Excerpt Of The Day: It Is Cliche, Not Plagiarism, That Is The Problem With Our Stilted, Room-Temperature Political Discourse

“It is cliché, not plagiarism, that is the problem with our stilted, room-temperature political discourse. It used to be that thinking people would say, with at least a shred of pride, that their own convictions would not shrink to fit on a label or on a bumper sticker. But now it seems that the more […]

 

Who Is The Divisive One? By Jay Reding

Another interesting nugget that defies the conventional wisdom comes from the latest Pew poll.. The poll finds that more Democrats support McCain than Republicans support Obama, a finding that doesn’t surprise me. What does surprise me is this: A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in […]

 


The Clintons’ Dastardly Monty Python Reference

Have you heard about Hillary Clinton’s latest outrageous racist smear against Barack Obama and a small child? Here’s Ann Althouse (among many others) on the latest Hillary Clinton commercial, “Why are the letters ‘NIG’ on the child’s pajamas?” Asks a commenter — “Tom” — on my post about the new Hillary Clinton commercial, the one […]

 


I Think It’s Time To Ask: Will Barack Obama Institute A Draft?

During the 2004 elections, liberals claimed over and over again that George Bush was going to institute a draft. They never provided any evidence that he intended to do that and moreover, George Bush and other Republicans said, over and over again, that they were absolutely opposed to a draft. In fact, the only people […]

Will Hillary Drop Out After Tuesday’s Primaries?

The International Herald Tribune reports: WASHINGTON: Top supporters of Senator Barack Obama, joined by at least one prominent but uncommitted Democrat, raised the pressure Sunday on Senator Hillary Clinton to bow out of the presidential nominating race if she fails to score clear victories in two big-state primary contests Tuesday. “I just think that D-Day […]

 

Sometimes you can just over-analyze something

And that seems to be the case with a bunch of feminists who got together to discuss Hillary, Barack, progressive politics and the state of feminism for The Nation. First noting that while they were “diverse”, they were still all “progressive” (yay for that), but they wondered why it was that the selection process for […]

 

Looking Toward The General Election

The day of doom is upon Hillary Clinton. Here in Texas, her strength is in doubt. If I’m to believe the local news reports, Obama’s messianic message (not) taps a deep well here and he has solid support in the cities. I’m not thinking about March 5 right now. It almost doesn’t matter. Clinton and […]

 


John McCain’s Catch-22

John McCain is in a terrible Catch-22. He has gotten this far in his political career by punching conservatives in the teeth for the amusement of the mainstream media, which has repaid him for the entertainment by treating him with kid gloves and hyping him as a principled maverick. But now that McCain has captured […]

 


Rumor: FISA Deal Reached in the House

There is a rumor floating around thats got the hard left upset. To break an impasse over legislation overhauling the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, House Democratic leaders are considering the option of taking up a Senate-passed FISA bill in stages, congressional sources said today. Under the plan, the House would vote separately on the first […]

 

When does personal responsibility end?

Today, I’ve got an interesting question. On the right, you tend to hear a lot about the virtue of personal responsibility. We stress it and emphasize it to seemingly no end. But at what point, if any, does personal responsibility end? The parents of Amanda Jax have filed a lawsuit against a nightclub Jax attended […]

The Bridge to Nowhere

David Ignatius at the Washington Post as whether Barack Obama is really a “bridge builder” who can reach across party lines and heal divisions. Not unless a bridge only has one end. Obama had the most liberal voting record of any Senator in 2007. (Gina Cobb’s website is here.)

 




Q&A Friday: Favorite Movie Lines

Question: “My friends and I are total movie geeks. To the point where we routinely use lines (some of them deliberately obscure) from movies in everyday conversation. For example: If one of my boys says he needs somebody to help him move, the proper response would be: I’m your huckleberry. (Doc Holiday, Tombstone) Anywhoo, my […]

Q&A Friday #85: Liberals And Gun Control

Question: “What, in your estimation, will it take for 2nd Amendment loathing liberals to finally grasp the concept that banning guns is an ineffective policy?” — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: If liberals cared about whether the policies they supported worked or not, they’d end up dropping 90% of their agenda. Whether gun control works or not is […]
