Talk about your political tone deafness. We belong to the government? And here I thought it belonged to us. Oh, well. I guess when the personal is the political, the only legitimate opt out from a voracious centralized government that claims for itself increasing control of every aspect of your life is death. — And which point you vote Democrat, anyway. May as well just lie back and think of

“Pro-Israel Language Removed From Democratic Party Platform”
Also removed? Any mention of God. And before any of you racist Zionist evangelical wingnuts (but I repeat myself!) go making any fraught connections between these two entirely disparate omissions, allow me to remind you that some of Obama’s best friends are Chuck Schumer. So. (h/t leigh)
“Why America is much worse off that it was four years ago”
Jim Pethokoukis uses charts to make the case. Me, I think the answer is pretty obvious, charts or no: every so often, and for whatever the reasons, the left is able to convince Americans that they aren’t really who we know they are. After which, they take power, run left, and create economic displacement, high unemployment, and a country that is less free and more government-centric. Then, after each such
Bloggers Defense Team / Day By Day auction
Seems like some of those on the left who’ve for years insisted that many right wing bloggers are but cartoons have finally been vindicated. Still. I get to stand next to Sarah Palin. So it’s almost worth it.
“Scott Brown called ‘honorary girl’ for folding laundry: Uproar sparks apology”
Sometimes the Democrats forget they are the party of womyns, I think. At which time they inadvertently let on that their entire grievance politics schtick is but a showy form of false morality steeped in rank political opportunism. Nothing more. At any rate, I think the real question on everyone’s mind — or rather, on the minds of seasoned blog readers — is this: how was Brown able to carry
“Mrs. Obama’s 2nd-Term Agenda: ‘Impact Nature of Food in Grocery Stores’”
Who says you have to elect the queen? Racists. CNS: Asked by Parade magazine, “What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to “impact the nature of food in grocery stores” with the aim of cutting sugar, fat and salt. “With ‘Lets Move!,’ our goal is to end the problem of childhood obesity in a generation,” Mrs. Obama said. “And while
There was going to be an Elizabeth Warren / Billy Jack post here
But I can’t get WordPress in its latest incarnation to recognize the old template I used. So. Here’s what I was going to link to. And just so you know? The Elizabeth Warren / Billy Jack post I was going to write up would have been epic. Had I been able to get the template to work. Which I couldn’t. So you’ll just have to trust me. You would have
Growing the government? [Guest post by Tim H]
I work for what is now called Fleet and Family Readiness (FFR) program. There are two distinct funded entities within the Moral, Welfare and Recreation portion of the FFR, Appropriated Funds (AP) which include Fitness Centers, the Liberty Program (single service member support) and Child & Youth Services and Non Appropriated Funds (NAF) which includes dining establishments, entertainment, travel and tours and outdoor recreational activities to name a few. While
“Are Americans Better Off Today Than They Were Four Years Ago?” <--What, you racist or something? [Darleen Click]
The Obama Administration spokesholes were having some problems with the softly-pitched question. And the Lamestream media, desperate to circle the wagons around those Democrats that may have strayed off message, even gave do overs. But that’s just not good enough. This is a question that should not be asked If you hear a reporter ask people in President Obama’s administration, ideally in a belligerent tone, “are the American people better
