Marty Peretz and the Inevitable Obsolescence of Yesterday’s Liberalism

One of the beauties of conservatism is that, if we define it as William F. Buckley Jr. did — standing athwart history, yelling “stop!” — the conservative never need to change his ideology, which is essentially a stance of opposition to whatever innovations liberals propose on their march toward the Utopia of Social Justice. The […]

Palin-Hating Columbia Professor, Huffington Post Blogger, Busted for Incest

Let’s begin with a flashback, shall we? In July 2009, when Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska, Columbia University professor David Epstein wrote at his Huffington Post blog: Palin has done what weak, self-centered people do when the going gets tough — they quit and blame someone else. Got that? Sarah Palin is “weak” […]

Did Someone Say ‘Desperation’?

Yeah, it’s Ed Driscoll talking about the attempt of liberals to make sense of their election “shellacking” through conspiracy theories. By the way, Michael Gerson’s invocation of John Stormer’s 1964 book None Dare Call It Treason is unfair to John Stormer, a patriotic American whom I interviewed in 1999 after the publication of his book […]

You Must Be Having Me On. Oh, Wait: We’re Talking About The Left

by Smitty Via Da Tech Guy, the DC Examiner reports that the Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive is really more about the latter than the former. Now, I have better things to do that waste my time on Commode-y Central’s sad little gathering of paid stooges. For an example of filming at […]

Erza Klein: Hey, This Whole Xenophobic Anti-Capitalist Attack Isn’t Working

It’s always enjoyable to watch when the light bulb go on over a liberal’s head. The idea that the Chamber of Commerce is funneling money from “secret foreign donors” to Republicans was always ludicrous. Of course, if the attack had worked, Ezra wouldn’t have minded. But sometimes voters are smarter than Democrats think they are.

How Dare You?

One of the trademark reflexes of organized liberalism is the tendency of its adherents to respond to critics in outraged tones of self-righteous indignation: “How dare you . . .?” Thus, when it was suggested during the Bush presidency that liberals seemed more concerned with defeating Republicans than defeating terrorists, the response was: How dare you question our […]

Do You Share My View That Cohen’s Ideas Are Symptomatic Of Why Progressivism Must Be Utterly Rejected?

by Smitty (h/t HotAir) I wish good health and long life to Richard Cohen. Let’s start off in a positive vein, as, turning to the risible pile of false ideas he served up in Tuesday’s WaPo, the opening sentence represents the nicest part of this post. The title refers to the survey in the right […]

‘Palling Around With Terrorists’ Update

“The University of Illinois on Thursday denied 1960s radical William Ayers emeritus faculty status after trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy noted Ayers dedicated a book to, among others, the man who killed Kennedy’s father, Robert F. Kennedy.” — Associated Press As I’ve said, today’s liberals represent the Sirhan Sirhan wing of the Democratic Party. Via Memeorandum. […]
