I like conspiracy theories on Sundays. And today is Sunday. So.

John Hayward, Human Events: The new Sarah Palin documentary, The Undefeated, opened to solid box office numbers this weekend. Oddly, the Atlantic tried to cook up a quick hit piece on the Palin film by sending the hapless Conor Friedersdorf to an unadvertised midnight showing in Orange County on a Thursday night. He proceeded to note at great length that not many people were in the theater. This story was

Ben Howe, Red State, reacting to a screening of The Undefeated: There was so much media coverage of Palin, and so many people that were incredibly unfair to her, that I had been desensitized. I didn’t realize it, but I had actually developed a sort of immunity to believing anything positive about Sarah Palin. Rush Limbaugh, a personal hero of mine, sang her praises every time her name came up.

Aaaaaaaaaaaannnnd fold. The House and the Tea Party undermined. Cut off at the knees. Because this will give the cover of bipartisan support to Obama against the Tea Party — and if it is blocked in the House, the press will identify the House GOP as “extremists” and pin the blame, such as it is, directly on them. Boehner can’t handle that kind of pressure. Nor, evidently, could McConnell. We’re

He’s still working on the interview questions I sent him, but he’ll be on Levin’s show tonight to talk about the movie and its reception, for those interested.

It’s the taxes, stupid. I’ve linked this before, but now’s a good time to link it again, as Mark Levin led with it this evening and it may get some more play. The nut, from Scott Hodges at the Tax Foundation: The share of taxes paid by the richest 10 percent of households, the share of all market income earned by that group, and the ratio of what that 10

Or is the GOP’s polling showing that Americans are solidly behind fiscal restraint and real reforms? U.S. House Republicans plan a vote next week on a measure to cut spending, cap expenditures and condition a $2.4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling on passage of a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. While the plan may win acceptance by the Republican-led House, it can’t pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, according to

I’ve discussed multiculturalism and its kernel assumptions at length on this site (you can find my arguments in the archives), having time and again made the case that, once the intellectual precepts for the multicultural project are adopted, rationalized, and institutionalized, the social, cultural, and legal trajectory is set on course for legalized Balkanization, cultural and social relativism as a function of law, and a strain on the very idea

Which, that doesn’t much matter once the economy crashes and Obama, for our own good, rushes in to declare an emergency extension to his Presidency — a right he has, under certain interpretations of both the 14th Amendment and the Commerce Clause. And I believe Roe v. Wade. Still, ironic, given the circumstances.

I mentioned this in a comment last evening, but let me just post it here with a link, and make it clear to everyone — including those on our side who somehow abide the McConnell politicking (his plan is now being gleefully pushed by the left, who realizes that the President can always claim that the McConnell plan is what allowed for new spending and a raise in the debt
