April Foolery – The Diary From New Galt Gulch

By: Thursday April 1, 2010 7:00 am

I figure we can all use a little bit of a laugh, so for your enjoyment, an imagining of what it would be like if conservatives actually made good on their threat to take their ball and go home.

From a mud caked Hello Kitty diary found by a stream:

New Galt Gulch – Day One!!!

Well we have done it; just like Ms. Rand suggested we have left behind all the penalties that are being imposed on the creative people by the heinous Obama administration. They want to have their Socialist paradise, well let them! Let’s see how they like it when their society falls apart!

Here in NGG we are sure that we are just the first of those that will drop out and make our own new way of living. Diary, you can not believe who is with us here! We have Michelle Malkin and her hubby, former Gov. Halley Barber, and best of all Rush Limbaugh!!! He really is as big in real life as he looks on TV.

The Hutaree Militia and the Foiled Fantasy of a “Citizen’s Uprising”

By: Monday March 29, 2010 8:23 pm

Anyone who thinks I am off course on the topic of right-wing extremism should consider the latest incident that was reported on the evening news. Over the weekend the FBI arrested nine members of the Hutaree Militia, located in southern Michigan, when the agency uncovered their plot to kill a policeman and then bomb his funeral so as to create the mass killing of his fellow officers. The leader of this group, David Brian Stone, believed that this act would trigger a nationwide revolt against the Federal Government by thousands of “aggrieved citizens”. Stone’s ex-wife said that his life had “spiraled out of control” and that he believed that this despicable act was part of some preordained plan to “defend the world against the anti-Christ.”

Barack Obama, Islamic Radicalism and the Issue of America’s Vulnerability

By: Saturday October 17, 2009 7:56 pm

Try as they will, Conservatives have not really been able to make a good argument that Obama, by moving away from the failed foreign policies of the Bush Administration, has in reality made America less safe. Instead they have responded with a series of knee jerk reactions aimed at the obstruction and rejection of anything and everything that Obama has either done or proposed.

Weekly Immigration Wire: Swine Flu Infecting Immigration Debate

By: Thursday April 30, 2009 8:58 am

At play today in our immigration debate are warring philosophies of who a “people” are and what we owe each other for simply belonging to the same human family. On one side, frothing, fearful punditry stoke division and hostility. And on the other, fearless and brave activists champion for our better natures. It is no small battle.
