Reason TV documents what I’ve been saying for years: that the Democrats are “pro-choice” only as far as abortion goes. On everything else, they are about as anti-choice as anyone you could imagine:
Now you may think that Reason found a bunch of freaks to make their point. You would be wrong. Most of what they articulate is straight out of the Democratic Party platform: anti-school-choice, anti-right-to-work, pro-Nanny-State (although it bears pointing out that the … Read more
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is rapidly rivaling Nancy Pelosi as “Democrat Most Likely to Say Something Dumb and Hilarious”. For your amusement, here is Anderson Cooper destroying her on the Romney abortion issue.
(The link has a preliminary minute where Anderson explains that the GOP abortion plank is essentially unchanged since 2000).
Of course, we all know that Anderson is a Right Wing homophobic woman-hating lunatic, right? Right? Oh, yeah.
Batten down the hatches. This is going to SCOTUS:
A federal appeals court Thursday declared that the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutionally denies federal benefits to married gay couples, a groundbreaking ruling all but certain to wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In its unanimous decision, the three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said the 1996 law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a
Sweet Jesus, yes:
That’s Penn, going off on Obama joking about drug use while he continues to prosecute the War on Drugs. It’s beautiful.
I think Penn hits a point that can not be emphasized enough: the role that class and wealth play in the War on Drugs. As P.J. O’Rourke pointed out in Parliament of Whores, rich connected people who do drugs need treatment and help (or, more often, a bong and a … Read more
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
Barack Obama today said he supports allowing gays to marry. While this is an important win for gay rights, I’m not terrifically impressed nor do I think it will have an impact on the election. Several media outlets are alleging that his “evolution” was more of a response to gay donors and bundlers threatening to withhold contributions (and good for them for holding his feet to the fire). But, more importantly, we all knew this … Read more
You know, I give up. The people in this Administration are just fucking stupid:
A proposal from the Obama administration to prevent children from doing farm chores has drawn plenty of criticism from rural-district members of Congress. But now it’s attracting barbs from farm kids themselves.
The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from
Last week, the CDC announced that teen pregnancy rates are the lowest … ever. At least for the seven decades they have been measuring. The fall has erased the surge we had in the late 80′s/early 90′s and the rates are now lower than any time since the 40′s. The rate of teen abortion is way down as well.
The CDC attributes this to increased use of contraception. This, of course, has provoked the usual … Read more
A couple of weeks ago, Paul Ryan released his budget plan. The Democrats are going nuts denouncing the plan, culminating last week with the President calling it “Social Darwinism”.
My response to this accusation is, to an extent, “if only”. Ryan’s proposal would still spend enormous amounts of money and make very little dent in Medicare and Social Security spending. It relies on ridiculously optimistic assumptions about Congress’ spending habits and the economy and leaves … Read more
