Newspaper Owners Play Hardball With Union: Agree to Our Proposed Cuts or Face ‘Liquidation’

January 12, 2013 at 4:44pm

Who writes these headlines? It is the Union playing “hardball” with a business about to go under. The newspaper might have been considered playing “hardball” if it were solvent and had done this years ago — as it should have to avoid this predicament in the first place. Glenn, you got to get the website out of Manhattan, or the Manhattan out of your website!
Surprised? Current U.S. Congress Will Likely Go Down in History as Most Unproductive Since 1940s

December 29, 2012 at 2:57am

Here we go again, sourcing a failed left wing news outlet, this time the Huffington Post, by using their definition of what makes a Congress unproductive. We are not even being asked to question it, only if we are “surprised” by their findings.

Good governance should lead a conservative to pass less legislation, if for no other reason than it will inevitably will be codified by an unelected, biased, and unaccountable bureaucracy, with the shear volume of their output adding to the indecipherable nature of our laws. When no one understands the law then it ends up meaning whatever the powerful and connected say that it means, making it increasingly perilous for the average citizen.

So not only should we be applauding those who pass less legislation, they should even be encouraged to “unpass” laws; that is, deregulate. But the way this story is written this is not presented as an option. If fact I’m sure I’ll be reading here sometime soon that this Congress is the least popular since the time of Nero. Surprised? Discuss.

It’s time to Beck to indulge in a little less mysticism (hasn’t been good for Oprah) and mind the store a little more closely.

‘Republican F**got!’: GOP Campaign Worker Beaten, Hospitalized After Alleged Anti-Gay Attack

October 27, 2012 at 12:43am

Black, white, gay, straight, these things always and only break one way – Left. If it doesn’t move that agenda FORWARD, it didn’t happen. Bet you won’t be hearing much from Dan Savage on this one.
’2016′ Creator Dinesh D’Souza Resigns College Presidency Amid Scandal Allegations

It was critically important to expose this now as opposed to say, three weeks from now. Really.
‘Pure Libel’: Dinesh D’Souza Speaks Out Against Scandal Allegations

October 18, 2012 at 8:14am

IF YOU CAN’T DISCREDIT THE MESSAGE THEN DISCREDIT THE MESSENGER
And then act as if it’s one and the same.

This sounds like another election season hatchet job, just as what happened to Herman Cain, David Barton, and now Dr. D’ Souza. Cain’s attackers faded into the woodwork immediately after he quit, the claims against Barton unraveled — but only Glenn covered that — and the allegations against D’Souza’s now sound to me like fabrications. But what should it matter? His book and subsequent movie were about political science, not theology. We have plenty of time to argue the latter — after November 6th.

Don’t assume that Evangelicals represent a united front any more than Catholics do. The Catholics cleaned up their messaging after repeated affronts by phoney front groups in ’08. Evangelicals have yet to engage in such a housecleaning. This voting block is critical in several swing states. So don’t be surprised if you see more of the same in these last few weeks.

If you can’t attack the message attack the messenger. Right before an election. A recurring theme. Just a few more weeks. Stay strong.
‘Friday Night Lights’ Author Describes How He Was ‘Savaged’ After Endorsing Mitt Romney

October 14, 2012 at 10:01pm

Freedom of speech is an exceedingly rare privilege in the world, worth each and every snarky tweet. I got a car window shattered for the audacity of putting up a McCain sign in my front yard in ’08. That came after having the sign kicked over about a half a dozen times. Irony is that I wouldn’t have crossed the street for this guy in the primaries. After that, I knew I’d be putting up a sign in ’12 for whoever the other candidate would be. My Romney sign is standing, being respected — youth unemployment at 17% must have curbed some enthusiasm — even had neighbors ask us for one. I had a spare. Join me, Buzz Bissinger, and others willing exercise a hard won and easily lost constitutional right to publicly support a candidate either through an endorsement, contribution, bumper sticker, or yard sign in an election where your vote still counts (as compared to many of our newly found friends and allies where it doesn’t matter who you vote for you already know who is going to win).
