Liberals nonchalant over problems with Obama’s illegal fundraising apoplectic over anonymous (legal) donors against Obama

Heh. Turn about is fair play, y’all. Via Doug Ross who points out the vast majority of Obama’s haul in 2008 was collected from illegal sources: So two-thirds of Obama’s record haul derives from a website that intentionally disabled all the default security checks that prevent basic fraud like fake addresses and no-name matches ….Here’s the bottom [...]

Cartoon of the day

Just add the whole row of conservative Supremes to the list. H/t: M.

“The greater good”

That’s how Bruce McQuain describes the tendency of liberals to excuse any and all behavior if it’s in pursuit of “the greater good.” Case in point: Darragh McManus praises the blood on Che Guevara’s hands. He writes [emphasis mine]: Yes, Che was ruthless and fanatical and sometimes murderous. But was he a murderer? No, not [...]

Why such a thin skin, Ben Nelson?

Oooh, they’re getting testy after a bad week at the SCOTUS: Scalia also joked that the task of having to review the complex bill violated the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. “You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages?” he quipped. “Is this not totally unrealistic, that we are going to [...]

“It won’t cause the government to have a complete cardiac arrest”

So says Tom Golstein in regards to the government’s “bad day” at the SCOTUS. Please someone, issue a DNR; that’s our best hope for salvaging the country and eliminating debt. More: “‘The government had in my view as bad a day as it reasonably could have,’ said Tom Goldstein, founder of SCOTUSblog and a regular litigator at the [...]

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. [...]

Clarence Thomas the Frodo Baggins of the right?

So suggests Walter Russell Mead after reading Jeffery Toobin’s profile of Clarence Thomas in the New Yorker. He writes of Thomas: his lonely and obscure struggle has led him to the point from which he may be able to overthrow the entire edifice of the modern progressive state Few things have made me smile as [...]

“Does a fallen soldier deserve more respect than an abortionist?”

So asks Phil Lawler discussing the recent SCOTUS Westboro decision. He writes: The Westboro Baptist Church is a nasty little bunch of fanatics, who gain publicity for their fundamentalist views in a particularly loathsome way: by picketing the funerals of fallen American soldiers. But 8 members of the US Supreme Court have agreed that even this [...]

I’m with him: Alito the lone dissenter in SCOTUS ruling in favor of Westboro Baptist

I’ve written about the quest undertaken by Al Snyder’s quest to bar the hateful Phelps family from military funerals in the past. He vowed to fight, and he did all the way to the end. The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of Westboro Baptist’s right to free speech. From Sam Alito’s dissent: Our profound [...]

Pundette: “Kagan lied, babies died.”

What’s a liberal lawyer to do if it turns out that the medical body opposed to legislation banning partial birth abortion “could identify no circumstances under which this procedure . . . would be the only option to save the life or preserve the health of the woman”? In said liberal lawyer’s own words: it “would be [...]
