— And before the trolls chime in to accuse wild-eyed desperate conservatives of engaging in guilt by association — if there’s one thing we know for sure about Obama after 3+ years as President it’s that just because he told a crowd in Harvard Square to open its hearts and minds to the words of Derrick Bell doesn’t mean he actually meant it — let me just say this: the

Well, I do. And now I think I may know why. From Economic Policy Journal (h/t Michelle Malkin / geoffB): As the price of gasoline soars, top Mitt Romney adviser, Harvard economist Greg Mankiw sticks to his guns and calls for a hike in gasoline taxes. In a recent blog post, Mankiw points to a WaPo column which states: N. Gregory Mankiw, former top economic adviser to President George W.

Debating a person of the Left is like trying to nail jello to the wall. Contradictory assertions, circular logic, refusal to consider opposing arguments or deliberate misinterpretation of opposing arguments are among the characteristics of a Leftist screed in search of utopia. Today’s latest exercise is the mind-numbing musings of Nat Frank at HuffPo. Entitled Belief Alone Is No Basis for Public Policy, Frank attempts to make an argument against

So asks Jim Pethokoukis. And without reading the column, I’m going to go with my gut and answer, “because 34.7% of the country remains stubbornly and irredeemably stupid?” There. Tell me I didn’t nail it.

During the 70s, women gathered in the streets and burned bras to protest the social constraints foisted on

Credit where it’s due: Joel Pollak does an excellent job keeping his composure in the face of attempts to belittle him and diminish the importance of the story under examination. Note: We don’t need to apologize for vetting Barack Obama. We don’t need to let Soledad O’Brien try to redefine and neuter critical race theory and dissemble about what its aims were. We don’t need to fear smirking innuendo that,

Here’s a review of the legislation, the Energy Freedom & Economic Prosperity Act, to be presented today as an amendment. And here’s how you can help. Best get on it.

And the imperialist presidency continues apace: Wth no authorization from Congress, President Barack Obama has announced that his administration — through the Federal Housing Administration — will insure refinanced mortgages for 2 to 3 million borrowers without verifying their income or even if they hold a job, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Obama announced his latest mortgage program at a White House news conference on

What we need, according to the Dems, is a kind of global test — a “legal basis” tied to “international permission” that would determine when our military can be used. Because let’s face it: deciding on our own — that is, through the Congress, using a Constitutional test — how and when to use our own military for our own purposes is imperialistic, while letting other countries determine when we

So far, no sponsorship pullouts of note that I’ve heard about. But then, there’s like, a totally good reason for the double standard: nobody takes leftwing liberals seriously anyway. CNN’s Jay McMichael: “We’re very excited about having Louis C.K. at the dinner. This is an evening you’ll want to experience. We’re shaking things up, showcasing the unexpected, and delivering lots of laughs.” For the record? Here’s a bit of CNN’s
