Political Ruling Class *Stimulus Pushers, at the WSJ. “So in the name of still another "stimulus," Democrats are rewarding their own political funders, putting the most fiscally responsible states into even greater distress, and postponing the day of reckoning for spendthrift states.” *Enough, by Peter Kirsanow. “The contempt [...]
Vote
The polls are open till 7. There is no excuse for not going. "If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong." -Robert Heinlein-

Malaise *How to Bankrupt a Country in Three Easy Steps, by Roger Kimball. “What is happening all around us is like a real-life dramatization of those pages Alexis de Tocqueville devoted to “democratic despotism.” There are two sides to this novel form of tyranny. The fundamental political question, said Lenin, is “Who-Whom?” For [...]

Yet another example of our ruling class's disdain for the small people, this time courtesy of the Vice President:
When Congressmen Attack
When Congress exempted themselves from the ObamaCare mandate, I believed we had seen the ultimate expression of hubris from the political class. I was wrong. Evidently, Democrat Congressmen can now assault people on the street and face no censure, no police investigation, and suffer no consequences. Hell, the troops will even rally around [...]

*Why the Surprise? By Mark Krikorian. “Notwithstanding recent events, the main political divide in the coming years is not going to be between right and left, big vs. small government, pro-life vs. pro-choice, etc. These fights will continue, of course, but overarching them will be the divide between patriots and post-Americans. Andy writes [...]

*The House Divided, by Andrew C. McCarthy. A nation is a big, bumptious thing. It needn’t agree on everything. It can even bitterly disagree on major things. But to be a nation, a People, it has to agree that it has a shared destiny: that its unique culture, core principles, and independence are worth preserving, protecting, and [...]
Everybody Draw Muhammad Day
First, a refresher from Reason magazine on why we're doing this: "Terrorism and self-censorship are both self-fulfilling prophecies. If you allow yourself to be terrorized, then everything looks scary, the ground is softened for restricting freedom, and the bad guys win. When nearly every respectable news outlet decides at the same time that a [...]

The Economy (What’s Left of It) *The Case for Doom and Gloom, by John B. Judis. “Brenner’s analysis of the current downturn can be boiled down to a fairly simple point: that the underlying cause of the current downturn lies in the “real” economy of private goods and service production rather than in the financial sector, and that [...]

*Regaining My Religion: The Rise of the Cult of Obama, by Ace. "The article discusses (obliquely) what I think is an important driver in all this, that great masses of Americans have rejected and repudiated, they think, the non-rational desire for religious meaning in their lives. But what they've actually done is only reject and repudiate [...]

*Where Were You When the Republic Died? By Matt Patterson. “There's a reason why Democrats were desperate to ram this through at any cost -- once enacted, such things are all but perpetual. Former freedom-loving peoples begin to tell themselves that it's really not so bad. Sure, government is forcing you to eat state-approved gruel, but hey, [...]

*Paul Ryan, GOP Superstar: If you didn’t catch his article in Newsweak, remedy the situation (I don’t think I posted it, I’ve got a larger article on Ryan and his Roadmap dropping next week). “One frequent charge against these reforms is, however, correct: the Roadmap does shift power to individuals at the expense of government [...]

*The Great Peasant Revolt of 2010, by Charles Krauthammer. “This being a democracy, don't the Democrats see that clinging to this agenda will march them over a cliff?

*We Should Listen to Massachusetts, by Matt Patterson. “That we could come so close to implementing a new trillion dollar federal program that would actually raise health care spending, and saddle the nation with hundreds of billions in new taxes in a year when our economy hemorrhages jobs at a rate not seen since World War II (over 4 million [...]

*Does America Sit Under a Rising or Setting Sun? By Matt Patterson. *David Brooks draws a distinction between the “educated class” and the “public” in his latest article: “The educated class believes in global warming, so public skepticism about global warming is on the rise. The educated class supports abortion rights, so public [...]
