Vadum on TV at 5 ET, Sun News Network’s show The Source

I’ll be on the Sun News Network in Canada at 5 p.m. Eastern offering thoughts on the Republican presidential candidates’ debate last night. The show is called “The Source.” Live streaming online is available here. * * * * * Americans need to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer.

Union Gangsters: Craig Becker

(originally posted at Front Page Magazine) Union Gangsters: Craig Becker By Matthew Vadum In the past year, America has witnessed the true face of organized labor and the thuggery and mob tactics that typify it. This behavior is no less than what national labor union figureheads have been promoting for decades — but in truth, they desire to see much worse. These fixtures of the Democratic political machine commonly push their followers into committing acts of criminality and brutish intimidation, while inciting hatred toward union enemies and free-market capitalism. Greed and an obsession with power have spawned a syndicalist culture that … Continue reading Union Gangsters: Craig Becker

Obama’s HUD Has Given $730,000 to ACORN This Year Alone. What’s Another $15 Billion More for Alinsky Groups?

(cross-posted at Big Government) President Obama has given ACORN $729,849 so far this year and billions more in federal cash may be in the pipeline. The president’s new economic stimulus package, the so-called “jobs bill,” contains as much as $15 billion for radical left-wing groups such as ACORN (his former employer). Obama has been using his presidential bully pulpit to demand that Republicans in Congress “pass this bill,” even though there is no bill yet. Despite all the rhetoric, the proposed “American Jobs Act of 2011” apparently hasn’t even been introduced in Congress. Meanwhile, longtime ACORN ally Shaun Donovan, who heads Obama’s … Continue reading Obama’s HUD Has Given $730,000 to ACORN This Year Alone. What’s Another $15 Billion More for Alinsky Groups?

The Sorry State of Immigration

Here’s a new article of mine in Front Page Magazine. The Sorry State of Immigration By Matthew Vadum The conventional wisdom among conservatives is that if President Obama wins a second term, things on the immigration policy front will become worse. But it’s difficult to see how the situation could become much worse when the state of immigration in the US today is in chaos and disarray, with no foreseeable political will to fix it. Republicans are much more divided on immigration than Democrats. Many pro-business GOPers support lax immigration enforcement and full or partial amnesty for illegal aliens already … Continue reading The Sorry State of Immigration

VIDEO: Vadum on Fox discussing Obama’s Jobs for Community Organizers Bill

I was on Fox Business (“Follow the Money” with Eric Bolling) on Sept. 16. We talked about President Obama’s new “jobs bill” which offers payoffs to ACORN and other radical left-wing groups. Here is the video clip: * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012.

Radical Rage: Marxist Mob Plans to Occupy Wall Street

My latest article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Radical Rage: Marxist Mob Plans to Occupy Wall Street By Matthew Vadum (Front Page Magazine, Sept. 16, 2011) The artwork associated with a political movement says a lot about that movement. The US Day of Rage’s Twitter feed features a photo of a defaced ten-dollar bill. Someone has added black hair and a Hitler moustache to Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, whom Congress honored in 1999 as “the man who more than any other designed the Government of the United States.” The Founders as Nazis: that’s what the leftists who plan to occupy … Continue reading Radical Rage: Marxist Mob Plans to Occupy Wall Street

Obama’s ‘Jobs Bill’ Makes ACORN Eligible for $15 Billion in Taxpayer Money

Here’s the top of my new (and inaugural) piece at Pajamas Media today: ACORN and other radical left-wing groups would be eligible for up to $15 billion in federal funding if President Obama’s new economic stimulus package becomes law.  Now that public polling shows Americans are realizing that economic stimulus programs don’t work, the Obama administration is calling the latest round of futile stimulus a “jobs bill.” In a sense it really is a jobs bill: a jobs bill for Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizers. […] * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time … Continue reading Obama’s ‘Jobs Bill’ Makes ACORN Eligible for $15 Billion in Taxpayer Money

