How to be a preachy illiberal douchebag, lose your job, and significantly damage your “cause” in 3 minutes or less!

For me, this guy — a (now) former CFO and an “academic” — is the poster child for the enforced conformity and thought policing that is the hallmark of progressive activism. May he live in permanent infamy. Whereas the Chick-fil-a drive-thru employee? Was the epitome of class, grace, and professionalism. This video should be an objective correlative for the 2012 election season.

“Gun Control Advocate: Daughters Have Bullseye Targets in Their Bedrooms”

See, as a Colorado Democrat with daughters who’ve taken NRA gun courses, she’s all for gun ownership.  Only with sensible limits, you see.  Like, for instance, a ban on “assault weapons.”  Or on “high capacity” magazines.  Which, once banned from the hands of law abiding citizens with a natural right to own the kind of weapons that aid in their protection, will never again fall in the hands of a

“Obama’s Calculated Deception”

Peter Ferrara, The American Spectator: Calculated Deception. That is the central theme of the Obama campaign.

For those keeping score at home. (h/t Drudge via Twitter)

Reid takes to Senate floor, repeats accusation that Romney hasn’t paid taxes

Ed Morrissey: I know that the term “Senate ethics” is often an oxymoron, but doesn’t accusing a political opponent from the Senate floor of a felony without offering a shred of proof violate some kind of ethics rule?  “The word’s out” refers only to Harry Reid and Harry Reid alone.  Not only is this despicable and grossly irresponsible, it should be actionable in court. One problem with dullards like Harry

Misreading the TEA leaves

Bill Quick, reacting to a story that Ted Cruz served Chick-fil-a at his victory party, lapses into the kind of kneejerk libertarian hysteria that has become all too common among certain materialists on the right over the years. Writes Bill, in a post titled “Big Tent For Bigots”: I guess the Tea Parties are now all about social conservatism. I mean, after all, when Rick Santelli sounded the first battle

Ted Cruz is who we classical liberals / constitutionalists hoped Marco Rubio would be

That’s my prophecy. For what it’s worth. Discuss.
