By Chuck Roger • April 29th, 2011 12:00 am

Originally at American Thinker, April 25, 2011 By Chuck Rogér The latest global warming derangement? In order to stop “imperiling the planet,” turn off your refrigerator’s icemaker. To appreciate the depth of madness to which warmists are now routinely sinking, let’s identify the fallacies contained in a sentence lifted from a recent Time magazine post. [...]

The Government of the Big Lie

By Chuck Roger • April 27th, 2011 12:00 am

Originally at American Thinker, April 24, 2011 By Chuck Rogér In January 1981, America’s Jimmy Carter disaster plodded to a merciful close.  A new President judged the time right to acknowledge something that people had been realizing in greater and greater numbers since LBJ’s Great Society programs began ruining America.  In his first inaugural address, [...]

Bias in the American media, a longstanding tradition

By Chuck Roger • January 20th, 2011 12:30 am

The American mainstream media lied, concealed facts, and actively supported Barack Obama’s talking points in 2007 and 2008. A sufficient number of voters swallowed the distortions to get the man elected President. Throughout the first two years of the Obama administration, the media continued to shill for his prosperity-killing policies and demonize opponents of those [...]

Liberal Preachiness Takes a Name: Bloomberg Syndrome

By Chuck Roger • September 9th, 2010 2:55 am

Originally in American Thinker, September 8, 2010. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants Americans to embrace the Ground Zero Mosque as a step toward “building an interfaith community.” The Mayor believes that the mosque would “bring [New York] City even closer together and help repudiate the false and repugnant idea that the attacks of [...]

Stupid is as stupid says

By Chuck Roger • August 4th, 2010 3:46 am

People say some dumb things. I’ve said my share. But when it comes to sounding truly clueless, over-the-top, shrill, or hyperbolic, liberals win hands down. For instance, take something that ABC substitute news anchor David Muir said recently. …the President marked quite a week in Washington. The [Deepwater Horizon] oil, for now, is finally stopped, [...]

Pathological progressive dishonesty and cluelessness

By Chuck Roger • April 11th, 2010 9:46 pm

You know you’re in for a real treat when you come across a piece titled “Wealth for the Common Good” written by a self-described progressive who publishes a progressive periodical. Katrina Vanden Heuvel is the writer and The Nation is the emotion-filled, rational argument-free publication. Heuvel tackles the “real causes” for our deep recession. One [...]

Love, Fear, and Tyranny

By Chuck Roger • April 7th, 2010 4:11 am

Originally in American Thinker, April 4, 2010. I was plenty scared in the fall of 2008. As the weather cooled and the economy collapsed, my financial security crumbled. Then, on November 4th, freedom and rational thought lost at the polls. A year and a half later, I feel powerless while the arrogant radical and dogma-breathing [...]

Critics beware, for the totalitarians have arrived and the state-controlled media will protect them

By Chuck Roger • March 24th, 2010 9:53 pm

The Democrats will soon have critics at the disadvantage at which all totalitarians long to have the pesky peons. Renowned economist Thomas Sowell asks a worrisome question. With politicians now having access to our most confidential records and having the power of granting or withholding medical care needed to sustain ourselves or our loved ones, [...]

‘Progressive’ fools and Islamic terrorism–feeling good about denying what feels bad

By Chuck Roger • December 30th, 2009 12:13 am

Moral relativism and the mushiness of “tolerance” are destroying Americans’ judgment skills. If you’ve taken offense at what Christopher Hitchens has had to say about religion in general and Christianity in particular, please let it go long enough to read this outstanding commentary. Hitchens makes precisely the same points about Islamic terrorism as those made [...]

Stripped-naked messiah, Kamikaze Congress?

By Chuck Roger • December 27th, 2009 12:16 am

Rasmussen’s latest Presidential Tracking Poll shows that a whopping 43% of voters strongly disapprove of President Obama’s performance and agenda. Only 27% “strongly approve.” Just 25% of voters think well of the healthcare legislation that Obama and Congress are postured to ram down the American people’s throats. Do these numbers spell doom for the Dems [...]
