Gun victims that destroy their own freedom and security by call for gun control-and that’s what earned them the title of Useful Idiot of the Month. Gun control that makes them less safe, and would not have stopped them, or their family members from being victims in the first place. It’s unfortunate that they (or their loved ones) were the victims of a crime, but disarming the rest of us only makes the rest of us less safe. Since criminals don’t follow laws anyway, they will still have guns. Just look at Chicago, which has the most restrictive gun laws [...]

Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: April 2013
The Useful Idiot of the Month Poll is here, albeit a couple days late. On Sunday, I asked for nominees, and the good readers answered the call. For those of you that are new to this, a useful idiot is a supporter or Marxism in a Western country. Useful idiots are used to disrupt and destabilize the economy, political system, and even the culture of a target country. The anticipated outcome is for the target country to collapse, and for Marxists to take over. Then, most ironically, the useful idiots are usually killed, having exhausted their usefulness. So, here is [...]
RINO ALERT!! Boehner Willing to Abandon GOP & 2nd Amendment
In the spirit of pure bipartisanship that is simply for the sake of saying a bill is bipartisan, Speaker of the House, John Boehner said the following when asked if the Senate gun control bill would pass with a majority of HIS OWN FREAKING PARTY not voting for it: “GOP? GOP? I don’t need no steenking GOP to take yer guns!!” Okay, first of all, I paraphrased and secondly he was referring to the Hastert Rule which basically says that any bill without support of the majority party will not be brought to the floor for a vote. But Johnny [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: March 2013
After a long absence, here are your nominees for Useful Idiot of the Month! 1. Mayor Michael Bloomberg: Nominated by your humble administrator, Manhattan Infidel, King Shamus, and Always on Watch. 2. Jim Carrey, by Libertarian Advocate: Nominated for his tired and ridiculous tirade against gun owners. 3. Gordon Wozniac, Nominated by our contributor Jim. Mr. Wozniac wants to tax the internet to save the snail mail. Since we had a limited amount of nominees, I have a couple more… 4. Harry Reid, for suggesting that a Marine training accident was caused by the sequester. 5. Ashley Judd, for teaching [...]
It’s Baaaaack! Useful Idiot of the Month Nomination Thread March 2013
It’s been a while, but I thought that bringing back the CH 2.0′s one claim to fame (or infamy) might be in order. So, the Useful Idiot of the Month Poll has returned. First off, we need to define the term, useful idiot. It was a term, coined by the former Soviet Union (either Lenin or Stalin), to describe leftists in Western countries that supported, knowingly or not, communism. Then, if the communists really did come to power, most of the useful idiots would be imprisoned, killed, exiled, and the like. So, this is the nomination thread for the Useful [...]
Americans Wake with Lower Pay Checks: Obama to Blame
Elections have consequences kids, and one of them is apparently a lower pay check. For all of Obama’s promises to never raise taxes on the middle class, something went wrong. What went wrong, you ask? Well, people believed Obama, that’s what went wrong! Wyblog has more… Apparently a lot of people were complaining about their paychecks being unexpectedly smaller. Here’s the explanation from ADP: The reduced 4.2% rate for employee Social Security taxes that was in effect for 2011 and 2012 has expired. The employee Social Security tax rate will return to 6.2% for 2013 wages up to the taxable [...]
Idiots, Useful And Otherwise
Useful Idiot: a pejorative term used in political jargon to describe people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they do not understand, who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause. “All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” — Adolf Hitler “Evil always wins through the strength of its splendid dupes…” — G.K. Chesterton They’ll never change, these useful idiots of the Left; they never have. When at long last they’re herded to their knees with the rest of us, facing [...]
Jay-Z Almost Realizes That Occupy is Marxist
Rapper Jay-Z seems to be getting that something isn’t quite right with the Occupy Movement, though he still hasn’t connected all the dots. The Blaze has more… “What’s the thing on the wall, what are you fighting for?” Jay-Z said in a recent New York Times magazine interview. “I’m not going to a park and picnic, I have no idea what to do, I don’t know what the fight is about. What do we want, do you know?” he said he asked rap magnate Russel Simmons. His questions for the anti-corporate movement continued: I think all those things need to really declare [...]
