In a recent article on RealClearPolitics called The University Utopia, Robert Tracinski, former securities analyst for Morningstar and now the publisher of The Tracinski Letter, tackled a very important question- Why do the young vote for dependency—when the essence of youth is a quest for independence? …So take a look at the college experience, particularly for a liberal arts major, from this perspective. You study topics in which the answers are subjective, no one is too concerned about whether it has any practical application or economic value, and everyone is pretty much expected to repeat the conventional wisdom. You express [...]

Liberal Professor Engages in Projection: Blames Mass Murder on “White Privilege”
Imagine, if you will, that you are a liberal regressive, and want to keep your client classes on the government plantation. You don’t want them to become independent, as they would then no longer need you. If they don’t need you, you can’t control them, you can’t manipulate them, and they won’t vote for you or the candidate of your choice. Your adversary is then Western Culture, and the idea that one can better themselves with work and that everyone has opportunity. To combat that, you need to negate those ideas, and tell your client classes that no matter what [...]
Liberal to English Translation
I know many liberals and have asked them all the same question, “You detested that Bush spent so much money and raised our national debt, yet Obama is quadrupling this debt and has, in fact amassed more deficit spending than all other Presidents combined. Does this bother you?” Every single time the answer has been, “No, it doesn’t bother me because he is spending money on things that need to be done.” To which I state something along the lines of, “You mean like A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film, or $600 [...]
Liberal Education Creates Dumb People
It wouldn’t come as a surprise that people that go to universities tend to be liberal. And, considering that they are liberal, they must live in economic la-la-land. And, it is true, as proven by Bookworm… One of the things that made the rounds on my Facebook was a boastful poster saying that those states with the highest number of college-educated people all went for Obama. The implication is that these smart Blue State people, unlike the ill-educated yahoos in Red States, are the ones who have the brains and ability to understand how Obamanomics will serve America. What the genius [...]
Pravda Knows Where We Are Going, Why Don’t We?
I find it a cruel , yet hilarious irony that Pravda, the former propaganda media outlet in the also former Soviet Union, finds it tragic that we are going down the road traveled by the Bolsheviks. Steve, from Motor City Times, has more… Via Pravda (yes, that Pravda): Reading Putin’s speech without knowing the author, one would think it was written by Reagan or another conservative in America. The speech promotes smaller government and less taxes. It comes as no surprise to those who know Putin as a conservative. Vladimir Putin went on to say: “…we are reducing taxes on [...]
Obama Ally Jarret Promises Vengeance Against All Opposition
Apparently, Obama ally Valerie Jarrett has declared vengeance against anyone that opposed them in the first term or election. Doug Ross (no relation) has the details… • Valerie Jarrett: ‘After We Win This Election, It’s Our Turn Payback Time’ « : Openly declared as “Obama’s Brain”, and the figure whose second story West Wing office has been described by political insiders as the true Oval Office of the Obama White House, Valerie Jarrett is letting it be known that if Barack Obama secures election victory next week, there may be, quite literally, hell to pay for those who opposed him… …The part [...]
Newsweek to Cease Publishing: And Nothing of Value was Lost
Today, Tina Brown, the head of Newsweek and the Daily Beast, announced that the long time magazine would stop publishing, and be a fully on-line entity. Here is part of her announcement… We are announcing this morning an important development at Newsweek and The Daily Beast. Newsweek will transition to an all-digital format in early 2013. As part of this transition, the last print edition in the United States will be our Dec. 31 issue. Meanwhile, Newsweek will expand its rapidly growing tablet and online presence, as well as its successful global partnerships and events business. Newsweek Global, as the all-digital publication [...]
Democrat Propaganda Translated
You have to love Democrat propaganda, they really try hard to make us all think that they really aren’t race baiting, dependency creating, and class warfare oriented leftists. Also, as most readers know, I go over my Facebook page daily, and when my friends post an interesting pic, I use it for the Sunday Link post. But sometimes, I find a piece of Democratic/Communist propaganda that is so asinine, that I cannot resist translating it into reality. So, here is the image, and the translation follows… So, here we go… We’re not against capitalism, we’re against it’s abuses… Except when [...]
Debbie Wasserman Schultz Out at DNC?
She went from the woman who could lie at the drop of a talking point, to persona non grata. After shining the excrement that is Obama’s policies, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is about to get an all expense paid trip to the underside of the bus. Doug Ross (no relation) has more… It’s the tragic story of someone whose curls are wound so tight, they’ve obviously crimped blood flow to her brain. Back in April, the Shark Tank floated the likelihood that Democratic National Committee Chairwoman (DNC) Debbie Wasserman Schultz was perhaps on her way out as DNC Chairwoman. We now have learned [...]
Letter to Mr. Establishment
Dear Mr. Establishment, For too long we have been dancing out of step. For years you have stared into our eyes and told us what we wanted to hear, but then unapologetically stepped on our toes and took inappropriate advances. You’re drunk, clumsy, arrogant and jealous. If we ever dared look for a different dance partner – someone who knew our style, who could keep up and respect us, you would just bully him out of the dance hall. Well, there’s a new tune playing and our toes will take no more abuse. You, like most high school jocks, have [...]
