Ted Cruz for Senate
Under The Marble Arch
"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

Don't You Wish You Could Have Been There?

DateWednesday, September 10, 2008 at 07:39AM

From The Corner (NRO)- it's short, I'll just put the whole thing here:

The Obama Campaign's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day  [Mark Hemingway]

So let me get this straight, in one day:
  • Joe Biden, intentionally or not, insinuates that Sarah Palin doesn't care about special needs kids because of conservative objections to stem cell research (and the objections of Biden's own religion, natch).
  • Biden asks a guy in a wheel chair to stand-up in front of a large crowd of people. An honest mistake and I actually feel bad for Biden on this one, but it's not exactly the kind of campaign tableaux you're aiming for. 
  • Long time Obama associate and unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers releases a bizarre statement via cartoon saying "I don't violent resistance is NECESSARILY the answer."
  • Barack Obama (again, intentionally or not) compares the opposing female vice-presidential candidate to a pig, at a time when she's become a figure of public sympathy because of scores of vile, baseless attacks on Palin and her family by Obama supporters. 
Now that's a finely tuned campaign! Keep up the good work guys!

Note to Biden:  I do believe that, traditionally, apostles acquire the power to heal after the Ascension of the Messiah.

Note to Bill Ayers: I do believe that comic strips come with spell check now, in case you've accidentally burned your dictionary along with some American Flags.   Just one question:  let's say, for the sake of argument, that violence is the last resort.  Just what part of "enough" didn't you do?

Typo on the NRO page. The Ayers quote should read, "I don't think violent resistance is NECESSARILY the answer."
