A RINO establishment insider over a real conservative?  Must just be his turn. Staunch! Crazy how all that online support that started out with Perry (and was simultaneously very vocal in its attacks on Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, et al.,)  seems now to have solidified behind Romney. I mean, who would have thought it, right?  These people go to TEA Party conferences!  On stipends!  And are given speaking roles.  To

And in so doing, teach Mr Christopher a bit about how language works — and about why his formulation (see below) is both incoherent linguistically and reinforces the left’s deliberate attempt to “democratize” language as a means toward achieving a kind of hermeneutic tyranny.  Consider it a kind of reader test. Here are your raw materials:  “Mitt Romney’s ‘Obama Isn’t Working’ Banner Evokes Racial Stereotypes”: Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt

I wrote a bit about what I thought may be the positive implications for such an effort — mostly, that it could potentially unleash a classically liberal counter-offensive whereby the amendment process is used to, eg., potentially constrain Roe v Wade, or Wickard — even though it’s clear that the idea behind the effort is to gut the First Amendment and give government near universal control over speech, a direct

This is how it works, isn’t it? Claim to champion the type while attacking specific instances of the type (if push comes to shove, just note that they aren’t a particular authentic instance) — then use the claim that you champion the type as proof of your identity group bona fides and commitment to social justice. — All at the expense of the individual. And all of a piece with

Be afraid.  Be very afraid. And to think:  those who back in the early days of blogging (myself among them) used to go on about how the entirety of this “green energy” gambit was merely a move by transnational progressives to re-order the world  through huge transfers of wealth from “rich” countries to “poor” countries — under the name of “fairness” (and as a way to salve past instances of

Taxing authority with no House oversight or involvement? Why, what could go wrong?  FOXNews: It is the most powerful federal agency you’ve never heard of — and lawmakers from both parties on Thursday vowed to keep abreast of its astonishing growth and rein it in, if necessary. The Office of Financial Research, or OFR, was created by the Dodd-Frank financial services overhaul that President Obama signed into law in July

As a follow-up to Darleen’s post, let me just add a few additional thoughts. First, what is most troubling to me about all this — outside of the calculated (and as it turns out, dishonest) attempts by the media and even our own President turn a local tragedy into a symbol of supposed racial animus — is that Zimmerman was arrested months later in what I believe is a case

I get emails: Jeff, I lived with Marc L’Hommedieu as a housemate over 10 years ago. I was following a link from Pinterest today and came across Deviant Art, and thought I’d look up Marc’s page. When I followed the google link of his name to your blog, I was horrified. I honestly can’t believe it’s the same person writing all of these things to you. I have no idea
