Outstanding moral clarification of what is at stake, and what has already been lost in America’s betrayal of Guangcheng.

Whatever fate awaits pro-life activist Chen Guangcheng, we know two things for sure: The Chinese tyrants will continue to force women to kill their wanted children.

And President Barack Obama, who has ramped up the campaign fiction that Republicans have declared a “war on women,” will continue the detente with the real war on women, in Communist China, where real blood is being shed in a fanatical crusade against mothers and their children.

What? Didn’t we just get pwned by the forces of RINO? You know, like this?

We ran a crowd, a series, a gang of starch-collared, rock-ribbed, steely-eyed welfare-killing deficit slashing conservatives against the RINO Death Star and still Mitt R-Money came and shellacked us all. Vanquished, slain, defeated, Woe Is We, the sky is falling, stay home this year and all that. That’s right, we’d be better off simply sitting at home and waiting for the taxes to go up and the lights to go out. That will show them!

[pullquote]You’re angry and you should be[/pullquote]Nonsense. Consider this year’s election without the Tea Party. Imagine a primary composed of Romney, Daniels, Pawlenty, and Huntsman. Romney would be the nominee. Even with the Tea Party candidates, Bachmann, … Continue reading →

The Paulists are far more anarchic than they admit. Ask them if they are anarchists, and they say no. But criticise anarchist proposals and you will have a real fight on your hands. Continue reading →

I’ll expand this later.

“The Jews control 96 percent of world media,” Galtung claimed during the interview, adding that the directors of Walt Disney, Warner Brothers and Viacom are all Jews, as are directors in the big American television networks.

“Is this accidentatl? If there is a Jewish boss it means Jewish control,” he claimed.

This guy has to go.

It’s a simple thing.  Newt is out.  On to business.

Following the conclusion of Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner, TheDC asked Gingrich if reports of him dropping out of the race on Tuesday, May 1 are accurate.

“Probably about Wednesday,” Gingrich replied, adding that he will be supporting Romney.

If you think that staying at home, forging a “third” party (there are over twenty), or stumping for Obama to “teach the GOP a lesson” are what to do, try this instead.  Punish the GOP where it will hurt them, but not us.

The President tells the troops that “each of us is here because somebody, somewhere, had our back”, and launched into his usual big government rhetoric. It’s dishonest, and disgusting. Listen to the audio.

[pullquote]the President had no family[/pullquote]For most of us, they who had our back were family. The President thinks that government is supposed to have our back. This is because the President had no family. He is a person whose early life vulnerability made him an easy mark for co-opting by statist masters. A family would have saved Mr. Obama from the Marxists. He has no faith in anything other than government; not God, not family, not community. In his view, if government does not do it, it is suspect.

I actively resist the efforts … Continue reading →

[pullquote]no honor in sabotage[/pullquote]This is a tough one, folks.  I confess, I am writing this after the 5x primary loss but before any announcement from the Newt campaign.  I have always said that I will support the nominee, and I meant it.  Now I have been careful to couch that in artful terms while promoting Cain and later Gingrich, but it has always been true.  For many, the difficulty will be felt as a matter of honor, but there is no honor in sabotaging your own team just because you do not get everything you want.

I always tried to keep my ironclad nominee support on the down-low, because I never liked the default nominee.  Unlike that chump Boehner, I do not open proceedings by surrendering the only … Continue reading →

The TSA’s mission creep is making the US a police state

The out-of-control Transportation Security Administration is past patdowns at airports – now it’s checkpoints and roadblocks

Ever since 2010, when the Transportation Security Administration startedrequiring that travelers in American airports submit to sexually intrusive gropings based on the apparent anti-terrorism principle that “If we can’t feel your nipples, they must be a bomb”, the agency’s craven apologists have shouted down all constitutional or human rights objections with the mantra “If you don’t like it, … Continue reading →

The Washington Post has a good article about Secret Service protection of candidates.

Campaign trail security dates back to 1968, when Congress authorized protection of major presidential candidates after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in California, according to the government official, who provided the following information on behalf of the Secret Service but wasn’t authorized to speak publicly on the issue.

By law, major-party presidential nominees and their running mates receive Secret Service protection during the general election, but candidates may seek protection earlier in the cycle if they meet a series of polling and fundraising thresholds.  —Washington Post, 11/18/2011
