Joy Behar is a Fat, Stupid Commie

“He’s a terrorist. Rush Limbaugh is a terrorist. You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen.”

Joy Behar on The View, October 22, 2008

I thought it would be appropriate to include an example of the ridiculous (hence the title of this column) prior to eviscerating my fellow New Yorker, given the transcendent level of stupidity evidenced by Ms. Behar’s Limbaugh statement. (more…)

No Shame, No Blame

If my checking account goes into overdraft to a dramatic degree, obviously my bank would hear nothing of coming to the rescue with funds not only to ameliorate the overdraft, but to get me on my feet again. The same would apply if half of the depositors in the branch I use did likewise. (more…)

Black White Trash

Two weeks ago, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation published a piece by Toronto writer Heather Mallick that sprayed far Left elitism like blood from a cleanly-severed carotid artery. In it, she described supporters of Republican vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin as “white trash” and ascribed more insulting terminology to the Alaska governor and her family. (more…)

Already a Hero

“This pioneering Alaskan may just be the one to lead her party out of the wilderness.” – Investor’s Business Daily on Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, September 4, 2008

And indeed she might be. Around 40 million folks tuned in to the festivities at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul on Wednesday, September 3, according to Nielsen Media Research. That’s about a 28 million more than those who watched the Democrats’ hyper-boganza (“bogus extravaganza”) on any given night of the previous week. (more…)

Pimp this, Senator Obama

Erik Rush — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:09:07 +0000

One of the fundamental (though perhaps not prioritized) questions people ask pertaining to presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is that of what his ideas are for improving the lot of black Americans. Whether or not he feels a special affinity for this group (he identifies as black, after all, and until recently belonged to a black militant church) notwithstanding, it is only normal for the average American to consider this question despite the presumption that a President ought represent all the people.
After some digging for a platform or position of some sort to analyze, this columnist found on the subject what innumerable individuals have discovered as regards Obama’s plans to address any number of issues… (more…)

Jackson and Obama: Unfortunate Words?

Erik Rush — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:02:02 +0000

I try to avoid making commentary out of commentaries of news items. I also try to avoid using the word “I” in my columns overmuch, but the reader shall see how that worked out. This is actually a commentary on a commentary of a commentary on a news item, if that makes any sense at all.

Last Friday evening I had the honor of joining Mr. Hannity and Mr. Colmes on their Fox News television program. They, along with the urchinesque Tamika Mallory (Director of Al Sharpton’s National Action Network) and I, analyzed the July 11 New York Post column by the Post’s D.C. Bureau Chief, Charles Hurt.

Upchuck City

Erik Rush — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:23:57 +0000

No, this is not a review of an upcoming Spike Lee film; rather, the title of this offering is a reference to what the town of Unity, N.H. became on Friday June 27, when Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Hillary Clinton and Company descended upon the microscopic New England town in an effort to convince the latter senator’s supporters to back Obama. Hence the reasoning for choosing a place with the name “Unity.” (more…)

Pond Scum for Obama

In my local syndicated newspaper the other day, there was an article featuring a forum hosted by a nearby university for black high school seniors in the region. The annual event was calculated to inform and inspire the students regarding their options in the area of colleges and universities. It will become apparent how desperately such offerings are needed.

One of the talking points of the piece was outlined by the forum’s director, who was quoted as saying that due to cultural factors and because they frequently don’t have role models or parents directing them, black high school seniors are often unmotivated to go to college and aren’t even aware of the wide variety of fulfilling choices open to them.

So Stuck on Stupid

Erik Rush — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:05:55 +0000

Whether one attributes the success of Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama to savvy maneuvering on the part of the Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign, Republican ineptitude, a biased press or the influence of shadow governments, in the end the November election’s outcome is going to come down to Americans’ capacity – or lack of capacity – for critical thinking.

Where No Enemy Has Gone Before

There’s an axiom in Recovery (as in from addiction) circles which asserts that addictions are but symptoms of deeper emotional or psychological problems. Leaving aside the debate as to whether this holds water, I submit that the tremendous success of Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama is but a symptom of the broader disease: The establishment media (which includes broadcast news and print sources as well as the entertainment media) has finally subverted enough of the collective mind of America to usher in the era of socialism toward which the far Left has been maneuvering us for the last 40 years.
