Instructive: liberal admits liberalism a dud

If the battle of ideals were played out truthfully in front of the public, liberals would lose. From the NYT, a key player in the destruction of Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork speaks truth to power [emphasis mine]: It is, to be sure, completely understandable that the Democrats wanted to keep Bork off the court. [...]

Why young liberals should pay attention in history class

To avoid lookin’ like fools. Ann Coulter: Sally Kohn, a self-identified “community organizer,” praised the Wall Street loiterers on CNN’s website, comparing the protest to the Boston Tea Party, which she claimed, “helped spark the American Revolution,” adding, “and yes, that protest ultimately turned very violent.” First of all, the Boston Tea Party was nothing [...]

Have a party at home, just make sure you don’t talk about God!

What is this, Communist Russia? Via American Spectator, the latest reminder that your home is not your own: An Orange County couple has been ordered to stop holding a Bible study in their home on the grounds that the meeting violates a city ordinance as a “church” and not as a private gathering. Homeowners Chuck [...]

I’m with her: Lan astaslem

Michelle Malkin attended a memorial service this morning at America the Beautiful Park here in Colorado Springs. I attended Mass. She left inspired and with her resolve intact. I left angry and disillusioned. My husband and I looked at each other in near disbelief this morning as our priest derided the aftermath of 9/11 much [...]

It never fails to take me by surprise

To see liberals with such a disdain for our country that I wonder how they’ve managed to stay so long. I don’t usually think of myself as naive, but reading this bit of vile liberal self-loathing from Paul Krugman feels like a slap: What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the [...]

Never forget

Pray for the families whose lives changed forever that day. Pray for military families whose lives changed forever that day.

Light that fuse under liberals

Stephen Moore compares Obamanomics and Reaganomics. It ain’t pretty: If you really want to light the fuse of a liberal Democrat, compare Barack Obama’s economic performance after 30 months in office with that of Ronald Reagan. It’s not at all flattering for Mr. Obama. The two presidents have a lot in common. Both inherited an [...]

The flimflam man at the Pentagon

When I saw Leon Panetta’s impassioned plea not to imperil our security or the military with draconian cuts, I figured it was a ruse. He’s a liberal budget cutter. Obama would love the chance to gut the military further. Turns out I’m not the only one who thinks Panetta is playing games. James Carafano at the Heritage Foundation [...]

Ah, a deal: does it even matter?

After reading Mark Steyn at his most scathing, no: The Democrat model of governance is to spend $4 trillion while only collecting $2 trillion, borrowing the rest from tomorrow. Instead of “printing money,” we’re printing credit cards and pre-approving our unborn grandchildren. To facilitate this proposition, Washington created its own form of fantasy accounting: “baseline budgeting,” [...]

Wave those flags, y’all

Everywhere. Via Rush this afternoon, liberals at US News and World Report freak out: Just a brief exposure to an image of the American flag shifts voters, even Democrats, to Republican beliefs, attitudes and voting behavior even though most don’t believe it will impact their politics, according to a new two-year study just published in [...]
