Glenn Beck vs. ’social justice’
Glenn Beck recently said good Christians should walk away from any church that says it favors “social justice.”
Several Christian ministers now say good Christians should think about walking away from Glenn Beck.
You might know “social justice” to be a term many Christian churches use to describe their efforts to address poverty and human rights. [...]
Liz Cheney: Keeping America scared
Elizabeth Cheney claims that her group’s notorious web-ad attack against nine Department of Justice lawyers “does not question anybody’s loyalties.” Maybe not directly, anyway. But it comes close enough to leave skid marks.
Take a look at the ad, above, by Keep America Safe, a group Liz Cheney co-chairs with Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol mainly [...]

Joe the Plumber feels SO used
((Wednesday UPDATE: In Fox News interview, above, Joe the Plumber elaborates on his weekend remarks that I talk about below. — CP))
Remember Joe the Plumber at all those rallies for Republican Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign? Remember how it turned out that Sam Wurzelbacher of Ohio wasn’t really named “Joe” and he wasn’t really a [...]
Tea party crack pot
Some people still can't believe that Americans of sound mind elected Barack Obama president.
Former Republican presidential candidateTom Tancredo has it figured out: We the voters are just too stupid, too ill-informed to make good choices.
That's pretty much what the former Colorado congressman told the first National Tea Party Convention in Nashville this weekend, where he lathered [...]
Obama v. GOP on weekly TV?
Last week's give-and-take between President Obama and House Republicans was a big hit and not just for political junkies.
It was such a big hit that it has inspired a movement to make Q-and-A’s between the president and Congress a regular event.
Sound familiar? Yup, political couch potatoes of an Anglophile bent will detect similarities to [...]
A tea party crackup?
“When people are ripe for a mass movement,” wrote Eric Hoffer in The True Believer, “they are usually ripe for any effective movement, and not solely for one with a particular doctrine or program.”The angry, populist and conspicuously disorganized tea party movement is experiencing Hoffer’s prophetic words.

Beck v. Brown? Weirdness on the right

"Just kidding," he assured us while his daughters gasped and wife fumed.
Speaking as a fellow father, I know it is the duty of parents to embarrass their children, just as [...]
Help Haiti yes, web scams no
Maybe if enough of us phone text Wyclef Jean, he'll pull the Fugees back together for a reunion concert and raise millions more to help Haiti.
Texting YELE to 501501 automatically sends $5 to the Haitian-born, politically conscious soul-hiphop star's Yele Foundation's fund for earthquake victims. Or you can go directly to the Yele Earthquake Relief [...]
What ‘Negro’ problem?
What’s the big deal with Harry Reid’s comments about Obama?
President Obama says “the book is closed” on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s newly disclosed problematic praise of Obama in 2008. But Republican Chairman Michael Steele and a host of conservative pundits are not about to let it go.
“He said what? Harry and the Negro” [...]
