Well, now that he [...]

The 2012 Democrat Convention: Jennifer Granholm Channels Howard Dean

Crocker — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 11:10:12 +0000

Would someone please adjust this woman’s medication? Now let’s compare and contrast – all in good fun, of course. Thanks to Powerline for the video editing.

The 2012 Democrat Convention: God is Out – Then Back In

Crocker — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:54:58 +0000

This is definitely not your father’s Democrat Party. First, the platform committee kicked God and Israel out of the platform. Then, after the predictable public outcry, they put it back in, apparently over the expressed will of their own delegates. I never thought I could feel sorry for an incompetent philanderer like Antonio Villaraigosa, but [...]

Barack Obama’s Definition of Sin

Crocker — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 11:36:41 +0000

From a 2004 interview with Catherine Falsani of the Chicago Sun-Tribune: Falsani: Do you believe in sin? Obama: Yes. Falsani: What is sin? Obama: Being out of alignment with my values. The perfect narcissist. When I look at Barack Obama and his leftist crew, I see a void from which not even light escapes. Hat [...]

Karl Rove and American Crossroads PAC: Is He His Own Favorite Cause?

Crocker — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 12:45:08 +0000

I don’t much like Karl Rove. Judging from his behavior at the Republican Convention, he apparently fancies himself The Most Important Person There Is. His exclusive breakfast with billionaire donors to his American Crossroads PAC was well reported. According to the same press report, he made a harmless little joke about Todd Akin: He also [...]
