We Should Support The Libyan People, But Not With Our Troops

Posted on February 28, 2011February 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

Muammar Gaddafi is a tyrant, he has American blood on his hands — and he’s just plain old evil. What will follow him in Libya is a mystery, but he’s such a monster, it’s hard not to root for his people to get rid of him. That being said, there’s a difference between giving the […]

“Phasing Out” Social Security: That’s a World Class Dumb Idea

Posted on February 28, 2011February 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

So, I’m reading CNN and I run across this line, “Many conservatives have long argued that in order to keep Social Security solvent, it must be modified. One popular idea is to transform the program into a private savings account. Yet others call for its outright elimination.” This prompted an eye roll. After all, who’s […]

Posted on February 28, 2011February 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

No matter how low you think the political Left will sink, your imagination can never quite keep up with how vile they actually turn out to be: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is circulating a number of clips to reporters suggesting that Sen.

The Mainstream Media’s Eternal Kathleen Parker Dilemma

Posted on February 28, 2011 by John Hawkins

CNN’s Parker-Spitzer is now just “Spitzer,” I guess, after Kathleen Parker unceremoniously exited stage left. John Ziegler cuts to the heart of the matter in explaining why the show was doomed from the start: But the primary reason why the program couldn’t work is also the very reason Parker got the gig in the first […]

Posted on February 27, 2011February 28, 2011 by Brian Garst

Eric Holder’s DoJ is not interested in prosecuting the Black Panthers, but they are pulling out the stops to take out a rising star in the Republican Party – Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

Update: Sacramento Union Thug Attacks Tea Party-er, and Lies to Local TV

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Jane Jamison

“What Do You Have To Offer Them If They Do Man Up?”

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Morgan Freeberg

Dr. Helen, who is Mrs. Instapundit, makes an interesting point about incentives with regard to that Kay Hymowitz book everyone’s been talking about lately: What would happen if a regular Joe, not an alpha male, came into class and gave his true opinion about the topics at hand, say in a psychology or sociology class? […]

“The Rise of the Adolescent Mind”

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Morgan Freeberg

It is a mark of maturity — and, sadly, in our modern age a rare one that is diminishing into nothingness before our eyes — to visualize a possible improvement to a situation, and yet simultaneously concede that there’s no great transgression being committed while we’re waiting for the improvement to come about; no gross […]

“Attitude of Gratitude”

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Morgan Freeberg

Caroline Baum finishes strong and I supposed I shouldn’t excerpt that part of it, but hey. It’s a wonderful column that just might save your weekend, that happens to have been put together upside-down. The final note is a perfect summary for all that came before. For every number homegrown America-haters spit out to show […]

National Education Association to Double Members’ Dues Spent on Politics

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Even as it tops the list of organizations spending money on political causes, the National Education Association (NEA) is planning to double the amount of its members’ dues spent on politics so that it can spend yet more on political campaigns — and all left-wing causes to boot.

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Beer Tab Economics: How We All Lose With The Tax Code

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Ten friends decided that they would pay for their bar tab the way they pay their taxes. The first $100 beer tab was paid like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing The fifth would pay $1 The sixth would pay $3 The seventh would pay $7 The eighth would pay $12 […]

Wisconsin’s largest teachers’ union is an extremely profitable insurance business that just happens to support education on the side

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Doug Ross

With All This Global Warming Induced Cold, Check Your Car For Rats

Posted on February 27, 2011 by William Teach

Let’s go with something a little more light hearted this Sunday morning, unless, that is, you yourself have had this problem, causing you to be late to work, and then you can blame yourself for driving a fossil fueled vehicle which creates cold weather due to greenhouse gases or something When the weather turns cold, […]

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Jane Jamison

Celebrations that the oil was quickly “dispersed” and “gone” after the capping of the British Petroleum spill may have been premature. It may take decades to assess the damages and to recover.

Posted on February 27, 2011February 27, 2011 by Jane Jamison

California Gov’t Unions Waste Millions Fighting for Health Care Contracts

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Jane Jamison

In California, big government labor unions like the SEIU are making so many millions of dollars by forcing employee membership, that they are increasingly becoming embroiled in huge, expensive litigations over anything and everything.

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Jenn Q. Public

Originally posted at NewsReal … The patriarchy is afoot! How else to explain the feminist Left’s conspicuously absent outrage after a male union member assaulted FreedomWorks staffer Tabitha Hale in Washington, D.C. this week? As steadfast defenders of women, surely feminists spoke out about this act of aggression against a 5′ 1″ woman and her […]

TSA wants your DNA

I’ll bet you thought the TSA’s “enhanced” patdown procedures could not possibly get more invasive. Think again. Beginning this summer TSA will start collecting travelers’ DNA.

Who are the dictators, here?

Posted on February 26, 2011 by TrogloPundit

This… …is such a common accusation in Madison today that one hardly notices anymore. Not that a Lefty calling a conservative “dictator” is new. To the Left, a “dictator” is a conservative who won an election. But: who, exactly, are the dictators here? In a dictatorship, there is no authority higher than the will of […]

Treehugger Shows What A Post Fossil Fueled World Looks Like

Posted on February 26, 2011February 26, 2011 by William Teach

This one’s a hoot: A Graphic Video Demonstration of Life After The Kunstlerian Decline of a World Dependent on Oil (and if someone could tell me what a “Kunstlerian Decline” actually is, that would be great, since the only occurrence of that phrase is linked to this same Treehugger story). Unfortunately, there is little to […]

Posted on February 26, 2011 by William Teach
