I’m not going to bullshit anyone. And I won’t pretend there was any glimmer of hope in the combination of yesterday’s SCOTUS rulings on SSM. Taken together, a one or two person decision effectively completed, in the juridical sense, fundamental tranformation. Nutshell: In the ruling against DOMA, Kennedy essentially decreed that the definition of marriage as it’s always stood is bigoted; those who “defend” it defend hate, therefore. This means

The power of the Left’s narrative [Darleen Click]
From Pravda media to academia to the Obama Administration’s minions, I’m not surprised Half of all voters consider radical Muslims the bigger terrorist threat facing the nation, but supporters of President Obama consider the Tea Party to be as big a danger. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters consider radical Muslims to be the bigger threat to the United States today. Thirteen

SCOTUS rulings: thoughts and open thread [Darleen Click]
My admittedly non-lawyer thoughts, based on what I’ve been reading and hearing not from the invested Left narrators … The essence of the DOMA ruling was that the Fed has no business telling states how they should define marriage, but accept for federal benefits what is legal marriage per each individual state. Just how it will effect a same-sex couple from, say, Alabama who goes and gets married in Massachusetts

RIP Richard Matheson [Darleen Click]
Another great writer, whose works populated my coming of age, has died Richard Matheson, who has died aged 87, was an American writer whose many short stories, novels, screenplays and television scripts were among the most significant and original works of horror and fantasy of the last century. His two best-known novels, I am Legend (1954) and The Shrinking Man (1956), were both filmed – the first three times –

“‘Power of ridicule’ – New weapon against climate deniers”
They shamed you with a racism that wasn’t yours but that nevertheless belonged to “your heritage”, so why shouldn’t they believe they can shame you into following the faux-scientific, global wealth redistribution plan cooked up by transnational progressivists and “enforced” but zealous, ill-informed true believers, liberal status seekers, and other various and sundry useful idiots? SPI: As President Obama readies his program to curb greenhouse gases, climate change action advocates

Meet the GOP Senators who ceded voter registration and community outreach responsibility to progressive activist groups
One again, here are the Republican Senators, a few of whom will now vote against the final bill (hoping we’ll fall for their gambit), who voted to sell out the American people — wages will be depressed, the Black community will see even greater unemployment, and certain red states will have been demographically manipulated to go blue as a result of this, ensuring a bigger federal government and a more

Meet the GOP Senators who ceded discretionary control of border security to leftist Executive appointee Janet Napolitano
Gang of 8 members: John McCain Lindsey Graham Jeff Flake (whom I gave money to. And congrats, Arizona! That’s a GOP two-fer in a state that the federal government overran in court with respect to laws its citizens wanted!)

“Doctors Already Make More Than Enough Money” [Darleen Click]
Journalist Margot Sanger-Katz just says Shut-up It’s not like physicians can’t get a haircut. Doctors recently absorbed a 2 percent pay reduction, their first in a decade, when the sequester kicked in. Industry consultants have seen few major ripple effects. “There are a lot of scare tactics going on,” says Martin Gaynor, a health economist at Carnegie-Mellon University. Gaynor doesn’t endorse the big, all-at-once hit that would ensue if Congress
