The Geneva Convention, as I understand it, is a contract among signatories that, among other things, obligates them to the humane treatment of prisoners of war, military and civilian. Most importantly, the treatment is a guarantee that these nations do unto us as we do unto them. Feminists, and so-called feminists, and even those who [...]

I’ve always been a fan of British humor and the October 31st Times Online review of Obama’s infomercial, written by Chris Ayers is a perfect example of that dry British wit. The title and subtitle set it up perfectly:

Created by the conservative group “Let Freedom Ring,” this one-minute ad just aired during prime time in the swing state where I live. I think it’s very effective.

Like many of you before this election cycle, I never watched Fox News. In my naivete, I believed they were the bad guys and MoveOn were the good guys. Boy have things changed. I now go to Fox before any of the other MSM, and while there are several excellent reporters there, my favorite is [...]

I’m trained in philology–the study of words–and I began to wonder about Obama’s supporters’ favorite word for Sarah Palin, the one we’ve seen on the tee-shirts of men and women: Cunt. Going to my trusty OED, I found a bit of history, which is repeated on the online etymology dictionary. I will paste here, for [...]

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself. And she is a REAL feminist, representing many of us who don’t toe the line of some definition of what that is. The so-called “progressives,” men and women alike, don’t approve [...]

Barack Obama is a creation of like-minded professional and amateur political operatives. Whether it’s the corrupt Chicago Machine or the so-called progressives with their socialist agenda or the ruthless and power-grubbing leaders of the Democratic Party, Obama has arrived at the top of the ticket and tied in the polls as a politically “made man.” [...]

What does it take to get into Harvard Law School? According to its website, some 8000 applicants compete for 500 openings each year: those accepted have nearly perfect LSAT scores and a GPA of at least 3.8. This isn’t a recent increase in difficulty; acceptance into Harvard Law has always been difficult. In fact, a [...]

Apparently, our dear Hillary has created a grassroots movement to help back Obama. Sorry Hillary, no can do. (I refuse to include a link; as I see it, Hillary is acting under duress). I REALLY wanted to vote for the Democratic platform. Or at least the one that Hillary presented. (Susan UnPC wrote about the [...]

Mark Cunningham’s article Why Bam’s Flailing, in the September 10 New York Post, makes clear why Obama’s numbers are slipping and his solid ground has turned to shifting sands. Simply put, Axelrod’s main tactic of stirring up class warfare and playing the race-card in a divide-and-conquer strategy doesn’t work on the national stage. Cunningham writes: [...]

I stole this brilliant image from Not Your Sweetie blog, illustrating a story on the smear campaign currently being waged against Palin by the Stupid Media, Obama’s surrogates, the so-called “progressives,” the Bots, and the regressive morons who compose the political party formerly known as Democrats. They first launched baby-gate, a carnival of misogyny celebrated [...]

Do people have any idea how exhausting it is to have to defend women from the constant torrent of sexism and misogyny? But no matter how exhausting, it is our principles as progressives which are under assault. We have to defend women, even in 2008. McEwan makes the point clearly: I cannot walk away from [...]

Some Hillary supporters are upset that the McCain campaign is using Hillary’s “defeat” to stir the flames of resentment to sway votes toward the GOP. SusanUnPc wrote a very moving piece about this. And then there are the people, women even, who, by using sophistry, disparage Hillary’s supporters, women especially, declaring that by being angry [...]

With all the media hype surrounding Barry’s “very personal” choice for VP (snark), Backtrack’s flip flops have been neatly swept under the rug. Let’s review. From the July 5 edition of Politico: Obama has been espousing positions anathema to the left on several issues. On Iraq, Obama said Thursday that his upcoming trip there might [...]
