The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

John Cornyn and the Eunuch Anacephalic ‘Leadership’ of the Republican Party

Drew M. at Ace of Spades says John Cornyn is “starting to go wobbly,” which involves the wholly unwarranted assumption that Cornyn was ever steady to begin with. It was Cornyn who, by giving the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s endorsement to Charlie Crist — 15 months before the Florida GOP primary — sparked the Not […]

Day By Day And The Righteous Allusion

by Smitty Day By Day makes a great historical allusion that merits mention. As a part of the Battle of the Bulge, the Siege of Bastogne had the fascists pinning down the 101st Airborne for a week. “When confronted with a written request from German General Luttwitz for surrender of Bastogne, [Brigadier General McAuliffe] replied […]

So Much for That ‘Rising Risk’

Eugene Robinson’s fear — or should I say, hope? — of a “serious threat of domestic terrorism . . . from the far right” turns out to be far-fetched: There’s a lot of anger out there. But the alleged plot by Midwestern militants and violent outbursts by scattered individuals don’t signal any coming wave of […]

A Thought About The Bill Of Rights

by Smitty The First and Second Amendments were exactly that: not components of the original draft Constitution. Does anyone seriously think that, without those bedrock protections, that this country would have met its Progressive demise much sooner, and that the Tea Parties would be as beat down as Iran’s Green Revolution? I usually don’t enjoy […]

Important Video: InstaVision With Randy Barnett

by Smitty Avail yourself of this breath of mental fresh air. Two serious legal heads not talking over our heads. Rather, a layman’s look at the situation from two gentlemen who really Get It. Included segments, with my informal comments, are: The Constitutionality of ObamaCare: Commerce clause, not so much. As a tax, still reaching. […]

Humor Break: ‘See You In November’

by Smitty Via HillBuzz, this is quite well done and suitable for all venues: In the not-safe-for-work category, and with only cartoon malice towards anyone, Beatallica merges “Got To Get You Into My Life” and “Trapped Under Ice“: The Hetfield parody across Beatallica’s material is among the finer skewerings ever achieved.

Maloney Aids The Cause

by Smitty (via Ace) E. C. Maloney strikes again. Personally, I hope that nobody is killed while saving the country from the fascist takeover. I would that every leader pass old, and full of years, and that these lousy Progressives become fully aware of how false their ideas are. I met Maloney at CPAC a […]

Of What Might The Current Political Situation Seem Reminiscent?

by Smitty Just a few links, ending in a question for general consumption: Atrocious legislation like the healthcare takeover has now become a multi-stage affair. The notion of amnesty for illegal aliens as a ballot-box stuffer remains a distinct threat. The Judas Congress has taken to going after big business for honestly reporting the costs […]
