Does anyone on the left understand right and wrong? Do any of them understand that some things humans do are morally reprehensible or is everything relative? If we could find one that understands it, it certainly won’t be Colman McCarthy.
Sometimes the Washington Post prints a piece that you know warmed the cockles of of its editor’s cold hearts. They have to pretend to be impartial (I know, quit laughing), but they take themselves quite seriously. So they bring in
I know it’s MSNBC and everything, but I still had difficulty believing I actually witnessed this clip on Breitbart TV of a silly little man saying the Constitution is irrelevant and confusing because it’s, like, more than 100 years old.
It seems that Washington Post Staff Writer and MSNBC’s contributor Ezra Klein believes that the Constitution has no binding power 223 years after it was written and with the document being more than 100 years old thus is confusing. Klein
Washington Post blogger and left-wing Journo-List founder Ezra Klein made a curious admission on MSNBC today: Such an old document is impossible to understand? Forgetting the obvious slams that could be made at young Mr. Klein with regard to his
Our 111th congress, in its lame duck session, has given America a Christmas present in the way of repeal of the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” law. Signing the repeal into law, President Obama said he’s “never been prouder.” From my
To the Editor: Yesterday’s feature, “Monitoring America,” by Dana Priest and William Arkin, intentionally distorts the role of outside experts training local law enforcement in matters related to terrorism. In an effort to smear the Center for Security Policy, Arkin
MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann recently did a hit piece called “Not Working on the Railroad” on 2 Republican Governor Elects in Ohio and Wisconsin canceling high speed rail projects in their respective states. Oblermann rants about high speed rail Olbermann seemed
On the heels of “Monitoring America,” a tiresome and finger-wagging piece about local American law enforcement’s efforts to combat terrorism in yesterday’s Washington Post by William Arkin and Dana Preist (something I’ll respond to later and at length here at
Obscured by the daily scramble of news stories about WikiLeaks, its pompous and self-aggrandizing spokesperson, Julian Assange, and the classified information that was revealed, is a phenomenon which profoundly affects the way each of us as individuals conduct our daily
Stooping to a new low, even by Southern Poverty Law Center’s standards, the SPLC recently smeared well-regarded family-values organizations as ‘hate groups’ for championing faith-based moral views, including opposition to gay marriage and support for the military’s DADT policy. The
As reported by the Washington Post, these were Richard Holbrooks’s last words, As Mr. Holbrooke was sedated for surgery, family members said, his final words were to his Pakistani surgeon: “You’ve got to stop this war in Afghanistan.” More than
On a historic night this past Thursday, a new Tea Party Republican Congress completely transformed U.S. economic policy. Elections matter, and so do their ideas. Smaller government, low taxes, and less spending were key election themes in the Republican landslide.
There’s a lot of attention being paid to yesterday’s landslide vote in the House to prevent a big tax increase next year. If you’re a glass-half-full optimist, you will be celebrating the good news for taxpayers. If you’re a glass-half
In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don’t know where the money has gone.
The battle over health care took a turn for the better Monday as Federal Judge Henry Hudson struck down certain provisions of the bill as unconstitutional. Unfortunately, things could take a turn for the worse for breast cancer patients by
Now that the so-called centrist movement – No Labels – has launched, I’ve noticed a change in the air. People are nicer. The polarization that would mar conversation seems to have dissipated like a bad dream, replaced by a joyful
From Judge Henry Hudson, an early Christmas gift to America [pdf of decision]: Despite the laudable intentions of Congress in enacting a comprehensive and transformative health care regime, the legislative process must still act withing constitutional bounds. Salutatory goals and
