When I was in middle school, they used to take us down to the multi-purpose room and make us watch plodding videos about nutrition (vegetables good, sugar bad), and then preach to us about the kinds of things we should be eating. I remember one day when the teachers asked whether we should be drinking… Read More When the Fascists Come, They Come for the Children First.
…Hobo Hunting Licenses hardest hit. Basically, its the 2010 Delaware Senate election all over again, wherein Ace inveighed for Rockefeller-ite Mike Castle rather than crypto-wiccan and professional campaigner Christine O’Donnell. The comment threads during that period brimmed with sightings of RINO horns and proclamations of doom. Except this time, he’s capitulated to the Stormin’ Mormon,… Read More Ace of Spades to Become Insufferable Until the Convention…
And worse, when pressed to discuss the Catholic position on birth control and sexuality, he doesn’t hide in the bushes, but stands for his positions like a man. Naturally this makes him unacceptable as a Presidential candidate. The comments explode with the imaginary fear that Santorum is going to outlaw birth control (he isn’t, and… Read More Ace of Spades Discovers that Rick Santorum is Catholic
Today I wish to dispassionaly discuss Sheila Jackson-Lee. Sheila Jackson-Lee makes my soul despair for the nature of man. Sheila Jackson-Lee makes an argument for authoritarianism every time she opens her mouth. If Joseph de Maistre were to concoct a fictional character to demonstrate to the known universe the folly of democracy, he would have… Read More Why is This Person in Congress? Why?
In 1867, Andrew Johnson fired his Secretary of War, in defiance of the Tenure of Office Act, which barred a President from removing Cabinet Officials without Senatorial approval. The House impeached him, and the Senate came one vote shy of removing him from office. In 2012, Barack Obama waives a federal statute without being granted… Read More Obama Does Not Appear to Think His Authority Has Limits
That’s not fair. What it really says is “The First Lady Targets Obesity in the Military” (h/t: Memeorandum). And the URL reads: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/02/09/michelle-obama-takes-aim-at-chubby-service-members/ Remember when such language was considered uncivil, contributing to an atmosphere of hate? Anyway, the First Lady argues that overweight soldiers are a national security problem. This has the virtue of being true.… Read More The First Lady Really Hates on Fatties, eh?
Not merely with regard to radical Islam: (h/t: Instapundit) We flatter ourselves into believing that we are more liberated than our stuffy ancestors. A sobering corrective to modern self-satisfaction is to realise that an ex-Muslim novelist would never now dare do what Salman Rushdie did with The Satanic Verses and write a book that said the life… Read More The Cowardice of the Intellectuals
Which is to say, it is ruled by an ideological oligarchy that passes decrees which every other person must obey. The legislature and governor are vestigial organizations possessing mostly ceremonial duties. As chief justice for nine years, Vanderbilt helped forge the New Jersey Supreme Court’s expansive understanding of its role. For instance, he wrote the… Read More New Jersey is a Soviet Republic.
I am a bigot. I am a stupid, antediluvian redneck, bitterly clinging to my guns and god, insufficiently educated to note the distinction between my posterior sphincter and divot in the earth. How do I know this? Because I do not support gay marriage. If this reasoning satisfies you, by all means, stop reading here.… Read More Confessions of a Bigot
