Barack Obama — The Incredible Shrinking Man
What can America expect in the final stretch of the 2012 election cycle? Bill Whittle tells you what you will see and hear from the Romney/Ryan ticket, and from the Obama/Biden ticket. Will we hear an honest debate about the economy, or a dishonest debate about social issues like abortion?
Read MoreClint Eastwood Speech at the Republican Convention
If you missed it, this is good. Real good. It’s a speech delivered in low key, more with regret than malice, and with poignant references to Obama’s failures and strange beliefs, the need for him to go, to make way for others who will do the job he can’t or won’t.
Read MoreThere is one political party of diversity in America — it’s the Republican party
George W. Bush, whatever else you might think of him, appointed and nominated more people of color to serve in his administration and to the courts than the Democrats have ever done. That is the simple truth and denying it will not change it. I haven’t done the research but I’d bet dollars to doughnut…
Read MoreThis is why the Republicans are called the stupid party
Republicans started with a unified convention supporting Romney. Then they started a factional war. Conservatives and the Tea Party didn’t want Romney in the primaries, they wanted a conservative.

Stephen Moore, writing in Friday’s Wall Street Journal: Under Mr. Obama’s plan, which takes effect automatically unless the tax hike is called off, the capital gains tax rate rises to 23.8% from 15%; and small-business profits are taxed at just over 40%, up from 35% now. Selling stocks immediately or pulling profits out of a…
Read MoreCharts that should spell the defeat of Obama
I don’t know if charts such as this will defeat Obama but the reality they depict certainly should. Obama will undoubtedly get 100% of the moron vote, but I refuse to believe that it’s enough for him to win. Click chart to enlarge: UPDATE: Maybe these charts are having an effect. John Steele Gordon in…

Stories here and here. After the Aurora, Colorado shooting Katha Pollitt of The Nation ridiculed the very notion that a concealed handgun carrier might just have saved lives, saying “All those moviegoers in Aurora needed to make their misery complete was to have a bunch of armed freelancers shooting off their weapons in a dark…

In such a system, the false appearance of “pure” capitalism is publicly maintained to preserve the exclusive influence of well-connected individuals. A…
