If Obamacare passes, so does Taxpayer funded abortion

The Banter-er — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:23:32 +0000

The Family Research Council blog has 8 expertly documented reasons to believe that taxpayer funded abortion will be included in Healthcare overhaul underway in Washington. With Rep. Bart Stupack raising a raucous with his opposition to the Senate bill’s lack of the Hyde Amendment language, abortion has taken center stage in the debate. And while pro-lifers have [...]

North Korean Gothic

The Banter-er — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:07:38 +0000

The Drudge Report has linked to an article citing the rise of power and influence of North Korean First Sister, Kim Kyong-Hui. Apparently the 64 year old woman has seen an increase in her day-to-day responsibilities around the country. Honestly, I have no comment on the article, but the picture of the Kims Drudge chose to display looked [...]

Tea Party Celebrities Should Stump Against McCain

The Banter-er — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:21:20 +0000

It has been widely published that the two biggest faces of the tea party movement will head to Arizona to stump for John McCain in his Senate primary against former Congressman J.D. Hayworth. Both Sarah Palin and newly elected Senator Scott Brown will endorse McCain sometime in the near future. 2YAKN7RQKCHQ I’ve got a serious problem [...]

Obama White House: There’s Not an App for That

The Banter-er — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:41:43 +0000

Following two highly successful commercials promoting the new Obama iPhone application (here & here), the White House has released a rejected ad that highlights what exactly the application doesn’t do. Spread the Wealth Around:

Hope Index – 2/8

The Banter-er — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:19:48 +0000

Bring on the debt! A week after a State of the Union address and several other speeches where he renounced deficits and called the country on it’s reckless spending habits, Obama released his new budget that grows the deficit to record levels. Hope with absolutely no change – just a whole lot of IOU’s that will [...]

iPad & iHealthcare: How Arrogance Invites Letdown

The Banter-er — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 19:04:54 +0000

What do the iPad and healthcare reform have in common? More than you would think. Watching last week’s iPad keynote address from Steve Jobs left me with an inescapable sense of deja vu. What I was hearing and feeling was eerily similar to how I’ve felt while following the healthcare debate raging in Washington D.C. and throughout [...]

Deficit be Damned: Government to Grow

The Banter-er — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:58:05 +0000

We know from the State of the Union that Obama at least superficially understands that the US economy is still struggling to recover from deep recession. He knows people are increasingly out of work and growing more and more worried about the rapidly expanding federal government. He also acknowledged that deficits are dangerously high and [...]

Limited Government: Citizens Need a Veto Pen

The Banter-er — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:52:27 +0000

The system of checks and balances brilliantly crafted by the founding fathers has been circumvented by big government politicians who write their own job security into public policy legislation. While most of this growth of the federal government is slow and subtle, times of “crisis” can lead to a tsunami-like lurch in size and power. [...]

Wait, you mean Obama was lying about taxes?

The Banter-er — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:42:29 +0000

No freaking way! Give me a second to put on my surprised face. So when Obama repeatedly declared that he wasn’t going to raise taxes on “folks” making under $250,000, he wasn’t being entirely honest? Apparently not, according to the proposed 2010 budget unveiled by the Obama administration yesterday. In the world as the President sees it, [...]

Rep. Clyburn Talks His Way Out of Common Sense

The Banter-er — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:54:14 +0000

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), House Majority Whip, made a classic liberal Freudian slip when talking about his approach to fixing the economy: We’re not going to save our way out of this recession. We’ve got to spend our way out of this recession… While it’s true that spending is essential to a recovering economy, mounting deficits have [...]

SNL Finally Gets Obama Right

The Banter-er — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:55:59 +0000

The past few weeks have presented major setbacks for President Obama. The Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts virtually derailed healthcare reform in Congress, the Supreme Court reversed decades of first amendment suppression, and the wind of hope and change that swept Obama into office appears to have subsided. It gets worse for the young president… Saturday [...]

Hope Index – 2/1

The Banter-er — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:12:27 +0000

Well, it didn’t take very long for President Obama and the left to throw cold water on the freedom fest of two week’s ago. We went from Scott Brown to the favorable SCOTUS ruling to Air America’s disgraceful exit from the airwaves. It was a good week. However, reality hit with a thud this week as [...]

Jihad Warm-mongering

The Banter-er — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:39:34 +0000

Osama Bin Laden’s recent denouncing of global warming perfectly illustrates how radicals will use any effective propaganda to justify their desired result. Bin Laden knows that pacifist lefties will latch right on to his latest anti-industrialized rhetoric and use it as proof that United States and other Western nations bring Islamic animosity upon themselves. In fact, [...]

State of Disunion

The Banter-er — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:26:39 +0000

Editor’s note: After his first State of the Union address last night, Obama released the following speech he wrote to discuss the state of the disunion his agenda has created in America. We have obtained a copy and are happy to share it with BanterNation: I was going to call a joint session of Everyday Banter [...]

For Americans, the “Beer Goggles” are off

The Banter-er — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:02:59 +0000

Boston Globe columnist Brian McGrory was so dismayed by the historic Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts, that he compares the experience with being date raped, complete with the sting of regret and the pain of violation. The haunting detail of his commentary would suggest that McGrory himself has an intimate knowledge of such affairs; only [...]
