… Kevin McCarthy, third in line in the House GOP leadership, all but said that the Hastert Rule, which Boehner’s House has violated 3 times recently, is dead.  No more.  Sleeps with the fishes.  It has simply ceased to be alive. Which means, essentially, that the GOP leadership’s plan to “re-brand” the party is to freeze out conservatives entirely, ignore the wishes of those who foisted them into power to

It has to do with public safety. For the children! So howsabout you stop your griping. You stupid fat redneck paranoiacs. Submit! Because it’s not like liberal legislators are going to listen to your concerns anyway. (h/t GeoffB)

I tell you, it’s a growing movement, this outlaw! thing.  And that’s because an awakened free people simply isn’t going to accept forever being harangued and maligned by progressive statists (or their Republican counterparts) who believe they are the stewards of all that is good and right, especially when it is becoming increasingly obvious that they are no such thing, but rather are poseurs of  superficial intellect — dangerous, hateful

Turns out I was right. Kind of.  Because honestly, I was thinking more 1960s US, not 1930s Germany.  But it’s the thought that counts, right? CNS News, “Wisconsin’s VISTA Program Encourages Volunteers to Overcome White ‘Privilege’”: The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) wants its white VISTA volunteers who work with low-income, racially diverse public schools to examine the “privilege” their Caucasian race confers on them. DPI devotes an entire

This is kinda awesome, really. I guess if you don’t ask, you’ll never know. Nice job, kid.

A controversy has been re-ignited this week as ten new ads go up on San Francisco Muni buses containing quotes used by terrorists. “Killing Jews is worship that draws us closer to Allah,” reads one of the ads, which has people debating the line

Author Sarah Hoyt seems a bit… down on public education. Evidently, finding out that an estimated “80% of NYC graduates cannot read and write and are functionally illiterate” will do that to you: […] whether it’s from malice or misguided credentialism and do-goodism, what I can tell you is that our system of education is accomplishing the “miracle” of turning out a population MORE illiterate than the poor never-taught people

Watchdog.org, “Tides uses tax dollars to turn America to the Left”: At the center of Washington, D.C., politics, a powerful group of left-wing activists has leveraged big money, high-level White House access and tax-code loopholes to create a lobbying organization dressed

Shot from the gallery, and not the best quality, but the message is an important one: the force of law comes from a willingness to follow it, or a co-equal willingness of the police to enforce it. What law enforcement determines to do going forward will dictate whether or not Colorado has become an actual police state. Because the fact of the matter is, unless you’ve kept your receipts for

Representative government?  Posh.  Morse knows more than any of the dullards who haven’t had the good sense to make a career out of politics.  And honestly, why should it be all about “the people?”  I mean, if they were so capable of making wise policy decisions, surely they wouldn’t have planted him in office, right?
