Ah yes, communists in action…

I say “communists” because appearing at :23 in the video is a World Can’t Wait sign - WCW being an organization with clear Communist origins.
Anyways, check it out. It’s actually somewhat scary: a video - posted a few hours ago at youtube - of “Recreate 68″ protesters physically assaulting Fox News staffers outside the DNC.

The list of thuggish lefty orgs grows

And I thought ACORN was intimidating….
You don’t have to look any further than its name - BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) - to get a sense of what’s tactically off-the-table for this communist organization.
In a larger story about The Far Left’s War on Direct Democracy, here’s John Fund:
[M]ore power to ordinary people remains unpopular in [...]

Old News: Colorado is blue and selflessness is overrated

Last week’s Weekly Standard was pretty sweet.
The cover article - The Colorado Model: The Democrats’ plan for turning red states blue - cites my boss Eric O’Keefe in terms of successful political strategy.
Eric O’Keefe, chairman of the conservative Sam Adams Alliance in Chicago, says there are seven “capacities” that are required to drive [...]

The Evil and Contemptuous Naomi Klein (Part II)

Consider her Michael Moore 2.0. Yes, Naomi Klein is the new face of anti-free market intellectual dishonesty.
Johan Norberg, Cato fellow and author of the paper The Klein Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Polemics, briefly debunks Klein’s major thesis.

For more evidence of Klein’s exaggerations, distortions and misrepresentations, check out the whole paper (linked above).

America land of the free

Welcome to the Nanny State Nation:

Psychiatrists detect 1st case of “climate change delusion”

1st case? I guess Al Gore has never been to a psychiatrist…
From the Aussie-based heraldsun:
Writing in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Joshua Wolf and Robert Salo of our Royal Children’s Hospital say this delusion was a “previously unreported phenomenon”.
“A 17-year-old man was referred to the inpatient psychiatric unit at Royal Children’s Hospital [...]

The Evil and Contemptuous Naomi Klein

Although it’s quite difficult to identify what she stands for - her first book, the populist No Logo, rallied against the ubiquity of advertising, and her latest, The Shock Doctrine, maligns Milton Friedman and free-market economics by association (yes, oddly enough, by association) - assuming she has some, I’m fairly certain I loathe the ideals [...]

Ken Marrero on Media Matters

A few months ago I wrote up my feelings on David Brock’s “conservative misinformation” watchdog group, Media Matters, in a post entitled Menial Matters.
If you never bothered to read it or weren’t aware of its existence, Ken Marrero sums up the sentiments quite well in the following video clip:

“The Day After Tommorrow…with plants”

Err-The Happening.
Laughable marketing strategy. The previews have that cliché, scary movie-voice quivering:
From Director M. Night Shyamalan comes his first R-rated film.
Haha. Just reading it makes me laugh. But I suppose 6th graders will be impressed.
Rumor is the content mirrors the marketing.
Extremism in Defense of Liberty dismisses it as
nothing more than a piece of crass, anti-humanist [...]

ACORN: “the road to serfdom indeed”

As loyal readers will know, earlier this month I was in St. Louis documenting a civil rights initiative. There, I witnessed firsthand that which is ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).
Intimidating to say the least.
Yesterday, Stanley Kurtz at National Review wrote an excellent article on the organization, and moreover, Obama’s relation to it. [...]
