Conservatives Outnumber Liberals 3-1: If you follow polling data, you know that year in and year out, self-described conservatives outnumber self-described liberals in the general population by 1 1/2 to 2 to 1. Yesterday’s Rasmussen Reports adds another useful way to look at the data as they relate to likely voters as opposed to all adults… Rasmussen found that 29% of likely voters are conservative on both sets of issues, while only 10% are liberal on both. Those numbers, especially given that they apply to likely voters, would seem to have great political significance.
Romney Adviser Backs Obama Health Exchanges: Former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, a top supporter and adviser of Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney, strenuously backed the core piece of President Barack Obama’s health-care law and urged the states to move forward together in adopting health insurance exchanges. [Romney will be a disaster, another Scot Brown, worse than most RINOs! – JS]
No Freedom Fries for Fatty: By now, you likely have heard of Dr. David Ludwig, Harvard professor and child obesity specialist at Children’s Hospital in Boston. He and attorney and research partner Lindsey Murtagh authored a piece in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggesting that severely obese children might require the government to remove them from custody of their parents…If this doesn’t convince you that liberals support a nanny state, nothing will. [Arugala anyone? – JS]
CountryTea party to GOP: We could make 'examples' of you over debt ceiling: What they're saying around the country is, "Do not raise the debt ceiling. It's that simple. It's time for Congress to get its fiscal house in order," Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin told CNN. The group is the nation's largest tea party organization. [Examples? How about road kill? – JS]
Destroy a liberal's argument by exposing the underlying rhetorical cheat. . Argumentum ad hominem. "Ad homs"—as they're colloquially known—are one of Johnny Libtard's favorite debating weapons, as in Michael Moore's rant: "I would like to apologize for referring to George W. Bush as a deserter. What I meant to say is that George W. Bush is a deserter, an election thief, a drunk driver, a WMD liar, and a functional illiterate. And he poops his pants." Liberals like ad homs because, unlike you, they have neither logic nor facts on their side and must therefore resort to personal insults which are the last refuge of a scoundrel. Explain this to a liberal friend—and then call him a stupid libtard. When he accuses you of using argumentum ad hominemsay: "Hey, I never said ad homs weren't allowed. All I said was that it's kind of tragic when you're so desperate that they're pretty much the only rhetorical weapon you've got."
John Eldredge at ransomedheart.com: Again and again and again, Jesus takes people back to their desires. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you" (Matt. 7:7). These are outrageous words, provocative words. Ask, seek, knock-these words invite and arouse desire. What is it that you want? They fall on deaf ears if there is nothing you want, nothing you're looking for, nothing you're hungry enough to bang on a door over.
