What is the truth ?
Does it matter?
Today it seems that the truth takes a backseat to the opinion. Truth, to many (at least the MSM) is not important, the opinion is. And how popular and how well marketed the opinion, how successful the story. And if the truth does not …
Good News, Bad News
December 3, 2008 The bad news is that Saxby Chambliss, race-baiting winger creep, managed to get his sorry tuchis back into the Senate for another term. The good news is that Bill O’Reilly’s head may explode anyway. Posted by stevenhartFiled in Great Minds of Conservatism, SocietyTags: Al Franken, Bill O'Reilly, Saxby Chambliss, U.S. Senate
Vince Fumo, the Charmer
Vince Fumo, the Charmer Submitted by Dan U-A on Wed, 12/03/2008 - 8:35am. I haven't follow the Fumo trial too closely, but, this seemed noteworthy. As the Inquirer reported over the weekend, Fumo was a real charmer: Trying to make Rendell pay In another anti-Rendell move in 2002, Fumo approved the plan to build the database on the locations of Section 8 apartments. The data were entered but apparently never used. Cain, Fumo's political consultant, told the jury about the basic idea. "It
Race relations and me
This article is in response to Robert Krzisnik’s article “Racism immunity?” on his blog. Since federation in 1901 and up until the 1960s, Australia had an immigration policy known as the ”white Australia policy”. The white Australia policy was intended to keep the Australian population mainly Anglo-Saxon in race and culture. There was a perception that Australia was such a large country and the population was so small that we would be over run by Asians, who were seen as an inferior race of
We’re still waiting to get “swamped”
Ten-plus years on, we’re still getting doomsday predictions from our right-wing politicians who still seem to think getting swamped by whoever the latest Scary People are. Pauline Hanson in 1996: “I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 per cent of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate.” Of course, John Howard never denounced this blatant race-baiting a
Paybacks are a real b---h, no?
Fishbowl DC has been keeping tabs of which media outlets have been allowed to ask a question at President-elect Barack Obama's five press conferences so far. They report Fox News is 0-5. "Questions instead went to such outlets as ABC, New York Times, CBS, Reuters and the Associated Press." "Fox News shut out again at Obama press conference". I don't know about you, but the idea of Faux News Channel being served frequent and healthy helpings of humble pie kinda brings a smile to my face. Hey,
McCarthyland
McCarthyland I think Neal Gabler is onto something here: But there is another rendition of the story of modern conservatism, one that doesn’t begin with Goldwater and doesn’t celebrate his libertarian orientation. It is a less heroic story, and one that may go a much longer way toward really explaining the Republican Party’s past electoral fortunes and its future. In this tale, the real father of modern Republicanism is Sen. Joe McCarthy, and the line doesn’t run from Goldwater to Reagan to Ge
Ballad of the Magical Half-Negro (by Baz Luhrmann).
I could never be a real militant. Because there’s no way a real militant would’ve sat through Baz Luhrmann’s latest epic, Australia, which clocks in at a superfluous 3+ hours, and dug it as much as I did. It’s a film rife with knee-jerk infuriation potential. It’s got everything to rankle the revolutionary: racial slurs, a brother taking bullets for Hugh Jackman, an abusive white-on-black relationship, the phrase “I’m as good as Black to those people out there,” and even a little blackface f
“Paranoid” Gun Owners
Xlrq rakes anti-gun columnist Tamara Dietrich over the coals for villifying and race-baiting those who dare to exercise their Second Amendment rights. By the way Tamara, I’m black, I own guns,... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit www.dcthornton.com for full links, other content, and more! ]]
The Clinton Legend: Mend it, Don’t End It (Now With In-Depth Carpentry Update!)
We’re not telling you anything you don’t already know: at a little after 10:30 this morning, President-elect Barack Obama will nominate Hillary Clinton to serve as Secretary of State in his administration. That’s right. And it’s a move that struck precisely the right note here at VDB. Precisely. Hillary brings solid chops and an iron will to the job, and she simply can’t be brushed back by unfavorable press or ideological opposition. She’s tough as six-penny nails. And she starts in a posit
No, Not the Muzzle
I think that there are really good local conservative bloggers. There are those who are not so good. And then, there are those whose content borders on the hysterical. One of these is Mary at Freedom Eden.Her latest "masterpiece" is a look at Bill Cunningham, a Cinncinati-based radio show host, who has been running afoul of Media Matters, a self-professed media watchdog. Ms Freedom Eden claims that Media Matters is targeting Cunningham because of his continued use of the Barack Obama's middle na
Let the Eagle Soar
Steve Conn:[P]erhaps the nomination which best demonstrated just how inept this administration would prove to be was John Ashcroft. You will recall that Ashcroft got the job of running the Justice Department because he lost his Senate seat in the 2000 election. To a dead man. The reward for failing to beat the deceased Mel Carnahan was the job of Attorney General. It was the first example of what became all too common: for Bush, our MBA president, no failure is so great that it doesn't deserve a
Why Is Clinton Holding on to that Donor List?
