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

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.

We’ve been Framed!

As this comic points out, how can the Catholics call birth control a deeply held religious belief when not only have 97% of Catholic women used birth control, but a majority […]

The Cure Caves

I’m sure most of you have heard all about the recent kerfuffle between the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and Planned Parenthood. This episode will likely be used in business schools in the future as an example of how not to do something. But there are a couple of take-home messages for all […]

How Far Out of the Mainstream Can You Get?

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

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

Scientists have been trying to figure out the psychological differences between liberals and conservatives, and a new study adds an interesting theory.

But liberals emphasize […]

The Best Opinions Money Can Buy

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

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.

The Revenge of the Social Conservatives

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

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 […]

Conservative Logic

The Supreme Party

© Rex Babin Monday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia appeared at an event organized by the House Tea Party caucus and Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, but he didn’t attend the State of the Union address the following night.
