Why Liberals Hate You

Rare is the day when I have cause to express gratitude to Matt Yglesias, but his expression of the statist view could not be clearer:   The concept of “redistribution” falsely implies that the existence of property is prior to the existence of the state. #mythofownership — Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) September 18, 2012   Could […]

This Might Be What You’d Call ‘Relevant’

Remember how Liz McMillen threw Naomi Schaefer Riley to the wolves over accusations of racism? Headline at American Power: Naomi Schaefer Riley Is Married to the Wall Street Journal‘s Jason Riley, Who is Black Routine conversation at the Riley household, as imagined by typical readers of the Chronicle of Higher Education: Naomi: Honey, will you […]

Commissars Sacrifice Naomi Schaefer Riley to the ‘New Gods of Diversity’

You might think that being a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard, an accomplished journalist and published author, would be the kind of impeccable credentials that would offer some protection against the occasional eruptions of intellectual cannibalism on campus. Alas, no. Naomi Schaefer Riley is a former Wall Street Journal editor, the author of God […]

Boreal Supremacy: Bruce Bartlett’s Tendentious History of Partisanship

Years ago, when I was living in Georgia, I coined the term boreal supremacy to describe the attitude of certain people that all things Northern were superior to all things Southern.

Will The SEALs Do For BHO What Goldberg Is Doing For Progressives?

by Smitty Bagram sucks, I can affirm, having languished there for a couple of months. If #OccupyResoluteDesk wants to #OccupyBagram, more power to him. How cheap is his one-year-on, please-can-we-not-talk-economy victory lap going to look in the face of blowback from the SEALs, though? The bulk of the people paying attention this year kinda know […]

OMG! ‘Peace Studies’ Dude Blames Jews, Recommends Reading ‘Protocols’?

E.J. Dionne, Political Psychic

Everybody knows that E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post is a liberal Democrat — both a partisan and an ideologue — a “social justice” Catholic from Massachusetts whose political beau ideal is Ted Kennedy. (Ah, “compassionate liberalism“! Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.) Only a person of such impeccably ironclad progressive credentials […]

If By ‘Wake Up’ VDH Means ‘Think Rationally’, Then He’ll Be Waiting Forever

by Smitty When those in the liberal community wake up to how they are being used (and thereby embarrassed) to facilitate a pathological sort who really does seem to dislike women, then Maher will go the way of Keith Olbermann and be left ranting to the wind. I’m confident that Maher’s kept afloat by the […]
