protein wisdom is not a conservative site, as conservative sites go. It is not a leftist site, nor a “liberal” site — at least, not in the current sense of the word. It is not a moderate site. And it is not a “libertarian” site. In fact, protein wisdom counts among its detractors conservatives — social, “realist,” and paleo — “liberals,” leftists, progressives, moderates, and libertarians. Which means it enjoys

We’ve had this debate on “feminism” before — I even invited in representatives of many of the big feminist blogs to make their cases — and I’m sad to say McCain is wrong here: to be classically liberal is to be a feminist, and this is not some sort of “me-too” feminism, but rather actual feminism, of the first wave variety. Belief in equality of opportunity — and an equality

…I’m not sure this is in keeping with the official Shirley Sherrod narrative. The Progressive Committee on Condemnations in the service of Teachable Moments has called an emergency session to figure out how to address such unscrupulousness.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers; A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? Because part of that peck belongs to Blacks, women, gays, Hispanics, the transgendered, and others who have been traditionally discriminated against, and so — in order to rectify the effects of such discrimination — are deserving

Pardon me for once again wading into the racial waters — after all, doing so is notoriously unhelpful to the Tea Party movement (at least, that’s what I’ve been told, and so I apologize for my part in destroying the country by taking the focus of Paul Ryan momentarily) — but it seems to me that Mr Obama’s dubious descriptor for racial makeup, in addition to being decidedly fraught (especially

WSJ: The immigration debate is reviving the explosive idea of denying citizenship to children born on U.S. soil if their parents are in the country illegally. A U.S. senator and a state lawmaker in Arizona, both central players in the battle over immigration law, separately proposed this week that “birthright” citizenship be denied to the children of illegal immigrants. They said the change would help stem the flood of illegal

Which, awesome! Can’t wait to get the transcripts from that cross examination. Plus, I like this as precedent. Without knowing it, Sherrod’s suit might help beat back the incoherent linguistic assumptions that the left has built its entire epistemological foundation upon — and to which it hitches its entire rhetorical wagon. To wit: imagine what happens to the left if a court decides that you simply can’t make up your

I know. Shocking! President Obama’s Mid-Session Review, an update of the Budget published by the Office of Management and Budget in February, shows that the deficit is increasing and unemployment will remain high for years to come. The Mid-Session Review, issued on Friday, July 23 at 3:00 pm – just when people might head off for a weekend at the beach or by the pool – is not even listed

Byron York: Gallup’s latest weekly compilation of polling data on President Obama’s job approval rating shows him at 85 percent among black Americans, down from a 94 percent approval rating among blacks as recently as March. The 85 percent figure is also Obama’s lowest-ever as president among African-Americans in the Gallup weekly poll. The poll data is from July 19 to 25, meaning Gallup sampled opinion as the Shirley Sherrod

Go. Do what you gotta do, people, and send your thoughts and prayers.