We Have a Winner! The Useful Idiot of the Month for May 2012 is…
The Union bosses! It seems that spending money like water for well over a year, sending in goons to intimidate businesses, beat up Tea Party members, getting fake doctor notes, indoctrinating children, and generally making a giant mess of the Wisconsin State capitol, definitely qualifies them for useful idiocy. But, there is the icing on the cake…after all of that, the millions, the goons, the damage to the state capitol, they are still behind the polls mere days before their showdown with Governor Walker! Then, there is the additional irony that the DNC seemed rather hesitant to go all-in with their effort, so, not only did [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Nomination Thread: May 2012
Once again, it is time to nominate a field of worthy nominees for the Useful Idiot of the Month. I’m sure that the readers will have no problems finding a set of nominees for the cause. For those of you who may no be familiar with the concept, a useful idiot is a person or group who, knowingly or not, helps advanced the cause of Marxism/Socialism is a Western country. The Soviets called them that, and unfortunately for the useful idiots, when they got the Communism they so desired, they were most often killed, imprisoned, or just “disappeared.” You see, [...]
Hilary Rosen and Occupods Tie for April Useful Idiot of the Month!
Well, when it comes to useful idiocy, there was an abundance in April of 2012. Hilary Rosen, who protested the “Republican war on women” by attacking the wife of Mitt Romney, was apparently high on the list for the readers. The occupods, and their rapes, vandalism, communism, and bomb making failures, also gained the disdain of the readers. So, there was a tie. Both are most deserving, and if they are successful in their efforts, will be thrown under the bus for their trouble. Congratulations to both for the well deserved recognition!

Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: April 2012
Sorry for the delay folks, but life has been very interesting. But, for once, it’s the really cool and pleasant kind of interesting. But, as the line goes, the show must go on. So, without further ado, here is your Useful Idiot of the Month Poll… In case you noticed, I did something that I almost never do-I did not add a nomination to the poll. To those that nominated either Trayvon Martin or his parents, I must respectfully disagree, and decline. Since the case has not been decided, and that all the evidence is not public, I cannot in good conscience put [...]
Occupy Roundup: Wisconsin Dehumanization, Portland State Adds Revolutionary Marxism Course, Rare Moonbat Sighting
Did everyone think that I would leave #occupy, AKA: the Occupods, alone? Fear not my friends, the indoctrinated moonbats that woke up as confused useful idiots will have no reprieve. There is still a ton of useful idiocy going on out there, and we need to continue displaying it. So, here is the latest in moonbattery… First up, the protesters in Wisconsin have decided that people that disagree with them aren’t even human… Dehumanizing your opposition? I think we know where that leads. Then, we see that Portland State has seen an opportunity to recruit occupods for further indoctrination. In the event [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: March 2012

Useful Idiot of the Month: March 2012 Nomination Thread
It’s that time folks! We have a mission here at the CH2.0. We have to nominate useful idiots for this month’s poll. For those new to this, useful idiots are people that, unwittingly or not, support socialism/Marxism. Then, when Marxists actually come to power, and install a totalitarian state, the useful idiots are usually eliminated. After all, you can’t have idealism interfering with the totalitarianism, can you? It’s happened everywhere a Marxist state has been installed, but, according to the useful idiots, the survivors and witnesses are lying, so it’ll come a big surprise if it happens to them. The process is simple, [...]
Former East German Citizen Warns of Communism
We all know that OWS, and many union bosses are advocates of a Communist revolution here in the US. We also know history, and where that leads. Additionally, we also know, from footage, that Marxists in OWS deny history. However, will another witness help them see the truth? The Blaze recently posted a video, featuring a woman who escaped East Germany in the 80′s. Of course, the truth will not matter to the useful idiots. As our late friend Bezmenov points out, they are programmed to deny reality, and I would argue that they are also programmed to attack anyone who does [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month: February 2012 Nomination Thread
My friends, it is now time to nominate our slate of Useful Idiot of the Month Candidates. If you are new to this, Useful Idiots are people that promote Marxism/Communism/Socialism in Western countries. Their purpose is to destabilize and otherwise cause the system to fail, so a Marxist government can take over. Then, rather unexpectedly, most of the Useful Idiots are killed off by the new order. Why, you ask? Well, the Useful Idiots actually believe in catchphrases like “democracy, equality,” and other code words. However, “social justice,” in actual practice, has nothing to do with justice, democracy, or equality. [...]
