The right’s seeming hypocrisy on the size and reach of government isn’t hypocrisy at all. Here’s what it reveals — If you listen to conservatives tell it, you would think that the political right believes in smaller government, less regulation, and maximum personal liberty, while liberals and the left support big government, and substantial interventions by the state, even at the expense of individual freedom.

From the GOP base to celebri-goons like Jake Paul, we are a nation that loves money more than the Constitution — There’s a reason why so many Americans love Donald Trump. I mean, besides the part about how he taps into their racial anxieties and resentments or speaks to their desire for old-school rapey masculinity. Namely, they love him because his ostentatious flaunting of the trappings of wealth — his branded…

If your “freedom” costs the lives of school children, you’re paying too much. It’s time to defeat gun culture and its defenders — If those 19 kids gunned down in Uvalde had been in an amniotic sac rather than a classroom, perhaps Texas lawmakers would have done something to keep them safe. But they were in fourth grade, having long since left their mothers’ wombs, so the rights of an 18-year-old to buy…

If you’re willing to quit rather than be censored, you should be willing to speak the truth and get fired — It’s bad enough that lawmakers are trying to restrict discussions about racism in schools, with dozens of states passing or looking to pass laws limiting curriculum that addresses systemic racial injustice in America. Especially at a time when racist violence is on the rise, including overt terrorism the likes of…

Why can’t some people just condemn racism without a comma or a caveat? — Maybe it’s just too difficult for them. Too difficult for MAGA-nation to simply condemn white supremacy and the Great Replacement Theory that has animated multiple terrorist attacks, including the latest in Buffalo, and leave it at that. Too difficult to just say that these things are unacceptable and that anyone…

The left doesn’t cheer demographic replacement of white people — just a decline in unchecked white power. There’s a difference. — First, a little backstory before I get to the Ann Coulter part. The day after the Republicans made massive gains in the 2010 mid-term elections, I penned an essay taunting older white conservatives — those most responsible for the night’s results. You know, the Tea Party types.

Looking at you, Tucker Carlson. Violence is the inevitable result of such thinking and its mouthpieces should be held accountable — Approximately 400 times. That’s how often FOX host Tucker Carlson has promoted the so-called “Great Replacement” theory or some critical portion of it. It’s the theory that says political elites are deliberately flooding the borders of white countries — in this case, the United States — with non-white immigrants to…

And anyone who denies this hasn’t thought it through — When I was a renter, I had a decidedly mixed experience with landlords. Some were excellent. Some, however, were awful, regularly failing to fix heating or AC units when they went out. Perhaps you’ve experienced something similar or worse? Now imagine you had, and suppose you were to tell me…

Sorry, but it’s not even a close call — Perhaps my title here strikes you as harsh and the subtitle as mere hyperbole. But they are neither. And if you think about it logically, you’ll know that I’m right. A brief story will illustrate the point. My wife and I have two daughters, both of whom are adults now. …
