Limbaugh’s Nemesis

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

What’s the worst thing that has happened to Rush Limbaugh? The Sandra Fluke controversy? Claiming that Obama’s election was encouraging black kids to beat up whites on schoolbuses? Getting caught with illegal drugs? The fact that the median age of his audience has probably exceeded the US life expectancy? Or that he has fewer female [...]

What’s All This I Hear About Youth In Asia?

Sunday, February 26, 2012

Earlier this month, presidential candidate Rick Santorum went into a church and publicly lied through his teeth. This wasn’t some momentary hyperbole during a campaign speech, or while arguing with another candidate. The event was a forum at the Grace Bible Church moderated by Dr. James Dobson, the founder of the conservative group Focus on [...]

We’ve been Framed!

Friday, February 17, 2012

© Lee Judge At the recently held Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) a panel session discussed that the fight against birth control wasn’t working.

How Far Out of the Mainstream Can You Get?

Thursday, January 5, 2012

In the Iowa Caucuses on Tuesday, Rick Santorum came within 8 votes of winning. 8 votes. Why is this amazing? Because it shows how completely and totally out of the mainstream the Republican party has become. Either that, or the state of Iowa just went insane. Santorum is about as extreme as you can get [...]

I Haven’t Changed

Monday, December 12, 2011

Over at Stonekettle Station, retired Navy officer Jim Wright wonders how someone like himself, who started out as a traditional conservative, has become a liberal. And realizes that he hasn’t changed at all, the labels (the little boxes we put people in) have changed. Take the issue of gay rights. Once upon a time, conservatives [...]

Conservatives have nothing to fear but fear itself

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Scientists have been trying to figure out the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives, and a new study adds an interesting theory. Earlier work by Jonathan Haidt showed that almost everyone in the world, regardless of culture, has five moral instincts: fairness, not harming others, group loyalty, respect for authority, and purity. But liberals emphasize [...]

The Best Opinions Money Can Buy

Thursday, June 16, 2011

According to an article in Politico, if you don’t like the political opinions expressed by conservative talk radio hosts like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, or even Rush Limbaugh, you can pay them to have different opinions. Limbaugh regularly promotes the Heritage Foundation, and even encourages people to contribute money to it. Same thing for Hannity. [...]

The Editing of Andrew Breitbart and James O’Keefe

Saturday, May 14, 2011

The published, edited version: Andrew Breitbart is the enemy of truth. He showed two videos that had an NAACP chap that didn’t give a white farmer the sweat off his balls.

Conservative Machinations

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

© Tom Tomorrow It does seem perfectly straightforward, doesn’t it? If high deficits are really going to ruin our country and its economy, then it seems obvious that every rich person should be for raising their taxes.

The Revenge of the Social Conservatives

Monday, March 21, 2011

Right now, the biggest issue for voters is the economy, and recent polls have shown that voters are becoming increasingly in favor of allowing gays to marry. But that doesn’t matter in Iowa, which seems to have gotten stuck in the politics of the last century. The Iowa caucuses are the first test of the [...]

Do as I say, not as I do

Monday, March 7, 2011

In this week’s conservative hypocritical moment, likely presidential candidate Mike Huckabee condemned Oscar winner Natalie Portman for “glamourising” her out-of-wedlock pregnancy: One of the things that’s troubling is that people see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, “Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having [...]
