The Left's obstructionism, financial irresponsibility, vulgarity, sincere ignorance, and conscientious stupidity Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.—MLK Jr. Liberals are sincerely ignorant. By which I mean that they are committed to, and passionate about, their ignorance—truly they are. And they are conscientious about their stupidity—that is, they are painstakingly precise when it comes to being dim-witted. Ignorance: Lack of knowledge or information. Conscientious: To do one’s work or duty well and thoroughly.

There seems to be some confusion over at the Supreme Court about what can and can't induce abortion. In their ruling in the Hobby Lobby case last week, justices ignored the overwhelming scientific evidence that the contraceptive methods in contention do not in fact cause abortion, as defined by the medical community. "If the owners comply with the [Health and Human Services] mandate, they believe they will be facilitating abortions," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the Court's majority opinion. This, the justices determined, constituted a "substantial burden" on Hobby Lobby's religious rights. At issue are four types of contraceptives: two of...

Whoopie Goldberg and the ladies of ABC's The View stepped in it again - this time calling a legitimate protest movement an act of terrorism. According to Goldberg, the National Opt Out Day and the We Won't Fly website are terrorists because they would have impacted airline travel. While admitting her position could be a bit far-fetched, she said, "...to me, that's like an act of terrorism." Even Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the lone conservative on the show, appeared to agree. But Goldberg and the other hosts of The View seemed to have forgotten what Americans heard throughout the eight years of...

As often she does when she opens her mouth, Joy-less Behar shattered the myth that it’s liberal hosts and their liberal guests who corner the market on civility and intelligence. Yesterday she had help: actor/activist Ted Danson. They both traded jibes about how conservative Americans are easily brainwashed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the religious right because they’re not smart enough to form their own opinions. This, of course, is in contrast to liberals like Joy Behar and Ted Danson who are sooo enlightened and sooo invulnerable to indoctrination that the fact they think exactly the same is...

I find so-called "values voters" to be completely inscrutable. First, their "values" seem to revolve entirely around their opposition to: abortion rights, promiscuity, gay marriage, sex-education and church-state separation. Values including compassion, tolerance, generosity and humanity do not apply. But then, when these voters are confronted with politically conservative candidates who seem to defy the Christian Right's rigid prescription for moral behavior, they shrug. No biggie. When I look at the ticket of McCain-Palin, I see a guy who was a playboy, who left his first wife after she stood by him, raising his children, until his release as a...

In the tradition of our mentor the Great Ronald Wilson Reagan, we as Reagan Conservatives have a duty to bring forth the truth in order to counter the inaccuracies of the Communists, I mean Democrats. Self promoting link - I have written a thread based on the newest comments from that most human and loveable of Communists, I mean Democrats - Al Gore http://www.gribbitonline.com/2006/01/the_volunteer_idiot_speaks_out.html
