“If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object; but if we break into squads, everyone pursuing the path he thinks most direct, we become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check.” Thomas Jefferson letter to William Duane — 1811 I Didn’t …
I publish this as April 15th has only a couple of hours left. I know that in most people’s minds, this date marks the third anniversary of what has come to be known as the tea party movement. I know why people think that, of course. The majority of people first heard about modern day… more
Thursday’s post, “Tea Party” People: See Anything Wrong With This Email?, has attracted a LOT of traffic, but only one comment so far. In our opinion, however, that comment and our response to it merit more attention from our readers than it’s likely to get if it’s just appended to the original article. For [...]

When something has feathers, a bill, waddles, and quacks...you'd think it would be difficult to deny...it's a duck! But there's a lot of denial going around these days, in fact it seems practically epidemic. Despite any and all evidence presented, people do not want to believe what's staring them right in the face.
