Hawkins: 15 Lies Of Liberalism

Posted on | January 27, 2013 | 4 Comments

by Smitty

A great article by John Hawkins:

9) …liberals want unity and bipartisanship, which they apparently believe they can accomplish by spewing pure hatred and smearing, demonizing, threatening, and lying about anyone who disagrees with them.

10) …it’s going to deliver equality of outcomes for everyone, which is true, if by “delivering equality of outcomes” you mean “make everyone poorer.”

11) …it cares about women — unless they’re conservative women, in which case liberals will insult them in the vilest of terms, attack their children, call them whores and laugh and hoot at the most grotesque sexist attacks against them. Every last insult ever hurled at someone like Sandra Fluke probably wouldn’t amount to what women like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Michelle Malkin, and Ann Coulter put up with on any given week with the full support of the same liberals who run off at the mouth about a “war on women.”

I had sent Hawkins a Tweet linking Al Gore’s wonderful, (emphasis mine):

Their most consistent theme is to label as “socialist” any proposal to reform exploitive behavior in the marketplace.

From the standpoint of governance, what is at stake is our ability to use the rule of law as an instrument of human redemption. After all has been said and so little done, the truth about the climate crisis — inconvenient as ever — must still be faced.

That still remains the absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever seen from a public figure.

What If Beck’s Experiment. . .Works?

Posted on | January 26, 2013 | 30 Comments

by Smitty

His proposed $2-billion city would be based on a free-market, limited government model. No location has been pegged down, but Mr. Beck has visited “three possible sites in three different states” and has spoken to two governors, said Mr. Beck’s TheBlaze TV website.
The self-sustaining city would include a ranch for food production, a media centre, a multi-denominational mission centre, a theme park, a research and development centre, a library, parks and baseball diamonds. It would have a communal marketplace that would serve as a public space for conducting small business and sharing ideas. Americans could either live in the city’s residential area or just come to visit.

If Rand’s book is any guide, the public sector will hate this, and every aspect of the Imperial Fed will turn on this and destroy it. Starting with the EPA, and running the gamut. Both as a personal kneecapping of Beck, and as an example for anyone else with the means to explore liberty.

One hopes to be proven in error there.

Sarah Palin Interview At Breitbart.Com

Posted on | January 26, 2013 | 65 Comments

Mark Levin reports

1. What’s next for you?
Short term: I encourage others to step out in faith, jump out of the comfort zone, and broaden our reach as believers in American exceptionalism. That means broadening our audience. I’m taking my own advice here as I free up opportunities to share more broadly the message of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic and restoring this most exceptional nation. We can’t just preach to the choir; the message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a larger audience.
Focus on the 2014 election is also imperative.

The lady is among the more charismatic figures of our day. What one hopes to see is serious direction and substantial reform, i.e. that which the GOP is not delivering.

I don’t doubt the lady can do it. The question is the degree to which the GOP elite is willing to go ‘scorched earth’ rather than permit her to succeed. After all, it’s not “her turn”.

Read the whole thing.

Update: color Mataconis unimpressed:

#NRISummit: Scarborough 2016?

Posted on | January 26, 2013 | 36 Comments

Joe Scarborough exits the National Review Institute Summit

Strange to say, on the “What’s Wrong With the Right?” panel this morning — which included Reihan Salam, Bill Kristol, Yuval Levin, John Podhoretz and Ross Douthat — the most stubbornly outspoken opponent of “big government Republicans” was MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.

Scarborough said that George W. Bush’s big-government measures “completely muddied the brand” of the Republican Party, and he was applauded by many of the 700 people attending the National Review Institute Summit at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Was this the start of a 2016 presidential campaign for the former Florida congressman who has become the token Republican host on liberal-leaning MSNBC? Last fall, Scarborough dismissed reports that he was considering such a campaign, saying he has “the best job in the world” and “no desire to leave.” But one veteran political  observer noted the contrast between Scarborough’s engagement with the audience and the more aloof intellectuals on the panel: “That’s the politician in him.”

The Oxford Union

Founded in 1823, the Union has hosted world leaders in virtually every field. These have included Presidents Nixon, Carter and Reagan, Michael Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Diego Maradona, the Dalai Lama, Benazir Bhutto and Mother Teresa. More recently we have been honoured by visits from speakers as varied as Shakira, Tony Benn, Martin Sheen, David Cameron, Sir Ian McKellen, General Petraeus, and Johnny Depp.

Genius on display:

One is stunned to think that, in stark contrast, some people find a certain teleprompted lightweight is a great thinker and speaker.

This video should go viral.

Debating Gay Marriage With Cynthia Yockey On Da Tech Guy’s Radio Show

Posted on | January 25, 2013 | 13 Comments

by Smitty

I’ve been invited to debate my dear friend Cynthia Yockey of A Conservative Lesbian on Da Tech Guy’s show tomorrow afternoon, on 26 January 2013, from 2-3 PM EST, if the technical gremlins are smiling.

My arguments will consist of pure, heated denunciation, in the style of that 18th century fire breather Jonathan Edwards using that immortal chestnut Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God as an outline. Why make the rubble bounce, when you can pulverize it into a brimstone-scented incense? I ask you.

Of course I’ll be doing none of that. Cynthia and Pete Da Tech Guy have been friends for years, and this is an opportunity both to showcase his new, syndicated format, to encourage Cynthia on a project that I understand is in progress, and to exchange ideas where we vary substantially in the kind of rational way you used to think possible with the Left. One does not intend to offer religious arguments, at least as a going in position.

DaTechGuy syndicated run begins at a temporary time on the Money Matters Radio network from 1-3 PM EST bringing you Matt O’Brien talking about a new initiative to stop Obamacare in its tracks in our the first hour and in our second hour the great debate. Chris Smitty Smith of The Other McCain on one side and Cynthia Yockey from A Conservative Lesbian on the other with the topic, Gay Marriage!

The call in number is 888-205-2263 the live stream for the Money Matters Network is here and or you can listen live via TuneIn.

Woo hoo!

What Difference Does Sarah Palin Make?

Posted on | January 25, 2013 | 14 Comments

by Smitty

“It’s my understanding that Gov. Palin was offered a contract by FOX, and she decided not to renew the arrangement,” the source close to Palin told RCP. “She remains focused on broadening her message of common-sense conservatism across the country and will be expanding her voice in the national discussion.”
The source declined to say whether Palin would pursue a television contract with another news network, such as CNN.

Found curled up weeping in a corner with his thumb in his mouth, Anderson Cooper could only sob “Nooooo” at the thought. Over at MSNBC, Piers Morgan was channeling Vincent again:

Vincent: Oh no. The problem. The problem, Pansy! It’s started again!
Pansy: Oh! Oh, don’t worry, darling!
Vincent: Ohhh… ohhh…
Pansy: I say!
Vincent: I must have fruit!

What will Sarah do? I’m really not bothered in any case, so long as the Lefty heads keep ‘sploding.