Video: Priest Gives ObamaCare Mandates the “Finger”
Teresa, over at Teresamerica, posted the following video. The Priest in the video chronicles the lies Obama had told about ObamaCare, and the mandates therein. Of course, Catholics supported ObamaCare, and like all useful idiots, and are now feeling the sting that comes with being tools for the government. That, and they are now looking up at the bottom of the bus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7vIBN7OCRWw I can only hope that Catholics use this as a teachable moment. They should have learned that… 1. Socialism is based on lies. 2. Socialized ANYTHING IS socialism. 3. Regressive politicians will say anything to get their [...]
Why We Suck
I really don’t have anything to add to this. As usual, Mr. Whittle is eloquent and to the point, so sit back and enjoy learning why we suck. No related posts.
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: January 2012 UPDATE: OCCUPODS WIN AGAIN!
Well. it’s time for the first Useful Idiot of the Month in 2012. The competition will be close, I think, as there were quite a few people that qualify. Here are your candidates, as well as the good people that nominated them. 1. Warren Buffet: Nominated by Nuke, of Nuke Gingrich. 2.

Useful Idiot of the Month: January 2012 Nomination Thread
Wow, 2012 is flying by. Before you know it, it’ll be December 21st, and I’ll busy writing a post, busting the chops of anyone who bought into the whole end of the world thing. It’ll run on 12-22, so stand by for some fun. But, I digress. We have some work to do. It’s the end of the month, and we need to get some useful idiots to put in the monthly poll. Given the news stories from this month, we shouldn’t have a difficult time. For those of you that might be new to this, it’s rather simple. A [...]
Useful Idiot of the Year 2011: This Time, it’s for Keeps
Actually, it’s always for keeps, but it induced just enough drama into the title, did it not? Seriously though, it is time to nominate candidates for Useful Idiot of the Year. For anyone who is new to this, a useful idiot is a person that, knowingly or otherwise, promotes Communism. They were called that by Lenin and Stalin. Their purpose was to destabilize a Western nation in order to create crisis. Then, it was hoped that a Communist regime would be installed to deal with the crisis. Then, most ironically, the useful idiots would be mostly jailed, exiled, or executed. After all, [...]
Occupy and Longshoremen Battle to see who is the Real Useful Idiots
As most of you are already aware, the Occupods are trying to shut down ports, so exports can’t go out, and imports can’t come in. They say that it’s about the evils of capitalism, but the real victims have been the workers at the ports. They got to go home with little to no pay, because the Occupods shut down their workplace. You know, for the 99%! The Lonely Conservative has coverage… Here’s more proof that the Occupiers don’t care about the working class. They vow to continue to block ports, despite pleas from people whose livelihoods depend on their work at [...]
We Have a Winner! The Occupods Win Useful Idiot of the Month!

The Role of Education in OWS
This is an post that I had written some time ago. Observing the activities of the Occupy movement, I thought it needed to be revisited. The quoted article is ten years old, however, it seems to echo what is going on today. From the August 2001 Idaho Observer: Why Our Schools Teach Socialism By Joe Larson Congratulations America: Today there are over 10,000 openly marxist professors and thousands of humanist professors controlling the universities and colleges that produce America’s teachers and other professionals. Varying forms of marxist-humanism are the predominant philosophies of the educational establishment; yet we repeatedly send our [...]
Occupy Wall Street: A Staged, Organized Temper Tantrum?
I’m certain that I’m not the only person that has noticed that the liberals tend to act like petulant children when they “don’t get their way.” One has to look no further than the Occupy Wall Street Crowd to see that point in action. So what’s going on? Why has does the left descend into tantrums when reality intervenes and ruins their plans? Why do they deny others the right to speak by shouting them down? Why do so many adults abandon reason and self-control when life throws a wrench into their works? What happened to the work ethic? [...]
Occupy Wall Street: Former Soviet Citizen Confronts Occupiers, They do not Believe Him
Regular readers here at the CH 2.0 know Yuri Bezmenov. He was among the highest level KGB officials to have ever defected. He explained the process of psychological warfare against the US, using a system referred to as “Active Measures.” I’ve been showing video interviews featuring Bezmenov for a couple of years now, and they continue to show themselves as relevant today as they were in the 1980′s. Essentially, our hard political left is the product of Soviet programming and propaganda. It was guided, instructed, funded, and built with the help of the KGB. It was designed to be self perpetuating, so [...]
