Getting Bloody!

I’m not sure how yet — I’m still waiting for that Pima County Sheriff to hit the talk show circuit to give me my talking points — but I’m pretty sure Sarah Palin, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann, Christine O’Donnell, Scott Walker, the TEA Party, and Barry Goldwater are to blame for this. Shame on them, pushing what I’m sure is a good man to such a

“Fox’s Shep Smith: Pretending Wisconsin Is About A Fiscal Crisis Is ‘Malarkey'”

Sure, Shep. And there were cannibals in the SuperDome because President Bush fired up the weather weapon and flooded New Orleans so that he could kill darkies by the score. Dick. Let me clue you in here, you vapid hair-do: the “collective bargaining” being “busted” here is a money-laundering scheme that has union leaders taking money from the taxpayers that the taxpayers can ill afford (and can’t themselves “bargain” on),

“House Votes to Defund U.N. Climate Change Panel that Missouri Congressman Calls ‘Nefarious’”

CNS News: The House of Representatives has voted to defund a United Nations climate change panel after the Republican who introduced the proposal said the body had “whipped up a global frenzy” over climate change because its members were politically motivated. “It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomenon which is statistically questionable at

“Defense of Marriage Act Unconstitutional: Obama”

Of course, he doesn’t get to determine that — it was passed by the legislature and signed into law by President Clinton, and so it the duty of the government to defend it — but then, Obama is above the law. As are all dictators. We live in a country where the President and his cronies decide what laws to follow and what laws to enforce; what companies are supported

Haves and have nots

“10 Health Insurance Companies Get ObamaCare Waivers — for Their Own Employees”. Well, then. Some pigs are more equal than others, I guess.

“Obama’s agenda faces governors’ revolt”

So argues Noemie Emery, who evidently wrote the column before Mitch Daniels lent cover to fleeing Democrat lawmakers in Indiana. But still: For the first time since the Civil War ended, the federal government and a large number of the states and their governors are at open and few-holds-barred war. States and their governors defying the White House, is, of course, nothing new. In the 19th century, the United States

In which I speak to this idea of the “working man”

Hey. Hippie: the taxpayers footing the bill for the pensions and health care of public sector union employees are also working men and women. The difference is, the working men and women you support expect the rest of the working men and women to pay for the entirety of their health care and pensions. The working men and women you support likewise back union bosses who demand that, in order

“Indiana: Right-to-work bill dies, Democrats crank up their demands”

What’s the best way to keep popular momentum? Why, cave, of course! But don’t call it caving. Call it, “sorry, but that’s not what my Blackberry tells me I had scheduled just now, and I have my legacy to worry about”: Fox just reported that in the face of fleebag Democrats on the one hand and weak Gov. Mitch Daniels on the other, Indiana Republicans have dropped the right-to-work bill

Don’t accept the premise

Rumsfeld, who takes craps bigger than Andrea Mitchell. Of course, I’ve long counseled that the way to push back against the dishonest debate tactics of the left is to refuse to accept their framing premises — and to call them out on their attempts to finesse the conversation or decontextualize / recontextualize a sound bite to rob it of its originary meaning. But when Rummy does it, it smells like

The New Civility, 40 [UPDATED]

“Dem Rep to unions: Time to get ‘bloody’”: A Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts is raising the stakes in the nation’s fight over the future of public employee unions, saying emails aren’t enough to show support and that it is time to “get a little bloody.” […] This is not Capuano’s first brush with violent rhetoric. Last month Capuano said, “Politicians, I think are too bland today. I don’t know what
