NBC describes communism as “one of modern history’s pivotal experiments.” [Darleen Click]

Along with soaring music and images of art & culture that pre-dates the Soviet death-camp era. Gobsmacking. “The towering presence, the empire that ascended to affirm a colossal footprint. The revolution that birthed one of modern history’s pivotal experiments. But if politics has long shaped our sense of who they are, it’s passion that endures. As a more reliable right to their collective heart. What they build in aspirations lifted

Death Panel … [Darleen Click]

The disgusting spin the Left is now taking on the CBO report of 2.5 million jobs lost due to ObamaCare is that people now “free” to not work will reduce unemployment AND be able to indulge in more leisure time. Yet … CBO states, in reference to these impacts, that the “exchange subsidies effectively constitute a tax on labor supply for a broad range of workers.” CBO focuses mostly on

“The Politics of Hate, One Year Later”

The Left will keep their villains villains, even as they make sure those who target these “villains” are never cast as villains themselves.  At least, not in the same identity politics way villains are identified.  Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, CNS: One year ago today, assistant United States attorneys elicited admissions of criminal activity in open federal court from a man who went into an office building on August 15,

If intentionalism / language in politics is fundamentally unserious, why does the left want you to ignore it?

And not just any random leftist, but Mr Soft Totalitarian himself, Cass Sunstein, who would “nudge” you into compliance with a world of his narcissistic design — and who today wants you to forget about all this intent balderdash and come to love the Constitution not for what it is, but for what people like he can do with it, if given the proper hermeneutic latitude. “Resist the Siren’s Call

“Ex-Gov. Jesse Ventura Hiding Out in Mexico From U.S. Drones”

I’m tempted to make a joke about the long-term cognitive effects of shooting horse hormones into your ass, but then, I started to think about the country I’m now living in and, while I think Ventura was probably pile driven one too many times, I can’t really blame him for having a paranoid streak. Can you? Hell. I can envision scenarios in which the media actually would defend a drone

a CITIZEN JOURNALIST observes Obama’s America

I know it’s Wednesday, but somethow it feels like a Monday. Not sure if I’d call that a metaphor, or just the new normal. Meh. Flip a (soon to be worthless) coin.

Give governmental agencies control of health care and what could possibly go wrong?

Whether it’s contracting with Belarusian spies and hackers, or state fraud — in this instance, perhaps prompted by the feeling that the progressive overlords don’t take kindly to hearing bad news: The Oregon Obamacare exchange has been plagued by failure. Its exchange chief, Rocky King, took an extended medical leave after his site managed to enroll only 44 people as of last November, even after receiving over $300 million in grants. Well,

Electability; respectability; realism

It’s a twofer Tuesday:  First, John Boehner, who spends far more time working to fend off conservatism and adding his own establishment paving stones along the road to our serfdom than he does working on behalf of the party base, wants to make it known — to Democrats — that he isn’t one of those kind of Republicans.  Because those kind of Republicans are assholes, according to the august Speaker

“The Obama Administration Moves to Silence 501(c)(4) Organizations”

See? If we just legalize scandalous behavior, scandalous behavior is no longer scandalous but rather is legal.  QED! Now. What was it you wingnuts were saying about investigating the IRS again?  Because frankly, it looks to me like they were just doing their job  — in advance of it really being their job.  And that kind of go-getter attitude is what puts the “progress” in progressive! (h/t newrouter)

“The Belarusian Connection”

And?  Christ. You wingnuts and your paranoia: U.S. intelligence agencies last week urged the Obama administration to check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning that developers linked to the Belarus government helped produce the website, raising fresh concerns that private data posted by millions of Americans will be compromised. The intelligence agencies notified the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency in charge of the Healthcare.gov
