Ayn Rand On The Liberal And Liberal-Lite Parties In The U.S.

by Smitty The Tea Partiers are the moderates; everyone to the Left is suicidal. NPR quotes Ayn Rand: “Both [GOP and Democrats] today are for socialism, in effect — for controls. And there is no party, there are no voices, to offer an actual pro-capitalist, laissez-faire, economic freedom and individualism,” she said. “That is what […]

ObamaCare Granted Certiorari

by Smitty SCOTUSblog reports: Setting the stage for a historic constitutional confrontation over federal power, the Supreme Court on Monday granted three separate cases on the constitutionality of the new federal health care law, and set aside 5 1/2 hours for oral argument, to be held in March. The Court, however, did not grant all of […]

‘The People Who Peddle This Stuff Deserve Neither Respect, Nor Credit for Good Intentions, Which in Fact They Lack.’

So says Professor Glenn Reynolds about those vicious feminist ax-grinders whose hatefulness is at least partly inspired by their self-interest as brokers at the redemption window where ordinary molehills of hurt feelings can be exchanged for Himalyayas of entitled victimhood: The words used in workshops — “uncomfortable,” “inappropriate,” “hostile” — are vague, subjective, slippery.

No, there isn’t any way an […]

Myra: Don’t Thug My Gov, Love

by Smitty Myra Adams seems to be leaning just a little far forward with this post: “A Romney/McDonnell 2012 Presidential Ticket Is (Practically) a Done Deal” Governor McDonnell took a well-deserved victory lap this past week after helping the Republican Party of Virginia win control of both the Virginia General Assembly and Virginia Senate. This […]

It Ain’t ‘Whining’ If the Bias Is Real

No, I’m not talking about the bias of Tabitha Hale in excluding me from the BlogCon agenda for the second consecutive year. The final word on that has not only been said, but also set to music. Rather, I’m talking about the evidence of bias by John Dickerson of CBS: In a slip of the finger […]
