The Paradox Of Progressive Idiocy, Billy Bragg Edition

by Smitty via @s_dog on Twitter, via Tim Blair: Billy Bragg: “Jingoism is no answer to England’s ebbing power“: Unless and until we throw off our imperial pretensions and begin to relate to our neighbours as equals, joining with them in creating new networks of active devolution and shared sovereignty, we English are in danger […]

Is Dr. Melissa Going Just A Little Easy On The GOP?

by Smitty I submit that Dr. Melissa Clouthier is going a tad too easy on the GOP here: . . .I never see the GOP pondering their really bad choices in politicians that had money but had little charisma, political deftness or policy intelligence. See also: Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina, and Linda McMahon. And that’s […]

Today’s Metaphor For Progress

by Smitty McPherson Square Park, over at American Glob, has the before/after pictures that show us just how swell Progress can be. I’m looking at the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll, seeing that #OccupyOvalOffice has nearly clawed himself to a single-digit disapproval, and wondering if we’re losing sight of the prize. Between now and November, every […]

Due To Unpopular Demand, The World’s Youngest Blogger May Not Attend CPAC

by Smitty Bill Quick links to Red State discussion of the plans for #OccupyCPAC. Let’s face facts: CPAC is a high-risk evolution. I’m talking about traveling to and from a major hotel in the capital city of the country, in daylight hours, using a mix of public and private transportation. That is really living on […]

Christine Pelosi: Supreme Court Decision Permits Corporations To Broadcast Legislation In The Radio Frequency Spectrum, Threatening Female Health

by Smitty For heaven’s sake, lady, get an editor: On this second anniversary of Citizens United, the court decision equating corporations with people, American women must join together to combat its nefarious effects on our lives and ourt[sic] families. In the past two years, Citizens United has allowed corporations to flood the airwaves and the […]

‘Turning It Around’ Is 99% Turning It Around, And Only 1% Asking ‘Can We Turn It Around?’

by Smitty I got people wondering aloud regarding my optimism. The alternatives are simply navigational hazards: important to recognize, but only for the sake of avoidance. Maybe I’m just stoked from watching Scott Ott lay out the problem clearly and concisely here and here. Progressivism has worked its evil slowly, while no on paid attention. It’s […]

One Of The Best Pages On The Net

by Smitty The topic of deconstruction came up last night. Deconstruction is to art what Postmodernism is to Philosophy, and Progressivism is to our politics: a nihilistic effort to destroy reason, the Enlightenment, and our Constitution. Hence the record here on the blog that I regularly pump as many metaphorical shotgun shells into the whole […]

Froma Harrop And Procul Harum: Both Progressive Rock, But Only One A Band

by Smitty (via The Conservatory) Head over to Dan Collin’s place and watch it, since the embed isn’t playing nicely for us. The tone-deafness (if you will) reaches nearly creepy levels. rdbrewer at AoSHQ has some quoteworthy analysis: I’m left with questions. 1) Did she not know this was John Oliver from The Daily Show, […]
