It seems that every week brings some stupid/repulsive piece of legislation out of the Democratic “leadership”. A few weeks ago, it was the repellent People’s Rights Amendment. Then last week, it was the Trayvon Amendment. And now, it’s the Ex-Patriot Act:
Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin has gone ahead and given up his U.S. citizenship before the social network’s IPO, thereby saving an estimated $67 million in taxes, and personally pissing off our nation’s leaders.
Ladies and gentlemen, your nontroversy of the week is the report that Mitt Romney bullied a kid in high school:
There was no Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or sexting when several fellow students at a posh Detroit-area prep school say 18-year-old Romney led a boy posse to hold down one among them perceived as different and snip off his bleached blond hair.
The victim, John Lauber, is dead now, but The Washington Post reported when it
Well, after some 3 1/2 disastrous years, riddled with bad and destructive policy that put the protection and expansion of the nanny-state over the welfare of the citizenry, I am not surprised to find out that with the race card losing its power because they over played it so heavily for the past 4 ½ years, that democrats now need training on how to effectively play that race card for better effect:
House Democrats
The good news is that this is going precisely nowhere. So the only use it has is to give us something to point and laugh at.
House Democrats said Tuesday they will offer an amendment to push to overturn stand-your-ground self-defense laws in states like Florida.
The amendment, which would withhold some grants from states that have such laws, will come as part of the House’s debate on the Commerce Department spending bill.

Read this. Then read this. The first is Paul Krugman praising Argentina’s “economic model” of plundering, theft and deception, claiming its performance has been comparable to Brazil’s. The second is Juan Carlos Hidalgo’s response pointing out that Krugman (1) uses Argentina’s official inflation numbers, which economic journals have stopped using because they are transparent lies; (2) starts his analysis two years after Argentina’s recession began; (3) compares Argentina with a relatively poorly-performing country … Read more
In a stunning display of how unconcerned and unrealistic the left really is, a too large majority of the people that live off the labor of the productive, voted to keep the gravy train speeding down the tracks towards the collapsed bridge. The winning ticket?
Sunday’s election capped a stunning comeback for Hollande, whose career appeared to be all but over after he left the leadership of the Socialist Party in 2008.

Best explenation I have seen yet of why we should fear these popular movements like OWS ever:
History is replete with Peoples’ movements that, claiming weight of numbers and well-meaning intentions for others, have changed the course of society–but not necessarily for the better. In other words, pathologically altruistic movements.

The Occupy movement seeks to make things fair for everyone, not by allowing people to flourish with their natural talents, but rather by focusing
Government will pay for you abortions and contraceptives baby, but in return, well, in return we want the right to expand our ability to snoop on you with more ease. And don’t worry, when we can find anything and everything out about you, we will not abuse any of that at all. Only republicans, if you are crazy enough to elect them, will abuse this!

That’s the message you get if you have the fortitude to sit through this ridiculous collectivist campaign piece titled “The life of Julia” that Team Obama is banking on to remind the people that vote for a living who gives them their government cheese. The message is clear. Without democrats and the largesse their government programs produce, this woman conveniently named Julia and her son, whom also is conveniently given a Christian name, Zachary, would … Read more
