Ron Wyden, March 2012, writing in the Huffington Post, “Preserving the Medicare Guarantee: Why I’ve Been Working with Paul Ryan”: I know that polls show that the majority of Americans like Medicare the way it is today. But don’t let that number confuse what’s at stake: unless Congress enacts meaningful Medicare reform in the near future, seniors will be faced with inevitable cost-shifting and eventual benefit cuts until Medicare doesn’t

Looks like somebody may have been intolerant of intolerance.  Or maybe is just a crazy nutjob, it’s too soon to tell and too soon to speculate. Still, if this shooting turns out to be politically motivated, look for several liberals to distance themselves from the violence while noting that, though they abhor the action, they can nevertheless understand and sympathize with its motivation.  Hate needs to be stopped, you see. 

Looks like some racist judge loves him some poll taxes.  Because he’s racist.  And wants to disenfranchise the millions upon millions of people studies from “non-partisan” and “independent” leftwing groups have shown will lose their franchise if they are required to engage in the onerous, unfair, and frankly racisty, polltaxy indignation of having to show a photo ID proving that they are who they are should they wish to vote.

Mike Hendrix, being all unhelpful: Progressivism simply cannot be reconciled with an America whose people are citizens, not subjects. It is not compatible with individual liberty and unrestrained initiative. It is an ideology not of freedom, but of fetters. It is based not on self-determination, but on coercion and compliance. It is Obama, his halfwit lackey Biden, and their ideological confreres–not conservatives and libertarians–who seek to put us in chains.

We all know that there’s no such thing as the GOP establishment — after all, can someone point to a mailing address or letterhead? No? Well, then. We said good day, sir! — and we all know that this non-existent GOP establishment believes, if such a non-existent thing could be said to believe, in political “pragmatism,” to be distinguished from the “purist” idealism of the movement Hobbits who, let’s face

And a depression from which civilization may not recover. But don’t fret. The DNC is trotting out Debbie Wasserman Schultz to warn the elderly that Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney want to shred their health safety net. By, you know, not touching it. So we’ll live. Besides, if things go sideways, it’s not like we can’t just print more money, right? I mean, that’s how economics works, if you’re nuanced

No worries, though. Obama and Putin are tight. Smart diplomacy, you see. Reset buttons. And it’s not like there’s anything about communism or Marxist/Leninism that Obama gravitates towards. So why would we worry? Right? Bill Gertz, Washington Free Beacon: A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after

Oops! Reached for comment, John McCain ordered a staffer to bring him “a goddamn chocolate chip Fiber Bar,” and John Boehner, naturally, burst into little orange tears.

Andrew McCarthy reviews Obama’s treatment of Paul Ryan and compares it to the President’s treatment of the Muslim Brotherhood. Throw in Bibi Netanyahu’s being shown the service entrance — and add a dash of Khalidi fluffing we’re still not allowed to see — and I think we’ve got a pretty good idea of the kind of stew Obama prefers.
