With an increasing number of stories about rapes and other sexual assaults at the Occupy encampments, more and more conservatives are saying that it’s time for the mayors of any given city to shut the Occupiers down. Example: It’s time for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to pull the plug on the dangerous circus in [...]

I’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: 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 whatsoever at argument. Strangely enough, despite [...]

I 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, and one can feel for [...]

Veruca Salt has been much on my mind lately, probably because I live with a teen and a tween. “I want it now,” is the operative demand in our household. The fact that I routinely turn a deaf ear to that malign howl doesn’t deter the Veruca practitioners with whom I live. The OWS is [...]

I 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 poverty, I think of this: [...]

JKB 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 they just can’t face that [...]

Up 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 against a substantial portion of [...]

Our 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 for their actions. Sass mom? [...]

My kids taught me how to make simple videos, and now I’m going crazy: If the embedded video isn’t showing, you can see it here.

*** *** And Bruce Kesler (with a little back-up material from Glenn Reynolds) adds his own two cents to what’s really going on: Potemkin Protests.

Barry Rubin is talking about the Middle East, but he could just as well be talking about the world wide protests that our dear President is encouraging: There’s a saying that goes something like this: When things are bad, a Jew cries. When they get even worse, a Jew cries more. And when they even [...]

Paul Krugman, who has been cheering the occupying army within a short walk of his own office, somehow hasn’t managed to show up and support them in person. A couple of days ago (and I don’t know how I could have missed this!) he explained why. I’ve offered translations in square brackets, to help you [...]

Antisemitism in connection with OWS was a no-brainer. The Left is antisemitic. It has been since Marx. Hitler institutionalized it to deadly effect. Stalin was less methodical than Hitler, but he made Judaism illegal and instituted various pogroms within his own party to drive out, imprison or kill Jews. No matter how many Jews are [...]
