Our very own Jacob Laksin wrote quite a brilliant post in response to David Brooks’ latest column yesterday, in which the Washington Post columnist likens the Tea Party Movement, the New Right if you will, to the New Left movement of the 1960s.

March 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Writing for Hot Air, Ed Morrissey reports that libertarian-oriented Republican Congressman Ron Paul is more than a bit perturbed by the primary challenge he’s facing from a tea party candidate.
In an email sent to supporters, Paul says that both parties are ”doing everything they can to make sure I am defeated.” He adds: “These candidates [...]
Radical Son Reflections, Part IV: Leftists Are Intoxicated With Their Own Virtue
February 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
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 [...]

February 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
NewsReal Blog’s Managing Editor David Swindle wrote a tremendous post yesterday, in which he exposes New York Times journalist Max Blumenthal for the liar and despicable human being he is. For those who don’t remember what happened last week: Blumanthal wrote an article in which he called James O’Keefe – the young conservative journalist who brought us [...]

Andrew Sullivan’s (Sick) Last Paragraph
February 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A couple of years ago, I was a regular (read “daily”) reader of Andrew Sullivan’s The Daily Dish. Andrew, I believed, did a wonderful job blogging about conservatism, the war on terror and, of course, domestic politics.
Gradually, however, my surfing behavior changed. The reason was that while Andrew once was a tremendous representative of British [...]
Eric Alterman: A Symbol of the Left’s Arrogance
February 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
After our very own Editor-in-Chief David Horowitz wrote a post blasting progressive columnist and Professor of literature Eric Alterman, I sent the latter an email, inviting him to respond to Horowitz’s post right here, at NewsReal Blog. Why? Well, because we, unlike most progressives, mean it when we say we encourage debate.
Alterman emailed me back [...]

Poor Paul Krugman’s Heart is Broken
February 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Although he was one of Barack Obama’s most fervent supporters two years ago, New York Times columnist and blogger Paul Krugman seems to have lost his faith in the president’s ability to “radically transform” America. Put differently, the Nobel Prize winning economist’s heart is broken:
I’m with Simon Johnson here: how is it possible, at this [...]
