Originally posted at David Horowitz’s NewsReal … Like any socially conscious steward of Mother Earth, I have minimum standards when it comes to sex. I want my hookers sustainable, my porn carbon neutral, and my sex toys handcrafted from renewable resources. I don’t care if you’re heterosexual or homosexual as long as you’re eco-sexual. Tell […]
I’ve noticed lately that radical progressives get particularly pissed when you call them out as nihilist. I discussed this recently in a lengthy essay, “Anti-Intellectualism and the Marxist Idea.” At issue there were some of the objections of BJ Keefe from September, and he reissued them just last week, and I responded again, “Navigating Past […]
The warnings were all there.: Just sixteen months ago we learned that Cuba was running out of one of the most important and basic family commodities. The Communist dictatorship, in the grip of a serious economic crisis, was running short of toilet paper and couldn’t get sufficient supplies until the end of the year. Now […]
It’s very easy for Obamacare supporters to scoff at the whole idea that there are “death panels” ensconced in Obama’s health care power grab. But the fact of the matter is that they exist in a defacto form. One of those defacto death panels is the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), an agency invented under […]
Are the wheels coming off the bus, or are we witnessing the most brilliant, and dangerous, political theater in our life times? Here’s what it looked like a few days ago: the President caved on maintaining the current tax rate, leaving Republicans triumphant. In exchange, it seemed as if the Republicans were extending unemployment benefits, […]
Cross-posted from NewsReal Blog Ron Radosh is on a roll over at his blog at Pajamas Media. He’s nailed it with his last three posts. Let’s start with the most recent and work our way back. First, yesterday Ron published, “TNR and the Crisis of The American Intellectual: Can the Old Liberal Stalwart Play a […]
And just minutes before, while in route to the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium, Prince Charles joked, “Hopefully we’ll be able to brave our way through, get there and be all right.” Added: From Glenn Reynolds, “ANARCHY IN THE U.K.” And at WSJ, “Violent Protests Follow U.K. Fee Vote.” Cross-posted from American Power.

It turns out that the young man who hung on the Union Jack flag in order to climb a cenotaph dedicated to the dead of WWI, a cenotaph that has inscribed on it in large letters “the glorious dead,” has apologized, claiming he knew not what he did. Hogwash. First of all, any halfway civilized […]
Most Americans would imagine that if a homeowner is accosted in her own home by an outsider, the homeowner would be justified in arming herself. In fact, most Americans would think it a right… seeing as how there’s that whole Second Amendment and all. Well apparently there are neither any Americans nor any supporters of […]
America’s enemies certainly find undignified places to hide. Remember Saddam Hussein’s spider hole? Julian Assange found a still more unsavory sanctuary — a British club for journalists: The Frontline Club in London is the kind of place where war correspondents and investigative reporters mingle with admirers and wannabes, fired by a shared passion for exposing […]
Deliberately infecting others with HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS, is a particularly evil act — but not according to the baby butchers of Planned Parenthood or the wannabe one-world rulers of the United Nations: A new campaign seeks to eliminate disclosure laws which require HIV positive individuals to inform their sex partners of […]
Arrogance is an ugly thing. But it seems that Grayslake School Board Superintendent Ellen Correll has it in spades. Not only did she and four other board members vote to increase its tax levy on the community, but she also announced that she used federal “stimulus” money to dole out raises and bonuses to teachers […]
Life can be tough when you break the law. The people who murdered Annie Mae Aquash discovered this fact when they were arrested and tried for murder 35 years after killing Aquash. Sara Jane Olson, an SLA terrorist during the 1970s, discovered that when her quiet, suburban life in Minnesota was revealed and she spent […]
For people who say they are all about freedom and expression and tolerance, they sure show none, especially during the Christmas season A nativity scene that has been sitting in front of the Franklin County Courthouse for more than 50 years is under fire from an atheist group. The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation is […]
A bit of fluff for a Friday morning It goes without saying that conservatives and liberals don’t see the world in the same way. Now, research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln suggests that is exactly, and quite literally, the case. In a new study, UNL researchers measured both liberals’ and conservatives’ reaction to “gaze cues” […]
You’ve heard the same arguments many times over, haven’t you? Conservative: I’m pretty skeptical of global warming. Global Warming Alarmist: YOU HATE SCIENCE! POLAR BEARS WILL DIE BECAUSE OF YOU! Conservative: Okay, give me some scientific evidence that proves global warming is occurring? Global Warming Alarmist: There’s a scientific consensus it’s occurring! Conservative: “Scientific consensus” […]
Liberalism In 120 Seconds: Know who’s awesome? Sarah Palin…and that’s why they hate her.
