The Tea Party is the first serious, popular political movement that shows signs of having real legs in a long time in the U.S. and it is simply driving the Democratic Party and the far left out of their minds. To understand the threat the Tea Party represents to the agenda of the far left [...]

Cat fight! Susannah Breslin over at True/Slant put up a post stating the obvious about the recent upswing in “trigger warning” silliness. Namely that 99% of the time the purpose of using a “trigger warning” is to make sure the readers of a particular blog who are drawn to stuff that annoys them* don’t miss [...]

The old tricks aren’t working any more – but they are trying all of them. Most recently they are dragging out the faux horror and outrage of the scared victim. Things have become to mean they say. Some of them have even begun questioning whether the first amendment covers saying bad things about our Dear Leader and his cohorts. With one hand on their foreheads they manage to ask us to consider that all this anger is dangerous right before they faint into a self-righteous heap.

I don’t think it is possible to deny that racism exists in America. What seems to be in contention is how much of it, and in what form. Of course how to lessen it’s impact and what sort of societal attitudes are useful to do that are also a point of argument. Recently Keith Bardwell, [...]

Of course if you’re really going to get [...]

Ah, the classic battle cry of our times… if something doesn;t go your way and you can claim membership in some victim group, then obviously that is the problem. This has become dramatically more prevalent since Obama has taken office because now the idea has the full weight and propaganda of a major political party [...]

I’ve been twittering a lot of late, and as such the number of pure blog style entries here have dropped off. I don’t see that as a problem to be honest. However, occasionally there is something worth a long form comment. Enter our hero, Van Jones. I am sure Van is a man who passionately [...]

A couple of parents in Sweden have decided to throw away anything to do with reality and human development in order to follow a particularly silly conceit of modern radical feminism. “In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, the parents were quoted saying their decision was rooted in the feminist philosophy that gender [...]

It is just starting to sink in to some of the groups that supported Obama just how badly you chose when you voted for this guy. Well, when I say “chose” I mean “blindly believed in and slavishly worshipped”. I mean, it isn’t liek you actually looked at the alternatives, or actually paid any attention [...]
