The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Robert Reich: Tea Party Strawman Flaming, Not The Greenwich Village Way

by Smitty The right is currently in a struggle to determine whether it will nominate a Ruling Class Overlord who says sufficiently conservative sounding things to take the nomination, the veers to the center to win the election. Alternatively, somebody with both high moral and conservative track records, e.g. Perry, Santorum or Bachmann, could be […]

Because I’m Feeling Kinda Bad About Giving Ace of Spades Such a Hard Time …

. . . I guess it’s time to “pay tribute” by stealing more of his blog content. Like this psychological profile of Occupiers: [M]any of the rank-and-file occupiers feel isolated in their lives, and appear to lack basic community ties such as are provided by participation in clubs, churches, and strong families…. They thus attach […]

Faced With Maxed-Out Race Card, Can Eric Holder Get A Rep. Allen West Bailout? Why, No; No, He Cannot!

by Smitty The blogs have been on about Eric “The Bolder” Holder’s NYT interview, where he few a Hail Jerry* and said that: “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, […]

For Some Strange Reason, I Was Reminded of Lawrence v. Texas

Or more precisely, a certain dissenting opinion: “The Texas statute undeniably seeks to further the belief of its citizens that certain forms of sexual behavior are ‘immoral and unacceptable’ . . . the same interest furthered by criminal laws against fornication, bigamy, adultery, adult incest, bestiality, and obscenity. Bowers held that this was a legitimate […]

“Newt Gingrich’s lead in the race for the GOP presidential nomination has evaporated, according to a new national survey.” — Paul Steinhauser, CNN “The model gives [Ron Paul] a 44 percent chance of winning Iowa based on the current standing of the candidates and the historic uncertainty of polling-based forecasts. Mr. Romney has a 32 […]

Shorter Ace: ‘Bitches Lie’

A grossly unfair oversimplification of Ace’s argument? Sure. But in a multi-candidate Republican primary campaign where everybody’s cutting each other to ribbons, who can complain — if anyone even notices — when I gratuitously play the sexism card? And isn’t Ace calling the lady a liar? Michele Bachmann lives in a strange world. People talk about “moral relativism.” […]

Sean Hannity Flummoxed By Michelle Malkin

by Smitty At American Power: South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley Endorses Mitt Romney Well, what’s amazing is Nikki Haley is touted as a “tea party favorite.” But Michelle Malkin calls Romney a progressive at the video. She calls Gingrich a progressive as well. It’s an excellent discussion, and badly needed. Sean Hannity’s a little flummoxed […]
