My friends, I was very, very wrong and for that, I am terribly sorry. I said that I believed that the entire Benghazi, Libya debacle was over-hyped by the Republicans; and I still believe that, to a point. However, there are many things that have come up since then, which I simply cannot defend. They are: The IRS …
This also comes via HotAir.com and yes, via Ed Morrissey: (I only link to this one, because like Ed, My jaw went “CLANK!” when I saw this…) Transcript: BOB SCHIEFFER, “FACE THE NATION”: Do either of you at this point think there’s a chance that we would have to put U.S. troops in there or …

Because of idiot tripe like this here, which is related to the Iraq War. Quote, emphasis mine: (H/T Think Progress) Even though the benefits outweighed the costs, that does not mean we simply leave Iraq once we depose the Husseins. The legal system in such situations might still require a benefiting party to compensate a …

The first is from Daniel Larison from The American Conservative: The funny thing about this quote is how often his defenders and supporters would use this same argument during the election to protect him against criticism. Romney supporters often relied on his record as a famously unprincipled political weather-vane to defend him against any substantive …

I have mixed feelings about this one: “Soldiers with minority religious beliefs and atheists often feel like second-class citizens when Christianity is seemingly officially endorsed by their own base,” American Atheists president David Silverman told Fox News. “We are very happy the Pentagon and the Army decided to do the right thing.” A military spokesman …
I hate to be the one to say it, but, sadly, it is true: It was two weeks before Election Day when Mitt Romney’s political director signed a memo that all but ridiculed the notion that the Republican presidential nominee, with his “better ground game,” could lose the key state of Ohio or the election. …

Is because of the steaming pile of bullshit below: Prejudice—like cooking, wine-tasting and other consummations—has an olfactory element. When Chuck Hagel, the former GOP senator from Nebraska who is now a front-runner to be the next secretary of Defense, carries on about how “the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here,” the odor …

I find this to be very encouraging, perhaps Governor Snyder did not realize what he was getting into, or maybe he did. The Story via Greg Sargent at Washington Post: The “right to work” battle in Michigan may not be over quite yet. Top Democrats in the Michigan Congressional delegation just wrapped up their meeting with Governor …

I am, of course, referring to this video and article… First the Video: (Via Mediaite) Scarborough has a point, the Conservative movement has become a bit of a racket and yes, there are people getting rich off promoting the extremist crap that is on the right. I could name names, but I really do not want to …
That the very neoconservatives that supported Mitt Romney for President, are now actively participating in his mocking? I guess that is what happens in the Republican Party, when you cannot deliver an election for them. It is sickening.
I don’t know Brooks Bayne personally, but he is spot on with this here: New ideas? But this sounds too familiar. Why is that, Kristol? Oh yeah, it’s plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto, “A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.” No surprise from Bill Kristol. His dad was part of The New York Intellectuals, a group of leftist Trotskyites …
This guy does have a point. I wonder how long it will be, before they, who are referenced in the article; start banging the war drums for Iran? Just a thought. Oh, and by the way; I am still not ready to make nice with the Neoconservatives.
This is a question that I have asked myself. The Audio: Part 1: Part 2: The Story via WND.COM: The 2012 election was an open door for the GOP to lead America back to its roots in faith and morality, and the Republicans were AWOL, says Dr. James Dobson, founder of Family Talk and a brand new …

Continuing with my previous thought; I came across Pat Buchanan’s post election column, in it he makes some very good points on the GOP’s failures. Quoting Mr. Buchanan: At the presidential level, the Republican Party is at death’s door. Yet one already sees the same physicians writing prescriptions for the same drugs that have been …
Great video: My only quibble with the video is that, except maybe for Reagan. The majority of the people in this video support Wilsonian foreign policy. Otherwise, it is very good.
