So common are accusations of racism from the Left that everyone with a right-of-center political disposition should expect to be accused of hating people with different skin colors at some point in his or her life. This week, it’s Haley Barbour’s turn.
Do Haley Barbour’s Racial Recollections Expose a Bad Memory, Or Something Worse?

Celebs Butting Into Politics: Jon Voight Isn’t the Problem
December 21, 2010 By
They may be outnumbered by their leftist counterparts, but Hollywood does have its share of conservatives. Among the most vocal and unapologetic is Jon Voight, who appeared on last night’s “Hannity” (guest-hosted by the incomparable Mark Steyn to discuss President Barack Obama’s deadly ineptness on nuclear proliferation, as characterized by the White House’s precious START [...]
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’s Repeal Reminds Us That Joe Lieberman’s Still a Leftist
December 20, 2010 By
Don’t let his rare moments of sanity fool you; ol’ Joe is standing right where he belongs. With the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell finally coming to pass, the long-disgruntled gay Left finally has something to show for their support of Barack Obama. But right now the spotlight and accolades are going to a [...]
How ObamaCare and Its Apologists Make a Mockery of the Constitution
December 17, 2010 By
As a victory for constitutional originalism and a major blow to Barack Obama’s agenda, Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling against ObamaCare’s individual mandate has many conservatives cheering. But is it too soon to break out the champagne glasses? UC Boulder law professor Paul Campos thinks so. At the Daily Beast, he says that the Left may [...]
Media Matters Grasps at Straws Trying to Pit Hannity Against Bush
December 16, 2010 By
Attempting to paint one political opponent as undermining another is an especially tempting line of political attack, sometimes so tempting that a propagandist will settle for the most contorted, threadbare argument to that effect. Such is the case with Media Matters’ latest attack on Sean Hannity. Seizing upon Hannity’s latest interview with GOP Congressman Steve [...]
What Motivates Radical Libertarians’ Blind Allegiance to Anti-Government Thugs Like Julian Assange
December 14, 2010 By
The outpouring of support WikiLeaks and Julian Assange have received from the usual paleo-libertarian suspects is as illuminating as it is predictable. Take, for example, Ron Paul’s latest attempt at LewRockwell.com to make excuses for the leaking of highly sensitive government data because—as always—the real villain we should be worried about is Uncle Sam: [S]tate [...]
Are the Assange Rape Charges a Pretext to Bust Him for WikiLeaks? Maybe – And That’s Okay
December 13, 2010 By
This weekend at NewsRealBlog, we had quite the brawl over the sexual-assault charges against WikiLeaks’ anarchic head honcho, Julian Assange. Today, let’s look at the arrest at a different angle: regardless of whether or not he assaulted anyone, is it right to use these charges as an excuse to punish his cyber terrorism? Child abuse [...]
Hot Post: Media Matters Incites a Word War with Fox News Over Term “Public Option”
December 12, 2010 By
This popular post was originally published on Thursday, December 9. Language is a powerful tool. Those who define what words mean (or are at least believed to mean) can drastically influence our government and culture. According to the Left’s lexicon, killing is “choice,” racial discrimination is “affirmative action,” thought control is “sensitivity training,” and property [...]
In Search of the Statist Social-Con Menace
December 10, 2010 By
Earlier this week, I asked Lori Heine who and where the “statist control freak” social conservatives she’s afraid of are, pointing out that what’s commonly referred to as the social conservative agenda isn’t statist at all. She responds by conceding that her fears might be overblown, but still has a few concerns: People like Farah [...]
Media Matters Incites a Word War with Fox News Over Term “Public Option”
December 9, 2010 By
Language is a powerful tool. Those who define what words mean (or are at least believed to mean) can drastically influence our government and culture. According to the Left’s lexicon, killing is “choice,” racial discrimination is “affirmative action,” thought control is “sensitivity training,” and property confiscation is “economic justice.” But does the Right play similar [...]
