Sign the petition.  We aren’t supposed to have a king and a court.  We’re supposed to own the government; instead, the government acts like our pimp, demanding we go out and earn to subsidize its velvet-lined Cadillac and fur cape. Your political affiliation shouldn’t make a damn bit a difference here.  “Progressives” who go on constantly about “fairness” — and yet who back a law that is fundamentally inequitable, at

The King and you: And yes, I fully expect that I’m on any number of potential “domestic terrorist” lists.  But fuck it.  Of course, if there’s a list for telling the truth and sticking to my intellectual guns (pardon the pun), I’m on that one, as well. I can live with that. (h/t Guido)

What’s the lesson here?  Well, to me, it’s that if Cruz, Lee, et al., really are engaging in a “gimmick” in order to milk the dullards in the grass roots of their money — and that in truth they really aren’t terribly hopeful about rallying the GOP establishment behind their cause, and the cause of we, the people — at least they’re doing more work to run their con then

From Freedom Works alerts: Right now, Ted Cruz is fighting on the Senate floor to protect you from ObamaCare. He is leading a filibuster to make sure Harry Reid doesn’t force hard-working Americans pay for a health care disaster they don’t want or need. But he needs reinforcements on the Senate floor! The more Senators that join Ted Cruz, the better chance we have at stopping ObamaCare. Call your Senators

At the University of Cincinnati, it can be defined as disagreeing with the policies of those who happen to be African American. Totalitarianism and dishonest, cynical race-baiting.  It’s the new black! A reminder, however: The right to speak “uncivilly” is well established. As the Supreme Court of the United States held in Texas v. Johnson, “If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government

Oh, I know!  As I’m a “teabagger” — and therefore a racist, QED — let me say this:  very very very white progressives, mostly the kind with advanced degrees in the humanities, or training in leftwing activist journalism or Keynesian economics, provide the intellectual cover for contemporary slavery, which takes the form not of whips and chains and fugitive slave acts, but rather is created with political calculation to form

Do you think we’re total morons?  That is, us, outside the Beltway, who — unlike you, and some other special interests — will be forced to live under ObamaCare? Do you think proclaiming publicly that “I’m voting for the bill the House passed” while simultaneously refusing to hold firm against Reid’s likely attempted measure to strip out the defunding language with a simple majority — which we all know the

…and conclude that it’s time to burn this whole fucking thing down and begin from scratch? — that, because we no longer have liberty, and as such, we no longer are free people, but rather cattle of the state and its various political appendages, we have nothing much to lose? I did. Anyway, if anybody is starting such a movement, give me a holler.  I’m good at stacking sandbags, and

Matt Vespa, CNS News: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told CNN yesterday that there isn’t a single thing the government can afford to cut from its budget: “[T]he cupboard is bare. There’s no more cuts to make. It’s really important that people understand that.” Oh, really? Just off the top of my head, here are a dozen things the government could’ve cut to save the taxpayers some money: 1.
