It seems the anarchists are organizing. Wait, what? Yes, it seems that the people who supposedly want a “state or society without government or law” are very upset at the racist, homophobic, libertarian, anti-Semite, Alex Jones conspiracy theorist, Ron Paul supporting, fascist, conservative, gun freak, militia men, constitutionalist Tea Partiers. Why? Because these anarchists don’t want to lose their government entitlements. Huh?
Hullabaloo, a Liberal blog, posted a little gem: ”There were no MRIs in 1780.” Ignoring the fact that the United States had not yet forced Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown in 1780 (and hence, no Articles of Confederation, let alone a Constitution, had been ratified), the line of reasoning by the author is sophomoric at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. Nowhere in the constitution does | Read More »
While I had been thinking about something like this for several weeks, the document that follows was very much inspired by Nessa’s diary of a few days ago. I’m not declaring it to be the official RedState Resolves (I’m fairly certain that Erick Erickson and the rest of the Mods would have something to say about that!). This is intended as my statement of Grievances | Read More »
You can always trust the government to pull an Orwell and regularly use words that mean the opposite of their political meaning. Take “Non-Discretionary Spending,” for example. What is, by its nature, the most discretionary part of our budget, social programs like Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, are called “non-discretionary.” The money that funds what our government is meant to do, that is, the courts, regulatory | Read More »
Jamie Dupree has compiled a list of 186 earmarks, their sponsor and the amount as part of a Homeland Security Appropriations bill already approved by the House. If you don’t follow Jamie on Twitter or read his blog regularly, you’re missing out on some very interesting stories in Washington. Anyway, I pulled out my spreadsheet software and did a little math: These 186 earmarks total | Read More »
In an interview with CNS News at the premier of his new film, Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore was quoted making the following statement: CNSNews.com then asked Moore: “Critics would say he’s [Moore] been very successful under a capitalist system. How would you justify making a movie where you paint capitalism as evil?” Moore said: “Well, capitalism did nothing for me, starting with my | Read More »
Let’s take a trip in the way-back machine. It’s 1981. Ronald Wilson Reagan is President. The Conservative Revolution has just begun. Millions of Americans have awakened to the idea that government is not the solution to their problems, but rather government is the problem. Teachers, in an effort to spread this message, have their kids chant a poem: Mmm, mmm, mmm Ronald Wilson Reagan He | Read More »
The National Research Council and Institute of Medicine put out a report about fast food and minority neighborhoods, so of course I took all that astroturf money I’ve been earning and spent $32.40 to read it. Or not. I did, however, get to see this CNS News article about it. “One of things that has been shown in studies all across the country is that | Read More »
Remember that right-wing domestic terrorism assessment the Administration released earlier this year, then backed away from? Seems they didn’t back away far enough. According to the AP:
I went to my doctor on Wednesday. No, not the local public clinic. No, not a Doc-in-a-Box. I went to my General Practitioner (also known as “Family Doctor”). I found my experience strangely profound. You see, I’d recently watched Steven Crowder’s video on Canadian Health Care. If you haven’t seen it and aren’t interested in watching (you should watch it), I’ll tell you how it | Read More »
