How Do You Compromise with a Progressive?
May 20th, 2012 | 
Author: You don’t. Not at all.
Progressives are like heroin addicts, only less honest. They both want “just one last fix” before they’ve finally had enough and will get serious about quitting. But a junkie will ask you for money for that next fix; progressives simply will deem a need for more of your money and then vote to take it. Neither is ever really done, and “just one more” is never enough with either.

High Noon in Wisconsin
Walker is facing recall for one reason: His reforms have diminished the power of unions, and the unions want revenge.
“We did what we did because it helped us avoid all of the other bad choices,” he explains. “We didn’t have to raise taxes. We didn’t lay off thousands of public employees. We didn’t cut Medicaid—in fact I was actually able to add more money to Medicaid than any governor in Wisconsin history. And we didn’t use budget tricks. If we hadn’t done what we did, there’s no way we’d have been able to avoid one of those, if not all of them.”

No More Mister Nice Guy
His blatant political favoritism has backfired. The pipeline, it turns out, has broad public support. The requirement that health insurers provide free contraceptives, with no conscience exemption, infuriated Catholics and evangelical Protestants. His endorsement of gay marriage was seen by two-thirds of Americans as politically motivated.

Savage: Romney following McCain’s losing strategy
Savage said Romney needs to heed the wisdom of the late Republican senator and presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, who famously said “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” and “moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
Savage later explained that Romney “doesn’t have to get mean and nasty and get insulting.”
“He just has to talk about the corruption and graft and greed,”
The Kultursmog Is Kaput
Some of the characteristic vices of Liberalism have been there from the start: the arrogance and smugness; the readiness to spend other people’s money; the sense of entitlement, as if they owned the political mainstream and all other views were extreme.
Liberal fascism will remain“an unrealized American nightmare” if the electorate follows through the repudiation of the Democrats that began in 2010

The Vanishing Feeling of Freedom
The primary reason why it is so difficult to defend political liberty today is because freedom is a rational construct, and thus cannot be understood by the irrational. Children, or adults whose moral reasoning skills are stalled at childish levels, are unable to experience it — they literally don’t know what they are missing.

Obama’s Chicago Thug Way Invades Wisconsin
But folks, what I find most disturbing is that we have "presidential thugs" — in essence, emotionally threatening, and with threat of physically beating, an 80-year-old woman and her family.
What am I saying? I am saying it is all about Obama. Leadership flows from the top down.

Is demography destiny?
We are not at that terrible point yet – but that is the direction in which we are headed, under the spell of magic words like “multiculturalism” and “diversity,” which have become substitutes for thoughts, even among those who pride themselves on being “thinking people.”
Obama’s Oprah Problem
She didn’t see it coming. One day, Oprah Winfrey turned around, and her nationally syndicated show was sliding in the ratings, and her audience was fleeing en masse. And it happened soon after a day she thought was one of the best in her life.
Isn’t that how all the giants fall? When they least expect it?

Bill Clinton: Middle class tax hikes are coming, my friends
Set aside the tired Democrat frauds of yesteryear and their successors, and understand this: every tax increase is a middle-class tax increase. You pay all of them, in one form or another, because the “middle class” – an artificial leftist construct that describes no common group of people or interests – is where all the money is. Every corporate tax comes out of your wallet. Every tax on the Evil Rich bubbles down through the economy, hindering growth and destroying jobs.
