Eric in his post – It had nothing to do with religion! The guns did it! – suggested that it was time to bring back the Pink Pistols. They are back. West Hollywood Inundated With AMAZING Pro-Gun, Pro-Gay Posters. On Wednesday morning, posters suddenly appeared in West Hollywood, California featuring a gay version of the…

Freedom is freedom, and freedoms are interrelated. That’s the message of this ad. The Seattle poster has caused a lot of trouble on the left, which cannot stand freedom unless they can dispense it in such a way as to make people beholden to them. What they hate most of all is independent, free citizens…

For three days in a row now, Barack Obama’s remarks about bitter churchgoing gun-clingers have been on the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Today’s story is headlined “Obama says he ‘mangled’ Pa. remark,” and there’s an accompanying exclusive video interview with Inquirer reporters which ought to supply a fix to even the most strung-out,…

Now that Rudolph Giuliani is tentatively throwing his hat into the presidential ring, his candidacy is attracting more attention than ever. Here’s Roger L. Simon: Rudy seems to be running. He did the Exploratory Committee thing today. And I’m a happy camper not just because his views most closely represent mine (they do), but because…

As the country recoils in horror over last night’s murderous ISIS attack on a Florida gay bar, the president has spoken. He described the attack as an act of terror, an act of hate, and of course blamed guns. Not a word about the shooter’s admitted religious motivation. That’s because the shootings had nothing to…

Over at The Conservative Tree House, which I rarely link to because I have been banned from commenting there, the marks are wising up. They have a post which reprises my thinking in How The Game Is Played, with some additions. So lets take a look at GOPe Playing Very Dangerous Game With Current Political…

My original title for this post was Why Is Marijuana A Leftist Issue?. But I decided to change it. You will see why when you get to the end. Eric did a post yesterday Why does the left want guns and gays to be mutually exclusive? Which got me thinking about a link I came…

And leave the rest of the West behind. Seriously, check out these pictures. (Via Glenn Reynolds, natch.) They are all engaged in deliberate retaliatory provocation against religious bigots who want to stone a woman to death for posting naked pictures of herself (something which most Americans take for granted under the Second Amendment*): Earlier today,…

They may be mostly a group of lefties, I am delighted that the ACLU has expressed concerns about the pending gun control bill. …we have seen in the past that the creation of these types of records leads sometimes to the creation of government databases and collections of personal information on all of us,” Calabrese…

The very idea strikes terror into the hearts of the left and the right. I found a marvelous comment on the subject here. Libbies want to take away various freedoms. So do conservatives. Only the Libertarians seem to offer a pro-freedom outlook but the folks in this country don’t care enough about ALL freedoms to…

I have not commented on the Colorado Batman movie shooting because I don’t want to seem like a broken record. Every time a psycho acts out, activists and moralists of all stripes read in their favorite meme, and attribute the shooting to whatever they most hate. First, the Tea Party was blamed by irresponsible media…

Eric has written a wonderful post on liberty. I’d like to quote the heart of the piece and then add a few words of my own. …if there is one lesson I have learned from freedom, it’s that there are risks and downsides, and you have to take the good and the bad. Economies do…

Not only is there nothing new about that observation, it went to the heart of the last election. As most people know, the evil of capitalism resulted in the election of Barack Obama, despite McCain’s attempts at haranguing Wall Street tycoons and the usual Malefactors of Great Wealth. As I keep saying, freedom includes the…

I’m confused. What better place to start than with an admission like that? Thinking over a comment I left last night, along with earlier related posts, and something really basic began to not compute at a definitional level. There is an argument going around, which is being widely repeated and embellished upon by ever more…

I wrote a very short post on Cultural Socialism that got some very interesting comments given the length of the post (Two lines – a total of 16 words). So I thought I’d Google “cultural socialism” to see how popular the term was. Not very. A total of 2,580 hits. Pathetic. And the post linked…

Has the Culture War come full circle? I’ve pondered the question in some recent posts, but a story I read about today makes me seriously wonder. A friend emailed me link to a story in the New York Times “Arts Beat Culture at Large” section titled “Protests and Defense of a Transgender Comedy at Tribeca…

Back in the good old 1930s, when radio and talking movies were the rage, few Americans thought to question the voices of authority which issued sanctimonious pronouncements in stentorian tones. “Marihuana” was addictive and dangerous! And all of our youth were at risk to dope peddlers in schoolyards! What the authorities wanted most of all…

I realize that I should have called this post “Words that cause confusion,” except blog posts are supposed to have eye-catching titles, aren’t they? Anyway, a couple of things I read today reminded me of two dishonest words that especially offend me, because of their inherently argumentative nature as well as their tendency to distort…

Ann Althouse reminded me that I don’t like figure skating. Never have, never will. I also don’t like Barbra Streisand. Neither musically, nor politically. While there’s no accounting for taste (and thus no accounting for those who like “Barbra”), I wish people wouldn’t make tasteless demands like this: Call me a stereotype if you will…

Despite the occasional but fervent rantings of idiotarians like Matt Barber, gays in the United States generally do not seem to realize how good they have it. While Bush was president, an observation like that would have qualified as a gay Uncle-Tomism. But now that we have a “progressive” president who has made it clear…
