Sally Kohn spent time writing a piece that was ostensibly a letter to House Speaker John Boehner. The gist of the piece being that Speaker Boehner should pass things Obama — and Sally Kohn want instead of well…..anything else. I’ve decided to respond to Sally. Dear Sally Kohn, Recently you wrote an op-ed lamenting that …
Most complaints from activists within the GOP and the conservative movement about party leadership often centers around superficial nonsense such as so and so being a “RINO” or them “selling people out to the highest bidder” (and sounding like liberals in the process). But many complaints are valid. For example, the fundraising email the GOP …

** UPDATE ** Chances are this came to our attention thanks in part to the totally awesome Nathan Wurtzel and his awesomeness. (JC) New York City seems like an unusually bad place to be an anti-Semitic business. https://t.co/TWwx5HBnfa — Nathan Wurtzel (@NathanWurtzel) July 24, 2014 – With anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostility against Jewish people on the …
Everyone’s (?) favorite (?) parodist is back. Weird Al Yankovic has embarked on a media blitz in support of his new album, Mandatory Fun, releasing eight music videos in as many days. We’ve seen such madcap genius as “Word Crimes,” a grammar-nazi’s send-up of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”; “Tacky” (Pharrell’s “Happy”), lampooning the clownish clothing …

There is no case against tipping, except by people who are too cheap to tip. The “wonks” over at Vox wrote this piece on how tipping perpetuates racism (yes, they’re beyond parody), classism, and poverty–and it should be eliminated. The post is summed up thusly: Tipping lets employers off the hook Tipping is undemocratic Tipping …

This past week, I had the pleasure of attending a “conference” with the Franklin Center For Government Accountability in the city of Detroit. I used quotations because it wasn’t so much a “conference” as it was a number of assignments visiting various organizations and businesses in the Detroit area to get their perspective on what …
So how does one go from being a lawyer from Camilla, Georgia and the chief of staff of Newt Gingrich’s campaign in GA during the 2012 election season to a Hollywood player? It started out with a letter Millsaps wrote to ‘Clueless’ actress Stacey Dash: Dash, a rare conservative in liberal Hollywood, publicly endorsed Mitt Romney for …

This past Tuesday over at Patheos, Mark Shea, noted gadfly of Catholics and other Christians who come down on the small government side of the aisle, authored a post that started out with the provocative assertion “If we oppose abortion and social safety nets, we don’t really oppose abortion.” Balderdash, I say!

Leftists (I refuse to call them “liberals.” I consider myself a classic liberal and won’t allow the left to taint it) from time to time reveal their true feelings.
