I hope no one is too surprised at these recent revelations. The behavior from the Left is completely predictable. Yet GOP and conservative voters along with the GOP party can't make a concerted effort to defeat what is certain treachery. I would in no more blame Dems, liberals, and a corrupt IRS for what they do than I would a rattlesnake. They are what they are and they do what they do. When will we learn?
I've never heard P & F referred to as darlings of the right. If they have a fan site, I haven't seen it. Neither darlings nor right wing are they.
Fascism and communism are two sides of the same coin. I think the left/right political spectrum needs to be revised. On the extreme left is the total government of dictators, and despots. The political system is secondary. On the extreme right is the complete lack of government, or anarchy. Most of us are somewhere in the middle and lean towards one end or the other.
True, but BFD. That's like saying standing in front of a truck rolling downhill caused some slowing down. Or spitting into the ocean and claiming you raised the sea level. It remains unproven (and unlikely, I think) that human activity is a significant contributor to climate change as opposed to other causes. It's ironic that climate fanatics are a little fuzzy on what those other factors are, or how they work.
Just as with liberals in general, you can't win with an environmentalist fanatic. Temp goes up, it's climate change. Temp goes down, it's climate change. Temp stays the same, it's because global warming is causing static weather patterns. I'm posting a one dollar reward to any climate scientist who can tell me what normal climate is.
Holy crap, this is too good, too smart, and therefore too dangerous. That takes guts.
Agree or disagree, this dialogue is filled with valuable truths and perspectives. Unfortunately, I don't think that most politicians and media people are intellectually equipped to derive any value from this information. Horowitz could be right that it's all about proper framing of the message. Thoughtful discourse is worthwhile, but when it's all said and done we're left with "War is Hell."
It was Stalin's chief of the secret police Lavrentiy Beria who said, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” Totalitarian police states are notorious for criminalizing the activities if their citizens as a way to make their autocratic rule appear legitimate. But perhaps the real crime is tolerating such tyranny.
GREAT MOMENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY

PC enforcement may already be in its beginning stages. In the May 13 issue of Sports Illustrated, the magazine published a poll, following their Jason Collins Article. Among the questions was, "Should leagues suspend pro athletes who utter homophobic slurs?" 62% of the respondents said 'yes." Should this become NFL policy, the league will have to arbitrarily determine what exactly qualifies as homophobic and what would constitute a slur. No problem. The American Thought Police will tell us, and their word is law.
