BREAKING VIDEO: MI Union Thugs Greet Right-To-Work Law With Thuggery And Cupcakes, But Mostly Thuggery

by Smitty It seems that the Americans for Prosperity tent was a hotbed of raaaaacism, and the 1% were using it as a base for #WarOnWomen attacks. So I guess you can sympathize with the need for ‘honest’, State-fearing Union Goons to protect the turf on which the tent sat, and the power that the […]

Class Warfare Nation

Media sycophancy provides Democrats with free campaign advertising. It also influences policy. Propaganda works, and the incessant ABC/NBC/CBS drumbeat in favor of Obama’s tax-hike agenda has persuaded a majority Americans that the problem with this country is that the wealthy aren’t “paying their fair share.” Philip Klein points out that higher rates actually increase the […]

First, the people at the ideological extremes of the party have begun to self-ghettoize. The Tea […]

As With #Benghazi Four, So Will Obama Do For The Country At The Fiscal Cliff

by Smitty There really isn’t any need to let Benghazi fall off the radar. Sure, a huge component of the Fiscal Cliff fracas is to control the narrative, and turn John Bohner into Emmanuel Goldstein, spray tan edition. Obama is at least in character. All politics, all the time. Hence the murky lead-in to Benghazi, […]

I Can’t Tell If @AlGore’s Latest Idiotic Utterance Is A Sign Of Improvement

by Smitty Al Gore still owns what, I feel, is the dumbest utterance by a public figure, emphasis mine: From the standpoint of governance, what is at stake is our ability to use the rule of law as an instrument of human redemption. After all has been said and so little done, the truth about […]