Occupy LA Attendee Calls for Violent Revolution, Philadelphia Protesters Deny Deaths Caused by Communism
Over the last few days, I’ve been suggesting that some of the Occupy (insert location here) protesters would be caught advocating for violence, and would deny that millions of people died at the hands of Communists. I suggested that because I had heard it before, and I thought it would be only a matter of time before we saw evidence of that within the Occupy Wall Street movement. Let’s just say that they didn’t disappoint. Here are two videos from Michelle Malkin. The first shows some advocating for violence. Note his use of the French Revolution as a model. I think we have to classify [...]
Anatomy of a Regressive Comment: What is real is apparently untrue
As regulars here at the CH 2.0 are familiar, I sometimes get comments that are of such delusional quality, that they are deserving of their own post. The process is simple: I post the comment in it’s entirety, and have fun poking fun at it. I received one such comment on the recent post about saving the earth by creating a giant mess. Such disgusting manipulative journalism as the article above is not even worth the time to comment on it, but I’ve skimmed over the comments and, alas, dear Sirs and Madams, I am left to draw the sad [...]
Operating on Thinking vs. Feelings, and why it is Potentially Dangerous
Kindly take a view of this video, because it shows something about the hard left that is potentially dangerous. Much has been made of this video in terms of the fact that they rejected the Congressman, who was a hero of the civil rights movement. Ironically, he would have been welcome at a Tea Party event. However, there is a larger point for me to make here. Did you notice how many times the man conducting the meeting asked the assembly how they “felt?” It was a repeated phrase, and it means far more than many of you might know. [...]
Occupy Wall Street Quick Hits: Many Still Don't Know Why They Are There, Some Being Paid, Local Businesses Annoyed, and One Defecates on Police Car
Well, as the Occupy Wall Street Protests continue, the evidence of their useful idiocy continues to grow. Over the last several days, more and more stories emerge that point to what we have been saying all along-that this is a protest filled with foolish characters. Here are some points made by several stories and videos… The protestors say that they are “just like us,” and are represent 99% of people that aren’t “rich.” Now, most of “us” must be white, because, as Michelle Malkin points out, that crowd is awfully white-kinda like MSNBC’s lineup. One thing you won’t hear the MSM harp [...]
A Modest Call to Useful Idiocy: Occupy Wall Street Decoded
As the Occupy (insert location here) folks become more organized, well funded, and infused with union organizers, I would anticipate more sophisticated presentation. In other words, they’ll do a better job of hiding their actual intentions, e.g. communism. Today, I found a perfect example. In their article, A Modest Call to Action, they have some well crafted talking points. Since we know that they are changing the terminology to package their ideas into something more acceptable, and therefore hiding their true meaning and intent, I’ll translate. Here are their talking points, along with the CH 2.0 translation. We need to [...]
Some Thoughts on the "Occupy Wall Street" Protests
I’ve been following the moonbat fest in New York, as well as in other locations, though I haven’t written about them until now. It really started as a non-story, though the MSM and the union bosses seem to be building them up. So, here are some of my thoughts about them. I get the impression that they’ve been coached to be very careful about what they say to the media. Let’s look at some general statements, and the CH 2.0 translation. “Greed”= Communism “A more equitable system”=Communism “Democracy”=Communism “Evil Corporations”=Communism Am I overgeneralizing? Perhaps, but from what I have seen [...]
Herman Cain vs MSNBC: Guess who won?
Covering all of the flooding was necessary, but time consuming, so I want to catch up on some politics. Stacey McCain took a look at a post-debate interview, in which the useful idiots of MSNBC attempted to outmaneuver Herman Cain. Let’s just say that Cain didn’t cooperate… Even when they took a shot at Cain, and went on to the next question, they looked idiotic. They probably even think they “won.” Related posts: Herman Cain Destroys Liberal Troll And so it Begins: Liberals Launch Racist Attacks Against Herman Cain Raising Cain Raising Cain: Wins SC Debate Raising Cain: Political Outsider, or Federal [...]
