Is Thurmont Ready for the Occupiers?

When the decision was announced in March that the G-8 summit would be moved from Chicago to Camp David, the “Occupy” movement claimed it as a victory, saying that their planned protests had frightened away the summit organizers. Yesterday, I noted that the Occupiers have announced plans to descend in force on tiny Thurmont, Maryland, the […]

Is Democrat Operative Neal Rauhauser an ‘Associate’ of Convicted Terrorist Brett Kimberlin? (And Why It Matters)

Former Patterico co-blogger Aaron Worthing details the efforts of convicted “Speedway Bomber” Brett Kimberlin to shut down conservative bloggers through a strategy of legal intimidation. Why am I not surprised that the notorious Democratic Party operative Neal Rauhauser’s name turns up in Worthing’s account? As I have shown before, Kimberlin has at least two people […]

Counter-Factual Assertions

Dylan Byers of Politico promotes (or at least calls for a discussion of) the Left’s latest propaganda campaign: The assertion that the polarization of American politics is entirely the fault of extremists who allegedly have pulled the Republican Party rightward. This is both (a) untrue, and (b) a transparent effort by the Left to scapegoat its […]

The Myth of Gay-Rights ‘Tolerance’

Any conservative who has ever tried to have a rational discussion about what progressives call “marriage equality” understands the problem: The very fact of your opposition to this radical policy becomes the basis for attacks on your motives and character. Never mind that you are defending 5,000 years of civilization, while your antagonist is a deranged fanatic […]

Is ‘Morally Repugnant Political Whores’ an Acceptable Synonym for ‘Democrats’?

Apparently, Mike Huckabee doesn’t think so, because he’s asking Citizens United to pull a fundraising letter he “wrote” that used that phrase to describe Obama’s advisers. Our First Gay President Who Ate a Dog is the target of a $25 million TV advertising campaign by a conservative super-PAC: Isn’t it weird how that ad completely […]

Fear and Loathing in Thurmont: G-8 Summit Will Be 15 Miles From My House

Oh, I wouldn’t miss this for all the Euros in Athens! Thurmont ready for G-8 Summit, not worried about protests THURMONT, Md. – Eight leaders of the world’s largest economies will converge on Camp David this weekend for the 38th annual G-8 Summit, which will likely bring protesters from Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Caught in […]

Bank Run in Greece = DJIA Rises?

Back in 2009, I started saying that U.S. economic policy was so far into uncharted waters that we’d reached that part of the medieval map where it says, “Here Be Dragons.” There was no precedent for what the Fed and the Treasury were doing, and any attempt to predict what came next was pure speculation because […]

Is @MaggiePolitico the Favorite Girl in David Axelrod’s Stenography Pool?

Drew M. at AOSHQ catches Team Obama’s Pet pushing Democrat oppo research against a dude who appears in a new Romney campaign ad. Here’s the ad, and the dude Hagerman blows up is Jason “Jay” Clausen, who got laid off from his job in Iowa: Permit me to say, from long experience, that political reporters get tips […]
