1. The Horserace for August 12, 2011

This is a special edition of the horserace, the day before Ames and the RedState Gathering.Last night in Iowa, the Republicans debated. It was like the Island of Misfit Toys. Mitt Romney won the debate if only because Ames is apparently not big enough for two Minnesotans. The barbs between Bachmann and Pawlenty did them no favors.Ron Paul embarrassed himself without even knowing it. The debate was a spectacle to behold.And then there is Rick Perry. He wasn’t on stage, but he certainly had to be in the minds of the candidates. Jon Huntsman alone proved himself . . . well . . .

Therefore, a certain propaganda subtlety is required.Salon Magazine, noted for its staff of disingenuous Leftist twits, has found another one in Justin Elliot. He shows us how the oblique accusation of racial bigotry will be steadily executed against Rick Perry in the paragraph below.Please click here for the rest of the post.

3. Striking Union Extremists Imprison Verizon Replacement Workers In Pennsylvania

In their increasingly militant strike against their employer, Verizon, union strikers have quickly bridged the gap between exercising their rights to criminal activity.While wide-spread incidents of line-cutting and other forms of sabotage may be defined as ‘property damage,’ possible child endangerment and unlawful restraint or false imprisonment. Yesterday, in another example of union extremism, union militants in Pennsylvania used locks and chains to trap Verizon managers and replacement workers in a building.Please click here for the rest of the post.
