Learning from creationists
0 Comments Published by Jeff, July 9th, 2008 in 2008 elections, The RightThis is great. McCain put out an economic plan (in the loosest sense of the word) that was purportedly signed by 300 economists. The catch being that some of them don’t even agree with that plan, but signed a short, vague statement about McCain’s broader economic perspective.
It seems the McCain camp is getting tips from [...]
How precious. And the Right was always worried about the ideological kinship of communists and liberals. Apparently, we need to be worried about the inhumanity shared between communists and Republicans.
I’m proposing this as an explanation for why conservatives are supposedly happier than liberals. Clearly, if you’re the kind of person who supports torture, despiting knowing [...]
Curiosities of the global warming debate
11 Comments Published by Jeff, April 15th, 2008 in Environment, Science, The RightAs I said a couple posts ago, I’m nothing if not current. I find it curious how often global warming deniers equate belief in human caused climate change with faith. This post from one of Montana’s newer conservative blogs (and so far, what appears to be one of our better ones) is a good example. [...]
A commenter in my previous post linked to a Conservapedia article discussing atheism. I’ve heard of Conservapedia before, but never really paid any attention to it. It’s an amusing and frightening place. Here’s their article explaining the differences with Wikipedia:
We encourage conciseness here, like a true encyclopedia. Wikipedia implicitly encourages (through its use of stubs) [...]
Resident lunatic state rep Roger Koopman wants to punish the not conservative enough from the MT GOP. He’s using Natelson’s voting index to pick the targets. Judging by that index (all of Montana’s Democrats are labeled liberal, while the majority of the Republicans are moderate or liberal), we live in a socialist paradise.
I must [...]
Hunter endorses Huckabee, conservatives are bewildered.
I don’t really care who wins the Republican nomination at this point. It’s just fun to watch. The blogs hate Huckabee and McCain, Romney is an obvious panderer, Guiliani is sinking fast, and Thompson already sank. It’s a train wreck. It would be disheartening if the Republican party actually [...]
Michelle Malkin: holding the Right together
1 Comment Published by Jeff, October 11th, 2007 in The RightThis is a very amusing post by Ms. Malkin (via LitW). The best paragraph is this:
“Debate” Ezra Klein? What a perverse distraction and a laughable waste of time that would be. And that’s what they really want, isn’t it? To distract and waste time so they can foist their agenda on the country unimpeded.
Michelle Malkin: [...]
Glad we got that cleared up
1 Comment Published by Jeff, September 18th, 2007 in 2008 elections, The RightAccording to OneNewsNow, all of the Republican presidential candidates oppose the North American Union of Doom, proposed by Bush and the Illuminati. I know that was my biggest question for them. Did you know they’re building a railroad from Canada to Mexico, RIGHT ACROSS OUR COUNTRY!?!? The horror.
The article also says,
At one point in the [...]
McCain says MoveOn should be thrown out of the country, on account of their ad from last week criticizing General Petraeus.
All I have to say is, if we’re throwing people out of the country on the basis of bad puns, McCain has to go, too.
A new bin Laden tape came out on Friday and since I was traveling, I couldn’t comment on it.
It’s sort of an interesting tape. Lots of reports have noted how topical (if that’s the right word) it is, mentioning global warming, the subprime mortgage collapse, etc. His rhetoric resembles that of the anti-war crowd [...]
