Donald Trump has Jacksonian appeal, sez Sparklepants.

except unlike trump andrew jackson has actually accomplished something in his life (without the help of inherited money from his parents, too)

mmhmm

Somehow the fact that that was posted at 4 AM makes it even more hilarious.

Over at Bloomberg View, I go into the questions of what responsibility pro-lifers bear for the murders in Colorado Springs, what political movements generally have a responsibility to do to discourage violence, and how selectively the press covers these issues. Here I want to make a simple point about the political exploitation of these killings to discredit pro-lifers: I don’t think it’s going to work.

I think, that is, that most Americans are perfectly capable of distinguishing this murderer from peaceful pro-lifers and of seeing that, while pro-life activists, like any other kind of activists, sometimes say intemperate things, they are not responsible for these murders. That might change if these murders were followed up by others, so that we had a real pattern that people regularly saw in the news. But nothing like that has been happening in recent years. Look at this chart from the National Abortion Federation: There were 2 murders attributable to anti-abortion violence in 1998, one in 2009, and none in between or afterward–until now. That’s too many murders, of course, but thankfully we have seen no organized campaign of anti-abortion violence.

lol judging from Joanie Crawford's twitter feed there's no way these numbers are right

Interesting how a lack of murders means there was no campaign of violence.

OH MAN

For the last seven years (give or take), I’ve had a slew of questions I’ve wanted to ask President Obama. I’ve never had an opportunity.

Anyways (as we say in the Midwest), here’s another one: Mr. President, you talk all the time about Islamophobia, and the danger of it, and the wrongness of it. Okay. But, in San Bernardino, a neighbor of those terrorists decided against reporting his suspicions to the authorities. The reason: He didn’t want to be accused of Islamophobia, racism, and all the rest of it.

Does that move you at all? Does that give you pause? Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”?

Okay, I’m not talking to the president anymore, I’m just blogging. Some years ago — I think it was 2002, 2003, in the early years of what we called the “War on Terror” — a colleague of mine exited a plane. Before it took off, I mean. He didn’t like what he saw — a group of men congregating and whispering.

He didn’t have enough to say something — remember that? “See something, say something” — but he did not feel comfortable remaining on the plane. He decided, for himself, that he would get off, and pay whatever he had to, for a later flight. His reasoning: “I may die, but I’m not going to die for political correctness.”

There are a lot of lousy ways to die. Political correctness must be one of the lousiest.

nationalist fanfic

i would argue that slowly going insane while you blog is a much lousier way to die

chilling story

too bad about that plane, but as they say "he didn't have enough to say something"

"I may die"

thanks for the new display name tho

waiting around in an airport lounge, racist & broke & alone

lol xp

i like to imagine the little moment where he initially writes that sentence as Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn dawg...”?
and then some wizened through disuse inner editor emerges from a cloud of dandruff, says "okay, maybe too far" and he hits the backspace key.

This Nordliger post is gold.

I was waiting for the punchline to be that it was the Detroit underwear bomber flight, or something that would at least back up Nordlinger's bigoted thesis on some misguided level. But it's just some dope who got off a random flight because there were brown people on it?

but but but WHAT IF

no doubt a cunning ploy by the airline to make racists pay for multiple tickets

it's a story of a bold man who determined that a flight was at risk and shuffled off quietly to leave it to its fate

Andy McCarthy has some constitutional arguments for y'all.

the comments section of this website is amazing

Oh hell no not going there

I was watching Best of Enemies on netflix last night, and the kind of person who would fine the affected and high-handed and princely manner of William Buckley something to admire and imitate is entirely beyond me. Reminded me of that skull-faced dude from the gamergate farrago who was all about smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey and just generally being a shit to poorly mask his lack of intelligence and abundance of anti-social malignancy.

(close enough)

For years, we’ve pointed to statements by Barack Obama and said, “If George W. Bush had said that …” “If Ronald Reagan had said that …” “If Dan Quayle had said that …” “If Sarah Palin had said that …”

In the event that Hillary Clinton is elected president, we will be saying that for another eight years. Or maybe four, if we get lucky?

Campaigning in Iowa, she said, “Now, I wouldn’t keep any school open that wasn’t doing a better than average job.”

Any one of us might have committed such an error. An easy thing to do. But the Democrats and the Left are so … unforgiving, to put it mildly. Their life is non-stop snorting.

When I was in college, there was a book that was a great hit — a source of much snorting — on the left: Reagan’s Reign of Error. Believe me, such a book could be written about Obama, and others.

you know who else made mistakes? jesus! am i right or am i right?

“Now, I wouldn’t keep any school open that wasn’t doing a better than average job.”

but...it's impossible for all schools to be better than average

plus if you close one, then you've moved the average higher, so in the end you'll be left with just one school

Reagan's most notorious howlers showed a blithe disregard for the difference between fantasy and reality. *snort*

in the end you'll be left with just one school

which would be strictly average, thus also closed.

what we need is one school that is so catastrophically awful that it drags down the average so low that it becomes possible for all other schools to be better than average

and the name of that school? ...Roy Cohn Jr. High. And that's the rest of the story.

lol if only the left had been critical of obama or hillary's education policy

xpost this is a premise to an 80s teen comedy surely

a source of much snorting
