You Know How the Left Has This Bad Habit of Oversimplifying Stories?

Yeah, they claim to be all nuanced and everything, but progressives love nothing so much as to boil down complex situations into tidy “just so” morality plays. And, as pointed out here earlier this week, that’s what the Left did with a 5th Circuit of Appeals ruling in a First Amendment case, which got twisted into a […]

Sheila Jackson-Lee Is a Corrupt Democrat. But I Repeat Myself . . .

It is one of pet conceits of liberal Democrats that the long-established practice of having poll-watchers — party volunteers who are assigned to polling places to ensure that no vote fraud occurs — amounts to “voter intimidation” intended to “suppress” minority voting.

UPDATE: “Scaring white people?”

Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas): ‘Don’t Accuse Me of Not Saying the Truth!’

Remember when Democrats declared “dissent was the highest form of patriotism”? Somebody forgot to explain to Ciro that dissenting about health care statistics is also patriotic: (Via Big Government, Breitbart TV and Memeorandum.)
