One of the things that’s going on in the posts below, dealing with interpretation and signification and intention, is that people are asking, “Who is to judge?” And that’s an interesting question, for all of us. On the part of the left, of course, that is the person who is most aggrieved, by and large, which is a matter apart from who is victimized, although that distinction seems a bit

Over at American Power, Donald Douglas has up a post that places in historical perspective the amoral anti-seriousness of the left. What amazes me is that they will search for hidden meanings in code words for their ideological opponents at home, while rationalizing and apologizing for the forthright and unequivocal statements of hatred towards our allies and intended harm towards us they find among our enemies abroad.

Via Dan Riehl: Cartoon Obama, bankers at your beck, wonder how you’ll manage to wreck the rest. (aka Captain O!merdica) Faustina lente: Mark Joey Hairplugs’ words, he’ll be tested early on.
