Remember

Every year on this date, a somber anniversary rolls around which which we would all do well to never forget. It was on this day in 1970 when anti-war protesters at Kent State University were confronted by members of the Ohio National Guard. Thirteen seconds and 67 bullets later, more than a dozen of the [...]

Silly String and smashing windows.

Just keep this in mind … it’s the Tea Party crowd that we have to fear.  Seattle celebrated May Day yesterday, with leftists swarming the streets demonstrating what a wonderful world it would be if they could only convince people to put them in charge. First, though, they’d have to actually show their faces. By the [...]

Action

I first expressed some concerns over this growing meme one week ago, and MK Hammer found it cropping up in other places a few days later. Now it’s apparently spilling out into the streets of California, as people attempt to make the recently expired cop killer Christopher Dorner into some sort of martyr / hero. [...]

Rocka bye bye baby

Ever since Russia voted to ban the adoption of babies to parents in the United States, the entire subjected has become a foreign relations quagmire. Relations between our two nations have continued to sour, and this has become something of a political hot potato. But not everyone is backing up Vladimir Putin on this strange [...]

Justice

As the year winds to a close, here’s one name we haven’t heard in a while. Do you remember the Occupy movement? You know… those folks that were going to be the much needed counterweight to the Tea Party? Seems like they sort of disappeared there for a while. But at least out on the [...]

Allies.

The office of Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi has said that the decree giving him sweeping new powers is temporary and not intended to concentrate power in his hands… “The presidency reiterates the temporary nature of those measures, which are not intended to concentrate power, but to avoid … attempts to undermine democratically elected bodies and [...]

Takin' it to the street

This is like a trip down memory lane. (Well, if Memory Lane happens to be lined with cop cars covered in feces anyway.) Remember when Occupy Wall Street was The Next Big Thing? And how it was going to rise up to be the counterweight to the Tea Party… an unstoppable force being promoted 24/7 [...]

Suppression.

The first mention of this that I saw online was in a LA Times story about the filmmaker, where it was mentioned in passing five paragraphs down. If you thought General Dempsey pressuring Terry Jones to pipe down was bad, how much worse is it to have the U.S. government leaning on one of the [...]

All fizzle, no sizzle.

Rarely do we get to see two competing viewpoints this explicitly matched against each other, with enough separation to judge the strength of each side.  After leading politicians in three of America’s largest cities threatened to block Chick-fil-A from operating because of the political and religious beliefs of its ownership, customers flooded into Chick-fil-A locations [...]

Plus, the wisdom of the founders on open markets.

One day after having the best sales day in its history, Chick-fil-A will have to prepare itself for a counter-protest to yesterday’s “appreciation day” by those outraged over threats made by mayors and city council members in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York (Mayor Michael Bloomberg did not join his colleagues in the other [...]

Mayhem

Those darned Tea Party hoodlums are at it again. After all, who else would run around protesting Obama and Rahm Emanuel? Oh… these guys. Three men — Brian Church, 22, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 27, of Keene, N.H.; and Brent Vincent Betterly, 24 of Oakland Park, Fla. — allegedly plotted to firebomb President [...]

Nostalgia and nonsense.

Really?  The most influential and newsworthy person of the year currently occupies space in urban downtown areas, unless you’re on the West Coast, where you can find them hanging out at the docks, blocking traffic and making your cost of goods needlessly increase.  At least that’s how Time Magazine sees it, and they get there [...]
