Apparently, at this point, the shameful events surrounding Benghazi still matter to some extent, at least to Stephen Hayes, revealing President Obama’s lying and deceit on the matter, as well as to Bob Schieffer. For Ben Shapiro, The Benghazi scandal has truly become Watergate for the media themselves. Months too late, and only after stunning [...]
Sex is. There is nothing more to be done about it. Sex builds no roads, writes no novels, and sex certainly gives no meaning in life to anything but itself. —Gore Vidal, United States: Essays 1952-1992 (37) Sex. What’s with the persistent human propensity to study, describe, imagine, define, categorize, restrict, denounce, regulate, prohibit, criminalize [...]

Here’s further proof that Barack Obama is the worst socialist ever: http://www.epi.org/publication/economy-built-profits-not-prosperity/ “Newly released data on corporate profitability for 2012 show the continuation of historic levels of profitability despite excessive unemployment and stagnant wages for most workers. Specifically, the share of capital income (such as profits and interest, which are hereafter referred to as ‘profits’) [...]

As I was meandering into this post, mindful that President Obama had chosen to take his second term oath on a Martin Luther King Bible (as well as Lincoln’s) on Martin Luther King Day, I began by Googling “Barack+Obama+Martin+Luther+King”. The first three hits to appear were from The Washington Post: Inauguration will cement ties between [...]
Fox’s Megyn Kelly and The Daily Beast’s Kirsten Powers discuss President Obama’s usage of Susan Rice: . http://video.foxnews.com/v/1969333460001/ . Most interesting here is the gender dynamic: in the final analysis, for both women, this is not about politics – this is about how a man uses a woman. . H. M. Stuart Alexandria

It’s a travesty that the bootlickers in the mainstream media are so reliable that Democrats are completely comfortable making outrageously dishonest statements and knowing they will never be called on them. I’m not even paying attention to the news that much this weekend and I caught two whoppers. First, Obama on the J.P. Morgan prop [...]
Liberal Democrat Jon Lovitz on President Barack Obama. Interesting because one doesn’t see this every day. Not safe for work or children, so jump for it.

When I was a child, girls were expected to wear skirts or dresses, in all but the most casual situations. At home, sure, you could run around in pants. But if you went to school, you wore a dress. If you went to church, you wore a dress. If you went anywhere that you could [...]

NPR’s All Things Considered on Obama versus Ryan: http://www.npr.org/2011/04/22/135632482/navigating-the-budget-maze-without-getting-lost Some interesting revelations about the strategies of structuring political-economic proposals and the assumptions upon which they are both built and within which they become imprisoned.

MOTOR TREND Magazine is not generally considered part of The Liberal Media. Even if you stand by the anachronism of thinking that the United Auto Workers is a “left-wing union,” Motor Trend is more about the people who sell and buy cars, obsess over cars, get their arms up to their elbows in grease, and [...]

For what little it may be worth, I just sent the following message to www.whitehouse.gov: I am disturbed to read that our nation’s elected leadership is deferring to “expert” subordinates in the executive branch who assert that subjecting air travellers to two million sexual assaults per day is the best or only way to insure [...]

My father once, when my stepmother brought a new German Shepherd into the house, decided it was time to let the dog know who was boss. “I am alpha,” he told the dog, “You are omega.”

There is, as jmk has pointed out, a species of political commentator that responds to political setbacks by blaming voters for being stupid. This is sound logic for advocates of monarchy by divine right, aristocracy (inherited or natural), oligarchy, imperium, feudalism, or military dictatorship. However, it is plain silly for those attempting to ride one [...]

Jonah Goldberg is an intelligent man, who uses words well and often rests his case on a factual foundation. He’s the sort of conservative who gives me hope that America can emerge from its present malaise, with a dynamic dialog between imperfect political platforms, that might do us all some good in the end. Recently [...]

The once-spontaneous “Tea Party” movement has morphed through several phases emphasizing entirely different principles each time, but the most high-profile Tea Party political action turns out to be the manipulative work of quintessential Republican Party insiders. The data was unearthed by Janie Lorber and Eric Lipton, and published September 19. Everyone knows that the Tea [...]

I get a lot of mail from the Democratic National Committee. That is because, by my own free choice, my name is in the database of Obama for America, and, for better or for worse, in early 2009, Obama for America was turned over to the DNC as “Organizing for America.” I haven’t been a [...]

Fellow citizen Lance Christian Johnson has offered us an exposition on why he is not a conservative, in which he characterizes what he believes a conservative is, negatively. This has drawn a few responses from people who identify with the label conservative, embrace many points of principle Lance does not, and take offense at any [...]
