The typical liberal reaction to anything or anyone which challenges their worldview is to attack the heretic as a racist or an ablest or a misogynist or a xenophobe. Using politically incorrect language is an unpardonable sin, whereas actually doing harm to others is frequently ignored. The most telling example of this bizarre behavior can…
Jesse Jackson once confided to me that he had more respect for an ignorant racist redneck than he had for a limousine liberal pandering for his endorsement or his vote. Jesse Jackson met with George Wallace in 1984. I was there. Wallace was my mentor and friend. And he was apologizing to Jackson for the…
Liberal critics of Donald Trump do not let pesky things like the Constitution get in the way of generating hysterical propaganda. Ever since Donald Trump’s call to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country, the establishment and most on the political left have been excoriating Trump as a racist and a xenophobe. Most of his…
As a liberal, I am embarrassed at how stupid many of my fellow liberals can be. We mock rednecks and right wingnuts for their lack of critical thinking, but many of us are actually even more guilty of leaving our minds with the hat check girl if someone yells “racist” or some equally politically correct…

Why political bribery is legal is much easier to understand than how it works. The short of it is that state legislatures and the US Congress write the laws. They have made it illegal to bribe government officials so long as those government officials are not elected. Elected government officials cannot be bribed if the…

Most animal activists are aware that we have little in common with conservatives. Philosophically, animal protection and animal rights are anathema to the right. Both require the exercise of government power and restrictions on individual freedom to exploit or harm animals. There are no liberal Republicans, so most find ourselves casting our lot with…
I do not know of a single one. There are quite a few animal activists who are inexplicably conservatives. I haven’t a clue why they are. Perhaps they don’t like to pay taxes or don’t like Black people, or they care more about abortion than they do about animals. No idea. Maybe they like their…
