Really. What’s left to say?  When several Republicans are willing to practically stump for Democrats in order to beat back the TEA Party — hell, Tom Coburn doesn’t seem to mind a Democrat Senate, where Harry Reid keeps anything from happening, and the government just keeps on running at a yearly deficit over a trillion dollars and using the “one-time” stimulus money as its baseline for spending, so long as

Defunding ObamaCare might mean a government shut down, and people, we’re told, love them some government and would punish Republicans at the ballot box were the government to cease functioning in order to block the single largest government intrusion into the lives of free citizens in the history of ever.   And if we can’t get Republicans elected, how do we hope to defund ObamaCare? Pragmatism! Fact:  government takes care of

Chris Christie, conservative superhero! Seriously, is it any wonder why the RINOs and the same online “conservatives” who backed Romney early on love them some Chris Christie?  Sure, he oftentimes barks at the appropriate leftwing boogeymen, but in the end, his record is what it is:  he refused to sign on to the ObamaCare suit, he’s put up dubious judicial appointments, he was all in for Mike Castle, was all

Didn’t he know that, as a convicted felon, he wasn’t supposed to have a gun? Had he no respect for the rules? At any rate, for those of you who don’t remember, after he randomly killed a woman coming to his aid, he was shot dead by a churchgoer who had a weapon on him.  As Squid quite pointedly notes in the comments to an earlier post, I’ve seen the

David Frum, ever the thinking-man’s Republican (the kind, for instance, who scores points with the left in his essays with throwaway lines about, eg., FOX News, or pointed innuendo that gun sales are increasing during the Obama years because, well, white men are both scared and racist), “Fear drives opposition to gun control”: […] what will change [attitudes toward the wisdom of gun ownership] is not more atrocity stories, but

If someone here has the time and the means, please mock-up in Photoshop or some such, a sign / sticker, etc., designed with a (disgusted) nod to the sadly all too common gun-free zone signs, that reads as follows: “This is most definitely NOT a gun-free zone. So if you’re thinking about doing something stupid, you’re gonna want to look elsewhere.” Beneath the sign should be something like the ubiquitous

America:  “I’ve declined and fallen and I can’t get up!” The number of workers taking federal disability insurance payments hit yet another record in July, increasing to 8,753,935 during the month from the previous record of 8,733,461 set in June, according to newly released datafrom the Social Security Administration. The 8,753,935 workers who took federal disability insurance payments in July exceeded the population of 39 of the 50 states. Only

Well, I’ve been arguing so for years, because I don’t think that taking the party over is a realistic option: a quick look at the GOP presidential nominees since Reagan tells us that, and this primary season — where we watched the “conservative” online mouthpieces consistently pushing the inevitability of Romney, having first dismissed nearly every other candidate as unserious (save for the Texas Romney, a staunch electable conservative, we

1. The shooter wore body armor and tactical protective gear, which is impervious to everything except armor piercing bullets (banned for civilian use) and Kryptonite. 2. Which is precisely why we need to ban body armor and tactical protective gear except for military and law enforcement. 3. And of course, he bought ammunition online, in bulk. That needs to stop. 4. That ammo he bought? Was to put in his
