Tweet Progressives and narcissists share an unpleasant trait: If you make a mistake, it proves that you and your ideas are inferior; if they make a mistake, it’s just a mistake. Your mistake is irremediable, because it’s intrinsic to who you are; their mistake is just one of those things, and can be either forcibly [...]

Have Liberals (including religious Liberals) lost their capacity to distinguish between Good and Evil?

Tweet The only thing that’s good about this creepy video is the reminder that the religious revival seems to be over. Many in the audience have packed up and gone home. Some realize that they got sold snake oil, while others look back on the day with longing, but without the fiery energy that propelled [...]

Tweet This post about Eric Holder’s thin skin, arrogance, and sense of entitlement seems like an appropriate companion piece.
Bookworm on Dec 04 2011 | Filed under: Newt Gingrich
Tweet Since at least Reagan, the standard liberal trope is that Republicans, both voters and politicians, are stupid. That trope has, of course, emerged again this year. The joker in the deck is Newt Gingrich, a PhD and author who spokes with incredible fluency and has a masterful grasp of facts. With Newt as the [...]

Tweet One of the reasons a lot of people, myself included, like Newt is because he says politically incorrect things that ordinary people think. In other words, his politically correct utterances aren’t out of the KKK playbook, they’re out of “the reasonable common-sense before 1960s Leftist education took over” playbook. A week ago, he said [...]

Tweet I got the funniest email today, and I just had to share it with you. The “re” line was as follows: “Gibbering baboons more sensible than you, wingnut degenerate.” I was intrigued. The rest of the email consisted of a link to a post, along with the full text of the post in which [...]

Tweet I regularly read James Taranto’s Best of the Web and always enjoy his “Life imitates the Onion” or “Life imitates South Park” shticks. Imagine my surprise today, when I realized that, this time around, life is imitating a very silly satire I did at my blog almost exactly one year ago. In September 2010, [...]

Tweet For conservatives and libertarians, the movie icons might be High Noon or True Grit. For Liberals, the defining anthem is John Lennon’s “Imagine“. Why is there such a fundamental gulf between ourselves and Liberals, to the point where we find ourselves simply talking past each other? Can this gulf ever be bridged? I came [...]

Tweet Today, several schools in Wisconsin announced that they would be closed so that their teachers could attend protests in the state capital, Madison, against GOP Gov. Walker’s proposals to take away collective bargaining rights from public sector unions. Wisconsin, like neighboring Illinois, is going broke. The behavior of the Wisconsin public school teachers pretty [...]

Tweet I attended a family gathering not long ago, liberally populated with Liberal in-laws, in which the mood was decidedly sour. Discussions revolved around the poor job market, employment uncertainty and health insurance. In conversations, a lot of resentment was directed at corporations, CEOs and their “disgusting and greedy” profits, salaries, benefits and bonuses. I [...]

Tweet We are a family of tea drinkers. As dedicated tea drinkers, we like good tea, which usually means loose leaf tea. Loose leaf tea, in turn, means special tea makers. Our favorite is the Adagio Ingenuitea Teapot, which makes one perfect cup of tea at a time. The only downside of the Ingenuitea maker [...]

Tweet As I’ve mentioned just a few times, I just read, and was very moved by, Marcus Luttrell’s Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. A liberal I know flipped through the book’s first few pages and had a very different reaction. The following passages bugged [...]

Tweet “Logic! Why don’t they teach logic at these schools?” — C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Neither Data nor Mr. Spock, two relentlessly logical creations, could ever be liberals or Democrats or Progressives, or whatever the Hell else they’re calling themselves nowadays. (For convenience, I’ll just lump them all together under [...]

Tweet If you’d been around in 1894, you would instantly have recognized the name “Svengali.” He was the chief villain in George du Maurier’s blockbuster novel Trilby. The Svengali plot-line was a simple one: Trilby was an innocent (and tone deaf) laundress and model living in fin de siecle Paris. Svengali hypnotized her into bec0ming [...]

Tweet I found the following paragraph, culled from the San Francisco Chronicle, fascinating (emphasis mine): From top congressional leaders to online activists, liberals have sought the wisdom of UC Berkeley linguistics Professor George Lakoff for years. They ask him to teach them to do something that conservatives traditionally have done better — frame complex policy [...]

Tweet There were so many things wrong with Obama’s speech last night, whether because of dumb ideas, lies, vicious attacks against Constitutional guardians, etc., that criticism actually becomes difficult. It’s kind of like punching Jello, because you just get sucked in. Nevertheless, it is important to criticize, not just Obama’s untruths, but the fundamental flaws [...]

Tweet Vanderleun, who blogs at the wonderful American Digest, put me on to a liberal Massachusetts blog that tells its readers to suck it up and vote for Coakley: Let’s get this out of the way. You might not want to vote for Martha Coakley. You might think she deserves what’s she’s getting after an [...]

Tweet Christmas dinner (which was lovely), included in a brief foray into discussing the Senate’s health care bill. A liberal friend let loose with this terrific line after I said that the Senate had raided Medicare and Medicare Advantage to make the bill ostensibly revenue neutral: “I don’t know anything about the bill, but I [...]

Tweet I love my dojo. The teachers are, without exception, top quality and, also without exception, they are just about the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Oh, one other thing: without exception, they’re pro-Obama and anti-War. What this means is that you have people who dedicate their lives to teaching fighting, and who believe passionately [...]

Tweet We live in different universes: Liberal: They still don’t know why he shot all those soldiers. Me: Of course they do. Liberal: What are you talking about? Me: Come on. They know it has to do with his . . . . Liberal (interrupting): Are you saying that he’s a sleeper cell? Me: No. I’m [...]

Tweet Had Europe been able to vote last November’s presidential elections, Obama would have swept into office with a vote above 95%. Over there, they loved him. He was the antithesis of the ugly American who rode into town and imposed law. This was a guy who would be kind and gentle, and extremely deferential [...]

Tweet Zhombre forwarded this email to me. I think it’s right on the money: If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn`t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn`t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat [...]

Tweet In this world of instant messages, communications, and news coverage, where nothing held back from the viewer and where the phrase “The public has the right to know” is seen as some sort of sacred trust, we have profaned our selves and our society to the god of success. When this is matched with [...]

Tweet My liberal husband still hasn’t forgiven me for pointing out that the MSM deleted from it’s coverage Obama’s request for poupon at a burger joint, nor can he understand why I (and other conservatives) find the request both telling and amusing. These things matter very deeply to the liberals. Tom Elia points out that, [...]
