Yes, that's true. But we're talking very localized earthquakes, not ones on the order of the India earthquake.

I'm shocked—SHOCKED—that Ellison might have lied for dramatic effect. But I did make note of this, as some intrepid bloggers did note that Ellison's story didn't quite add up just as I was finishing up writing this, prompting me to go back and link their posts.

But it does bear repeating. I'm glad that I have such intelligent readers to pick up the slack, in the rare event that I miss something.

"Bytor" from the Ohio blog Third Base Politics (http://thirdbasepolitics.blogspot.com) sends in this picture from the aftermath of the union protests at the Ohio Statehouse:

Yes, the unionistas vandalized the Statehouse, cutting "KILL THE BILL" into the walls. I'm sure that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh, and the REVEREND Jesse Jackson, Jr. showed up. I dunno why.

Sheezus.

"Enforce existing laws"?

Pshaw.

Indeed, Prof. Heidt compared conservatives in colleges to closeted homosexuals... afraid to "come out" and identify as a member of the minority, so they put on a persona of agreeing with the majority views, and only "being themselves" in private.

As someone recently out of college, I can confirm that this is an apt description.

Indeed, this seems to be the case.

From the NY Times:
"For a tribal-moral community, the social psychologists in Dr. Haidt’s audience seemed refreshingly receptive to his argument. Some said he overstated how liberal the field is, but many agreed it should welcome more ideological diversity. A few even endorsed his call for a new affirmative-action goal: a membership that’s 10 percent conservative by 2020. The society’s executive committee didn’t endorse Dr. Haidt’s numerical goal, but it did vote to put a statement on the group’s home page welcoming psychologists with 'diverse perspectives.'"

You have to admit that it's funny when someone gets hit with the Clue Bat, though.

Social conservatives argue for government enforcement and validation of their personal beliefs—larger government, in other words.

I asked you to explain how asking for larger government was consistent with conservatism, you replied, in effect, by arguing that "the only true conservatives are social conservatives."

I can't be the only one who thinks this argument is ridiculous.

And what happens when one of the three legs continually argues for larger and more intrusive government, and claims that their "leg" is the sole heir to the title "conservative"?