Are the Verizon Workers Striking Over the Impact of ObamaCare?
Not long after ObamaCare passed, several large companies announced that the then new law would cause their costs to increase to a great degree. Here is my coverage of this fact from April of 2010… If you remember, Henry Waxman promised to force corporate CEOs before his committee to answer for their sins? Their offense? Disclosing that ObamaCare is going to cost businesses billions of dollars. After the ENRON debacle, reforms were put in place. Among them was a requirement that corporations must disclose any adverse event that affects their bottom line. Many companies did just that-they did what the [...]
And we Have a Winner!
Well, I was wondering what was going to happen with the July Poll. When I went to bed, it was a four way tie for first place. Apparently, some intrepid voters came through for our winner, Sheila Jackson-Lee. Ms. Lee played the race card so hard last month, several Chinese cities suffered devastating damage. Also, this marks the first time in Useful Idiot of the Month history that both a politican, and their constituents, have won the award. Congratulations Ms. Lee, you deserve it! Thanks to all that voted, and we’ll see you at the end of the month for more [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: July 2011
July just flew by, didn’t it? But, for as fast as it went, there was a ton of Useful Idiocy to ridicule. I’d like to thank everyone who responded to the call, and nominated a useful idiot. Without further ado, here are your nominees: 1. Sheila Jackson Lee: Lee laid down the race card so hard, that the Chinese felt it. Considering that she was narrowly defeated last month-by her OWN constituents, maybe she has gas in the tank to pull it out for July. 2. David Wu: For pulling a furry Weiner (sorry, had to be said). And now for the obligatory Furry [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month: July 2011 Nomination Thread
Well, it’s time, once again, to take nominations for Useful Idiot of the Month. With the debt ceiling debate going on, there is a wealth of source material out there. So, here’s how it works: The readers make nominations. At the end of the week, I’ll post the poll, and people can vote for their favorite useful idiot. Remember, useful idiots can be idiots, but they also have to be useful to the cause of Communism. Also, the more nominees, the better the poll. So have at it folks, and nominate your favorite Democrat, regressive, or RINO today! Note: [...]
"I'm a Democrat" Parody…or is it?
A whileback, a video circulated on the blogosphere called, “I’m a Democrat.” To make a long story short, it showed a bunch of 20 somethings talking about why they are Democrats useful idiots. But, some didn’t think that was realistic enough, so it has been fixed. See the video below for a more accurate description. Hopefully, this will make your Monday go more smoothly.

Useful Idiot of the Month: People who voted for Sheila Jackson Lee are pretty useful (idiots)
I leave the Useful Idiot of Month Poll at 3:00 AM every 1st, so people on the left coast have until midnight to pick their favorite, or condemn the whole thing as “hate.” When I went to bed last night, there was a deadlock at the top. By all measures of useful idiocy, both were well qualified. However, one intrepid voter caused one candidate to come out on top. And the winner is…. Anyone, living or dead, that ever voted for Sheila Jackson Lee! You heard it here folks! Anyone, who would willingly vote for Rep. Lee has to have [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: June 2011
Well folks, it’s a rather interesting poll, as only two readers have nominated anyone other than the three that I had mentioned. So, to establish a broader field, I’ll add a few more. So, here are your nominees for Useful Idiot of the Month. 1. Sheila Jackson Lee: For suggesting that “Christian Militants” are far more dangerous that Radical Islamists. 2. Brooklyn/Queens Chapter of NOW: For standing by their man, Anthony Weiner, and his twitterific weiner. 3. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: After her many gaffes, she might not be useful, but it isn’t for a lack of trying. 4. Ed Schultz: For creative [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month: June 2011 Nomination Thread
Man, did June fly by us, or what? Perhaps it was WeinerGate, or maybe Obama’s poll numbers, but something made June go like a “progressive” in the night. At any rate, it’s time for nominations for Useful Idiot of the Month. For those of you that are new to this, we spend some time nominating people for the award, and then use the last few days of the month to vote via a poll. Lenin used the term “useful idiots” to describe people in Western Nations that supported Communism. Of course, if the Communists ever took over, most of the useful idiots [...]
