Business Insider, “Conservatives Are Threatening To ‘Systematically Replace’ Republicans Who Agree To A Deal On The Fiscal Cliff”: Driven by growing concerns that House GOP leaders will give in to raising tax rates, grassroots conservatives are ramping up pressure on Republicans to block any deal on the fiscal cliff. More than 100 conservative leaders — including Santorum megadonor Foster Friess, RedState editor Erick Erickson, Phyllis Schlafly, longtime GOP activist Morton

The temptation will always exist to try procuring for free what you should instead be bartering for.  For instance, one might be tempted to drape himself in the pelt of a brown bear, say, and make a night-time raid on a rival camp with a weak perimeter, trusting that the fear his sudden counterfeit attack inspires will coax a flight instinct, leaving the disguised interloper free to gather up thermal

This crony corporatist (how much did GE pay in taxes again?) is now head of Obama’s jobs council. And, like every liberal fascist before him, he pines after authoritarian control and a police state decked out in the guise of a representative republic — while crony capitalists, working with the government, regulate away competition and consolidate power. Which, incidentally, was the bridge stage before nationalization of industry in Bellamy’s Looking

I don’t know how you feel, but this Obama foreign policy we’ve now voted twice for is like, so totally fair, you know?  No more hegemons.  No more superpowers or a military industrial complex powerful enough to keep the people down.  North Korea successfully arming for the big time?  What could be a better indication that the last vestiges of oppressive American world policing is coming to an end under

And we also need a way to prevent the locusts who flee collapsing states from setting up in new states

Peter Ferrara, Forbes: President Obama seems to have a strategy to terminate all of the Bush tax cuts, not just those for “the rich,” as he has been saying since 2008.  He is offering the Republicans exactly zero concessions in the “fiscal cliff” negotiations.  No spending cuts, no entitlement reform, no compromise on the rates.  It is entirely my way or the highway, and if the Republicans refuse to do

As the organized left, right down to Obama himself, ramp up pressure to keep Michigan’s Governor Rick Snyder from signing right to work legislation into law, the hired thugs / “labor activists” they deploy to drive home the seriousness of their “suggestions” attack those who stand for fiscal responsibility and real freedom of speech and association — here, the tent of Americans for Prosperity, who have been helping in the

Look, I’ve been hearing a bit of right-side OUTRAGE over Jamie Foxx’s opening monologue as host of SNL the other night, so let me take a moment to address it here:  First, foremost, Jamie Foxx was hosting SNL.  And SNL, whether you find it funny or not, is an adult comedy / variety show, one that has always trafficked in political and cultural humor, much of it in the service

Yes, the compound bow or the crossbow are stealthy weapons with a nice effective range, and from a well-designed tree blind can be quite effective against a small band of marauders, provided you are able to keep your position hidden.  Which becomes more difficult if the marauders have even a rudimentary understanding of geometry and physics — which in today’s America, I agree, is a vanishingly small skill set. Still,
