The actual God that religious people believe in. Had she written about her admiration for the State, that would be okay — and would be akin, in the minds of progressive educators, to expressing an admiration for God, only a more palatable one, the kind that promotes conformity and communism and whose angels wander the earth with bad haircuts wearing bureaucratic badges.

“Postpone Obamacare compromise the only plan that might work”
Let’s face it: if the GOP leadership can’t both accept this and then push it as a compromise, then what I’ve been saying for a year or so now is true: the GOP establishment really wants ObamaCare, because like the progressives, they are themselves big government statists looking to control a nation of subjects rather than represent a nation of free men and women. That is, they embrace tyranny —

Journalists (sic) drop the veil [Darleen Click]
1953 — my father, now 85, was fresh out of the Army (having been recalled for Korea), started working in the newspaper business in Los Angeles. First at The Citizen News, later for The Examiner (leaving when they merged with The Herald). While he worked the advertising side, he frequented the newsroom and got to know many of the reporters. He also got me started, when I was 10, on

Pwned! Putined! [Darleen Click]
Victor Davis Hanson on Putin’s letter in the New York Times If it were regrettable that Vladimir Putin’s formidable diplomatic skills were wasted squashing rather than ensuring freedom inside Russia, it seems even more lamentable that his impressive prose likewise is not put to better use. Putin’s letter to us, the American people, is brilliant sophistry. The best rhetoric is always that which blends truth with half-truth and occasional fiction.

eBay has pulled the listing for sales of this bumpersticker — clearly a parody of a widely available bumpersticker famous for its inane bromide, and therefore protected against charges of [trademark] infringement — for, well, [trademark] infringement. Or so they claim. Personally, I think the forces of “coexist” leftism mounted an organized attack against the seller and had his speech removed. Because while we expect the Israelis and Americans to

If you missed O’s speech on Syria, never fear
You likely heard it the first time. When Bush gave it. Of course, with Bush there were no takebacks. So there’s that difference, for you serial nitpickers.

On the Colorado recall elections
I wasn’t able to blog about it yesterday, but from my newly-configured phone I did manage to belch out a late-night Tweet that encapsulates my take on the thing. The contents of which will come as a surprise to no one here. But just for the record: “Giron, Morse recalled; anti-salt, anti-transfat, anti-styrofoam gun grabbing pimps & their presumptuous stable of Dem whores hardest hit.” Yeah. That’ll about sum it

Welcome to BoehnerCare.
“House Republicans all set to fund Obamacare: Sometimes you have to wonder why they even bother. A new proposal by House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) that purports to defund Obamacare will do exactly the opposite. It will guarantee that it is funded, meanwhile providing political cover to elected leaders who can claim they did everything they could to stop implementation of the law. The plan calls for passing
