Well, I’ve been arguing so for years, because I don’t think that taking the party over is a realistic option: a quick look at the GOP presidential nominees since Reagan tells us that, and this primary season — where we watched the “conservative” online mouthpieces consistently pushing the inevitability of Romney, having first dismissed nearly every other candidate as unserious (save for the Texas Romney, a staunch electable conservative, we
What we would have learned from the Aurora theater shooting, had we listened to nothing but the mainstream press: a brief, incomplete list
1. The shooter wore body armor and tactical protective gear, which is impervious to everything except armor piercing bullets (banned for civilian use) and Kryptonite. 2. Which is precisely why we need to ban body armor and tactical protective gear except for military and law enforcement. 3. And of course, he bought ammunition online, in bulk. That needs to stop. 4. That ammo he bought? Was to put in his
“Morsy’s pardon decree ‘includes 25 Jamaa al-Islamiya, Islamic Jihad leaders'”
Arab spring, literally and symbolically sprung! How perfect is that? Meanwhile, even in the wake of the official report on how political correctness likely aided in the Fort Hood massacre, it’s somehow unconscionable and dangerous — McCarthyism! Islamaphobia! — to ask for investigations into a group like the Muslim Brotherhood, who has gained access to the White House, and who has a state goal to undermine the miserable house of
Quick takes [Darleen Click]
Life imitates Spinal Tap, this time without the foil. Joe Patterno’s statue is removed from Penn State. If anyone is upset at this, just turn your head and pretend it didn’t happen. “If you want to call it ‘quid pro quo,’ fine.” Oky doky then, we will. “He took a bullet for me.” Harry Reid wants you to kick in some of your online spending to him. You know, for
“Obama’s Enemies List” [bh]
… runs into the hundreds of millions, I assume. However, it does appear that being towards the top of that list is even less fun than it is for the rest of us. I imagine a Republican presidential candidate could do quite a bit to curtail these abuses by stating publicly that he will order the DOJ* to investigate all these complaints and to seek the maximum criminal penalties available
“Unemployment Rose in 27 States In June”
…And if all goes as planned for Obama and the socialist left, they should have that figure rising in all 57 states by next February — and a bunch of new taxes to make sure they continue rising forever! Because Bush! Forward!
Apologies won’t do this time: Brian Ross needs to resign, or ABC needs to fire him
No, this wasn’t a mistake based on insignificant vetting. It was wishful thinking from a partisan pseudo-journalist who, for obvious reasons, immediately began scouring TEA Party sites looking for a name to match that of the shooter. Rather than, say, the Democrat voter rolls. Ross wanted to draw the connection. ABC has issued an apology and Ross an on-air mea culpa. So what? This was the way the mainstream press
Is Gov Scott’s office disclaiming any responsibility for Angela Corey and her zealousness?
One of the protein wisdom commentariat wrote to Gov Scott’s office regarding what he considered the unethical behavior of the Republican prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case. Here’s the response received: Thank you for contacting Governor Rick Scott’s Office and sharing your concerns about a Florida criminal case. The Governor asked that I respond on his behalf. Governor Scott supports a full and fair investigation into all of the circumstances
