Yeah, when you can’t even get details on key figures right, then it’s hard to take you seriously.

Senator Paul Ryan?

I received this message in my inbox a few minutes ago. I immediately noticed a big mistake.

Friend — This ticks me off. Opponents of Obamacare in Congress are reaching new levels of disgrace — all to save face after realizing that repeal isn’t so popular, after all. On Tuesday, Senator Paul Ryan said this: “We’re not hatching some bill in a back room and plopping it on the American people’s front door.” –House Speaker Paul Ryan on NBC’s “Today” show

Now, on the face of it, what’s the big deal? So what if Paul Ryan is the Speaker of the House and not a senator?

But such errors portend on bigger, more crucial matters. Such mistakes warn me of a great many things, including:

1. a lack of professionalism.
2. not taking the time to look for errors.
3. a seriously partisan lack of collegiality.
4. how dangerous and excessively political leftist activists have become.

How about we do some proofreading next time?

Makes ya wonder, mistakes or not, what is in the Obamacare bill, the Affordable Care Act. Of course, I, like so many of us, including many of our politician friends, have not taken the time to read the damn thing. It is thousands of pages! And a bore, no doubt.

Nancy Pelosi infamously said that the legislation need to pass before anyone outside the bureaucracy could know what was in it. Sadly, she’s probably still clueless on it, like everything else. Someone should ask her if she’s ever read it. Reporters, if they actually did their jobs properly, would have already done it.

Taking Advantage

Of a Homeless Woman

They claimed to care. They didn’t. They had an agenda — an unholy, abominable one. To legalize a lucrative, but lurid business — the abortionist trade.

“At that time, I was a street person. I lived, worked, and panhandled out on the streets. My totally powerless circumstance made it easy for them to use me. My presence was a necessary evil. My real interests were not their concern.” — Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court case in which a majority of the justices declared a right to kill the unborn.

Her real name? Norma McCorvey. And she spent years trying to undo what had been declared in her interest. She died on Saturday.

This quote makes me refocus on Margaret Sanger, the founding of Planned Parenthood, and the eugenics movement. It’s so creepy and stealthy, the effort to eliminate the poor by killing them off before they’re even born.

Their using her like this reminds of rape and rapists. It is no different.

I actually agree with Piers Morgan on something? What?!

I agree with most, if not all, of what Piers Morgan said when talking with Tucker Carlson on Fox News yesterday.

There’s nothing quite like indoctrinating young kids & at school no less.

The indoctrination of kids is a time honored tradition. From the Soviets and the Nazis to Islamic State, it’s proved very popular through the ages. Schools, particularly the public ones, are often where it takes place. Leftist activists aren’t doing these children any favors with the victimization propaganda of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Lotsa Hot Air

I opened up a paper copy of the latest Seattle Weekly this morning and discovered an editorial chastising many of the local global warming fanatics, confronting their often over-the-top zealotry.

. . . a close examination . . . suggests that these activists have come to expect an ideological purity with something close to religious fervor—a posture that will have no place in any real attempts to find a path forward to a more climate-friendly future.

I wasn’t expecting to see this. It was refreshing. Radical leftists aren’t challenged much these days, especially by their own brethren.

Of course, we climate change skeptics — or, as some label us, “deniers” — have been pointing this out for years.

The print edition has a great headline for the editorial, too.

Hot Air From the Climate Movement

This is coming from a left-wing tabloid! Seattle Weekly isn’t as rabid as The Stranger, but sometimes it reads that way.

There’s definitely been a coarsening of the language. Writers more and more are swearing and writing about subjects that used to be taboo, and in many cases, still should be.

What Would Have Happened To Disruptive protesters At Obama Campaign Rallies?

Chicago thug culture rises yet again.

Imagine, just imagine, if similar protests had disrupted Obama campaign rallies.

What’s the murder rate in Chicago these days, anyway?

Stay classy, protesters.
