Why Do People Speak About The Second Amendment Differently Than Any Other?
Regardless of which side of the gun debate you stand on, when you talk about guns and the second amendment, you’re compelled to speak a strange variation on English. I’m not talking about the words in the amendment itself. They’re actually quite clear. In the context of a well-regulated militia being the arbiter, whoever the…

Don’t Blame Conservatives For Being Troglodytes – Fear Of The New Is Hard-Wired Into Them
It’s not a mystery what any self-proclaimed “conservative” wants. As their name says, they want to “conserve”. The question – what do they want to conserve? You can take “the future” right off the table. You can’t conserve what doesn’t exist. Not only do Conservatives not want to “conserve” the future, they’d like to avoid…

Telling Trump-Russia From Trump’s Point Of View Is As Dumb As Telling A James Bond Movie From Blofeld’s Point Of View
Every time a journalist on the TV frames the chaos we’re living through from Donald Trump’s point of view, I want to scream. And I often do. If you ask a liar if he’s lying and the liar lies (says “no, I’m not lying”), are you doing anyone any favors by telling their story without…

H L Mencken got it right: no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence or taste of the American public. Maybe our problem is Americans (conservative…

Why Is It So Much Easier To Sell People Bullshit Than It Is To Give Them The Truth?
Magic is sparkly bullshit. It’s no more real just because it glitters a little.

Dear MSM: Donald Trump Doesn’t Stop Being A Traitor Just Because You Aren’t Telling THAT Story About Him
It’s bad enough what Donald Trump is doing to the country, the Constitution and the American People. It’s compounded daily by the MSM’s inability to get ahead of this story. Or grasp it at all. Not only do they report it from behind, they report it from well behind. They’re the clean up crew scraping…

Dear MSM – Donald Trump Isn’t The Only One Betraying The Constitution
A few minutes ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Adam Schiff gave a remarkable news conference. In addition to reminding the American Press that Democrats routinely walk and chew gum at the same time (maybe the Press CAN’T do it – and assume the Democrats can’t either), Speaker Pelosi framed the Impeachment Question as a…
