“Tax Cuts They Don’t Need”
That was a phrase that Jack Lew used this morning on This Week. Ignoring the ongoing lack of distinction between “tax cuts” and “tax-rate cuts,” any use of the word “need” in federal policy betrays an intrinsically Marxist mindset. It indicates that benefits of the collective should be distributed based on need, rather than merit, economics, or constitutionality. Tax rates should be chosen to maximize revenue, not redistribute wealth, or on the basis of some government official’s opinion of what someone else “needs.” This should be pointed out each and every time it occurs, but of course George Stephanopolous isn’t going to do it.

One Funeral At A Time

For the record, I’m not a “denier,” I’m a skeptic, as are all true scientists. And I think that long before we die, society will come to its senses. It’s already started happening, when you see how low this issue is on most peoples’ agenda in the polls (close to the bottom).
The Attack On Civility
…by the people who are always piously calling for it and lying about their opponents. As he notes at the end, I’m afraid it’s going to be a very ugly summer of leftist thugs.

Yes, CAIR continues to have too many friends in too-high places, particularly in the lapdog media.
Romney’s Conservative Conversion
Philip Klein remains skeptical, even after (or perhaps because of) today’s speech at CPAC. Here’s a word cloud of his speech.
