Were the anthropogenic “climate change” debate really about climate change…

This would put an end to it once and for all. But because “climate change” legislation and regulation has always just been a progressive Trojan horse meant to give cover to plans for global wealth redistribution, the re-urbanization of “the masses,” and the personal financial interests of “green energy” and or / carbon credit investors, it won’t end — no matter how discredited is the science. And that’s because the

“Clackamas mall shooter faced shopper with concealed weapon”

It’s amazing what kinds of things the national media — in their haste to generalize a narrative and create a “moral imperative” that seems always to redound to the implementation of some policy on their political wishlist — leaves out of their reporting. But that’s for our own good.  Because we can’t be expected to understand the moral of any story if it isn’t shaped for us and presented unencumbered

Going on the Offensive: let’s not allow the pro-police staters to set narrative parameters

Since the day of the Connecticut shooting, I’ve tried to anticipate every cynical move progressives would likely make to try to capitalize on this (not new) “crisis”.  Because I knew they would — and indeed they have, going so far as to pretend that their calls for less freedom and, as a consequence, a larger police state, is a “moral imperative.”   But having gone on the offensive myself, I can

Also, a note to Nina Easton

Many of us are parents ourselves, and most of us are raised by at least one of our parents, be they biological or not.  We don’t need a “Parent-in-chief,” and in fact the very idea speaks to the infantilization of a nation grown more and more dependent on big government. When we elect a president we are electing an executive officeholder. Not Oprah fucking Winfrey. Unless we get back to

National conversation starter: “Texas School District Will Let Teachers Carry Guns”

There. Now it’s up to those progressives pushing their anti-liberty, pro-police state agenda to argue how it’s compassionate to post “sitting ducks” signs identifying us and our children as soft targets for armed predators — as opposed to allowing a trained, free people with a natural right to defend themselves do just that, if only to put pause to those wishing to act out megalomaniacal slaughter fantasies unencumbered by any

“The problem goes beyond the absurd conceit that a conversation about guns had yet to begin prior to this week.” [Darleen Click]

Conor Friedersdorf Awakened to that urgency, proponents of more gun control have understandably taken to the Internet in recent days to argue that epidemic gun violence in America makes tighter firearm restrictions an urgent imperative. I happen to agree at least that the gun show loophole ought to be closed. Before I go any farther, I hereby urge any legislator inclined to listen to pass such a bill now. Yet

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled Sunday Night football game so that Obama can speechify

This will serve as an open thread. But first, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the President will tell us it’s time to have a national conversation about guns and violence.  Which is fine by me.  My first contribution to that conversation is this:  why is it that lawmakers looking for cheap grace have been allowed to pass laws that not only leave children

Obama Admin quietly kills embarrassing metric [Darleen Click]

King Barry I is just trying to protect us from troubling information As the din of America’s falling headfirst over the fiscal cliff reverberates across the nation, the Obama administration is quietly killing a key economic metric that tells how, and how many, people are voting with their feet. Since 1991 the Internal Revenue Service has been compiling statistics on filers’ addresses, which the agency’s Statistics of Income division uses

Obama, silent about union violence in Michigan, immediately reacts to Connecticut school shooting

Predictable as the sunrise.  Sayeth the Light Bringer and erstwhile armory to the Mexican drug cartels: As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it is an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago, these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods and these children are our children. And

Not to diss the Mayans or anything… [McGehee]

About eleven and a half months ago the 2,011th Common Era calendar ended. Unexpectedly, a 2,012th one began the very next day. Just sayin’.
