Margaret Sanger, call your office. This is not specifically an anti-abortion rant, this is about a morally repugnant “panel of ethicists” in the UK stating that there is no moral difference between abortion prior to birth and murdering babies after birth because they are “morally irrelevant”. I guess I should be thankful that they have…
Although this pains me, I shall go against my nature. Yesterday, I read a post that disturbed me greatly. So much so, that I lost my temper…. Here it is: ” No, I don’t support our troops, why would I? “It’s patriotic to support our troops!” I can understand if you feel like that, but allow…
Do you remember when those “evil religious zealots” said that changing the definition of marriage to appease the demands of homosexuals would place us on the slippery slope toward pedophilia and bestiality and you laughed? The “social conservatives” said these different groups would use the same arguments as the homosexuals to demand their “rights,” but…
I was told I am too serious and have no sense of humor and needed to write something to prove otherwise. I was also told not to be long-winded. So, just to prove I have a “short” sense of humor: And now that I did as “SHE” commanded, I guess I belong in the lineup:…
As a lover of liberty and freedom as defined in the Declaration of Independence, perhaps my mindset just cannot allow me to accept the outcome of the collectivist mentality of the “progressive” ideology. “Progressivism” is preached as a path to Utopia, to a place where everybody is made equal, that all wants and desires are…
While I was in Australia doing evil things for my evil corporate masters in the oil and gas industry last week, I saw TurboTax Timmy’s assertion that the “rich” must pay more taxes for the “privilege of being American“. Being that what he said is so completely and diametrically opposed to traditional views of liberty…
Somehow, with the Republicans tripping over themselves on the way to losing an election that should be an easy win, I find myself feeling a little like the dogs in this report. Gotta hand it to the Bulgarians, no modern veterinarian medicine needed here… Exposed: The cruel dog-spinning ritual to ‘ward off rabies’ that is…
Did you see this? If you only watch the “Lame Stream Media,” you probably haven’t heard anything about this. Oh, sure, this group is full of itself. The government isn’t worried about them. Well, maybe the NSA has been warning about them, and the DHS seems to be worried. SO other than these…
…For the next sixty seconds, this station will conduct a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. This is only a test. Funny test question answers from funnyexam.com via the UK Sun…
This is a very interesting take on Obamacare and something that we have discussed here, the Law of Unintended Consequences. Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: I must admit that until I heard this argument from the Institute for Justice, I never considered the implications of ObamaCare requiring individuals to sign contracts for insurance coverage. …
The Detroit News reports that the Santorum campaign robocalls Democrats for support in Michigan primary: That’s right. The former Pennsylvania senator’s campaign paid for a robocall asking Democrats to vote for him in Tuesday’s primary. Recent polls show chief rival and Michigan native Mitt Romney and Santorum virtually even heading into the primary. “We know…
In what is for me a “Oh, my God! I can’t believe I’m reading this correctly” moment, I just read the most ridiculous defense of Obama’s economic accomplishments by none other than Juan Williams. I respect Mr. Williams and consider him to be a man of integrity and honor…but even men of honor and integrity…
I think that most you who read my posts would agree that while being unabashedly on the political right, I’m generally low key and even sometimes reasonable – so you may find what follows a bit shocking. People make fun of Beck and others when they bring up the Marxist revolution that is happening right…
On February 11, Binyamin Appelbaum and Robert Gebeloff of the New York Times wrote an article, the thesis of which was this: “if you have ever taken one dime of federal money, you can never legitimately argue against shrinking government”. The title of the article says it all – Even Critics of Safety Net Increasingly…
So at another site I had a comment on my Faith post which went down “something” like this: V: Why didn’t you include Islam in your bar joke? Kells: Oh, the Muslim went to a different bar with something strapped to his chest and we’ve neither seen him nor the bar since. V: Ouch. I’m…
On what must be officially “What The Hell Were We Thinking Day”, Louis R. Lombardi over at Legal Insurrection shares my sentiments expressed in my last post and many of the others here at TRNL: With the backlash to the ever growing power of the federal government and its increased dominance in our lives, one…
There are two editorials in today’s Financial Times, one by the editorial staff of the paper and one by Lawrence Summers, former chief economic adviser to President Obama. Both are of similar subject matter as both notes the need for an overhaul of the tax system in the United States. These articles are written, the…
Updated… Doug responds and since I am currently leaving Perth, Australia to get back to Scotland and won’t have access to Al Gore’s greatest invention for a while, please take Doug up on commenting on his gracious explanation why I was wrong until I can get back online. I don’t normally promote many comments to…
Remember the Peter Principle? The Peter Principle, formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, states that “in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence”, meaning that employees tend to be promoted until they reach a position in which they cannot work competently.…
Or as TRNL readers and Homer Simpson would say, “Doh!” From the TaxProf Blog: The Telegraph, 50p Tax Rate ‘Failing to Boost Revenues’: The Treasury received £10.35 billion in income tax payments from those paying by self-assessment last month, a drop of £509 million compared with January 2011. Most other taxes produced higher revenues over…
