Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
What the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protestors don’t realize (yet) is that they have been suckered into becoming the agents of their own enslavement. Orwell had it so right in defining the Left because he was a man of the Left. The term “Orwellian” now refers to the Left’s use
Continue readingThe City of Oakland suffered a black eye when its attempt to rout the Occupy Oakland not only failed to move the protest, it managed to create the first martyr, an antisemitic ex-Marine who hates the Marines with an abiding passion. I’m sorry that Oakland made the effort. If I
Continue readingI’ve been having a very interesting email exchange with FP, a friend who sent me the Peter Schiff video that’s now making the rounds: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y28yFxLydzU[/youtube] As you can see, Schiff makes logical points grounded in reality, and the protesters come back with mere protest tactics, rather than making any attempt

Continue readingI find the video below both hysterically funny and terribly tragic. We should all be worried when the insane are the vanguard of what promises to be a dangerous protest movement. One can sympathize with people who have been on the receiving end of societal and government lies for decades,
Continue readingOver at Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft paired a quotation from Elizabeth Warren, in which she supports OWS (and lays claim to providing the movement’s intellectual foundation) with an iconic picture of a movement at the movement. After you check out Hoft’s post, you’ll understand why I’ve slightly modified Warren’s boastful

The fact that I routinely turn a deaf ear to that malign howl doesn’t deter the Veruca practitioners with
Continue readingI have to admit that I don’t understand the “I am the 99%” shtick coming out of OWS. If these people are saying that 99% of the country is poor, with only 1% holding the wealth, perhaps I don’t understand poverty as well as I should. When I think of
Continue readingIn 1969, during the height of the 1960s protest era, a bunch of activists seized land that the University of California, Berkeley, owned, and unilaterally declared that it was a “People’s Park,” unfettered by the petty, mundane and bourgeois concerns of property rights. The takeover was entirely successful, as UCB
Continue readingJKB had a very interesting thought, which I wanted to share with all of you: It appears to me that these OWS protests are a Progressive reaction to Obama jumping into bed with Wall Street. He cheated on them. They feel betrayed but are going after the other woman as
Continue readingUp until recently, the Tea Party might just as well have been called the DevilNaziEvilRacistUgly Party as far as the Progressives and their ilk were concerned. In retrospect, calling participants “Tea Baggers” was one of the nicer things the Left said. Barack Obama did nothing to stop this concerted attack
Continue readingOur society has raised a generation of children who are fixated on unicorns and fairies. The self-esteem movement has told them that their decisions are always perfect. Being perfect, of course, means never having to take responsibility. Our abandonment of discipline means that a generation never had to take responsibility