More nonsense and lies from Salon’s Alex Pareene

Believe it or not Rachel Maddow lookalike Alex Pareene of Salon isn’t quite as dimwitted as his writing suggests. He seems to grasp the issues but like Brad Friedman and a gazillion other left-wingers Pareene doesn’t give a farthing’s cuss about ballot box integrity. The former Wonkette writer (yes, Wonkette, the thinking person’s Perez Hilton) demonizes anybody who dares to suggest that people should have to prove who they are when they show up at polling stations to vote. Pareene vermiculated over to his computer keyboard earlier today to attack the esteemed election law scholar Hans von Spakovsky for daring … Continue reading More nonsense and lies from Salon’s Alex Pareene

VIDEO: Vadum vs Thom Hartmann on “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American”

I was on top-rated  progressive talk radio host Thom Hartmann’s TV program on Wednesday. We discussed my apparently controversial American Thinker op-ed “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American” which explains the Cloward-Piven Strategy as applied to the electoral system. Here is the video clip: * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012.

Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s “Citizen Radio”

I enjoyed listening to the Sept. 6 edition of Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s podcast “Citizen Radio.” These two liberals didn’t seem to understand the argument I made in my American Thinker op-ed and it sounds like they relied on somebody’s goofy interpretation of my article instead of actually reading it. But at times they’re kinda funny even though they ramble endlessly and can’t stop their knees from jerking – and they’re a helluva lot more pleasant to listen to than serious-as-a-heart-attack Thom Hartmann. (Caution: Because of the language used the podcast is NSFW – Not Safe for Work – so … Continue reading Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s “Citizen Radio”

Obama’s Defilement of 9/11

My latest article in Front Page Magazine: Obama’s Defilement of 9/11 By Matthew Vadum As the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, President Obama is again pushing his “National Day of Service” in an effort to pervert the meaning of that terrible day for partisan political purposes. In his weekly address on Aug. 27, Obama urged Americans to do volunteer work this Sept. 11, a day that the administration ought to officially call the “National Day of Ignoring Islamofascism.” The president said Americans should do something to serve their communities on that day “to honor the victims of 9/11 and … Continue reading Obama’s Defilement of 9/11

Shrieking on the Left

“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods,” the great libertarian muckraker H.L. Mencken once opined. Of course he was right. Leftists double down on this idea when they support turning welfare offices into voter registration centers. It is a subversive, antisocial act, as I argued in my recent American Thinker op-ed, “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American.” That’s why Richard Cloward, Frances Fox Piven, ACORN, and a host of other left-wing, Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizing outfits were so delighted with the Motor-Voter law signed into law in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. These activists wanted to encourage welfare dependency … Continue reading Shrieking on the Left

Rick Hasen isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer

Left-wingers often have problems with reading comprehension. A case in point is Rick Hasen of Election Law Blog. In my recent American Thinker op-ed, “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American,” I argued that it is destructive to register welfare recipients to vote so that they can vote themselves more government benefits. It is even worse that our tax dollars are used to register welfare recipients at welfare offices. It is a policy that would cause the Founding Fathers to roll over in their graves. Yet Hasen misrepresents my views. He writes Wow.  Deny the right to vote the poor … Continue reading Rick Hasen isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer

No, Your Majesty, Congress Will Not Be Available Wednesday

Will Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood slam the doors of the House of Representatives shut in President Obama’s face if he shows up uninvited Wednesday? The president has asked to address a joint session of Congress that day in order to deliver for the umpteenth time another dreary, excuse-filled teleprompted oration on how he’s going to magically create new jobs for Americans. The Obama White House doesn’t give a farthing’s cuss that a high-stakes Republican presidential candidates’ debate has been scheduled for the same evening at the Reagan Library. Obama flak Jay Carney says the timing is a fluke. As the Washington Examiner reports White House … Continue reading No, Your Majesty, Congress Will Not Be Available Wednesday

Bringing Jihad TV to America

My latest article at Front Page Magazine… Bringing Jihad TV to America By Matthew Vadum Leftists are pushing to make Al Jazeera’s English language channel widely available on college campuses and cable TV networks throughout America in order to undermine public support for Israel. Radical activist Phyllis Bennis explained the importance of the TV channel at a recent “Campaign for Al Jazeera English” event in Washington, D.C., hosted by a group called Rethink Press. “If there were Al Jazeera access in every city in this country, building a movement to challenge U.S. foreign policy, to make it something different than … Continue reading Bringing Jihad TV to America
