Always blaming the jooos….

Capitalism tends to open society, socialism to close it. There is no reason to wonder why those who lust for power are drawn to the left; or why the left has been consistently “chic” among the intellectuals, continuously for much more than a century. Socialism may impoverish and enslave, but it is the means by which the intellectual can hope to become the enslaver: through the creation of bureaucracies to advance and perpetuate fashionable progressive agendas.

How Governments Can Avoid Greek-Style Meltdowns – the leader of Alberta’s Wildrose Alliance Party will be in Regina on November 23.

“Obama Gets It Wrong on Israel, and Canada’s Harper Gets It Right”

At Right Wing News.

Or “I can see Washington from my seat as a Fox News analyst”.
Make no mistake about one thing – while the mainstream now admits that Sarah Palin is a political force to be reckoned with, a 2010 mid-term election dominated by Tea Party successes would not have been possible without the fair, balanced, and uniquely honest coverage of Fox News. If any one entity emerges from this election “with more clout”, it’s Fox.
Every maintream media outlet in the nation attempted first to starve, then ridicule – and when that didn’t work – to destroy the Tea Party. Every network but Fox.
Yes, talk radio and the internet played a huge role, but despite their growing influence, radio can’t convey the images and internet can’t reach that still largely passive portion of the political audience in the way that television can.
This was Sarah Palin’s night, but it was just as much Glenn Beck’s, Sean Hannity’s, and Bill O’Reilly’s – along with the news reporters and editors who chose to report on Tea Party rallies across the nation, to allow American conservatives see themselves, and for themselves, that they were not in the minority.
They were never in the minority.

Different strokes for different volk/folk:

An original SDA “regular” is running for a seat on city council in Woodstock, On. The civic election is Oct.25th, and let’s just say his opponents are damned lucky the seat isn’t decided by internet poll.
But the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy doesn’t end there!

The Republicans were warned. Now, they’re being retired. (link fixed)

“That’s the Establishment’s worst nightmare: Irrelevance.”

Plus – Bill Buckley’s magazine gets letters.

Maybe it is because of the circles you run in, but I don’t think you understand how angry people are in the country. It was an absolute insult to Republican voters to take someone as awful as Castle and expect the rank and file to vote for him just so Jim DeMint can be majority leader. Republican voters played that game in the 00s. And swallowed their principles and voted for lousy candidates in the name of keeping Democrats out. Well no more. That is the fallout of the 00s. Yeah, people want to get rid of the Democrats. But they are not going to do it if doing so means putting the same garbage that gave us Abramoff and the rest of the 04-06 Congress. And if that offends the delicate sensibilities of NRO and the Republican pundit establishment, well sometimes life is like that. And you better get used to it. Because the days of people like Castle winning in this party are over.

If only there were some sort of technology that could carry political developments in the US to our own Conservative Party headquarters.

Contrast this…

… to the message about Palin we’ve been getting the rest of the week, especially from that scathing Vanity Fair profile, and it’s starting to become increasingly difficult as we approach November to tell apart the real Palin from the smear campaigns, or the real Palin from the propaganda. But it also means the entertainment value of all three are increasingly exponentially, and if Palin continues to crank out apolitical and light-hearted moments like this one, she’ll only make it harder for those on the left to continue to find her irritating and noxious.

A poll at Cnews. (On the left of the home page, about a third of the way down.)
Update: Something’s gone horribly wrong. One hour since posting, the poll has moved from a 6 point lead for “no”, into a dead heat.
Update2: Now 4 hours into the poll, the “yes” side has drawn into a 10 point lead. Curious and curiouser….
