Dissin’ Liberty
Maybe what we see today is a final struggle for America between those that want to be free and those that don’t.
Continue readingConservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.

Continue readingThe OWS people have made much of their pathetic status compared to the “wealthy 1%.” As I’ve mentioned before, this is a completely spurious argument, because it makes the 99% sound like a single homogenous lump all similarly situated to medieval serfs. Nothing could be further from the truth. In

Continue readingI can’t remember if I wrote it here, but I know that, in lunches with Don Quixote, I’ve discussed the parallels between the OWS protests and the Chicago convention in 1968. Rather than gather my slightly fragmented thoughts, I’ll just pass the baton to Bruce Kesler, who ably discusses the
Continue readingOWS may not have an intelligible platform, but it has a goal. Zombie makes that point perfectly clear.
Continue readingWhen my son was very little, he always asked me, “Are lions bad?” What he really meant to ask is “Are lions evil?” I always explained to him that lions aren’t bad, because they don’t make moral decisions. They are animals, acting according to instinct. Evil means understanding right or
Continue readingThis is as pithy a summary as any I’ve seen about the antisemitism permeating Occupy Wall Street, and binding together the Left, the Islamists, and the White Supremacists: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmTMIjkMoLk[/youtube] (If the video isn’t showing up, watch here.) By the way, why is no one commenting on the fact that the

Continue readingYou and I have long known that the Occupy movement is destructive, not constructive. The MSM, however, was very excited, largely because they too knew it was destructive. Their problem was that they assumed it would destroy “Wall Street.” By the way, there’s an amorphous concept if ever I heard
Continue readingThoughts during a busy day: Idle thought 1: I want to have Mewt Gingney for my candidate. Newt Gingrich is a completely principled conservative with, in his past at least, an unprincipled private life. Mitt Romney is an unprincipled conservative with, from the past to the present, what appears to
Continue readingI’ve got sex on my mind today. It’s not because I’ve suddenly morphed into a 13 year old boy. It’s because there are a lot of headlines today about sex, which also made me think about missing sex headlines and false sex headlines. First, of course, the Herman Cain sex
Continue readingWhat 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 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
