One of these days, they’ll get to blame a TEA Party conservative for something. Until then, they’ll just keep throwing shit against the wall to see if it sticks — and mistakes like this one won’t shame them because they can’t be shamed. The ends justify the means.  Always and forever. And sometimes you have to take a little egg on your face if you want to socially engineer the

The problem is not so much the fraud or the cheating — though these are certainly problems with a system so readily gamed. Instead, the real problem is, we know about these things — be it with the Franken race, or with found ballots in Washington state, and so on — and nothing of substance is ever done about it.  We don’t raise enough of a sustained pushback to hold

Yes, our government is a deviant subculture. But no, we needn’t all be looking 0ut for the “common good.”   In fact, it’s when we act out of self-interest that we tend to most productive, most happy, and create the most wealth — thereby reinforcing a system for common good, one that works because it promotes  individual autonomy and relies on spontaneous order.  Which is why we don’t need a better

At least, not beyond what he recognized was the shoddy science behind the “hockey stick,” which bad science he likely suspected would be shown as such and eventually hurt the environmentalist cause.  But a warming “skeptic”?  Hardly.  Muller, Technology Review, 2004: If you are concerned about global warming (as I am) and think that human-created carbon dioxide may contribute (as I do), then you still should agree that we are

Which, naturally, means that the Fed is both inept and — now, thanks to the study results — demonstrably racist, to boot.

This has been a long-time coming — and mirrors what a lot of pw readers have been advocating for quite a while now: states showing the federal government that in a constitutional republic whose founding documents were meant to protect individual, state sovereignty, and constrain the power of a federal authority, all it really takes to break the hold of the federal Leviathan is to simply tell it no. Then

Got your tinfoil hats ready, Hobbits? Now, we all know that the World Government conspiracy — that is, an end to sovereignty and a movement by transnational progressivism to create a more manageable planet that is “sustainable” (and that they, through their rule, will sustain, by methods they agree upon) — is a fantasy: only kooks and conspiracy theorists believe such things, just as it was only kooks and cranks

Just because I want people to recognize, again and again and again and again, just how much of contemporary journalism is actually left-wing / “progressive” political activism — and is in many ways more responsible for the harm done our country, its people, and the Constitution than the politicians it supports. It is the propaganda arm of the New Left. And because it was long granted the ludicrous cover of

Of course he does!  Because “we can’t wait” — and evidently, being told by Congress he must is not something a king will tolerate. Senate Republicans recently blocked cybersecurity legislation, but the issue might not be dead after all. The White House hasn’t ruled out issuing an executive order to strengthen the nation’s defenses against cyber attacks if Congress refuses to act. — Quick interjection:  notice how that’s phrased.  Obama