It is a statistical impossibility that the group of Katie Courics, Contessa Brewers, Keith Olbermanns, et al. have never in their lives gotten unexpectedly and unwantedly pregnant. So what are they all really mocking Bristol Palin for? Not that she became pregnant out of wedlock; at least 35% of them (if not more) have gotten […]
This is one of Iran’s medium-range missiles, which it is placing on Venezuelan soil according to a November 25, 2010 report in Die Welt. The same report asserts that Venezuela will permit Iran to open a military facility staffed with Iranian missile officers and soldiers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Medium-range missiles launched from this […]
For some odd reason, Sarah Palin causes liberal elites to rabidly foam at the mouth. Professor William Jacobson of the blog Legal Insurrection wrote an insightful piece about how conservatives seem to reflexively defend Palin, because liberals seem to be perpetually attacking her. Furthermore, not only do liberals seem to revel in finding weird reasons […]
From UK’s Metro Festivities are facing a white-out with the return of snow next week and Arctic conditions set to continue beyond the 25th. It means drivers are being warned not to travel in the run-up to Christmas, when millions hit the roads to visit relatives or to do last-minute shopping. Chaos across the transport […]
There is nothing more dangerous than a party that is about to lose power but still has temporary control of the reins of government. That is, of course, what we call the lame duck session of congress — more like a zombie congress; dead men walking… or sitting as the case may be. It has […]
The government is over spent. This single fact is beyond dispute. Even Democrats say so. We have but to recall that Democrat after Democrat attempted to run for office this last election by claiming fealty to small government, cost cutting, and lower spending. So with all this small government/low spending fever sweeping the political classes, […]
I only wish this story were a spoof on the eagerness of our rulers to play into the hands of our worst enemies: According to a press release by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the organization recently completed training for 2,200 officers charged with protecting our nation’s air security. According to the release, the […]
Liberalism promises everything you want at someone else’s expense, hooking the unscrupulous on the opiate of government largesse. The problem, as Margaret Thatcher famously pointed out, is that eventually socialists run out of other people’s money. That’s when the withdrawal symptoms set in — including violent tantrums by Big Government’s beneficiaries: Police with riot shields […]
From another member of the enlightened, tolerant left: From: Kyle Lindskog [klindsko@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2010 6:51 PM To: Donald Douglas Subject: Elizabeth Edwards Mr. Douglas, People like you make me sick. You consider it a flaw that Ms. Edwards omitted “God” from her final correspondence? No. She is to be praised for this. […]
The Dream Act passed the House last night. You didn’t even know it was being voted on? That seems to be the way of this congress. Obviously Reid was rushing this through before the new saner congress comes in in January. He didn’t even allow hearings on it. As I posted before, The Dream Act […]
That’s what the moonbats at Grist want to know. After a long, long, long recitation of all the evils in Big Sex (you just know they’ll have to call it that soon), they come up with Individuals selling sex to others is, of course, just a small part of the sex economy. Far from being […]
Hey, imagine what could be done with $450 million dollars if given to Americans. 90 million $5 meals at a fast food joint. 15 million coats for those in need during this cold winter. Every citizen in the US could buy two candy bars. Or, we could just give it away to China Top Democratic […]
