Klavan on the Culture

Daddy, where does money come from?

"If someone from the government tries to put his hands on your money... run away as fast as you can and tell the nearest conservative."

Or something like it.

That's how Bob Priddy over at MissouriNet characterizes the Missouri Democratic Party's latest assessment of Gov. Jay Nixon's chances for re-election. Apparently, someone at the MDC found an article in GOVERNING Magazine to be noteworthy.

Says Bob,

"So the senior spokesman for the Missouri Democratic Committee is circulating an article suggesting it “sometimes seems as if he…

About Last Night: Obama's Speech

Much has already been written, so here's my 2 cents:

“When your enemy is destroying himself, never interfere.” - Sun Tzu

The eloquent visionary who once claimed to slow the ocean’s rise and heal the planet is now a feckless & reckless functionary who cannot tame 500 plus congress critters. In short, Good King Barack has become irrelevant to the process.

Even Congressional Democrats are disgusted with Barack’s arrogance and condescension toward one third of… Continue

Tea Party-ism VS Neo-Marxism

Philosophy matters: Political; Religious; Economic.

And a fish rots from the head down. Let's review:

In a 2001 radio interview, Barack Obama stated that the government should provide "political and economic justice in this society," and the U.S. Constitution "reflected the… Continue

The Priggish Urban Liberal-Progressive Busybody Knowitall Pseudointellectual Snob

Mercifully, after tens years of finger wagging, "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" aired its final episode last Sunday. I've seen a few episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent over the years, but could never put my finger on why this formulaic, thought police soap opera always made me throw up a little in my mouth.

That is, until S.T. Karnick over at Big Hollywood… Continue

A Fourth of July Article

by David Barton; An excerpt:

"John Adams believed that the Fourth of July should become a religious holiday – a day when we remembered God's hand in deliverance and a day of religious activities when we committed ourselves to Him in “solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” Such was the spirit of the American Revolution as seen through the eyes of those who led it, evidenced even further in the words of…

"The panel will be responsible for providing recommendations to the president on investment in rural areas, as well as coordinating with a variety of rural interests, including agricultural groups, small businesses, and state, local and tribal governments.…

Wichita Eagle Editorial Blog Bemoans New Kansas Voter ID Law

Their post is titled "Tough luck if you want to vote in Kansas," impying the draconians have disenfranchised any and all from the voting booth. What a bunch o crap. Kansas' new law simply states that a birth certificate is required to register and a photo ID is required to vote - provided at tax payer expense, if you're indigent.

The Wichita Eagle blog references a… Continue

The President's deficit 'reduction' speech

I tried to listen. Truly I did.

But half way through I could not listen to his neo-bolshevik, revisionist hyperbole that just droned on and on.

It's like this guy believes he's totally removed from the massive tripling of the deficit he's cultivated while in office, and that he just… Continue

Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder(R) Bills Tax Payers for 'Official' Travel Expenses

That might as well be the headline for this Post-Dispatch story. In essence, the PD expends 2,650 words to indirectly tell us that Sen. McCaskill's (D-MO) crap still stinks way worse than Kinder's.

"Since 2006, Kinder has billed the state for an average of more than two months per year at hotels in the St. Louis area.

Even with a discounted government…

Is Obama Sr. Really Junior's Daddy?

Shame and embarrassment might be the sole reason for Obama's million dollar secret.

I like Donald Trump. He's good entertainment. I wouldn't vote for him as President, but he is a man who likes to poke alligators with sticks. This particular alligator is named 'birther.' It's getting long in the tooth, and ain't very productive, but it's still worth a bag of popcorn.

Yesterday on MSNBC, Mr. Trump announced that he's… Continue
