Of course she does.  I mean, Pol Pot?  There’s a man who could “get things done”!  And Samantha Power values a powerful, imperial Executive — and is unafraid to express her appreciation for those who fought for such a thing.  Dissent being the highest form of patriotism, unless you happen to be one of those fucking teabaggers. It isn’t even hidden any longer:  these people openly pine for Chinese-style authoritarian

Come now. Who didn’t expect a non-apology apology from the faculty-lounger-in-Chief for the spectacular early failure of his “signature legislation”? I mean, Christ, I’m still a bit shocked he didn’t blame white privilege, Bush, Big Pharma, or AIPAC, which controls both Big Banking and the media. Andrew Malcolm, IBD: Attempting to staunch the growing furor over his countless misrepresentations about Americans keeping their existing health plan under ObamaCare, the Democrat

As the father of two boys, this may be one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever read. Seriously.  It’s totally fucked up my day and I haven’t even had a cup of coffee yet. There’s a simple take away here: never call in armed people who are ready to shoot your dog on sight to “teach a lesson” to your kids. Not that I blame the dad at all.

It’s not until all law-abiding and productive citizens can be criminalized that the government can truly control free men and women.  Which I believe is a paraphrase from  “shit Ayn Rand either said, implied, or would have said or implied, had she thought of it.”  “A man’s home is his castle, except in Maryland. Man shoots intruder at 2am, gets charged with murder”: US Air Force Tech Sgt. Matt Pinkerton

The College Fix: The UC Berkeley student government has banned the term “illegal immigrant” from its discourse, deeming the phrase racist, offensive, unfair and derogatory. In an unanimous vote, student senators passed a resolution that stated the word “illegal” is “racially charged,” “dehumanizes” people, and contributes to “punitive and discriminatory actions aimed primarily at immigrants and communities of color.” The “resolution in support of drop the I-word campaign” was approved 18

“Even though we don’t run in the same circles — unless we’re in one of those embarrassing situations where we’re both hitting on the same Hooter’s waitress up here, which has happened more than you might think, with my holding a very slight edge in the scoring department, thanks in large part to having never drowned any chick in a car — Teddy Kennedy has spent a lot of time

Not only was a New Mexico man, who’d been shopping at Wal-Mart, stopped by police for a rolling stop at a stop sign, but these very observant civic heroes who had just stopped this potential drifting intersection menace, noticing what they said appeared to be the now “suspect’s” clenching of his buttocks, determined that he must be hiding drugs.  In his ass.  And so naturally they obtained a warrant.  To

When the State becomes your conscience and your god, and its unionized teachers, armed with the statist’s materialist gospel and ordered to proselytize, become your priests and spiritual advisers, your role as parent is no longer truly needed, save that you are expected to raise your children with the “right” views, and with the “right diet,” and with the “right” degree of subservience to the goodness of the community, even

Forget that the name “red skins” had as its actual, historical referent the translation of what Native Americans called themselves; forget, too, that the Washington football team was given the name in honor of a Native American.  Instead, just note that somewhere, some poor, dumb, thin-skinned soul may affect an outrage totally outsized with respect to a name that has been around for multiple decades — and then conveniently come,

How many times have you read me write that, politically, it’s the ruling class vs the rest of us — and that party formalities are merely that, a near distinction without a difference intended to perpetuate the theater of competing ideas, when really all they are is a fan dance disguising that the only real difference is an agreement on the rapidity and thoroughness of big government expansion. It’s a
