The Huffington Post doesn’t shy away from the far reaches of environmental craziness.
This time they’ve published an animated short film from Steve Cutts that they described as “Everything Wrong With Humanity, In One Short Clip.” The video was posted on March 27, but the writer noted that Cutts’ video, actually called “Man,” is from 2012. In the environmental propaganda animation, the entire…

Scott Pelley Tosses Softballs to Obama: You Wish You Could Live Low Ke
CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley scored an exclusive interview with Barack Obama on Friday. Much of the conversation centered around the President's meeting with Pope Francis.

CNN Email Touts 6 Million Obamacare Sign-ups As 'Symbolic Victory
Call it low-information voter outreach.
An email yesterday from CNNMoney touted how fantastic it was that Obamacare enrollment has reached the six million threshold, even describing it as a "symbolic victory." Though the underlying article by Tami Luhby at least noted the problems with that 6 million figure, those problems should have been enough to negate that characterization. Instead,…

ABC Touts 'Bond' Between Obama and Pope; Forgets the Administration's

Even Maddow Can't Ignore Slew of Democrat Scandals, But She Can Bury t
Remember last month when MSNBC's Rachel Maddow could not bring herself to even whisper that corrupt convicted mayors in Trenton and New Orleans were (place finger to lips) Democrats ...?
Last night, the pendulum swung all the way to the other side. There are so many Dems answering awkward questions from police and FBI agents that Maddow threw ideological caution to the wind and repeatedly…

Daily Beast Reporter Slams Family Research Council for Using Term 'Nat
One of the big steps in winning a social or political battle these days is defining the terms to be used in the debate. Remember how an “unborn child” became an antiseptic “fetus” during the start of the abortion debate? And how left-wingers now call themselves “progressives” since George H. W. Bush turned “liberal” into a slur during his 1988 presidential campaign?
According to a Thursday…

Column: God, Caesar, and ObamaCare
"Well, then," Jesus said, "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God." (Mark 12:17 Living Paraphrase)
