Radical Son Reflections, Part IV: Leftists Are Intoxicated With Their Own Virtue

When I was trying to determine what excerpt I’d use for the fourth installment of this series on Radical Son: A Generational Oddyssey, I realized that I had not covered the Left’s view on morality yet. This even though it’s an integral part of the Left’s world view. It influences everything they do, from the policies [...]

In Defense of Partisanship

One of my biggest pet peeves over the years has been incessant hand-wringing over “partisanship” in politics, so reading Tunku Varadarajan’s latest column on The Daily Beast was a breath of fresh air.  He argues that partisanship isn’t necessarily such a bad thing:
What’s so wrong with political and legislative partisanship, anyway? It’s the best thing [...]

ACORN’s Shame

In an effort to distance itself from the massive, shameful scandals of ACORN’s national organization, the Arkansas chapter of ACORN has announced that it is re-forming itself under the name Arkansas Community Organizations (ACO). Just six weeks ago, ACORN’s California chapter took a similar step, changing its name to the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment.  To view [...]

The Ideological Rigidity of Ron Paul’s Economics

Part 1 of my Ron Paul essay received more attention than I expected. His supporters are intense, to say the least.
As stated in that article, there are many things about Paul to like. But his monetary policies and his political rigidity are not among them. I do not dismiss the importance of sound monetary policies. [...]

Napolitano Stumbles Upon Islamic Jihad

Wow, according to Fox News, Janet Napolitano just described what happened at Fort Hood as “violent Islamic extremism.”
This is quite a step. How long did it take her to figure this one out?
It must be hard, after all, when you’re a person who heads Homeland Security but who has no idea who the 9/11 [...]

Obama Picks Anti-Alito Left-Winger For Ninth Circuit Court Seat

Conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has said many times that elections have consequences. One of the more-far-reaching powers that sitting Presidents hold is the ability to influence the Leftward or Rightward tilt of the entire Republic by the appointments of Justices to the Federal Circuit Courts and to the Supreme Court.  This Presidential legacy [...]

‘Colorful’ is right: the soft bigotry of Media Matters

You know who.
Kate Conway must really want to keep her job.
Conway is one of the three (count ‘em!) Media Matters staffers assigned to work the high steel listen to Rush Limbaugh every afternoon, duplicate his transcriptionist’s work, then make lame jokes about Rush’s lame jokes.
Here’s Conway’s take on a segment from Limbaugh’s show yesterday:
A dissenting [...]
