Liberals, conservatives, values and how we perceive each other
By: Bill S (Diary) | March 28th at 09:00 AM |
Another day, another book I need to buy and hopefully read some day. In the March 21st NYT, Nicholas Kristof reviews a new book: ”The Righteous Mind”. In it, author Jonathan Haidt discusses some original research that investigates some key values held by conservatives and liberals – and how these two groups perceive each other on these values. I have long been interested in why | Read More »
Herman Cain Singlehandedly Revives an Old Stereotype
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 17th at 02:22 PM |
The other day, Herman Cain said if he was in charge of defending our borders, he’d build a twenty foot high wall, put barbed wire on the top, electrify it, and put a big sign on it that read “if you touch this, you will die!” On Sunday, asked about it by the dimwit who replaced Tim Russert, Cain said he was joking. The media | Read More »
Harry Reid: The New Walter Mondale
By: Bill S (Diary) | August 2nd at 09:21 PM |
Back in the good old days, referring to a liberal as “tax and spend” was considered an insulting accusation – one that Democrats avoided, deflected and denied. All except poor Walter Mondale. Back in 1984, for some reason, Mondale thought that telling Americans that he was going to raise taxes would somehow be considered a good thing to do. Of course we know the | Read More »
Osama Bin Laden’s Death: Proving Liberals Really Don’t Mean Their Rhetoric
By: Melissa Clouthier (Diary) | May 2nd at 04:04 PM |
Osama Bin Laden died and no liberals cried…for him. If they cried, it was tears of joy. Just like the rest of America. When the rubber meets the road, liberals aren’t crying that: Intelligence gathered, probably via “enhanced interrogation” in a secret prison (or if you’re a liberal, torture), lead to Osama’s death. Justice meant a targeted assassination aka capital punishment A country’s boundaries were | Read More »
Anatomy of a Hatchet Job
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | January 16th at 06:30 PM |
Newark Star-Ledger columnist Tom Moran has an op-ed today that very well may be the most disingenuous editorial thus far written on New Jersey Governor Chris Chrtistie. Titled “The Anatomy of an $11 Billion Myth in New Jersey,” The piece makes wildly inaccurate claims about Christie’s fiscal year 2011 budget, falsely alleges that Christie has made false claims about his budget, and attempts to pin | Read More »
Lame Demagogue Session
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | December 2nd at 09:00 AM |
Republicans’ votes against Obamacare were actually votes in favor of retaining employer-based health care coverage…Rather, it is the Democrats who are tainted with the hypocrisy with which they accuse their opponents. Democrats have not reacted well to the “shellacking” voters administered to the party at the polls earlier this month. Far from doing any soul searching or introspection of any kind, Democrats embarked on a | Read More »

Let Chris be Christie
By: Mark Impomeni (Diary) | July 27th at 09:00 AM |
Mark Levin has a Facebook post that takes a critical look at some comments New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made in his appearance on This Week this past Sunday. Levin is concerned that Christie is soft on immigration and Obamacare. “Regarding the former, he sounds like John McCain three years ago. ‘Commonsense path to citizenship.’ Regarding the latter, the cost of joining with the other | Read More »

The Left: Misogyny Apologists Under the Guise of Tolerance
By: Lori Ziganto (Diary) | May 10th at 12:20 PM |
The Left constantly claims the mantle of being Pro-Women’s Rights. Yet, they prove time and time again that it is lip service only. In fact, they are often either misogynists or misogyny apologists themselves, all in the name of some sort of call for a perverted version of “diversity” and “tolerance.” They’ve recently gone so far as to condone genital mutilation. They have defended child | Read More »

Congress is Taxation Without Representation
By: Warner Todd Huston (Diary) | July 20th at 04:59 AM |
We are speeding headlong toward a time when our Congress will have become just like Mad King George’s Parliament, that body from which in 1776 the American colonists separated with the rallying cry of “no taxation without representation.” Our national government is fast becoming just as unrepresentative of the people as far off Briton was when we went to war to become the United States | Read More »
