Lib Fascism Chapt 3 “Woodrow Wilson and the Birth of Liberal Fascism” Favorite chapter quote (from pg 88): “Indeed, the ink from Wilson’s pen regularly exudes the odor of what we today call the living Constitution.” When discussing the threat of any totalitarian threat coming to America, someone inevitably cries, “It can’t happen here.” Yet, according to Goldberg, it already has. It came in the | Read More »
“Adolph Hitler: Man of the Left” Favorite Chapter Quote: ”Meanwhile, the contention that industrialists and other fat cats were pulling Hitler’s strings from behind the scenes has also been banished to the province of aging Marxists, nostalgic for paradigms lost.” Pg 58 [Favorite Chapter Quote from Chapter One, “Mussolini: The Father of Fascism”: Speaking of where Mussolini might land in 1904 after being labeled an | Read More »
Liberal Fascism: A Discussion of the book by Jonah Goldberg Intro and Chapter One Jonah Goldberg repeatedly, almost ad nauseum, provides caveats that he is not calling any contemporary (liberal) figure a genocidal dictator, a Nazi, a murderer or a rascist. I’m only going to say it once. I’m reviewing the precepts contained in an important book. If I think someone is a Nazi or | Read More »
This morning on Fox and Friends (Aug 20) Ed Rendell got religion as he lectured us about how the Bible says we are our brother’s keeper (which of course means we need to support Nobamacare). Uh, correction Gov. Cain asked God ”Am ‘I’ my brother’s keeper?” when God wanted to know where Able was (Cain had murdered him.) It has come to symbolize the need to | Read More »
Al Gore is a giant windbag. Maybe he will become the next source of “alternative” energy, because it certainly should not be ethanol. Like most questions of environmental policy, a failed politician cum disastermonger is really the wrong person to listen to regarding serious discussions of economic reality, or any other kind of reality for that matter. Ethanol is one such reality which, when examined closely, more | Read More »
O.K. We’ve heard it a thousand times. So, let’s say it all together now: “The U.S. uses 25% of the earth’s energy, but represents only six percent of its’ population.” And now, a moment of silence for our horrid selfishness and greed….that’s enough. A couple of things come to mind almost immediately. The U.S. also produces 25% of the world’s goods and services. Not to | Read More »
Maybe the problem is that many people cannot believe it will ever happen here, or if it does, it will be “that bad.” It’s easy to take freedom for granted and complacency is obviously a human trait shared by all at some point. I remember after 9/11 how people flocked to churches and synagogues (and to mosques, too, I guess, but for a different reason.) | Read More »
What has happened to our country in the last 40 years is magical, and not in a good way. Not in the sense of joyous wonder with mysitical underpinnings. But in the sense of how have so many of our cherished beliefs and traditions been so thoroughly trashed in so short a time and with such totality in the public mind? Now, I’ll admit that | Read More »
I don’t know if this is legal or not, but I’m sure the people behind the curtain at RS will let me know, one way or the other. The following comment is too good to pass up. It was posted by Proud2bAmerican as a reponse to an article in the online version of the WT entitled, Panel votes for probe of ‘extremist’ report Bipartisan move calls | Read More »
The one missing ingredient which most often results in effectuation of the law of unintended consequences (LOUC) is human behavior. When new cars came out with anti-lock brake systems, it was heralded as a breakthrough in the advancement of automobile safety. Thousands of lives would be saved, so it was thought, because cars could now stop far more quickly and safely than before. There was | Read More »
O.K. boys and girls of Red State, let’s play that exciting new PC parlour game: “Who’s the Racist?”! Man #1 is an adult Caucasian male who works for his father’s comapny. His dad owns and maintains very low rent housing units (the owner of which is sometimes known as a “slumlord.”) He will inherit this property (and the tidy earnings pertaining thereto) when his conservative father passes | Read More »
The United States is quickly becoming Detroit writ large. Detroit was a one horse town, but with a huge, profitable horse. So naturally, being located in a liberal, Democratic state, the formerly private enterprise of manufacturing cars for profit, became a cash cow for all comers – government at the local, state and federal levels, unions, shakedown artists of all varieties, etc. The once Big Three were assaulted | Read More »
Liberals pay attention. In Huntsville, AL, right now, a primer is being written on exactly how to take a beautiful, pleasant Southern city and turn it into Detroit South. The Huntsville Housing Authority (HHA) bought a luxury apartment complex in an affluent neigborhood, is evicting the residents, and plans to move in denizens of an inner city housing project. Since this abortion was performed by members | Read More »
Let me begin by admitting that I stole the Air Diva tag from Michelle Malkin’s recent column on this subject. The divine Miss M (Michelle) hit the nail on the head regarding Queen Nancy’s hypocrisy. Ms Malkin expounded on San Farancisco’s blatantly anti-military stance while it’s most powerful citizen demands that the Air Force act as her personal air chaffeur service. She actually requested that the | Read More »
Let’s see. Back in days of BC (Before Clinton), being “rich” was defined as earning at least a million dollars a year. During the actual epoch of the “Man from Hope,” it went down to $500K or so. During the OC (Obama Campaign) it was variously $250K, $200K or thereabouts. Now, so I’ve heard, it’s around $170K. I suppose before long, if the current trend | Read More »
OK all you wise guys at redstate, I’m doin’ the crowin’ now. Remember when you called me a reactionary for opposing Specter back in the day? Remember when we suggested putting our faith (and money) behind his Repub opponent in the primaries? Oh no, the big wheels at redstate counseled, he’s really on our side. We really need him in the crunch. Well gentlemen, crunch | Read More »
