The ruling class vs. the rest of us

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

“House GOP Leaders Indicate They WILL Fund Obamacare”

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

“N.J. law to rescue solar subsidy market gets both criticism and acclaim”

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

Flashback: “Suspect In Aurora, Colo. Church Shooting Identified, Had Been In Prison”

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: “dear mainstream press: I’m a sensible Republican and a thinker. Please, notice me!”

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

Colorado shooting — because of the raaaaacism! [Darleen Click]

Yep, the usual Leftists see fit to take the singular act of evil committed in Colorado and shoehorn their own shibboleths into it: Of all the political angles that might be played in connection with the Aurora theater shooting, surely racism would be a card too far, right? Wrong. Subbing for Ed Schultz on MSNBC tonight, Michael Eric Dyson managed to suggest that James Holmes would have attracted the attention

What’s say WE go all activist, too?

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
