Just because I’m cynical about the remaining forlorn hope for a Not-Mitt doesn’t mean I’m any more pleased about it than say, the gang at Protein Wisdom. Let’s consider some other possibilities. Either of the Ricks (Perry or Santorum) Might Win South Carolina. New Hampshire has an open primary. That means Democrats and Independents voted.… Read More In Which I Argue Against Every Point I Just Made About the Election
Apparently “Santorum” is Catholic for “Huckabee.” Personally, I don’t expect much to change in South Carolina. Last time ’round, South Carolina was supposed to be the last bastion against John McCain. South Carolina makes a good last bastion. More to the point, Gingrich has once more demonstrated his tactical incompetence. Who the hell told him… Read More The Bearable Tedium of Mitt Romney
Like communism, it worked better in theory than in practice, and like communism, only the sad Old Guard wants it anymore. Bloomberg (h/t Instapundit): Closing gaps in the background-check system would likely have only a modest effect on crime rates. But for gun control advocates struggling to stay relevant, the push for such changes represents… Read More Gun Control is Dead
Camp of the Saints has the goods. We should keep in mind that Christianity has always been a challenge to those views and values that human society normalizes.

As human societies exist to simplify human relationships, sometimes murder becomes a convenience.… Read More Mark Steyn: Rick Santorum is Creepy; Dr. Gosnell is Not Creepy
The N00b I alluded to earlier has gotten really classy. Really classy.
Newt Gingrich stands out amid the current GOP field in one particular way: he has a talent for arguing the premises of the question, and rejecting those too long accepted. His rise from the pit to brief front-runnership was aided by little else. Which is why I found this exchange so irritating: Gingrich needs to… Read More How Newt Shot Himself In the Foot on the Chickenhawk Question…
Our intrepid reporter takes another journey through the concentric circles of feminism. The old boy must be feeling his oats. No feminist can ever concede that any critic could have a valid argument. Thus the starting point of the debate is that there can be no debate: The anti-feminist critic is simply presumed wrong, and… Read More Stacy McCain on Freedom and Equality
They don’t call it the Stupid Party for nothing. I have never understood why any GOP legislator would lift a finger to help the MPAA or the RIAA do anything. It’s like handing your enemies ammunition just because everyone has a right to it. What is wrong with these idiots? Why on earth would they authorize… Read More SOPA: A Bill So Bad, GOP Congressmen Have to Co-Sponsor it
…for not being liberal enough. This is why I didn’t get so excited as others on the starboard side over Taylor Marsh’s denunciation of Obama. She was upset with him over being insufficiently supportive of abortion rights. And for all the dramatic thrust of the closing statement, Marsh isn’t going to actually vote for the GOP… Read More The Liberals are Abandoning Obama…
