One of the most awful defenses the usual suspects offered on behalf of Mozilla came (natch) from the New York Times, which opined that Mozilla is “special” and therefore cannot be held to ordinary corporate standards: Mozilla is not a normal company.

I therefore hope that Ben will forgive me for quoting him at some length. After detailing the way in which Brendan Eich’s outing and subsequent destruction began with OKCupid, and then
Continue readingAs of today, I am no longer a Firefox user. I think that, after you read about Brendan Eich’s travails, you’ll agree that you don’t want to be a Firefox user anymore either. Back in 2008, when Prop. 8 was on the ballot asking California voters to legalize gay marriage,

The only allowable morality is that which does not align with traditional Judeo-Christian doctrines. 2. A well-known Hispanic actress was fired from
Continue readingI went to a Safeway in Mill Valley because it was convenient. When I got to the check-out, I was reminded why I never shop at that Safeway: their town council banned plastic bags and you get charged five cents per bag for a paper bag. Next year, all of
Continue readingI enjoy reading my Liberal-Lefty friends’ Facebook posts because they are so insightful into the mindsets of the Left. One insight that I have gained over time is that the differences between us conservatives and the Progressive/Left are so profound that they are unlikely to ever be bridged, barring some
Continue readingOne of my old high school classmates, who is gay and Progressive, posted a heartfelt plea today that all of his Facebook friends do whatever is necessary to keep the “evil” Romney out of office. Evil? That’s an awfully strong word. Hitler was evil. Mao was evil. Stalin was evil.
Continue readingI haven’t yet finished Jonah Goldberg’s The Tyranny of Cliches: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas, which is unusual for me, given that I’ve had it since Friday. It’s the kind of book one gobbles up — but that assumes time to gobble. Since I bought the book

Continue readingEd Morrissey discusses Roseanne Barr’s demand for the guillotine, and ends with just about the best statement I’ve ever seen about the difference between conservative and so-called liberal protests: Just remember that when conservatives organize into grassroots movements, it’s almost always about protecting their own property and individual liberty. When
