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.

As I was looking over some bookmarks I had stashed away for Herdwatching posts I realized most of them are simply not timely any more. However this one stands out as being worth a chuckle.

ed note: You should also read the post at Patterico’s Pontifications for more great commentary on this. Thanks for saving the image! It is no surprise to readers of this blog that there are a lot of folks out there who are temperamentally incapable of not seeing the world through the eyes of victimhood politics. [...]

I am headed out overnight, but I wanted to leave this here for you. Here is a look into the mind of Barack Obama, from a 2001 speech. Emphasis added by me. “If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where [...]

This is just staggeringly stupid. Here’s the 411 (h/t to Michelle Malkin)… The B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ invited Charisse Carney-Nunes to waste the time of their students and run an indoctrination session assembly based around here propaganda children’s book “I am Barack Obama”.
