To their critics—who regard themselves as the center of all things—all these men are just different types of “woke,” though some fall to the left and others to the right. Gottfried explains:
A two-fer: SHOT: Prof Thomas Sowell (Knowledge and Decisions) It is not the source or the ruthlessness of power alone which defines totalitarianism, but the unprecedented scope of the activities subjected to political control. E.g., name a part of your life in which Government HASN’T intruded and you’ll begin to understand “unprecedented scope”. I’ve challenged … Read more
The Left not only doesn’t trust the masses it is fearful of us. They understand that Freedom to choose by others is an existential threat both to their top-down order and to their inner selves as well.
The Left’s war on free speech is well underway. In less than a generation (or a Supreme Court Justice or two), we could find ourselves incapable of saying what we think about a wide range of things, which begs the question.
SHOT: NY Times: Refugees Needed to Fill ‘Void of Cultural Diversity’ in White Towns More refugees must be resettled across the United States to fill a “void of cultural diversity” in towns that are made up of a majority of white Americans, a New York Times report states. As President Trump is set to lower refugee admissions … Read more
Our interest in places like New Mexico, Washington State, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or California and New York, even college campuses are cautionary tales. These ‘laboratories’ of liberalism show us what Democrat’s expect and what their policies will do to New Hampshire and even America.

American liberalism is being forced to radicalize. It has moved towards socialism and an increasingly post-modern form of leadership. Our youngest generation is openly embracing socialism. Identity politics with its faith in race, sex, and power as the keys to being and meaning is rising.
The #MeToo movement adopted the credo, “Believe the woman.” That is accepting truth will emerge from yielding to the will of the more politically correct “Her truth,” which is stronger than any objective truth. It rejects the adversarial process of objectively weighing evidence and testimony before the bar of reason. That is a pretty fundamental change from where America started; from where we were after the Civil War.
Tom mentioned Evan Sayet in a post earlier today, which inspired me to go hunting for published posts (on our hallowed pages) with a video from Heritage where he explains “The Unified Theory of Liberalism.”
Once again we see liberalism as a religion. The liberals’ high opinion of themselves is amusing. I forget who said it first, but when you lose a sense your other senses become more intense; thus when you lose your sense of humor, your sense of self-importance grows. –Don Surber Talking about a sense of humor … Read more
We continue our discussion with Dr. Samuel Gregg on the attractiveness of western welfare and how immigration policy, multiculturalism, and a big welfare state, are the seeds of radicalization. We also talk about the ideology of higher education, attacks on free speech, seeking college alternatives to White Tower Liberalism, the economics of SJW degree programs, … Read more
People who are unfamiliar with dogs or have never owned one, are more likely to be intimidated or even afraid of them. While people who are familiar with dogs, grew up with them or own a dog, understand them, know how to read their signals, and have the sense to have some respect for what they are capable of, particularly when they meet one they are not familiar with.
Guns are the same way. People who are unfamiliar or who have never handled or owned a gun are intimidated, wary, even frightened of them. While lawful gun owners, hunters, sport shooters, and folks who feel the need to own a gun for self defense are more likely to understand them, and have the sense to have some respect for what any gun is capable of particularly when they are introduced to one they are not familiar with.
Heh! I love it when the Democrat definition of “Consistency” is spotlighted: You might be a Democrat if you believe… Fighting against government-subsidized contraceptives constitutes a “war on women,” but when Islamists stone a woman to death because she was raped, it is just “cultural differences.” Fighting against government-subsidized contraceptives constitutes a “war on women,” … Read more
‘Grok friend DCE (aka Chan) runs Weekend Pundit and every late Sunday afternoon / evening, he has a long running feature called “Thoughts on a Sunday“. Every Sunday (or Monday), it is a must read. This week had a bit on the idea that Society, under Liberal guidance, is prolonging teen-age adolescence into the mid-twenties. Which, when you look at the results of such coddling, is not good for families, not good for business, not good for these “Arrested Developers”, – and (note to guys caught up in this liberal “you don’t need to take up your responsibilities”) perspective mates are seeing it (emphasis mine):
At first I thought it was just incipient old fogeyism creeping up on me, but now I see that my observations about some members of the younger generation refusing to grow up were not unfounded.
When I look at BeezleBub, soon to be 19 years old, and compare him to others 5 or more years older than him, he comes out far ahead in regards to maturity, responsibility, and fiscal smarts. (This isn’t just a thoroughly biased dad speaking as I’ve heard that observation again and again from a lot of others. It might explain why some “older” women – those in their early to mid 20’s – find him so appealing: he’s a grown up.) While it’s true that he still lives here at The Manse, he pays his way including paying for his tuition and books when he’s attending college.
The extended or never-ending adolescence certainly isn’t helping our younger generation learn about coping with the adult issues the rest of us deal with every day. And whether they realize it or not, it also makes them less suitable as potential mates, the “hook-up” culture notwithstanding.
From Sultin Knish, a blog by Daniel Greenfield, “Violence On Their Behalf.”
For the pro-abortion movement, it has come to this. Greenfield explains that those who love and fight for unlimited abortion are kind of like arsonists, but…
Most arsonists don’t set their own houses on fire. Most liberal policies don’t affect liberals. Yet this the world that liberalism made. It is small, mean and ugly. Call it Sex Positive Education or Reproductive Freedom or…
“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child – miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.” H/T Jagged Rose

“The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest possible limits. … and [when] the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.” —St. George Tucker
As Fox News’ Todd Starnes reported, 23-year-old Devin McLean an employee of AutoZone stopped an armed robbery by retrieving a Glock 40 from his truck while working at the York County, Virginia store.
