Posted at 11:43pm on May 5, 2007 Just say "NO" to economically illiterate candidates

By Mycroft

I am reminded (by Cato@Liberty) that Mitt Romney has no more clue about what caused health care costs to explode last century than any economically-illiterate Democrat does -- and that the RomneyCare he cherishes includes the following travesties:

Posted at 1:40am on Apr. 30, 2007 I think environmentalism is eligible to be banned as a state-established religion.

By Mycroft

"It is time for our school systems to stop accepting the gospel of that false religion and start doing their due diligence. Our children should be taught about the demonstrable solar cycles; and the whole human-caused Global Warming theory, along with the Hockey Stick Hoax, should be taught only as another example, after Piltdown Man and pre-Copernican theories of planetary movement, of how science can be corrupted when ideology gets ahead of the data.

Posted at 10:28pm on Apr. 17, 2007 Bernie Goldberg on "Fox Derangement Syndrome"

By Mycroft

This evening I caught Bernie Goldberg on TV discussing his new book, Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right. He said, "...'Fox derangement syndrome'  ... [Liberals] go after Fox because they put conservatives AND liberals on to discuss issues.  Every time I turn [FoxNews] on I see a liberal discussing an issue ALONG WITH a conservative.  This drives liberals NUTS; they foam at the mouth."

While I was really amused by his description, it still baffled me. Why would anybody object

Posted at 9:20pm on Feb. 1, 2007 An excellent example of media bias you can always point to

By Mycroft


"This morning on Anti-Marketplace Radio–heard on tax-funded NPR stations–there was a fine example of the quiet, unconscious liberal bias that pervades NPR and other mainstream-liberal media. ... So where’s the bias? Let us count the ways ... The unstated, perhaps unconscious, premise is that countries should have mandatory paid leave and other such programs. If we don’t, we’re 'falling short' and someone must 'pick up the slack.'  Language like that, which is very common in the media, posits government activism as the natural condition and then positions any lack of a government program as a failure or a problem [which

Posted at 6:15pm on Jan. 13, 2007 Aha! What I always wanted to say about most Senators but didn't quite have the words...

By Mycroft

"For all his decades in Washington, Dodd joins the large group of Senators running for President without the most fundamental of qualifications for the office: he's never run any operation larger than his Senate staff, but wants to start learning management at the top of the largest enterprise in the world. [emphasis added]

"At this point, though, it seems everyone in Washington, DC, and half of the rest of the country will be running for President in 2008. Most of them will be no less qualified than Dodd." -- Jim Addison

Scott Johnson of Powerline writes, "Mark Steyn found it too much fun not to join in Bill Bennett's inspired "Sandy Berger Lies" contest that has contributed so much to my anger management therapy this week. Seth Leibsohn has kindly forwarded Mark's three submissions." [which follow] HERE

Posted at 12:55am on Jan. 9, 2007 liberals' predicament

By Mycroft

Although John Derbyshire is using the context of open-borders advocacy to say:

"To the degree that your workers’ remuneration is not sufficient for [housing, health care, children’s education, and so on], you are throwing your workers on the mercy of the welfare state -- socializing your costs. Thus, in an odd historical reversal, liberals are keen on a capitalism that pays the lowest possible wages."
