Thom Hartmann: 'Should We Reoccupy the South with Union Forces?'
Among the traits that liberals share is a committed aversion to deploying US military power abroad, unless of course a Democrat is president and he's mired in scandal.
Which makes it all the more odd to hear liberal radio host Thom Hartmann suggest it might be time to send American troops -- to the South.

WashPost Hails Women's Clothes on Men: 'The End of Gender Is Near'
Friday’s Washington Post hyped a new trend in fashion on the front of the Style section. The headline was “His. Hers. Theirs. Whoever’s. In an increasingly genderless fashion industry, if the blouse fits, wear it.”

Slate Writer: Gay Marriage Part of ‘Lifestyle Conservatism’
Saletan approves of “lifestyle conservatism,” but when it comes to defining that term, your mileage may vary, given that for Saletan it includes support for same-sex marriage. In a Thursday piece, Saletan asserted that conservatives ought to accept that two-person marriages, whether hetero- or homosexual, fit into the “tradition” and “enduring institution” of matrimony.
“Republicans are right to…

Dogfight: WashPost Google-Mocks All the GOP Candidates, No Democrats
Jeff Guo of The Washington Post began his article correctly: “Stop. This will be the most horrifying and pointless thing you read today.” One hot trend on Google now is called “DeepDream,” to enhance and visualize all the strange associations that artificial-intelligence programs are making.
MRC’s Dan Gainor pointed out that the Post proved it’s a Democratic rag by taking this strange “stoner”…

Tom Brokaw Won’t Talk Brian Williams: ‘It’s Time to Move On’
Former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw is treated with great deference inside the Peacock Network, as if he were the Cronkite of his generation. So when he was seen as the King of the Old Guard that felt Brian Williams was ruining the brand with his egotistical inventions of dangerous exploits, he was seen as the secret iron fist that felled the new star.
In an interview with Lloyd Grove of the Daily…

Bozell & Graham Column: Unasked Questions in the LGBT Wars
For decades now, the liberal “news” media have demonstrated a dramatic tilt toward the gay agenda, beginning with their notion that there is no such thing as a “gay agenda.” But now as the Supreme Court mandated gay “marriage” on all 50 states the liberal world is celebrating the agenda it has been pushing for decades.
Television coverage has been the usual appalling agitprop, but in this case…

Salon: Evangelical Promotion of Virginity Has 'Nothing to Do With Sex'
Salon.com enlightens America that when evangelicals scare teenagers into keeping their virginity, it has nothing to do with sex. It's about allowing the Christian right to maintain their grip on political power. They have a knack of tying every conservative or Christian movement back to white men and anti-communism -- even though sexual purity of the young is a cause that transcends racial and…

At AP, Too-Convenient Mislabeling Hides Steep Wholesale Sales Decline
Martin Crutsinger has been a business and economics writer at the Associated Press for over three decades. Certain people in high places apparently hold him in high regard. In early 2014, on his 30th anniversary with the wire service, he is said to have received congratulatory letters from soon-to-be Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, soon-to-be-former chair Ben Bernanke and Obama administration…

Nets Too Busy Hyping Parade to Notice Obama Admin. Defying Court
On Friday, ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts all ignored how the Obama administration issued the latest version of its abortifacient/contraception mandate under ObamaCare, which ignores multiple court rulings against it – including the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling in 2014 – and again tries to force religious non-profits to fund drugs that they consider to be immoral. Instead, the Big…

Ted Cruz Team: 'New York Times Is Lying' About His Book Sales
While liberals bray about how Donald Trump’s brand is unraveling, the phrase “New York Times best-seller” ought to be the unraveling brand. Dylan Byers at Politico reports the Ted Cruz campaign and Harper Collins are challenging the strange denial of best-seller status for the new Cruz campaign book A Time for Truth.
The point here is when you have a "Best Sellers list" many apparently silly…

AP Blames Congress, Not Obama, For OPM Data Breach
Of all the media memes ever attempted, the one blaming Republicans for the fact that now-resigned Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Aruchleta was confirmed is high on the list of the most ridiculous ever. A reasonably close runnerup is the idea that Congress failed "to adequately fund OPM."
Matt Balan at NewsBusters covered CNN's ridiculous tweeted claim that "Republicans…

Politico Op-Ed: America Would Be 'Less Violent' Without The South
