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 […]

That’s What I’m Talking About

by Smitty San Diego is an island of American sanity in a sea of blue state idiocy: I’m sure that you don’t get anywhere near the airspace when the POTUS himself is present, but broadcasting just how fed up the American people are with #OccupyResoluteDesk is pure chewing satisfaction. No, there isn’t any way an […]

Myra: Don’t Thug My Gov, Love

The Lid (with some minor punctuation input from me): Over and over during the course of the weekend the Occupiers were like Charlie Brown and the BlogCon bloggers were like Lucy fooling him again by pulling […]

Why The Whining About Debates?

by Smitty Ann Althouse has a post that triggers the thought: Why are we whining about debates? There is substantial butt-hurt in the blogs about how how candidates X, Y, and Z are getting short shrift (is there any other kind?) in the debates. If we are capitalists, and presidential debates are a marketplace of […]

Unexpectedly, Puffington Host Editors Face Uncertainty About The Founders

by Smitty The Puffington Host editors offer this collection of GOP Congressmen using the word ‘uncertainty’. Props to Todd Young, USNA ’95, appearing at 0:55: The Puffington Host, normally such a bastion of wisdom and erudition, is unexpectedly daft here: With the economy in a slump for nearly four years, corporate executives and conservative politicians […]

An Aside On Safe Passage For Messengers

by Smitty Twice now in recent memory, on “Zombie Allegation Against Herman Cain Hopes Gloria Allred Can Give It Brains“, and “An Opera Based Upon WikiLeaks?“, I have had commenters level the charge of “shooting the messenger”. Well, allow me to retort. In the former case, I am to view Politico as some wholly innocent […]
