“Conservative group launches campaign to ‘depose’ Boehner from speakership”

Finally. Some people who understand that a bureaucratic GOP awaiting its turn at the statist trough is every bit at odds with the founding principles as is the New Left, who have taken over the Democratic party. Daily Caller: The backlash against Speaker of the House John Boehner’s removal of several conservative members of Congress from committees continued Wednesday, with one conservative group calling for Republicans to “depose” Boehner from

“Gallup: 53 Percent of Democrats Have ‘Positive Image’ of Socialism”

Meaning that 47% of Democrats are probably racists. So.  Can we finally note that the majority of Democrats — represented most obviously in their party leadership — have a bit of the old Marx fever, and the only cure is more (collective) cowbell?

Define “conservative”

Because I don’t know what it means any longer — particularly when the term has become has been so diluted that it now includes among its members those who voted for Obama and believe critiques of the Obama phone are “racist,” or cheer on deals that would raise taxes and raise the debt ceiling without significant cuts in spending, while simultaneously blasting conservative candidates for daring to give honest voice

“EPA’s engine destroying gas may be coming soon”

So help them, they will have us herded into controlled urban centers if it’s the last thing they do. After all, how else can they keep the riff raff off the prime, secluded real estate? NetRightDaily: E15 is a blend of regular gasoline mixed with 15 percent ethanol.  The pumps are recognized by their black and orange labels. And that label is not something you want to ignore. In an

“The Budget Baseline Con”

I linked this in my previous post, but just to make sure the information is laid out, allow me to quote from it here.  WSJ: If the fiscal cliff talks make Lindsay Lohan look like a productive member of society, perhaps it’s because President Obama and John Boehner are playing by the dysfunctional Beltway rules. The rules work if you like bigger government, but Republicans need a new strategy, which

My respectful response to Dana Milbank, who believes the GOP needs to “unshackle itself from the far right”

I offer this in addition to Darleen’s earlier post, with the note that JD passed the Milbank column on to me last evening. Dear Dana: You needn’t worry.  The “far right,” that is, those fringe racist neo-Birchers who fetishize the Constitution and believe raising taxes on job producers in a time of high unemployment and slow or stagnant growth — particularly when the “revenue enhancers,” totaling $90 billion (enough to

WaPo Dana Milbank: Romney lost, but he OWES Obama fealty or something [Darleen Click]

How dare Mitt go back to being a private citizen! The nation is heading toward the “fiscal cliff,” but have no fear: Mitt Romney is coming to the rescue — of Marriott International Inc. In his first public comments since election night, the defeated Republican presidential nominee issued a statement Monday announcing his next step. An appeal to national unity? A charitable initiative? No, he announced that he was rejoining

The real American Taliban [Darleen Click]

Anti-theists HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A threatened lawsuit had put a halt to what’s become a Christmas tradition for members of the Moanalua High School orchestra. For the past six years, the award-winning group and volunteers from the New Hope Church have raised more than $200,000 for a charity that treats poor people in Africa. But that all came to a halt on Monday when the Department of Education decided to

Media malpractice, redux

The Right Sphere: You want to know why 53% of the American public is poised to blame Republicans for going over the fiscal cliff? You want to know why 53% of the American public still blames Bush for the recession caused by the housing bubble Bush had almost nothing to do with? [Incurious, dishonest] Journalists have failed to do their jobs. Their jobs used to be to provide the information

“Poll: Americans Favor Legalization of Marijuana 51-44%”

Stock tip: invest heavily in Doritos and Hot Pockets. And it wouldn’t hurt to throw some bones behind whatever that stuff is that Ferris Bueller’s teacher claims takes the red out. I suspect sandals will be making a furious comeback, as well.
