• S.E. Cupp vs. Michael Moore on Guns: ‘I Just Happen to Be Informed’

  May 19, 2013 at 2:21pm

  I bet you won’t hear Moore speaking in favor of soda size limits or donut restrictions any time soon.

• ‘No Possible Justification’: Associated Press Livid After DOJ Secretly Obtains 2 Months of Its Phone Records

  May 13, 2013 at 5:50pm

  I do not understand this at all. AP is a Marxist/Leftist Big Government loving outlet so how could they not embrace the DOJ snooping? If they have nothing to hide from their comrades they should embrace the oversight as a means to ensure they stay on point.

• La. Authorities Force Homeless Rescue Mission to Destroy $8K of Deer Meat

  I would like to see the idiot who doesn’t understand the whole beggars can’t be choosers mantra and actually complained about their free meal. Hope whoever it was is getting really hungry about now.

• Cornel West on Conn. Massacre: People Only Talk About Gun Control When White People Get Shot

  December 24, 2012 at 4:44am

  Every time this guy speaks you think he must be part of the cast of SNL in some leftist slanted comedy skit. Then you realize that he is actually considered a respectable authority on what , I don’t know.

• ‘Undocumented Americans’ in the running for TIME’s ‘Person of the Year’

  Counting the days until Time magazines time comes and they go out of print. We will be a much better country for it.

• Celebrities Demand Gun Control on Twitter: ‘Stop Defending Your Right to Bear Arms. You’re Stupid’

  I would ask our friends on the left to stay consistent and look to the science. This study from 2007 takes and in-depth look at the relationship to gun ownership and murder rates here and abroad.

  The study, which just appeared in Volume 30, Number 2 of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy (pp. 649-694), set out to answer the question in its title: “Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder and Suicide? A Review of International and Some Domestic Evidence.” Contrary to conventional wisdom, and the sniffs of our more sophisticated and generally anti-gun counterparts across the pond, the answer is “no.” And not just no, as in there is no correlation between gun ownership and violent crime, but an emphatic no, showing a negative correlation: as gun ownership increases, murder and suicide decreases.

  The findings of two criminologists – Prof. Don Kates and Prof. Gary Mauser – in their exhaustive study of American and European gun laws and violence rates, are telling:

  Nations with stringent anti-gun laws generally have substantially higher murder rates than those that do not. The study found that the nine European nations with the lowest rates of gun ownership (5,000 or fewer guns per 100,000 population) have a combined murder rate three times higher than that of the nine nations with the highest rates of gun ownership (at least 15,000 guns per 100,000 population).

• ‘That’s What Happens When You Criticize the Welfare State!’: Former Romney Adviser Smacked by Falling Set on Live TV

  December 12, 2012 at 4:28pm

  From Politifactbias:

  Here’s the bottom line: Fiat plans to start building Jeeps in China. It doesn’t mean Jeep production will cease in the United States, but the Romney ad doesn’t claim otherwise. It does mean that the Chinese will assemble more than 25,000 Jeep vehicles per year (if sales trends do not shockingly reverse) that are currently shipped fully assembled overseas. That will affect American jobs.

  These criticisms of the PolitiFact fact check are not new. They’ve appeared across the media from Forbes to the National and Policy Center and many places in between.

  How does PolitiFact respond to the criticism? It ignores it and continues to publish stories that mislead about the Romney ad.

  Ironic, isn’t it?

  I have to admit, the Marxists are winning the day. Unfortunately we have fallen asleep and a cultural shift of entitlement, worthlessness, dependency and a distain for those who have worked and succeeded has taken root. Congratulations comrade!
