Petty RI Gov. Bans Talk Radio Appearances for State Workers
Lincoln Chafee was the bane of conservative talk radio when he was the RINO Senator from Rhode Island. Now that he is a newly minted “independent” and has become the Governor of the Ocean State, Chafee is in a position to take his revenge on the medium. And boy has this petty man used his […]

The Violent Fantasies of the Progressive Left
The problem here isn’t really about “civility” or being nice, it’s about accuracy and not treating your audience like you respect them. — Matthew Yglesias Accuracy? On January 8th Yglesias was among the very first progressives to allege Sarah Palin’s responsibility for the shooting in Tucson. And by now the one thing we know with […]

When Even Excitable Charles Blow Thinks The Left Went Nuts With Their Blamestorming…
…Then most assuredly, they did. Charles calls his op-ed The Tucson Witch Hunt, and he believes the Left was way off base, and, consider, this comes from a super liberal with his head in the sand, who says later in the article I have written about violent rhetoric before, and I’m convinced that it’s poisonous […]

Oh, Noes! Climate Change Could Have Helped The Roman Empire Fall!
Obviously, this must have huge implications for Earth’s nations today, because OMG WE’RE ALL GOING TO…..well, something. Alarmists are never quite sure what will actually happen, but, something will, usually involving very specific words like “Might,” “may”, “possibly,” and “could” (via Jammie Wearing Fool) Some House Democrats blamed their defeat in November’s midterm elections partly […]

NH Republican Establishment Working Against Tea Party Candidate?
And so it begins. Now that the 2010 midterms are done and the Tea Party has shown itself to be a real political force, the GOP establishment is making plans to undermine Tea Party power and reassert its own RINO, country club control of the party. It’s happening in New Hampshire, anyway, as it seems […]

Model of Deliberative Democracy: Gabrielle Giffords
During my first few days of the semester this week I was afforded an unusual opportunity to engage in a discussion on “deliberative democracy,” the theme of my textbook, from Joseph Bessette and John Pitney, American Government and Politics: Deliberation, Democracy, and Citizenship. And as announced by the publisher, a key element of the the […]

Slate Plays Loose With Facts Over Concealed Carrier’s Arizona Actions
Contrary to Senator Moynihan’s proclamation, Slate’s William Saletan thinks he’s entitled to his own facts. If not his own facts, then his own version of history at any rate. Anti-Second Amendment Saletan dreamed up his own little set of incidents and actions in order to castigate pro-Second Amendment supporters by claiming that something that didn’t […]

Union Boss: Yeah We’ll Talk, But Go Our Way or You’re a ‘Human Rights Violator’
As President Obama clucks his tongue at America for “pointing fingers” and “assigning blame” in our political debate, and as his friends on the far left ignore him and point their fingers and assign blame to the Republicans, Tea Partiers, and Sarah Palin, at least one union chief in Detroit is doing his part to […]

Crook County Illinois: Fake State Rep Casts Deciding Vote to Raise Our Taxes
She didn’t know anything about the bill. She never read it. She hadn’t been given any cheat sheets, facts sheets, talking points, or mass emails on the bill. But in true, corrupt Chicago fashion, she voted “yes” on it just as she was told to do by her corrupt party bosses. Even worse, she was […]

GOP Push To Repeal ObamaCare Will Resume Next Week
Via the Washington Post, which reports that it will happen with a so-called ‘more civil tone’ (hat tip): House Republican leaders said Thursday that they will begin their effort to repeal the new health-care law next week, a return to normal legislative business after the shootings in Arizona suspended activity on Capitol Hill. But no […]

Spike Lee Declares America to Be the Most Violent Country in History
Never mind the Aztecs with their assembly line human sacrifices. Never mind the Nazis making people into lampshades, Mao’s China stacking up corpses by the tens of millions, or the nightmarish atrocities that occur in hellholes like Rwanda and Sudan. The most violent society in the history of the world is the United States of […]

MSNBC Exonerates Jared Loughner
Jared Loughner almost certainly had never heard of Sarah Palin back in 2007 when he first developed the psychotic fixation on Gabrielle Giffords that climaxed in mass murder. He did not follow the news, and there is no evidence whatsoever that he was motivated in any way by any conservative. But that’s not going to […]

Fish Wrap: Military Needs To Go Green To Save Lives
And not just anyone a the NY Times, but, a retired Army Brigadier General, Steven M.

Which is why I personally like […]

Carolyn McCarthy’s Gun Bill Sneakily Restrictive
Remember back to the earlier part of the week, when we were discussing what kind of handgun bill would be introduced by Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), she had said she wanted something common sense, that wouldn’t get the NRA in her face. That notion went right out the window with her proposed legislation The fiercest gun-control […]

This Week In Quotes: Jan 7 – Jan 13
Gun control is too simple a phrase to define all the complications and nuances of it, frankly. In Arizona they have a wide open system. I would be nervous about going into a bar or restaurant in Arizona on a Saturday night where people can carry concealed without permits. — Tom Brokaw When you look […]

‘I Love You Phillip Morris’ Doesn’t Provide Enough to Love
When Hollywood says something is a true story, do you believe it in full? If you do you may be under the age of twelve. If not you have likely seen enough films to realize that filmmakers like to change the truth quite often. Look at The Social Network from earlier this year. While it’s […]

Rep. Peter King Attempts to Exploit Tucson Shootings With Nonsensical Gun Restrictions
Not all threats to our liberty come from Democrats. Rep. Peter King (R-NY) has distinguished himself for his strong stand against Islamic terrorism and his open contempt for the New York Times. Yet he lines up behind leftist congresscritters like Carolyn McCarthy and Robert Brady to exploit the Tucson Massacre as yet another opportunity to […]

Twin Boys Butchered for Not Being Girls

Yet this is where abortion leads: This couple are so desperate for a baby girl that they terminated twin boys and are fighting to choose the sex of their next child. The couple, who have three sons and still grieve for a daughter […]

The President’s Speech in Arizona
The President’s speech last night on the tragedy in Arizona was very good. He said all the right things. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful. The crowd, on the other hand, was completely inappropriate and wrong. It would be fine to cheer the fact that the Congresswoman who was shot had opened her eyes. We […]
