Yes, it is possible that TPOWM have been maligned all these years.  We just were not paying attention in the right direction.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Reports are seeping out of NYC that these people are sort of like the "traditional" Earth Day participants - you know, people with barely a brush with personal hygiene who demonstrate their concern for the environment (and other issues) by descending on parks, the National Mall, Wall Street, etc., trashing the place, and leaving behind everything from everyday litter to human fecal matter and used condoms for SOMEONE ELSE to clean up.

The sad thing is, they do make a few good points, but for the most part they remind me of the sort that Al Capp lampooned in his comic strips a couple of decades ago as S.W.I.N.E. - Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything.

How many members of the Forbes 400 say they're willing to pay higher taxes?

Actually, you can count them on both hands -- and still have two fingers left over.


Names are named in the article.  But you probably knew them already.

I wonder how many of those 8 are doing so? Because they can VOLUNTARILY pay more taxes.

I'll bet 0.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

OccupyCincinnati Protesters are trying to camp out 24/7 at a public park.  Park closes at 10 p.m. so the police come down and issue citations.  This has been going on since this weekend.

Haven't we learned anything from Waco?  Bring in some loudspeaker trucks, play those kids some rockin' tunes all night long and see how long they can keep it up.

I saw something yesterday that the "park" they are in is private property. It belongs to one of the neighboring buildings owners.

Rush was talking today about some of the antisemitic roots of this.  Supposedly, the 99% might be related to the 1% of the population that is Jewish.  Also that some of the backers have antisemitic history. 

I don't have any links to back it up, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Even more entertaining; tape their ranting all day, and let them review it all night.

Bonus points if you put the loudspeakers in rainbow-colored VW buses and make them think it's their own people trying to help out.

No, it wouldn't surprise me a tiny bit. That Rush would smear with anything he can imagine.

edit - as it clearly refers to being in the 'poorest' 99%. I assume that the original blog will not highlight all the 99%'ers who are putting up pictures - http://wearethe99percent.tumblr.com/ There's the rest of them. Yes, some of them are idiots, some of them are not:

I'll go further than Brian and say Rush is on to something.  The last time around, it was just more blatant that "bankers=Jews," whereas this time the scapegoating is less antisemetic and more plain-jane class warfare.  Either way it is a bunch of idiots bitching about mercantilism and centralized planning and then asking for more of it, so long as it is "their" centralized planners in charge (i.e., not Jews, not bankers, not CEOs, but "progressives.")

Not that what you just said counts as a smear or anything. But at least you posted evidence. Or not.

Idiots? Well, they complain about economic hardship, yet support an anti-prosperity movement. I guess you could call them idiots, regardless of what their sad little notes say.

Evidence of what? That Rush is yet another attack dog? I doubt that really needs evidencing further. Still, he's probably better than Hannity - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoMC2F0eH2Y

The talking heads of the left and the right - say anything that is expedient on that day against their enemies.

My generation is working long hours to pay for mortgages on homes bought at a time of ludicrous house prices. The next load of kids are going to struggle to get jobs to work long hours at. I don't love capitalism, it's the worst system going, until you consider all the others. I'm not going to get my panties in a wad about a group of people who are not having the best time of it, these so-called "freedom haters" with their anti-semitic roots.

Sorry Iain, that Hannity video is major libtard spin.  Yes, the Tea Partiers are upset about big govt, etc., but let's not pretend that the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd is NOT heavily influence/infiltrated by socialists and other George Soros aspirants who are full-tilt socialists who hate capitalism.
That video was just pure wise-*expletive deleted*ss snark.  It's not even paricularly imaginative or original.  It's an old time worn tradition to take statements out of context and it's disingenuous -- even when done for libtard reasons like that video.

So you're saying that Hannity does support protests, except when the protestors are "heavily influence/infiltrated by socialists and other George Soros aspirants who are full-tilt socialists who hate capitalism."

That's exactly what I got from the video.
