You Can’t Teach Them If They Won’t Learn
Everything I dislike about left-wing protesters can be found in this video by Ann Althouse and her husband. Here’s the set-up. Ann and Meade, who have been covering the teachers’ union protests in Madison, WI this week, found that one group had stuck a bunch of their posters and signs on the back of a [...]
The Dream Police, They Coming to Give You Health Care, Oh No!
Well, this is certainly a novel defense of Obamacare. Unfortunately for us, it was made by a federal judge and now has the binding power of law until a higher judge can strike it down for the codswallop it is. As previous Commerce Clause cases have all involved physical activity, as opposed to mental activity, [...]
Look Out Darryl! The Keyboard Commandos Are After You!
I guess if you don’t like what the messenger is about to say, you can always attack the messenger. Wait, did I say attack? What I meant was clumsily threaten and intimidate. Democrats are understandably obsessed with Darrell Issa — he’s built himself up as a one-man investigative machine aimed straight at the Obama presidency. But [...]
Chomsky: The Republican Victory Means Our Doom
At some point we will stop thinking of Noam Chomsky as a leading intellectual and start thinking of him as a doddering old fool who has soaked so long in progressive politics that his once-formidable mind has gone soft as a down pillow. “There’s other factors like the anger, and the fear and hostility in [...]
We’ll Fix Social Security Over Their Dead Political Careers, And I’m Okay with That
In the coming budget battle, a growing number of Democrats have chosen a side — against the American people. The battle lines are forming within the Democratic Party over the charged question of reforming Social Security in the days leading up to President Obama’s State of the Union address. Liberals, such as Sen. Bernie Sanders [...]
Don’t Let the Progressive “Rhetoric” Talk Distract You. It’s a Ruse.
I should not have to say that a mass murder and attempted assassination by a wackjob who did everything to advertise his wackjobbery short of renting the Goodyear Blimp had nothing to do with political discourse, but it appears I must. Even before we knew Jared Loughner’s name, members of the progressive commentariat and the [...]
Chuck Schumer: Weasel or Jerk?
This kind of stuff ticks me off. On “Good Morning America” Monday, host George Stephanopoulos asked Sen. Charles Schumer how well he thought Barack Obama is working with Congress and what advice he’d give the president. Schumer advised Obama against dealing with the “hard right,” arguing conservative Republicans aim to set the nation back centuries. [...]
President Barack Obama: Truly a Uniter, Not A Divider
Leave it to Barack Obama to unite right, middle, and left in opposition to perhaps the only real political compromise he’s made during his administration. Today, the left almost literally exploded with rage at what they see as a scurrilous betrayal of perhaps the President’s most important campaign promise to them. Their anger wasn’t even [...]
That’s What You Said
