Policy  Conservative Position Liberal Position Economy Minimal taxation, regulation and interference from the government will supercharge the economy. Business can't be trusted to operate in the best interest of society, therefore government should maximize taxation, regulation and oversight. Guns Law abiding citizens carrying concealed weapons help preserve a civil society and dramatically reduce crime. Citizens can't be trusted to own or carry firearms.

“ His pediatrician asked six-year-old Johnny, who watched a good many TV, adds, just to make conversation. Johnny, if you found a couple of dollars and had to spend them, what would you buy?” “A box of Tampax,” he replied without hesitation. “Tampax?” said the doctor. “What would you do with that?” “Well,” said Johnny, “I do not know exactly, but it’s sure worth two dollars. With tampax, it says on TV, you can go swimming, go horseback riding, and also go skating, any time you want to.” ”

“theater of the absurd,” “ I write to draw attention to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations today. As Daniel Patrick Moynihan demonstrated once upon a time, there is something especially thrilling about the truth being told in this particular forum (a “theater of the absurd,” in Netanyahu’s reckoning). It happens rarely, but it happened today. Attention should be paid: [Powerline] ”

“ And it was here in 1980, right here, that the historic peace agreement between Israel and Egypt wasn’t praised; it was denounced! And it’s here year after year that Israel is unjustly singled out for condemnation. It’s singled out for condemnation more often than all the nations of the world combined. Twenty-one out of the 27 General Assembly resolutions condemn Israel — the one true democracy in the Middle East. Well, this is an unfortunate part of the U.N. institution. It’s the — the theater of the absurd. It doesn’t only cast Israel as the villain; it often casts real villains in leading roles: Gadhafi’s Libya chaired the U.N. Commission on Human Rights; Saddam’s Iraq headed the U.N. Committee on Disarmament. You might say: That’s the past. Well, here’s what’s happening now — right now, today. Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon now presides over the U.N. Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over the body entrusted with guaranteeing the world’s security.

SEIUrsly

Forcing non-members to pay for unions’ political advocacy

“ Early next year the Supreme Court will hear Knox v. SEIU Local 1000, an important case about union power and individual conscience. The Cato Institute has joined several other organizations in filing an amicus brief (PDF), as my colleague Ilya Shapiro explains here (snippage below) In 2005, the SEIU initiated a mid-year campaign against two California ballot measures, one that would cap state spending and another that would restrict the use of union dues for political purposes. In states such as California that do not have “right to work” laws, unions are allowed to take dues from non-union workers to finance collective-bargaining activities that, arguably, benefit all employees.  Since 1977, however, unions have not been allowed to take dues from non-union members to pay for pure political advocacy without adequate protections for possible dissenters. To distinguish political money from collective-bargaining money, the Supreme Court requires that a “Hudson notice” be given to all non-union workers. This notice gives non-members the opportunity to challenge political expenditures. But when the SEIU began garnishing 25-33% more wages to fight the California ballot initiatives, it issued no new Hudson notice, effectively forcing 28,000 non-member employees to finance its political speech. ” Obama's Private Army? Related Obama’s 2012 Campaign Strategy — Incite Civil Unrest One of our most read articles published in 2010 (EXTRA: Obama Suspends Civil Liberties ) , dealt with a hypothetical scenario where Obama inflamed civil disorder in order to institute Martial Law and in doing so, suspended the 2012 election. Obama Team to Incite Race Riots; Use White Guilt in 2012 Election Since riots and uprisings are now en vogue the world over and with signs that they will soon reach the shores of America, would it be that much of a stretch to suggest President Obama’s election campaign would be willing to incite race riots in the hopes of guilting white Americans into casting a vote for a President who is progressively losing popularity and support at an ever accelerating rate?

Find the racist

Find The Racist racist - discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion anti-semite, antiblack antiwhite discriminatory, prejudiced - being biased or having a belief or attitude formed beforehand; "a prejudiced judge"

“ Mr A may certainly be called down for using crude language, and may even be a racist, but his use of "nigger" is void of  definitive proof that he voted against Obama because of his race, or even voted against him.    Voter B, on the other hand, tells the exit poller that she voted for a candidate because of  race.  She is racist by definition. If we add Morgan Freeman into the mix, we have two racists. That's right asshat.  Your inability, or unwillingness, to entertain the possibility that it's Obama's dismal performance as president, and not his race,  that have people itching to be rid of him, makes you a guess what—?  That's right Morgan, you ignorant  black-assed racist  cork-sucker.  ”

“ Late one night a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into a path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs "give me your money," he demanded. Indignant, the affluent man replied, "you can't do this – I am a United States congressman!" "In that case," replied the mugger, "give me MY money." ”

