A world without political opposition.
It’s always ultimately the way of “progressives.” After all, what sane person would oppose “progress”? They can’t be allowed to stand athwart history.

It’s Not Just The Law Schools
Too many students chasing too few jobs. Any other industry that was so deceptive and manupulative, and offered such a poor value for the money, would be excoriated by the media, if not subject to actual civil and criminal lawsuits.
Electronic Medical Records
So far, so bad. And Ezra Klein, to the surprise of no one intelligent, comes off as a fool.
Gun Clubs At Schools
As Glenn notes, this is about oikophobia, even though it’s as, or more, important for kids to learn about the proper use and handling of guns as it is for them to learn to drive, particularly considering that the former is a fundamental constitutional right. As Glenn notes, this insane “gun-free zone” and “zero tolerance” policies have been a horrific failure.
I wonder if drum and bugle corps still carry the wooden rifles, as they did when I was in high school? Or is that too “terroristic“? More and more, it seems like sending your kids to a public school constitutes parental malpractice.

Why are anti-gun activists so violent? as Glenn says, maybe the people we need to keep guns away from are elected Democrats.

Related: the loving, tolerant Left:
Over the last few years, I’ve heard the left talk about how hateful conservatives can be. Being a libertarian, there have been plenty of occasions where I disagreed with conservatives in discussions on social issues, but I’ve never at any moment gotten to the point where they were berating me or wishing harm upon me.
Needless to say, I’m strongly considering sending this one to the police since the e-mail address, which I’ve left off the post, is from a legitimate account.
They don’t want us to have guns because they project and think that we’re as violent and deranged as they are.
Hot Women
…cause global warming?
Hey, it makes about as much sense, correlation-wise, as the “scientific” theories.
Piers Morgan
For all the talk of the decline of the British Empire, even the most red-blooded American has to admit that somehow, they managed to relieve themselves (dare I say excrete?) the creature from their brave little island, and we seem to be stuck with it.
If I were the Obama administration, I would blame this (as on all else, now four years since the end of his disastrous dictatorial reign) on George W. Bush, but sanity and honest compels me to lay it at the foot of the cable news network formerly, and currently known as the Cable News Network. Which is one of the many reasons that I (and judging by the ratings, many others) find it less than indispensable.
McCain’s Middle East Madness
Comparing and contrasting the “sensible” senator versus the “extremist crazy” Michele Bachmann.

Chuck Hagel’s historical delusions.
What an awful pick for SecDef. He’s unqualified on every level.
Outrage Over Overzealous Federal Prosecutors
Can it outlast the Swartz case?
It should. As he points out, it’s not like it’s anything new. It’s all part of the growth of Leviathan and a tyrannical state, and it needs to be trimmed way back.
Also, be sure to read Radley Balko’s piece on abuse of federal power.
The NRA
…is more popular, and less unpopular, than Barack Obama.

The president’s nonsensical gun proposals. Either he’s profoundly ignorant, or he thinks we are.
Being “Socially Liberal”
…is not being libertarian. And as he points out, no one who supports Barack Obama and the Democrats in the budget fight can credibly claim to be a “fiscally conservative.”