Guest Post From The Classic Liberal: There Is No Conservative Movement
Note From Matt: The following is a guest post from The Classic Liberal. It is posted here because our friend has the habit of forcing us to think about what we are doing. I’m all for debate, and being challenged, so give this a read, and see if it makes you consider your thinking or actions. Dan Riehl wrote a couple of posts earlier this year that are worth examining. Here’s the second one first. What Conservative Movement? Bush 43 was correct, there’s more than enough evidence to conclude there is no genuine Conservative Movement in America today; [...]
Anatomy of a Liberal Comment: Change the Subject, and "It's all about me"
As regulars here at the CH 2.0 know, I occasionally get troll comments. While most are not worth mentioning, and many don’t even escape the moderation queue, some are useful for education-displaying how liberals “think,” and react to reality. So, here is a comment from Bryce, from the post: Occupy Wall Street: A Staged, Organized Temper Tantrum? Commentary to follow… “Temper tantrum” is a rich description, coming from the side that preferred to shut down the government and wreck the economy rather than accept a dollar in tax increases for every $4 in spending cuts. Or from the side that has filibustered every single [...]
From the Front Lines of the Culture Wars: White Paper is Racist!
If you took every liberal, PC concept and compacted it until you created a supermassive black hole of ultimate failure, you still wouldn’t be able to touch what Julie Henry, Education Correspondent at the Telegraph, has compiled. Behold some excerpts from the greatest compilation of moonbattery ever compiled… Instead, teachers should censor the toy box and replace the pointy black hat with a pink one, while dressing fairies, generally resplendent in pale pastels, in darker shades. Another staple of the classroom – white paper – has also been questioned by Anne O’Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality [...]
And the Hypocrisy Just Keeps Coming: Lefty Media Downplayed Jeremiah Wright, but Michele Bachmann's Former Pastor is News
The left has turned into an endless wellspring of posting material this week. For the latest in they left’s endless supply of hypocrisy, here is a story from the Atlantic, that was picked up by a variety of sources, including Think Regress… Bachmann was a longtime member of the Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stillwater, Minn., which belongs to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a council of churches founded in 1850 that today comprises about 400,000 people. WELS is the most conservative of the major Lutheran church organizations, known for its strict adherence to the writings of Martin Luther, [...]
Winning the Ideological war one Person at a Time
The other day I learned that an individual I had a few political debates with in the past is now taking the time to educate himself about the founders. His political leanings are to the left and he is now taking the time to learn about the founders. I once told him it wasn’t about political parties; it’s about liberty, freedom, and free markets. I didn’t hammer him for his beliefs; I simply stated that people must learn about the founders and the constitution so they can have a point of origin to base their political belief system on. Apparently [...]
Great Moments in Civil Discourse: Ed Schultz Calls Laura Ingraham a "Slut"
I haven’t done a “Civil Discourse” post in a while. But, the lefties never disappoint, do they? For the latest, here is that bulbous “progressive” twit, Ed Schultz… Where is the civility Ed? What happened to the “new tone?” Or, in your case… Meet the new tone, same as the old tone. Yeah, I’m not following the “civil discourse” angle. However, that was an invention of the left, and, of course, they had no intention of doing it themselves, so sue me. The Other McCain has a story on MSNBC’s response… To repeat what I said before: “Ed Schultz reminds [...]
Herman Cain Destroys Liberal Troll
The more I see of this man, the more I like. RS McCain nails it… This is four minutes of undiluted awesomeness. That it is, and, of course, the liberals act as liberals do.

Preventing Voter Fraud, the National ID, and the TSA
The left is a twisted, sick , convoluted amalgamation of mental illness and failure. The standards change faster than the direction of the wind, and they keep tying themselves into logical knots. Here are three examples… Newsbusters covered the fact that Rock the Vote is taking the Waambulance over efforts to prevent voter fraud… “With such a strong bloc of these young people voting Democratic [in presidential elections], Republican leaders in some key swing states are looking to even the playing field coming up in 2012,” MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts insisted as he introduced Heather Smith of Rock the Vote (RTV) in [...]
I Knew I Was Different From Liberal Teachers When…
I knew I was different than other teachers when during my student teaching, I substituted for a 9th Grade ‘US History’ and 10th Grade ‘Political and Economic Systems’ teacher at nearby High School in a local public school. This event really struck home to me how different I was as a teacher from the majority (50%+) of teachers in public schools, in particular social studies teachers- they were mostly liberal and some were very liberal teachers, and I was a very conservative teacher. The teacher that I subbed for had so many inappropriate left leaning liberal communist Democrat pieces of propaganda and teaching [...]
Leftist Abuses and Bias on Campus
The following is quoted from Campus Reform. This is what Conservatives commonly face on campuses across the country. Click here to take a survey of these common abuses. Leftist Control on Campus Overwhelmingly leftist faculty. Overwhelmingly leftist administrators who actively suppress conservative activities and refuse to address grievances from students who suffer persecution for their conservative beliefs. Leftist domination of most student government associations. Leftist domination of “student courts” which decide issues regarding student government actions and persecute students for activities in behalf of conservative principles. Leftist Indoctrination on Campus Large numbers of courses presented that explicitly in their catalog [...]