When I’ve interviewed for jobs (and I’ve had to do that with increasing regularity in the past month or so), I complied with EVERYTHING prospective employers requested of me. Even if I didn’t get the job, they couldn’t turn me down because I lacked the qualifications, didn’t meet the desirables, or do what I was asked. It’s what you do when there’s a job you want. So, I’m finding it bloody difficult (as the British would say) that Bill Clinton won’t fork over those donor lists until Obama off
The McCarthy Gene and Today's GOP?
I remember in 2003, when I debated the Iraq war with many people on campus, I kept hearing the line, "oh, that's just McCarthyism."This was the response from leftists who refused to acknowledge that Saddam Hussein's regime had played cat and mouse with international weapons inspectors for a decade, a regime that the Clinton administration pledged to topple in the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998, and a regime with an opaque nuclear development program that would not have been been made fully transpa
Suspect Nabbed in Little Rock, Ark T.V. Anchor Beating Murder
I got one thing to say about this right here… Via NYT: Aware that the man they were seeking in the killing of a television anchorwoman knew he was a suspect and fearful that he was already fleeing, the police provided the victim’s employer and its competitors their lead story on Wednesday’s 10 p.m. newscasts, giving the suspect’s name and picture at a news conference that the stations broadcast live. Almost within seconds, the authorities say, tips began flooding in, and 90 minutes later th
Wag the Blog: An Obama Mandate?
Wag the Blog: An Obama Mandate? Did President-elect Barack Obama earn a mandate on Nov. 4? (AP Photo by Pablo Martinez Monsivais) At an otherwise news-less press conference yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama was asked about the nature of his victory earlier this month. He responded: "We had a decisive win because of the extraordinary desire for change on the part of the American people. I don't think there is any question that we have a mandate to move the country in a new direction." Th
National Post editorial board: The Moon report gets it right
‘The principal recommendation of this report is that section 13 be repealed so that the censorship of Internet hate speech is dealt with exclusively by the criminal law.” We can’t recall the last time reading 28 words gave us such an exquisite frisson. On Monday, the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) released a consultant’s report calling for the federal human rights police to lose their power to censor speech on the Internet and in other forms of media. We wholeheartedly concur, and u

White Extremists Lash Out Over Election of First Black President by Howard Witt (Los Angeles Times) November 23 - Bogalusa, Louisiana - Barely three weeks since America elected its first black president, noose hangings, racist graffiti and death threats have struck dozens of towns across the country. More than 200 such incidents - including cross burnings, assassination betting pools and effigies of President-elect Barack Obama - have been reported, according to law enforcement authorities and t
Executive (Dis)Orders: Pro-life Policies Set to be Jettisoned
http://catholicexchange.com/2008/11/24/114504/ By Steven W. Mosher, CATHOLIC EXCHANGE, November 24th, 2008 Obama’s transition team is busily preparing a thick sheaf of Executive Orders for the President-elect to sign the day he takes office.

Executive (Dis)Orders: Pro-life Policies Set to be Jettisoned
Obama’s transition team is busily preparing a thick sheaf of Executive Orders for the President-elect to sign the day he takes office. And — in a reprise of what happened when Bill Clinton took power 16 years ago — the pro-life policies of the Bush Administration will apparently be the first to go. Obama appears set to reverse existing Executive Orders that protect taxpayers from having to fund abortions at home and abroad. Moreover, Bush’s prohibition against the vivisection of tiny humans
Domestic Violence Industry: Racist
Domestic Violence Industry: Racist Cultural Reality, NMA Staff Writer The Family Place, an abuse shelter in Dallas, recently placed race-baiting advertisements on local buses. The ads depict a smiling African-American girl crowned with a tiara who innocently predicts, “One day my husband will kill me.” Barbara Kay of the National Post charged the ads were “outright lies.” Dallas Morning News columnist James Ragland labeled [...]