Beck wins Again: Socialist Admits Cooperation with Muslim Brotherhood in "Arab Spring"
Remember how the left snickered when Beck suggested that socialists and Islamic radicals were cooperating in the “Arab Spring?” Here is a video I found at the blog of our good friend, the Mind Numbed Robot. http://youtu.be/PdI0A1KLKmM Did you note the intent against Israel, and the socialist jargon that is thrown in? Here is something I wrote on this situation last week. On the surface, it would seem that this union, made in the lowest pits of hell, might be mutually exploitative, with each side using the other as useful idiots. However, there might be another way to look at it. Both Islam and Marxism [...]
Profiles in Useful Idiocy: Meghan McCain Blames Sarah Palin for her Failed Love Life
One of the nominees for Useful Idiot of the Month is Meghan McCain. The daughter of John McCain, Meghan’s Conservative bashing has made her a darling of the MSM. In other words, she’s a massive RINO. Following in the MSM’s footsteps of blaming Sarah Palin for everything bad that happens in the world, she has gone as far as to blame Palin for her failed love life. The Other McCain has the details… In addition to being a celebrity heiress dilettante, Meghan is also the kind of Republican who can be counted on to badmouth conservatives — the only kind [...]
Classic Conservative Hideout: Individual Rights Vs. The Collective
When we speak about the rights of the individual, we are saying something very different than the left’s view of the topic. Our founders carefully crafted a Constitution that is designed to protect us from the excesses of government. However, a sufficient percentage of the people have not guarded those rights against government intrusion, until just recently. Those excesses are readily apparent in our country today: federal control of education, health care, environmental law, interference with personal property rights, and a litany of others, all in violation of the spirit of the Constitution and it’s writers, interfere with the everyday [...]
HuffPo Bloggers as Useful Idiots?
RS McCain has an interesting article about the “Progressive Community” at the Huffington Post. Apparently, this “community” consisted of bloggers that contributed large amounts of content to the HuffPo…all unpaid. When Ariana sold the HuffPo for a mint (God only knows why AOL paid so much), the “progressive community” got nada, nothing, zilch. Same deal with the dipsticks who are now suing HuffPo: Today, a group of bloggers led by union organizer and journalist Jonathan Tasini filed a class-action suit against the Huffington Post, founder Arianna Huffington, and AOL, which acquired the news-and-blogs site in February. Tasini, the lead plaintiff, [...]
Projection Revisited: We do it too, and we need to stop
In the past, I have discussed how the left engages in a great deal of projection. Simply put, projection is the act of applying one’s own attributes and motives onto others. For example, a thief may assume that others steal. The cheater assumes that others cheat, and so on. It is a general tendency for humans to see the world through the lenses of their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. So, in a sense, one can see a picture of another’s world based on the blind accusations or false assumptions that they make about others. This tendency makes it very [...]
More on the Fate of Useful Idiots
After republishing Yuri Bezmenov’s videos, I decided to see if there were more. I found another that expands on destablization. Disclaimer: Conjecture follows What sticks out for me is how very well this all compares to what is happening now. There have been outside influences “inserted” into our society. Whether it is Move On, Think Regress, organized labor, the organizations formerly known as ACORN, Common Cause, ACLU, SPLC, and so on, all are designed to disrupt and destroy our Republic. These organizations are causing disorder, and are simply making our free society increasingly impossible to function. Any of the organizations [...]
The Fate of the Useful Idiots Redux
As I have watched rank and file union members join in common cause with Marxists, Socialists, and other components of the rent-a-mob, I am reminded of this post from December… I’ve been seeing some repeating themes as of late. We have the hard left calling for the revolution. We have people on our side lamenting the fact that there are millions of Americans that have not seen Obama and the left for what they really are. That, in spite of overwhelming evidence, we didn’t win both houses of Congress by record margins. And that Obama has any approval rating at [...]

I’m a bit late getting the poll and post up, but here it is. Here is a breakdown of their worthiness: Nancy Pelosi- Self explanatory Valerie Jarret-From Always on Watch In his biography of Obama, “The Bridge,” David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, quotes White House senior adviser and longtime Obama friend Valerie Jarrett: “I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. … He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — [...]
And We Have Winner!
