As progressives engage in their latest round of provincial-American sneers (we’re back to the anti-Texan trope, with Perry’s entry into the presidential race), it is important to recognize that the endgame of the statist movement, as I’ve been at pains to explain, is not, as the left would have you believe, a leveling of the class system; rather, what they are after is a new class system, one divided along

Bush’s fault. Though to be fair, the Arab Spring, the Japanese earthquake / tsunami / nuclear armageddon (with the attendant rise of zombie cheerleaders and giant insect wars), and Justin Bieber’s pro-life bombshell had a lot to do with it. Honestly. Any mortal leader can only do so much in the face of such unprecedented obstacles — and a demi-god, well, even He’s going to need an additional term as

See? The real problem this country has is that you ideologically intransigent fringe extremist Biblehumping redneck mouthbreathing hicksticks — when you aren’t not busy acting like terrorists, holding your assault weapons to the heads of American seniors or children with autism or loving loving gays or all those hard working undocumented workers who just want to pick beans and melons and live the same American dream your dumb hillbillies asses

Cloward-Piven never takes a holiday. It just pretends to — even if that means forcing itself to look like it’s enjoying hot-buttered lobster rolls and afternoon aperitifs on the decks of yachts like some entitled bourgeois douche. Cloward-Piven is down for the struggle. All power to the people. Man.

Dear Leader must be reading the polls. And the polls are telling him it’s time to become the conservative, pro-business Dear Leader. WSJ: The Obama administration will release final plans Tuesday for ending or cutting back hundreds of regulations, an effort to reduce the burden on business and counter criticism that the White House is tone-deaf to business concerns. Certain railroad cars won’t have to install expensive technology, hospitals will

Some people carry pens or Kleenex or Altoids on their person. Not me.

Via Michele Malkin, here’s one candidate scorecard. I like both Bachmann and Cain, and it’s no surprise, really, that they score best. But to show how non-absolutist I am, I’d happily support Palin for President, as well. Perry I’m still a bit nervous about (sorry, Bill): I will say that I’m happy with his answers on border enforcement; I just need to be convinced he isn’t just throwing out red-meat
