I … See … Crazy People
One of the amazing things about the whole debt-ceiling episode is how it has caused liberals to say stuff even crazier than the crazy stuff they usually say. Michael Lind at Salon: The debt ceiling crisis is the latest case in which the radical right in the South has held America hostage until its demands […]
A. Single Moms
Q. Who could possibly think it’s harmless to provide pole-dancing classes for 7-year-olds? In her brilliant book Guilty, Ann Coulter called attention to how single mothers are celebrated by liberals as emblems of a form of saintly victimhood. (Somehow, Bristol Palin is exempted from this sense of sacredness, which goes to show how liberal “principles” become disposable when […]
Feminists: Dishonest, Crazy or Both?
We don’t expect honesty or sanity from Amanda Marcotte: Bolder Anti-Sex Arguments Coming From Religious Right You can be anti-promiscuity without being “anti-sex,” and Marcotte’s casual conflation of the two phenomena tells you much more about feminism’s agenda than it does about what the “Religious Right” is up to.

But then I saw the video in which the atheist chick at the epicenter of this controversy made […]
Feminism, Victimhood, Therapy
“To me the piece was a stunning example of journalistic malpractice, the kind that reinforces the public perception that deep down journalists think every story or major news event is somehow really all about them. “McClelland, who covered Haiti for Mother Jones, has provided us with yet another clichéd, egocentric article about documenting unimaginably terrible […]
