The truest form of love known to mankind

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 10, 2012 25 Comments

Not a mother for a child (or vice versa). Or a husband for a wife (or vice versa) Or a patriot for country. No, the truest form of love is when a Senior Editor of The New Republic pens a guest column in The NY Times about young Obama,...

Your mainstream media at work: Time Mag cover of way too old kid breastfeeding

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 10, 2012 61 Comments

Time Magazine wants attention, and it is getting it: I will fight to my dying breath to preserve the freedom of the depressed former titans of information to run "don't look at that car wreck on the side of the road" covers. And to engage in a bigger mommie...

Obama gives opiates to the monied masses

Headline of the Day, from Zeke Miller of BuzzFeed Politics, Gay Marriage Reversal Means Cash For Obama: When politically convenient in 2008 Obama was against gay marriage on religious and principled grounds; when less convenient in 2012 because he is in need of campaign cash and wants to divert the public...

Rush Babes intended consequence

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 09, 2012 30 Comments

Rush Limbaugh launched a Facebook Page called Rush Babes for America, intended to show that more women support him than support the National Organization for Women. And sure enough, Rush Babes already has more followers than the NOW page, and NOW is griping. The impetus for Rush...

#LandOfTheGullible

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 09, 2012 33 Comments

I just want to get this straight. Everyone knew Obama supported gay marriage, but didn't say so when campaigning for president in 2008 and 2012 for political reasons. Everyone knew the "evolving" meme was BS, Obama was just waiting for the right moment, preferably after re-election. Everyone knew...

It's not enough for Operation Counterweight to get a candidate through the primary. We need to support the candidate immediately to keep the momentum going. Richard Mourdock is not running to the left (often mischaracterized as running to the center) one bit. Listen to this interview, which has the mainstream...

Countdown to Obama’s gay marriage gutsy call (Update – Not so gutsy call, supports personally but leaves it to states)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 09, 2012 51 Comments

Of course Obama supports gay marriage. Of course once he is free of the need to get reelected he will do everything within the power of the Executive Branch to effect a de facto federal policy change. Of course he has not been truthful with...

Yet another futile boycott of an entire state

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 09, 2012 38 Comments

I don't think we've had a boycott of an entire state in a while. California was boycotted over Prop. 8, and so was Utah because it has a lot of Mormons. There also was a Mormon boycott, a boycott of a hotel whose owner supported Prop. 8,...

Stolen Cherokee Valor

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 09, 2012 29 Comments

Elizabeth Warren's narrative of being a descendant of the Cherokee people emboldened Warren not only to consider herself Native American, but also to identify with the most victimized of the victimized. One doesn't have to be a scholar of Native American history to know of the Trail of Tears. ...

It was a blow out, more than anyone expected. At latest count it looks like a 20 point win. Mourdocks victory speech was great. I'll post it when it is available. (Now available at Right Scoop but no embed) For now, you'll have to do with a photo: Elsewhere: Looks like Tom...
