No longer is it good enough to disagree with conservatives. They must be fired from their jobs, separated from their advertisers, booted from the airwaves, buried under a prehistoric rock. The tactics attributed to Joe McCarthy tied to the polemical rigor associated with Jenny McCarthy.
Was an evangelical Christian fired from his job at JPL because of his religious beliefs? A court case beginning Monday might tell us.
“Western nations appear to have fallen out of love with free speech.”
Actually, it ain’t the west that has rejected free speech, but a large percentage of the modern intellectual community, often liberal, that has decided that speech is only free if it doesn’t offend anyone. Which of course means that, under that definition, there is no such thing.
The McCarthyism of the left: The blacklisting of Meatloaf, merely because he is a Republican.
Good for them: Two Democratic senators have introduced legislation that would repeal the indefinite detention of Americans authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 that was passed in November.
My only complaint is this: Why did these same two senators, along with 81 other senators and 283 House members vote for this unconstitutional obscenity in the first place?
We’ve only just begun: Ave Maria University has now sued the Obama administration over the government’s mandate that the university provide contraceptives at no charge to its employees.
The Senate’s tea party caucus yesterday proposed a budget plan aimed at balancing the federal budget by 2017.
The news article gives a broad outline of the plan, including some basic changes to several entitlement programs, a freezing of government spending at 2008 levels, and the elimination of four government agencies and the privatization of the TSA. A detailed look will probably find that some of these proposals are poorly thought out or impractical. However, at least these senators are proposing something, unlike the Democrats, who in the Senate have not even introduced a budget for more than three years.
Rather than bow to political correctness, the Houston Astros have decided to use their original Colt uniform — with revolver — on the uniforms the team will wear in celebrating its fifieth anniversary this April.
People could live with big. It’s too big that’s getting to them. Under the Obama presidency, something outside the norm happened. Amid ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, the $800 billion stimulus injection and a federal spending boom, something snapped in the steady-state relationship between many citizens and Washington. A lot of people feel the government, finally, is really starting to crowd them. It has made them uneasy. For the Santorum audience, the call-and-response word to push back against the unease is “freedom.”
Freedom of speech alert: A man was arrested and now faces 60 days in jail and a $500 fine for simply holding up a protest sign on the public plaza outside the Supreme Court in Washington.
Video of him shows he was still and quiet and more than 100 feet from the Court entrance. Nonetheless, officers arrested him, charging him with violating a so-called “no speech zone.”
The U.S. debt, graphed to show how it rose or fell since 1981, compared with who controlled Congress and the White House.
Though to my mind the Republicans have generally been a failure in controlling the growth of government when they held power during the past thirty years, this data shows clearly how far worse the Democrats have been during this same time period.
Consistently hostile and opposed to Judeo-Christian religious beliefs.
With sources and documentation. The list is appalling.
2010 was a trend, not a fluke: An incumbent eight year Republican Congresswoman lost to a tea party favorite in Tuesday’s Ohio primary.
This story illustrates once again that the tea party movement is not a partisan movement. Republican candidates who don’t toe the line on spending and taxes, like the Democrats, are going to lose.
Leftwing civility: Numerous death threats have been posted against Rush Limbaugh in numerous places on the internet.
A call to impeach Pennsylvania’s Zombie Mohammad judge.
Modern politically correct eduction: “Everybody from Texas is ignorant rednecks.”
The Left’s assault on free speech.
The same media that has done its best to smear any opposition to their agenda is now in overdrive to silence its opponents. This is an issue that goes to the heart of the First Amendment. I may disagree with Mr. Limbaugh, but I will support his right to free speech.
Another state vs federal battle: The Utah legislature is about to pass a law demanding the federal government release to the state almost fifty percent of the state’s federal land.
The context here is that, for most western states, the federal government controls almost all of the real estate, and has in recent years increasingly restricted its use to the detriment of local residents. The legal maneuvering here is a push back by the state.
In honor of Andrew Breitbart, twenty examples of liberal hatred.
Sadly, this list is far from complete. But then, who cares? The left must be allowed to say and do anything because they are blessed with perfect knowledge and the only true path to righteousness. Anyone who disagrees with them is obviously evil who should be destroyed.
