Just off the top of my head:<br /><br />1) http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/12/ted_cruz_was_right_again.html<br />> There was never, after all, a reason to rush an all-encompassing bill funding the federal government before appropriations ran out on Dec. 11. Instead of giving Obama virtually everything he wanted despite his party's historic drubbing at the polls last month, lawmakers could easily have drafted a stopgap spending bill to carry them over to January, when Republicans will control both chambers of Congress and have greater bargaining power in negotiations with the president.<br />> But they didn't. After hours and days of arm-twisting, they rammed an abominable spending bill through Congress that funds Obama's Democrat voter-importation program.<br />> It was an easy vote. A gimme. <br />> But to their everlasting shame, 20 Republicans voted to reject Cruz's point of order, waive the Constitution, and green-light Obama's amnesty. <br />> These quislings are Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), John Barrasso (Wyo.), Dan Coats (Ind.), Thad Cochran (Miss.), Susan Collins (Me.), Bob Corker (Tenn.), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wisc.), Mark Kirk (Ill.), John McCain (Ariz.), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Pat Toomey (Penn.), and Roger Wicker (Miss.).<br /><br />2) http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/12/16/kirk-abandons-nra-second-amendment-joins-dems-to-confirm-anti-gun-surgeon-general/<br />> Mark Kirk Abandons NRA, Second Amendment: Joins Dems to Confirm Anti-Gun Surgeon General<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-36646529467036404332014-12-19T13:03:06.129-05:002014-12-19T13:03:06.129-05:00Leftist elitism offers an explanation for why Left...Leftist elitism offers an explanation for why Leftists do not strongly oppose totalitarian governments such as in Iran, which currently restrict most of the social goods that Leftists say they want.<br /><br />Progressives accept totalitarian regimes because of the progressive's own plan:<br />(1) Take control of government.<br />(2) Invest government with absolute power to make wise decisions.<br />(3) Guide society to peace, prosperity, and happiness.<br /><br />A totalitarian regime has already accomplished (1) and (2). That regime may be nasty and currently against all of the progressive's desires, but the progressive doesn't want to throw away that accomplishment. The progressive wants to use diplomacy and cooperation to bend the totalitarian regime to progressive ends.<br /><br />Finding a totalitarian regime in place changes the task of transformaing society into a type of grant proposal. The Leftist assumption is that our elite will convince their elite of a better way, without having to engage a large number of stupid peasants.<br /><br />EasyOpinions.blogspot.comAndrew_M_Garlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855052302054611917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-33539928292415896562014-12-19T12:39:24.204-05:002014-12-19T12:39:24.204-05:00It would be funny if a Cyber attack on Hollywood s...It would be funny if a Cyber attack on Hollywood started a war.
