Ron Paul Still A Few Foreign Policy Briefs Behind, But Tempering His Rhetoric

by Smitty Via Political Class Dismissed, we have Ron Paul on Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer, born under FDR and who has been with CBS since, shag me, I was born. Schieffer sounds his age, and tries to go after Paul on the usual foreign policy topics. Interestingly, Paul tempers his opinions on questions […]

Palate Cleanser: A Marriage Proposal

by Smitty via Jazz Shaw and Off Color Funny Videos, although this is completely safe for work: Mine was a poem recital at the Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon. Proposal videos are a refreshing break from the standard idiocy of the news.

by Smitty Via Hot Air, we have Kathleen Parker going down a list of Paul Begala arguments regurgitated from Newsweek. She very vaguely seems to be trying to dispute Begala’s title “The Stupid Party” as a moniker for the GOP, but comes across more as: “Don’t. Stop. Don’t stop.” Yet another faux-conservative writer whose desire […]

Indoctrination: What the Occupiers Believe and Why They Believe It

NYPD arrest Occupy Wall Street protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge, Oct. 1 “In the hands of a skillful indoctrinator, the average student not only thinks what the indoctrinator wants him to think . . . but is altogether positive that he has arrived at his position by independent intellectual exertion. This man is outraged by the […]
