Peggy Noonan: America Is at Risk of Boiling Over – WSJ.com

August 5, 2010

But do our political leaders have any sense of what people are feeling deep down? They don’t act as if they do. I think their detachment from how normal people think is more dangerous and disturbing than it has been in the past. I started noticing in the 1980s, the growing gulf between the...

Group questions Catholic funeral for Kennedy OneNewsNow.com

He adds that while Senator Kennedy called himself Catholic, like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Joe Biden, they are actually wolves in sheep’s clothing. “They do not hold to the teaching of the church.

Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » Has Liberalism Jumped the Shark?

July 24, 2009
By Ticklers Wife

Identity politics, when viewed in its purest form, is racism. Keynesian economics, when distilled to its basic concepts, flies in the face of common sense. Re-branding political policy doesn’t change its ultimate effectiveness. Hypocrites are hypocrites regardless of the causes they support, or claim to champion. The U.S. should not be about “nuance” when...

July 17, 2009
By Ticklers Wife

Mr. Obama’s February budget provided the outline, but the House bill now fills in the details. To wit, tax increases that would take U.S. rates higher even than most of Europe.