My friends, democracy took it’s course, and we have a winner for the Useful Idiot of the Month! October’s winner is, of course NPR, or as it should now be called, National “Progressive” Radio, especially since it seems so willing to take money from the evil billionaire, George Soro. The act that prompted their nomination and win, of course, was the firing of Juan Williams. We’ll not rehash that, as it’s been covered to death, and FOX has taken very good care of Mr. Williams. So, let’s have some last minute fun before the election, and have an open thread. Topic: What should the [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month: September 2010
Here we go folks! Here’s the first post in the new Useful Idiot of the Month format. The idea is simple. The readers nominate Useful Idiots, and I add them to the poll. Some General Ideas: 1. Did the prospective useful idiots do anything to undermine our Republic? 2. Did they say something showing complete ignorance of our nation’s founding principals? You get the idea. So have at it, and I’ll put up the poll on Wednesday. Related posts: Ten Buck Fridays Poll: September 19-24, 2010 Vote for the Useful Idiot of the Month!!

Site News: Blog Roll,Useful Idiot of the Month, and Thanks
I’ve been making some changes to the site as of late. One concentration has been to improve the load speed. So there are less images, and most of the advertising is concentrated on the main page. (let’s face it, I am, after all, a free-market capitalist!) Another concern is how to take care of the people that link here. The blog roll, believe it or not, was actually slowing the site down. So, I have moved the blogroll to it’s own page, and added another feed-read blogroll for all other pages. It looks cleaner, and demands less system resources. As for the Useful [...]
Leftist Abuses and Bias on Campus
The following is quoted from Campus Reform. This is what Conservatives commonly face on campuses across the country. Click here to take a survey of these common abuses. Leftist Control on Campus Overwhelmingly leftist faculty. Overwhelmingly leftist administrators who actively suppress conservative activities and refuse to address grievances from students who suffer persecution for their conservative beliefs. Leftist domination of most student government associations. Leftist domination of “student courts” which decide issues regarding student government actions and persecute students for activities in behalf of conservative principles. Leftist Indoctrination on Campus Large numbers of courses presented that explicitly in their catalog [...]
Organizing for Amerika's New Weapon: Seminar Callers
I’m working on some more serious posts, but the left keeps throwing softballs. Earlier this month, it was announced that David Plouffe, the man responsible for Obama’s on-line efforts during his election campaign, has returned to his post. Here is a review of what he did during the primary and general elections. Of course, Team Obama web-based efforts continue as a high priority… and this seems to include a comprehensive and organized effort to control political discourse on the Internet-with a disciplined message and Obamamania cheerleading, coupled with Alinsky-style attacks and diversions when useful. And anyone reading message boards these days [...]
New Year, New Useful Idiots?
So, it’s 2010, and we’ve got a whole lot of work ahead of us. One of the tasks here is to get the Useful Idiot list updated. I’ll be getting the January 2010 poll up in the next few days, so If you have ideas, additions, deletions, and so forth, drop a comment! Congrats again to Nancy Pelosi for squeaking out a victory over the POTUS. Main Image Credit: Joe at Right Wing Rebel. Here’s his original image… Related posts: We Have a Winner!

Beware of the Trolls: Is Liberal Troll Activity Increasing?
Back in my days on various Conservative forums, I was trying to warn others about liberals either being paid trolls, or engaging in false flag operations. That is the basis for the troll policy here at the CH 2.0. If you are not familiar, I basically do not allow trolls. I have no desire to waste time on someone that wants me to waste time on them. For more on my take regarding liberal trolls, take a look at this, or this. The liberals have not stopped their trolling activities. If anything, they have likely stepped up their activities. Here’s [...]
The Envelope Please….
The winner for Useful Idiot of the Year for 2009 is…. The people have spoken, and, in fact, Nancy won quite a few times this year. Insuring her place in the history of useful idiocy. Congratulations Nancy, you deserve it. But just remember the fate of useful idiots! Once the socialists take over complete power, the useful idiots are no longer useful to them!

MSM Bailout?
The MSM is dying. It’s been happening for some time. The Internet, changing habits, and alternate news sources have all taken its toll on media (print in particular). This has gotten attention from Washington, and the latest foray into bailing out the MSM has come from Henry Waxman, as discussed here at Accuracy in Media. Rep. Henry Waxman trekked from Capitol Hill to Federal Trade Commission headquarters today to deliver a message to journalists and news consumers: All of you need to reach a consensus about working with the government in order to bail out the struggling news industry.
