This Week In Quotes: July 23 – July 29

Posted on by John Hawkins

That’s why the “Political Class” — the Gee Aren’t I Terribly Enlightened? crowd — opposes (building a fence). They talk about that a lot — the symbolism of the thing.

Tom Tancredo Is Blowing It For Conservatives In Colorado

Posted on by John Hawkins

Despite the fact that he has a disturbing tendency to go over-the-top and say dumb things on occasion, I have a great deal of respect for Tom Tancredo. Had Tanc not picked up the banner and led the charge on illegals early in the game, it’s entirely possible that comprehensive immigration reform would be the […]

 

Cries Of Racism Are Now Mostly About Politics, Not Race.

Posted on by John Hawkins

If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them – Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares – and call them racists. — Spencer Ackerman Tainting the tea party movement with the charge […]

 

Seven Deceptive Mainstream Media Techniques

Posted on by John Hawkins

Just a few decades ago journalism in this country was actually about reporting the facts. Yes, journalists may have leaned to the Left, but at least reporters made an effort to be fair.

This Week In Quotes: July 16 – July 21

Posted on by John Hawkins

Posted on by John Hawkins

It’s fascinating to see Shirley Sherrod being lionized as some sort of hero because after she racially discriminated against a white farmer, she had a change of heart.

A Window Into The World Of The Mainstream Media: False Charges Of Racism & Burying Stories To Help Democrats

Posted on by John Hawkins

There’s a reason talk radio, Fox, and the blogosphere have taken off in recent years: it’s because the mainstream media in this country is largely comprised of left-wing hacks who view their jobs, first and foremost, as promoting liberalism, not reporting the news.
