Neo-neocon, A Connecticut Yankee’s lessons from trying to talk to a liberal

Neo-neocon is pondering how to talk to liberals tonight. I’m struck by her saying her liberal friends accused her of going over to the dark side because one of my friends who voted for Obama is now disgusted with him and sent around to her friends, including me, Robin of Berkeley’s recent post at American …

Ex-ACORN worker exposes ACORN's 'stealth socialism'

In September 2009 Matthew Vadum introduced me to Marcel Reid, former national ACORN board member and president of DC ACORN. I only got to talk with her a few minutes but she changed my view of ACORN and the Left forever because she told me that ACORN fired her for believing its stated goals and …

The REAL story in Rachel Maddow vs. Rand Paul over the 1964 Civil Rights Act is that SHE does not have equality and the Left doesn't care

Here is actress Kelly McGillis, who came out as a lesbian several months ago, from a recent interview — she is about the only lesbian or gay person besides me who is pointing out that the current issue regarding minority rights is that gays and lesbians comprise the ONLY minority that is not equal: Discrimination …

Maryland, my … nanny state

I just received an e-mail from the Maryland Senate Republican Slate with news that was so outrageous in terms of dictatorial nanny-statism that I thought it was a joke. And, thank God, it is — although obviously the author of the e-mail was taken in! I love dead-pan humor and fake news stories, especially as …

The stealth immigration policy intended to change the ethnic composition of the U.K.

I have more unpolitically-correct thoughts on immigration reform, based on the hatred and contempt I experienced at the hands of illegal and legal immigrants as they overwhelmed predominantly white Montgomery County, Maryland, which is contiguous to Washington, D.C., starting in the mid-1980’s with Pres. Reagan’s ill-conceived illegal alien amnesty. I lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, …

UPDATED Handy review of Obama's lies from 2008 to the present

I was thinking this week that it is a pity no one is keeping a Web site or page listing Obama’s lies. It would require a considerable staff — maybe dear Andrew Breitbart would consider adding “Big Lie” to his stable of “Big” blogs (Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism) — but it is a …
