Explosive: Obama’s Mentor Derrick Bell on ‘Jewish Neoconservative Racists’

John Podhoretz at Commentary on the controversy unleashed by the Breitbart.com video: Michael Powell of the New York Times reflected conventional opinion in liberal media circles when he tweeted: “Derrick Bell, Radical? We’re to pretend our history cleansed? He fought 4 Civil Rights in Mississippi.” It is incumbent on Powell and others, if they want […]

The Left’s Anti-Reproductive Bigotry

by Smitty Pundette links to Lisa Miller in the WaPoo making a typical post-Modern, anti-conservative play: There’s nothing wrong with big families, of course. But the smug fecundity of the Republican field this primary season has me worried. Thou bimbo: if there is nothing wrong, why the worry? Because you’re making a cheap anxiety play, […]

Gaily Subverting The Will Of Maryland Voters Like Stacy McCain

by Smitty Joel Pollak at Big Government details the long-term strategy for the Ruling Class to subvert the will of Maryland voters: Last September, in a speech to same-sex marriage activists in Chevy Chase, Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler revealed a plan by Democrat governor Martin O’Malley to stack the state’s highest court with judges […]

‘A Poor Impression Of The Insular, Cliquish Culture Of Their Discipline’

My Take On The Birth Control And Prop. 8 Decisions

by Smitty I think that the war on Catholics and the war on marriage arrive at a good time. There seems to be a great deal of bellyaching about GOP candidates “they all suck–get over it” and a general lack of vigor amongst conservatives. We’re burned out on fluffy debates and negative ads.

So, After The Left Has Politicized Everything, They Have The Sack To Whine About Those Seeing Political Overtones In Eastwood’s Superbowl Ad

by Smitty Colmes, emphasis mine: Leonard Hirshan explains: “That’s the problem; everything is political now,” says Hirshan, who tells us that he didn’t see the “Halftime” spot until it aired last night, and insisted that Eastwood agreed to make the spot without even consulting his representative of 50 years because it was “something personal he […]

Mead’s Rose Colored Glasses: Still Fetching

by Smitty Part two of Mead’s geosynchronous review of the Progressive cratering is up.
