If a tree is felled illegally in the forest, and the only people there to hear it are the repulsive, hypocritical leftist sycophants and enablers of the imperial President who ordered the tree be cut down in the first place, does it make a sound? And if so, does it sound like the muffled screams of a Constitution being smothered in its sleep with pillows by Ezra Klein, Dick Stengel,

For every ostensible successful government entry into, and manipulation of, the market by way of the private sector, there isn’t one. Not really. But that won’t keep an ever new set of indoctrinated, leftist elites from seizing power and making it work the next time — their being so much smarter and more able than all who have tried before them. Plus, they really really really want socialism to work.

For every advance in medical science, there is a corresponding devolution in the idea of sanctity of life — particularly when getting old and terminally sick fuckers to believe they have a “duty to die” rather hamfistedly hides the fact that your malign bureaucratic scheme to control the populace through government distributed health care was born in fail, and can only really exist if it actively kills off enough people

A note from Dr Larry Arn, President, Hillsdale College: The 4th of July cover article of Time magazine claims that the Constitution is irrelevant. Frightening. As proof of its irrelevance, Time lists a dozen products of modern society inconceivable to the framers, including antibiotics, “sexting,” and Medicare. The Constitution’s only virtue, they say, is that it has many meanings and thus leaves us able to do whatever we want to

— And that’s what it is, Independence Day — the day we declared our unwillingness to answer to the arbitrary whims of a centralized authority, the day we demanded our unalienable rights be recognized. “Distributional justice” is just another way of declaring that what’s yours isn’t truly yours — that man, in the form of government or a (“democratic”) mob, has decided that he owns the fruits of your labor

Go see Transformers 3. Which, at nearly 160 minutes, no living human should ever have to sit through.

Oh, how freakin’ delightful. But frankly, I’m not all that surprised. I’ve long argued that the real heroes of the counterculture — those pressing for individual freedom, not the poseurs who dressed the role to try and get laid, but later turned into the very brownshirts they pretended to be fighting against — should naturally find themselves on the classical liberal side of the political divide. And yet today, the

OK, perhaps one more wacky idea for St. Germain. Across cultures and times, le Comte steps into a new role as Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. This chart shows the price of oil since 1970 and two surrogates for the health of the American economy, US deficit as % of GDP and unemployment rate. Prior to the formation of OPEC in 1973 the US had roughly kept the

So, now we know what the left’s narrative will be: that by calling for cuts in spending with money we don’t have — while simultaneously denying the left a tax increase on “the rich” that would further destroy job creation and strain an already strained taxpayer class — the GOP is intentionally and for political gain trying to “sabotage” the “recovery.” At least, that’s how Chuck Schumer is selling it

Come celebrate summer with protein wisdom, your very own Roman Candle of freedom and truth! Because let’s face it, your money is better spent buoying up an extremist website with little or no influence on the public debate than it is on, say, churros or some stupid John Varvatos pima cotton 3-button henley with detail stitching. Am I right? Of course I am. **** Tuesday update: A bit more than
