Yes, aren’t you so glad to learn that your tax paying dollars are going to David Brock’s Media Matters? Whether you are or not, they surely are: David Brock, the conservative turned liberal advocate, has recently garnered a considerable amount of press coverage for his attacks on Fox News for, among many other things, allegedly [...]

In the ensuing days after the Tucson shooting, the Federal Government has sent a slew of people there to work with the locals in trying to figure out just what the heck was going on with Jared Loughner, as this Washington Post article highlights: A team of 250 federal investigators and 130 local detectives trying [...]

NOTE: The Trolls are getting just what they want, too, when we respond to them. No matter how we try and reason with them, or provide facts to their lies and rumors, they will continue to incite, agitate, hurl insults, provide false information, and name-call, all in the name of hijacking these threads. With Obama [...]

* Bumped Up * There is no need to rehash the numerous assaults on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, or those lumped together and labeled “Conservatives” (presumably, anyone who does not have a LD – Lefty Democrat – after their name), in the wake of the Tucson shooting. From the very first press conference with [...]

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard. Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

* Bumped up * An old friend of mine sent me an article recently from NPR, “Teacher Suspended After Stopping Anti-Gay Talk.” My friend was a high school teacher for many years (and now teaches on the community college level), so naturally, this would pique her interest. Mine, too. But the headline is a bit [...]

* Bumped up * Many have written about the abrupt firing of NPR and Fox News commentator, Juan Williams, for comments Mr. Williams made regarding Muslims on a recent Bill O’Reilly program. There is no need for me to duplicate their worthy efforts (Bronwyn’s Harbor of NQ has two very good posts on the incident, [...]

Could be, according to the AFL-CIO president, Richard Trumka, if she doesn’t watch her words. Okay – I have to stop right there. Can I just tell you how much I resent it when men tell women how they should talk? That would be a big pet peeve of mine. So, from the get-go, I [...]

There is much in the news about our current economic crisis right now, the mosque Imam Rauf wants to build near Ground Zero (on purpose), and Obama’s 274th vacation (okay, not really, but it seems like it). But I’m not talking about any of that. Nope, I have some interesting little news tidbits for you. [...]

Yes, yes, more about the whole mosque thing in New York, though this is about a different aspect of it. And that would be our First Amendment right to free speech. Remember how Obama went on and on about the mosque-builders and freedom of religion, as if this had anything whatsoever to do with freedom [...]

You might not want to be drinking coffee or anything right this moment. Why? Well, when I tell you just who the mosque supporters want to come out in support of building the mosque 60 feet from Ground Zero, whatever beverage you’re consuming may end up on your computer screen. Okay. Ready? George W. Bush. [...]

Especially if you consider yourself a Tea Party member. Yep, the day after Michelle Obama went and hung out with the NAACP leadership, the NAACP declared the Tea Party one big bunch of racists. All right, they said maybe it wasn’t ALL Tea Party members, just the ones who want to return to “the pre-civil [...]

Who’s afraid of a little Tea Party? Everyone, fortunately. So says Kevin O’Brien of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, who correctly points out that while Tea Partiers may lean conservative, they are filled with more anti-incumbent fever (for both sides) than anyone would care to admit: Democratic officeholders should be afraid. Republican officeholders, too. For many [...]

What sales tactic is the most persuasive? Which emotion, when exploited, motivates human beings to reach for their wallets – or their guns? The answer, of course, is fear. And fear, when stoked by demagogues and poured over a volatile flammable mass only needs one match to create a frightful conflagration. Witness the American “Tea [...]

I admit, when I first saw the headline about the child refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance, I just assumed it was about the whole “under God” thing in there. Well you know what they say when one “assumes,” and nowhere was that more the case than here, as this article makes clear, A [...]
