Tortured denials
First of all the term torture is used by liberals entirely too liberally. Loud music, sleep deprivation, and even waterboarding are not torture in the classic and visceral sense the word is meant to convey. But Pelosi and the democrats, in their utter dishonesty, have painted themselves into a torturous corner.
As Karl Rove explains,...

Carrie Prejean is being savagely attacked for voicing the majority opinion of Californians who have voted twice to outlaw gay marriage per se. She should be applauded and defended.

Government too big
Rasmussen reports:
60% Say Government Has Too Much Power, Too Much Money
…Not surprisingly, the Political Class sees things a lot differently. While 85% of Mainstream Americans say the government has too much power and money, just two percent (2%) of the Political Class agree. Nearly one-our-of-four members (24%) of the Political Class, in fact, believe...

Obama control

Tea-bagging Obama
Today millions of Americans are protesting out-of-control government spending and the inevitable confiscatory taxes that will follow. Main Stream Media coverage has been either non-existent or completely negative. Most of the network coverage referred to the Tea party protests as “teabagging” protests, a derogatory sexual reference. Funny? Not exactly objective journalism.
The good new is...

Right-wing extremists?
Aimed at the heart of half of the electorate:
The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,
but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first...

More of a guideline…
Our leftist one party government thinks that the constitution is merely a set of guidelines. Not some absolute rule of law. Ex post facto taxes? No problem. Change the constitution without an amendment? No problem.
Justice Department lawyers concluded in an unpublished opinion earlier this year that the historic D.C. voting rights bill pending in...

Moral Government?
We are told that businesses are inherently immoral, that they will cheat customers and employees at every opportunity. Government, on the other hand, is the chosen vehicle for correcting the wrongs of society and creating a better world. The idea that calling an organization ‘government’ somehow makes it inherently moral is dead wrong. In...

The transformative path
Free markets have failed and we must now embark on a new transformative path of change. All of our problems are due to the greed of big business, so instead we need wise experts, technocrats, and politicians to make economic decisions for the common good in order to create a fair and prosperous society.

Channeling Dems
Kim Jong Il channels Democrats like nobody’s business. But I’m not sure if which direction the spiritual flow is going. When the left talks about Bush’s torture regime and Guantanamo it sounds an awful lot like this:

Freeman Dyson climate denier
Go forth and read of it:
For more than half a century, the eminent physicist Freeman Dyson has quietly resided in Princeton, New Jersey, on the wooded former farmland that is home to his employer, the Institute for Advanced Study, the United States’ most rarefied community of scholars.

State-run media
Get ready for it. American state-run media as a ‘necessary public good’. Sure, because the buffoons who have run journalism into the ground also need to be rewarded with a stimulus program to keep their jobs and their liberal institutions afloat.
Only government can implement policies and subsidies to provide an institutional framework for quality...
