For what it’s worth: You have people right now within the party taking this moment to once again push for gun control and using the scandal – Fast and Furious, using that to do so. They are saying these things openly. It’s astonishing to me. They are very confident – or very afraid. I think it’s fear that is now motivating them. When you have Feinstein coming right out and

Evidently, being spectacularly and publicly wrong about both conservatism and the last Black presidential candidate he analyzed has done nothing to blunt Mr Brooks high regard for both himself and the people with whom he’d willingly share a cucumber sandwich. The GOP is playing a dangerous game with conservatives, classical liberals, and right-libertarians who make up their voting base. And this willingness to try to shame that constitutionalist base into

The timing is probably just coincidental.

First, let me say that I very much liked the format — and my wife, whom I made watch it with me (SEXUAL HARASSMENT!) said after that she learned a whole lot more than she thought she would. The format was far more useful for vetting a potential President than is the soundbite format the mainstream media prefers — the end result of the latter being that an activist press

“The hour’s late. The time is now. And the nation needs you like never before.” Think about it: what the OccupyDC mob tried to overrun last evening was in essence a call for the restoration of individual freedom and autonomy. That is to say, the mob was, by its actions, actually protesting against unalienable rights and the rule of law — the fundamental building blocks of a society that offers
