Thought Criminal Mychal Massie Calls Out ‘Present’ Obama

by Smitty Here is a rant that deserves wide dissemination: Leaders understand their job is to lead, and to instill in their team, if you will, the desire to follow. Not by constraint or out of fear but out of a knowingness by the players that if they follow they will be better individually and […]

Wrong Headline, Professor

Glenn Greenwald spent the Bush years in a constant state of hysteria about war and infringements of civil liberties. It’s hard to think of a commentator who more typifies the anti-war Left of that era. It is therefore a shock to see Greenwald now grumbling this way: I wonder: does someone who goes from being […]

Dishonest Bill Schmalfeldt Got Banned from Daily Kos for Anal Rape ‘Satire’

Bill Schmalfeldt of Elk Ridge, Maryland, a.k.a. “Liberal Grouch” It’s noon, boys and girls, which means that deranged cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt is now podcasting his fathomless rage against Lee Stranahan and other eeeee-vil people who, just coincidentally, happen to be on Brett Kimberlin’s enemies list. Schmalfeldt’s compulsive lying has been previously examined here, but on […]

That Feeling When The Goal Is Known, But The Means Remain Ambiguous

by Smitty The question of exactly how to re-engage the culture is a serious one, especially when approached from a Christian viewpoint.

‘The Kook Who Knew Too Much’: Heroic Fantasy, Paranoia and Barrett Brown

Sept. 12: Barrett Brown rants on YouTube about his plan to ‘destroy’ an FBI agent Ever since former “Anonymous” spokesman Barrett Brown freaked out on video and got himself arrested, various kooks have floated conspiracy theories to explain Brown’s arrest in terms of the paranoid delusion that Brown was an “enemy of the state” who got too close to the hidden […]

‘Beware the Ides of March’: Bill Schmalfeldt Threatens Lee Stranahan?

Connecting the Dots, Telling the Story

“[Neal] Rauhauser consistently promoted the hoax-hack theory of the WeinerGate scandal, continuing to argue that [Rep. Anthony] Weiner had been the victim of some devious hacker, even after Weiner admitted his guilt and resigned from office. Rauhauser also repeatedly linked [Brett] Kimberlin’s ‘Indict Breitbart’ site and, along the way, made several interesting statements.” — Robert […]
