Isn't "new democrat" just as silly as the old labels?
Has the culture war gotten so bad that even Obama's attempt to transcend labels needs to be labeled? Ok, dumb question. Of course it has. I have been reading Slate for almost a decade now, and it has never ceased to amaze me how the otherwise intelligent and thoughtful people who are responsible for this magazine positively lose their rational ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

This has to be parody!
I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

Obama's Nobel Prize-McCain Stole the Election
Isn’t interesting how all the major TV and cable networks (except balanced FOX), along with all of Hollywood (except Chuck Norris), the entire music industry (except country) all of academia (except economists) and all European Nations (including Canada ;-) are pushing for Obama and the polls are still close?! The Communist News Network (CNN) and ...

Why is the left vested in racism?
Instead of seeking truth, the question an indoctrinated leftist asks, ''Am I offended?'' Economic variability across ''race'' is the major offence. Being offended makes the leftist a ''victim.'' Once the leftist has declared himself, herself or someone else a victim, then through Marxist reasoning, a victim can disregard rational thought and ...

I Can't Stand It
I hate the need for politicians to express their religious faith. Separation of church and state is evaporating more and more. Bush, Clinton, Clinton, McCain went from moderate to religious fanatic for votes. So much for ''new'' politics Obama.

Not an utterly pointless fight
Webb's shouldn't have been concerned about hurting Jr's feelings. His concern was for his child and his disdain for an idiot war (chief) is valid and founded. Obama and the Demos need a few more with a Webb-like background in order to add some gravitas to a light party. We could stand to learn a few leasons about not letting stupid people push ...
