Over at: the Corner, David French: made a brilliant point about something that has become one of the central problems of governing America in an opulent age of runaway partisanship, infinite niches and a fractured society. Over at the Daily Beast, Megan McArdle has a long, bleakly realistic piece explaining why there’s little we can do – […]

After the Newtown massacre, some conservatives were worried: that even the NRA might cave on gun control in its press conference today. In actuality, there was never anything to worry about. After all, if the NRA caves on guns, what good would it be? Now, we must speak … for the safety of our nation’s children. […]

As you may have noticed by the fact that you’re still alive, the Mayan Apocalypse didn’t happen. That may be good news unless you did something: unfortunate without a condom last night because you thought the world was about to end.

Right after the Newtown massacre, Democrats were all geared up to grab some guns – as if making it harder for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves is going to discourage criminals or lunatics.

Obviously, we don’t want people being prosecuted for insults, jokes, and offensive statements, but: you shouldn’t be able to break the law with impunity because you’re online either.

There are no “Blue Dog” Democrats in Congress; there are only Democrats in tough districts who are afraid to show their true colors. Remember Bart Stupak and his gang of pro-life Democrats? He made a big public show of opposing Obamacare because it used taxpayer money to fund abortions. Then, it turned out the liberals […]

In order to pass any new gun control laws, every Democrat would have to vote for it and 17 Republicans in the House would have to cave. Any Republican in the House who caves on gun control might as well switch parties at the same time because his career in the GOP is over. Therefore, […]

Michael is a left-wing fascist who hates this country with every fiber of his being. Want evidence beyond all the other things he’s said over the years?
