Sadly the blame rhetoric is continuing today from the left. It’s ironic that as they decry toxic rhetoric, they are contributing to. It is this kind of talk that divides us and promotes hatred. All morning I watched on the news as various Democrat politicians sought to blame conservatives for the shootings yesterday. Here is […]

My wife mentioned to me one evening that Herman Cain was going to be in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Saturday, January 8th to talk with a small group of people. So I e-mailed the organizer and next thing I know, I’m sitting down with The Hermanator for a 10 minute one-on-one interview. — So what […]

From Olby: “Violence, or the threat of violence, has no place in our Democracy, and I apologize for and repudiate any act or any thing in my past that may have even inadvertently encouraged violence. Because for whatever else each of us may be, we all are Americans.” Good try, I must say, although the […]

Just a few stories that caught my eye this week, whether I blogged them or not. Click the link under each picture if you need a little explanation. Link: Future of Capitalism. Link: The TrogloPundit. Link: The MacIver Institute. Link: GoDaddy Bowl. Link: Left Coast Rebel. Link: Michelle Malkin. Link: The Other McCain. Previously: This […]

I’m praying for everyone involved. See the full report: “Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot by Gunman at Townhall Event in Tucson – Progressives Blame Sarah Palin ‘Hit List’.” While Firedoglake and other progressive blogs are implicating Sarah Palin in the assault … … diarists at Daily Kos are frantically scrubbing posts announcing that Rep. Giffords was […]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker. It may not be quite as glorious a phrase as “Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the incoming chairman of the House Budget Committee,” but it’s up there. Anyway, this was the single best line (I thought) from Governor Walker’s inauguration speech on Monday: Article I, Section 22 […]

Ed Driscoll blogs: The Onion goofs on “Revamped WPA To Create 50,000 New Jobs By Disassembling, Reassembling Hoover Dam.” Which is, by the way, a great idea. Think of the stimulus effects! As one of Ace’s co-bloggers notes, “Keynesian ‘stimulus’ in one easy lesson.” Keynsianism doesn’t exactly call for this kind of thing: general Keynsianism […]

The culture of entitlement is an ugly thing (in more ways than one). Paul Mason has stuffed himself full of food for years, eating ten times the calorie intake of a healthy person. While it sounds like NHS has been its typical slow, bureaucratic self in scheduling his surgery, there’s no excuse for his lawsuit […]

Dana Milbank, writing in the Washington Post, offers a voice to a widespread complaint. The reasonable observer cannot help but entertain the notion Mr. Milbank is also offering a semblance of substance to a complaint, that in reality has none. What the Republican majority decided to read [in the House of Representatives] was a sanitized […]

Listen to this discussion with Keith Olbermann and Yale political scientist Akhil Reed Amar. Progressives despise limited government, a concept that never leaves the lips of either of these men. The full entry is here:” Progressives Want to Read Slavery Back Into Constitution.” Additional commentary at American Power.
