Obstructionist Politics

For at least the last year, liberals of all shades have done their best to paint republitards as “obstructionists” who have done nothing but stall congress, keeping important bills from being passed, doing everything in their power to block Obama from being able to give us “free” unicorns and ponies. But it seems that festering […]

One of the prominent and infinitely fucking annoying libertarded memes of the last few weeks is the idea that the elections are being hijacked by “outside groups” that are able to anonymously fund political speech because of a nefarious SCOTUS decision (Citizens United v Federal Election Commission (PDF)) which enables these groups to spend unlimited […]

The New York Times concerning Obama’s begging of plea to Hispanic voters: In a radio interview that aired on Univision on Monday, Mr. Obama sought to assure Hispanics that he would push an immigration overhaul after the midterm elections, even though he has not been able to attract Republican support. This should certainly be thought […]

Too Late

The New York Times on the French union strikes against raising the retirement age: But the determination of the protesters — and their dislike of Mr. Sarkozy — is forcing the hand of Mr. Chérèque, whose aides have privately expressed concerns about pressing the strikes too far and damaging the unions, by making them look […]

Statism at Its Finest

Frank Dikötter on Mao’s movement known as The Great Leap Forward: Take, for instance, the Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1962, when Mao thought that he could catapult his country past its competitors by herding villagers across the country into giant people’s communes. In pursuit of a utopian paradise everything was collectivised. People had […]

One Thing That Is Bush’s Fault

Pointing the finger backwards has been a staple in the Obama propaganda factory since day 1. With every problem he faces, his first instinct is to blame Bush.

Fed Hypocrisy, a Short Monologue

The Federal Government (at Arizona): You cannot presume that you should enforce federal law, despite the explicit wishes of the residents of your state.
