The most recent circling of the liberal wagons involves the somewhat apologetic excuses for the brewing IRS scandal. In an absolutely classic case of liberal twisting of logic and facts, the victims (the groups targeted for extra scrutiny) are now the scapegoats and the perpetrators (the IRS) are the low-level victims of a conservative assault on campaign finance laws. What is a poor IRS official | Read More »
I awoke from my slumber or ignorance or avoidance of MSNBC a little while ago and started watching “The Cycle.” If any reader here wants a good laugh, then I wholeheartedly suggest you watch this mindless liberal drivel that is supposed to pass for political discourse. There are four panelists, one of whom is a woman named Krystal Ball. According to her biography, she is | Read More »
There is a tremendous effort these days on college campuses across the Nation to stifle free speech. More specifically, it is an attempt to stifle speech that college and university administrations has deemed to be offensive or unworthy of dialogue in an educational setting. Fortunately, states like Virginia and most recently Utah are fighting back against these self-appointed guardians of appropriate speech on campus. I | Read More »
In the first part, I suggested that the GOP transform into and set forth the message that they are the party of individual opportunity and responsibility. Within those contexts, there can be room for disagreement. This part deals with the unfortunate herd mentality that defines politics today. Too often when a party fails, they look at which group or other where the message or the | Read More »
The decision of Pope Benedict to leave the papacy has caught many Vatican watchers and experts by surprise. The decision to step down is based on his health although one would never really believe it given that peculiar class of human being- the liberal talking head. The detractors are usually of a few types. There are the so-called experts in Catholicism who view the religion | Read More »
One of the biggest and most unfortunate outcomes of the liberal welfare state which, according to Obama’s inaugural speech is his vision of America, is the growth of bureaucracy. The Washington Post recently ran an article titled, “The One the Republicans Let Get Away,” which was about former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels. While steeling the state against the recession, Daniels managed to cut taxes, attract | Read More »
I recently read a rather interesting article by someone named Kathleen Geier, a writer for among other outlets, the Washington Monthly, DailyKos and Huffington Post. In it, she has allegedly “decoded” allegedly Republican/conservative phrases. These, she argues, are designed to confuse the recipients of conservative messages because, after all, it is only liberals and Democrats who avoid double-speak and who speak clearly and truthfully to | Read More »
Suffice to say, for the second consecutive cycle, the Republicans blew gaining control of the Senate and deposing Harry Reid as Majority Leader and, thus, setting the legislative agenda in the upper chamber of Congress. Although the GOP gained a seat out of Nebraska, that was a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately, the Republican Party lost key races in Wisconsin and North Dakota and failed to defend | Read More »
On Election Day, as I was following the returns from around the country on Politico (I was following all the races, not just President), somewhere on the lower part of their list of articles was one entitled, “The Real Winner: More Gridlock.” This was published before any votes had been tallied and was the consensus of political “experts.” This was based on an assumption that | Read More »
And so, not 24 hours after Barack Obama’s universally panned performance in the first debate against Mitt Romney and continuing to this day, he resorts to a well-worn theme that defines not only his candidacy, but his tenure as president. In a feeble attempt at damage control, Obama has rallied around the theme that Romney lied, was misleading, or mischaracterized his own positions. Harry Reid | Read More »
