Re-posted from August 28th 2011: There is a reason that the debate over federal spending reform evokes such raw and visceral emotions both in the recipients of any one of the entitlement programs and the “protectors” of any of these programs (that have existed since the Great Depression). As with many of our contemporary problems,…
If I could have one wish today, it would be that everyone in this nation would take 8 minutes and watch this video…
Re-posted from September 10th in honor of our new friend, @warrioress… I’ve been tiring of beating up on Obama over the past few weeks and now that the conventions are over, I think I’m going to take a bit of a break from that and focus once again on the underpinnings of his political beliefs.…
Re-posted from January 9, 2012… Jay Nordlinger, writing at National Review Online: The last two presidential election cycles have revealed a stinking hypocrisy in conservatives: They profess their love of capitalism and entrepreneurship, but when offered a real capitalist and entrepreneur, they go, “Eek, a mouse!” And they tear him down in proud social-democrat fashion.…
Today I passed on some links to a girlfriend of mine, and she turned them into a very funny post which I thought I would share. (Sorry, G., no Hillary lesbo jokes….) Here we go then: If you think Fox News is indoctrinating people but virtually every other mainstream news media is informing them, you…
I have a friend at another site that I blog at whom I’m very fond of. I got to meet him in person this summer. His name is Michael. Michael is a veteran and suffers from PTSD. He wanted this message spread, and I’ll happily oblige. Not because he has an infectious laugh; I just…
…except that it is. I’m damned if I can even figure this one out. Krugs writes that the reporting that the race is close is misleading and irresponsible and then goes on to state that the race is close because Ohio is tied and Romney may well win…but its not that close…or something. More important,…
…by Joel Engel at Legal Insurrection, Before the Election: Some Questions From a Liberal Former Liberal: If this coming election is about anything, it’s about the clash between modern liberalism and classical liberalism: more government versus less. So to those who proudly consider themselves liberal and progressive, and want to see the country become more…
There are no American tanks here: David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign, dismissed on Sunday the notion that Mitt Romney is making Pennsylvania competitive as the GOP presidential nominee heads there later in the day. “They understand that they’re in deep trouble,” Axelrod said on “Fox News Sunday.” “They’ve tried…
feel free to comment, don’t be shy….but read it all afore ye do. The election is 2 days away; already the lawyers are at the gates, on the starting blocks, writs in hand. The election will be decided by one vote, Justice Anthony Kennedy’s. Right-wingers are practically salivating over the Benghazi affair, as it might…
Yes, you heard me. Racism is dead. The liberals killed it. Unfortunately, they didn’t actually end racism – what they did was to trivialize the charge of racism to the point that it is absolutely meaningless. Similar to how the term “Xerox” in the dark ages of business morphed from the name of a specific copy machine…
To achieve hope and change, they must be preceded by vision and hard work. First the NY Daily News: America’s heart, soul, brains and muscle — the middle- and working-class people who make this nation great — have been beset for too long by sapping economic decline. So, too, New York breadwinners and families. Paychecks are shrunken…
Somewhat unsurprisingly, I share the analysis of Zombie: Which left many people scratching their heads. Why wasn’t there one? For either candidate? In Mitt Romney’s case, the answer is pretty obvious: He’s squeaky clean. His entire adult life has been like a boring treatise on Mormon moral rectitude. His political career has long been an open book…
