Right As Usual

Yep, he's targeting the filibuster. He MIGHT want to wait until AFTER the election. The Democrats may need that filibuster. Share

Listen. That Whirring Sound you hear is the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves. The PREZ - That DUDE - appeared on Jon Stewart. That DUDE is complaining that the last 2 years have been more difficult that any time since the Great Depression. Please. How about that little thing called WWII? How about the Cuban Missile Crisis? How about the 60s and 70s, when radicals such as YOUR BUDDY, Bill Ayers, bombed, rioted, and did all that they could to tear down this republic? How about the Iranian Hostage Crisis, when we were freezing in our homes (thanks, Jimmuh) - I actually had frost on my inside walls in the winter of 1977-78 - and the Whiner in Chief dithered about what to do, what to do. It wasn't until that - what did they call him? - that COWBOY was inaugurated that the Iranians stopped the party, and released them, pronto. He may have walked tall, but he was also willing to carry a big stick - and they knew that he would use it. So, the hostages came hom...

I'm at my husband's school - he has parent night - they pick up report cards, and discuss the performance of the students. He has a lot of students' parents in tonight; he only took over the class just over a week ago. I'm catching up on relaxing time; I left work late, so I've earned a little time off. Share

Which is more important? [Click image to enlarge.] So, why do we take so lightly the possibility of theft of our votes? Share

WHY the TEA Party People are so P!$$&D OFF!  The modern Tea Party movement is made up of people peacefully protesting tax rates that, taken in total, approach half of all of their income; protesting the takeover by unelected czars of entire sectors of the economy; protesting the drunken orgy of spending not only the present wealth of the nation but the wealth of our children and our children’s children; protesting waste on a scale where a billion dollars – one thousand million dollars – is essentially undectable, a rounding error… all of that, which its critics decry as mouth breathing paranoia… while the founders, enshrined in the mural surrounding these documents and which these same critics claim to revere – these founders, the greatest minds ever assembled in one place in the history of the world – took their country to war against the greatest military force on the planet because of a one-cent tax on tea. Think about that! Forget the penny tax! It was never abo...

As a history major in college, I was familiar with the basic facets of feudalism.  I would have said that just about all of those features were absent in modern life. And, I would have been wrong. Let's just take one aspect of feudalism: Legal Equality Feudalism assigned people to different classes based on birth and assigned different privileges and obligations to the classes. The noble classes were considered a different order of humanity from the commoners, and the two groups led separate lifestyles. In addition to huge economic disparities, the two groups had very different rights. If one was of noble birth in Japan, for instance, he could carry a sword. For commoners, unlawful possession of a sword was a capital crime. In progressive America, two groups today have a parallel distinction. Birth, and birth alone,* determines whether one is a member of a designated victim class, entitled to preferences in college admissions, scholarships, and employment, factors which have...

I'm going to share only a small part of this TrulyGood-No-ExcellentPost . Perhaps no other truth rattles the liberal brain as much as the recognition that Fascists, and Nazis in particular, are a  Far Left phenomena . I’m reminded of a skit by the English comedy team,  Mitchell & Webb .  In the skit they portray two Nazi officers, one of whom suddenly notices that they all have a skull-and-crossbones on their caps.  “Does that make us the baddies?” he asks. One may feel a certain compassion for the many liberals who must be feeling varying degrees of cognitive dissonance these days (“We’re the Nazis?  Doh!”).  Now that the cat’s out of the bag, so to speak, it’s only a matter of time before liberals start rewriting, revising, and otherwise changing, history, in order to paint Hitler as not only misunderstood, but unfairly demonized, as well.  There have already been moves made in that direction.     (Link) The Liberals will, by and ...

If you don't read Eternity Road , you're missing a treat.  One recent post asked: Just what are the "social issues?" What priorities do social conservatives hold that they feel are being unduly slighted? Time was, the political topics that escaped economic classification went collectively by the term vice:  illegal drugs, prostitution, illicit gambling, pornography. We don't hear that term too often these days. The War on Drugs has been lost  de facto; prostitution has proved ineradicable, and in some manifestations has even become somewhat respectable; gambling is mostly done through state lotteries and state-licensed casinos; and pornography, except for child porn, is now protected by law. So that old quinella has been displaced from the marquee of political discussion. What has replaced it? For many, the social issues boil down to  abortion, federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, and same-sex marriage.  Yes, there are other social issues that are ...
