And by “fuzzy,” I of course mean, “Jesus, does this fucking moron have even the first idea how a market economy works? Or does she think money just magically appears by way of sweetheart deals and IPO tipoffs?” “Pelosi: Extending Unemployment Benefits Would Create ‘600,000 Jobs’”: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that extending unemployment benefits would add “600,000 jobs to our economy.” She also said that the money

Rich Lowry, “Run, Newt, Run! Gingrich 2008?,” National Review, 2006: The old conventional wisdom about Gingrich was that we wouldn’t have him to kick around anymore. The new conventional wisdom is that he’s back, and he’s doing the kicking. Ousted by his own party after its losses in the 1998 midterm elections, Gingrich has reestablished himself as a party leader through sheer intellectual energy. He has had something intelligent to

Mission? To find and silence those scientists and skeptics who have put in peril attempts by transnational progressives to use phony climate science as a model for international wealth redistribution and, ultimately, a centralized world-governmental power that transcends individual state sovereignty. By seizing their property and clamping down on “denier” dissent. — Which, I was kinda hoping for a US/UK alliance that would take the fight to, say, Iran, or

Tyranny is on the march. Which is to be expected, in a post-constitutional society, where we have surrendered the idea of co-equal branches of government, and turned our representative system over to appointed philosopher kings who are able, from the bench, to insist on tax increases to feed the needs of the state: In her ruling, Denver District Court Judge Sheila Rappaport said that the State funding system of K-12

Doug Ross, “The Horrifying Chart That Democrats and RINOs Don’t Want You to See”. Notes Doug, We have two missions: to politically obliterate the Marxist Left that has subsumed the empty husk of the Democrat Party; and to continue our hostile takeover of the Republican Party, in order to return it to its Reagan-esque roots. We have no choice if we are to save this Republic. Sorry, Doug, but the

When you wake up to headlines like these — “Editorial: Romney is GOP’s best choice” (Washington Examiner); “Huntsman jumps into 3d in New Hampshire” (IBD) — it’s time you begin accepting reality: the conservative movement, lately made manifest in the rise of the TEA Party, has been successfully infiltrated and overtaken by establishment GOP organizers who have learned to speak as if they are conservative, all while selling the base

It’s an aboriginal thing. You wouldn’t understand. And what’s more — you aren’t allowed to understand, because understanding itself belongs to individual identity groups, with attempts by racial/ethnic/ outsiders dismissed as the colonialist Gaze of the Other, and with dissent from the officially-sanctioned group narrative by certain members of the group itself dismissed as the illegitimate squawking of non-authentic members who can then be written off as either race-traitors, or

Presented without comment, because honestly, what’s to say? This is the time we live in — where people know the pieties their to mouth, yet they believe in nothing greater than themselves, and when they think no one of importance is watching, they act precisely that way. (h/t afs)

1. Label yourself a “Realpolitik Wilsonian.” Wilson being a Progressive’s progressive, and “Realpolitik” being the political label for “pragmatist.” 2. When given the opportunity to choose the greatest 20th-century President, go with the author of the New Deal — the man whose manipulations of the SCOTUS gave us an unstoppable Commerce Clause, the man whose economic policies extended the Great Depression, and the man whose Administration propelled the growth and

Once again, I marvel at the blindness, not of the leftists — they know well what it is they’re doing, and they’re more than happy to unleash useful idiots to carry out their political messaging — but rather by rightwing opinion leaders who keep falling back on attempts to shame the left into acting responsibly, as if a good chastisement is all that’s necessary to force statists back into the
