Amanda Marcotte Don’t Know Much About History….UPDATED with More Gob-Smackedness
Twitter is not for the slow of wit, nor for the rushed to judgement… It was desegregation that caused white America to believe that the government had stopped “protecting” them, and so they needed guns. The mind scarcely has the courage to boggle. Presumably white Americans slaughtered the Indians with racially-insensitive discourse. And that business… Read More Amanda Marcotte Don’t Know Much About History….UPDATED with More Gob-Smackedness
George Lucas Takes His Ball and Goes Home…
…thus subjecting his Marin County neighbors to the kind of treatment that Star Wars fans have become accustomed to: Uber-liberal* George Lucas, thwarted in his plans to build a film studio on his 6,0000 acre ranch in Marin County, announces that he’s selling the whole place to a developer of low-income housing. His liberal neighbors… Read More George Lucas Takes His Ball and Goes Home…
I Get Into Arguments About the Civil War and Gun Control.
Daley Gator and I have a long exchange in the comments of his blog about the origins of the Civil War. A friendly Progressive and I discuss gun control in the wake of the Aurora Shooting. And the circle of life rolls on.
Charles Cooke Quotes an Old Philosopher on the Wisdom of Gun Control
At NRO’s Corner: The laws of this nature are those which forbid to wear arms, disarming those only who are not disposed to commit the crime which the laws mean to prevent. Can it be supposed, that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity, and the most important of… Read More Charles Cooke Quotes an Old Philosopher on the Wisdom of Gun Control
Progressive Logic
In the comments of Althouse puncturing the pomposity of EJ Dionne: 1. Something must be done. 2. This is something. 3. Therefore it must be done. Of course, what this leaves out is: 4. If you disagree with 3, you must disagree with 1. Racist.
Gunman Goes Nuts. Progressives Blame Guns. Nothing Changes.
The reaction of the progressive types to shootings have a quality of ritual to them. It’s rather like starting a witch hunt after a bad harvest or a cholera epidemic. A handful of bogeys are always invoked: We blame the Right. The killer may have been some Tea Party type. Because, you know, they’re so… Read More Gunman Goes Nuts. Progressives Blame Guns. Nothing Changes.
All the Things You Need a Photo ID to Do
Protein Wisdom has a pretty substantial list. A few standouts: Use Medicare health for insurance Join the military Apply for food stamps Receive welfare Enter a bar So the Proggies and the Obama Administration would have us belief that poor people and minorities never use Medicare, food stamps, or welfare, and never join the military… Read More All the Things You Need a Photo ID to Do
Romney Concludes That People Dislike The Government More than Bain Capital…
Stacy McCain offers up the new attack ad. You can demagoge about corporate fatcats until Demosthenes himself says “Dude, we get it,” and people play right along. But when you ask the question: “So what’s the government going to do that’s any better?” You won’t get an answer that makes any sense. We have an… Read More Romney Concludes That People Dislike The Government More than Bain Capital…
Obama’s DOJ Harder on Pot Dispensaries Than Bush’s was…
Mission Creep. Our president is rather fond of making law enforcement decisions on a piecemeal basis— see Dream kids and DOMA— so why not make this one of the ones he declines to enforce? He could pretty easily make a federalism argument for not going guns-blazing into dispensaries obeying state law, and in fact, that… Read More Obama’s DOJ Harder on Pot Dispensaries Than Bush’s was…
