Liberal logic when it comes to guns

Will those who benefit from Obamacare offset those who are harmed by it?
At PowerLine, Paul Mirengoff analyzes a Politico article that attempts to assess the political fallout from Obamacare. The Politico writers, says Mirengoff, acknowledge that those in the individual insurance market aren’t feeling the love for the Democrats now, but imply that the majority of these people would have voted Republican
Continue readingThe Democrats’ prescription for slavery has always been the same: “Get over it. It’s the law.”
Obamacare fails at so many levels it’s hard to count them. It fails because it’s the only piece of significant legislation in American history to be passed on strict partisan lines, using procedural tricks and bribes, and with a majority of American people disapproving of it. It fails because its
Continue readingFinally!! A gun control proposal that makes sense
The repulsive Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson made news yesterday by putting out a fundraising letter that likens the Tea Party to the KKK (which, during its heyday, was an entirely Democrat organization): Today, in a very timely way, Caped Crusader sent me the first sensible gun-control proposal I’ve seen, when
Continue readingMonday morning flotsam and jetsam
When it comes to my cold, I’m seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Whew! I’m hoping to be up to full blogging speed soon but, in the meanwhile, here are things I found when doing my usual morning reading rounds: This is a marvelous paragraph from Karen
Continue readingWhat do you think about a senior Obama administration person saying “We don’t care what’s happening in the US?”
An anonymous Obama administration insider explained why the President and the Senate are refusing to compromise, even to the point of refusing to accept piecemeal funding for expenditures everyone supports: Said a senior administration official: “We are winning…It doesn’t really matter to us” how long the shutdown lasts “because what
Continue readingA few short observations regarding the shutdown *UPDATED*
Unlike past shutdowns, which were indeed quibbles about this or that, the current shutdown is a big deal. The question posed is a fundamental one about the very nature of this nation: Is the federal government the servant or the master of the American people. Our Constitution says the former;

It’s all good, guys. I’ve finally figured out what’s been going on. We’ve just been reading history dead wrong. The operating historic premise is that the KKK and the Democrat party parted ways during the Civil Rights movement. When the KKK guys realized that northern Democrats who supported civil rights

Darryl Issa has tweeted out one of the most appalling photographs I’ve ever seen emerge from the United States House of Representatives. Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. You remember what happened on that day, don’t you?
Continue readingThe despicable attacks on Ted Cruz begin
Conservatives attack a Democrat’s political ideas. Democrats, and their media lap-dogs, attack Conservatives. The attacks on Ted Cruz are, as could be anticipated, despicable. Exhibit A. Exhibit B. It’s entirely possible that Ted Cruz might not be presidential material. That rests on whether people like what he stands for and
Continue readingElbert Guillory starts a PAC to fund black conservatives
I liked Elbert Guillory from the first time he crossed my radar, when he was still a Democrat. I continue to like him, as you can see in his video introducing the Free at Last PAC, aimed at introducing blacks to conservative principles. He’s remarkably good at explaining free market
Continue readingA bad day for Democrats
I mentioned that the only news I get here comes from the New York Times digest that’s handed out to interested passengers. I don’t have a copy at hand, but if my memory serves me, this is what I read: 1. House Republicans are standing firm against the President’s effort
Continue readingElbert Guillory explains why he is a Republican — and they are words that EVERY American should hear
I’ve already admitted to my crush on Elbert Guillory, a crush that formed when he was still a Democrat, although he must already have been planning to leave that party. My political crush has just deepened into a full-blown, out-and-out case of political passion. If you haven’t yet watched this
Continue readingFor AIPAC, trying to function in a world with entirely different rules
Gandhi is revered because his policy of peaceful resistance brought down the British Empire’s century’s old rule over India. It’s true. It did. But what few are willing to acknowledge is that this tactic worked only because he was using it against a moral nation, one that had been financially
Continue readingIs nice Marin County an outlier or American ordinary? (In the nicest possible way.)
For reasons I’ll explain shortly, I was kvelling to a friend about how wonderful Marin County is. I then wrapped up by saying the Marin is an outlier, unlike the rest of America. The moment the words were out of my mouth, it occurred to me that I’m probably wrong.