My Take on Last Night’s Republican Debate

My Take on Last Night’s Republican Debate Here’s my take on the debate last night. Perry looked like he was struggling to remember his lines but couldn’t quite do it. Romney looked like he could remember his lines since he’s been practicing in the mirror for the past four years. Gingrich looked like he didn’t need lines. He is just going to riff anyway. Bachmann had lines, but unfortunately they were all from the movie Fargo. For some reason, Cain finished all his lines with, “That dog won’t hunt,” which is ironic because he neither has a dog nor hunts. Huntsman was struggling to hold onto his script. His hands were slippery from all the Coppertone. Gary Johnson from New Mexico had a nervous twitch and kept thinking to himself, “Dude, I’m on TV.” Santorum had a good script but he was put out that he actually had to answer questions. And Ron Paul refused all scripts because they are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Merrily

“ What’s the major difference between George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind law and the new education program that will be announced by President Obama today? It’s there in the very sentence above. The Bush law is a law. It was the result of arduous bipartisan negotiations that led to an agreement between, of all people, Bush and the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. The Obama program is a program. It is federal fiat, a decision about what’s best by your superiors in the Obama administration. It’s a unilateral move to bypass the legislative process. It may or may not be good education policy. But the Chinese Politburo also may or may not be doing good education policy.

Harry Reid's Americans

Democrats reject stop-gap spending bill—  government shutdown unavoidable? From my vantage point, if Reid doesn't budge (i.e. Republicans cave), he just bukakied himself. It'll be pretty damned hard for the Democrat media to spin "Republicans wanted spending bill, Democrats didn't" into something Obama palatable. Especially given the depth of democrat constituencies ability to understand anything more complex than "It's Free"

Sue Random House for $10 Billion - Sounds Good ....

More Dudley Breitbart

“ In an email dated January 27, 2011, Joe McGinniss, author of The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, says that Random House lawyers have told him he has provided nothing more than “tawdry gossip” to substantiate “any of the salacious stories about the Palin family.” Below, I present each of these accusations in turn, and how McGinniss used most of them in The Rogue, even though he admitted in his email that he could not prove them: [Excerpted] a) Todd had sex with a hooker, or with anyone else outside his marriage. McGinniss dropped the “hooker” accusation–probably because he was afraid, as his email suggests, that the sole source “may be mentally unstable” and that even the National Enquirer appeared to be ready “to back off this story.”  Yet McGinniss did publish allegations in The Rogue that Todd flirted with other women b)  Sarah had an affair with Brad Hanson, or anyone else. McGinniss presents no named source for this accusation in The Rogue other than an article in the National Enquirer in October 2008 [and third party sources] McGinniss does not quote Cottle directly, but says that she fills him in on local gossip ... . c)  Track was a druggie who enlisted in the army to avoid a jail term.  Or that he vandalized Wasilla school buses. McGinniss’s basis for accusations of drug use by Track Palin is the National Enquirer, which in turn had quoted an unnamed “source” in 2008. He adds that “reports of Track’s drug use persisted even into the summer of 2010” but does not specify what those reports are, or from whom (p. 114). His primary source for the accusation of vandalism in 2005 is local gossip: “word spread immediately in Wasilla,”  Blah-blah-nlah d)  Willow was involved in the vandalism of the empty house in Meadow Lakes.  Or that Sarah rushed back from Hawaii to put the lid on that. McGinniss’s only source is the National Enquirer, which made these claims in 2010. He also claims “[m]any in Wasilla” believe the story (p. 111). He also cites gossip related by Colleen Cottle in 2010–again, Blah-blah-nlah e) Trig is not Sarah’s natural born child. [Me: I think this is the most inexcusably malicious of the lot] McGinniss provides no new evidence for this debunked claim, quoting “questions” being asked on “blogs” and the like (p. 316). McGinniss also cites “many Wasillans” who allegedly say that “even if she had not faked the entire story of her pregnancy and Trig’s birth, it was something she was eminently capable of doing” Blah-blah-nlah f)   Bristol was promiscuous as a high schooler and drank and used drugs, or became pregnant again after Tripp’s birth. McGinniss’s source is again local gossip in the summer of 2010: “Rumors immediately run rampant,” he says (p. 204). Once again, he also cites gossip allegedly related by (but not directly quoted from) Colleen Cottle in 2010. He mentions a July 2010 interview in The Daily Beast with Bristol’s alleged new boyfriend at the time, Ben Barber, which does not discuss promiscuity or drugs, and actually contradicts the claim that Bristol became pregnant again Blah-blah-nlah Read: Explosive Email Shows Anti-Palin Author McGinniss, Random House Likely Published Literary Hoax Read: Random House on Sarah Palin’s Privacy: A Tale of Two Press Releases Read: Random House ‘Rogue’ Scandal Update: McGinniss Confirms, Griffin Fumes, ‘Hooker’ Responds ” The cure of course is to successfully sue McGinnis and Random House for, oh I dunno, $10B?

Joint Operations

Understand?

“ One reason the Military Services have trouble operating jointly is that they don't speak the same language. For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors. The Army would occupy the building so no one could enter. Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat. The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy. ”
