Getting ready to watch end of season 1 of Game of Thrones. Love Sean Bean, he’s going to be an excellent star of this show for many years.

Many people say they’re Democrats, but Steven Crowder found that when you ask them about specific solutions to the fiscal cliff, many people are actually Republicans:

That Piers Morgan is kind of an ignorant blowhard. You don’t notice it right away because of the English accent, but deep down he’s just a more refined version of Chris Matthews. This came out a while ago when he had Jonah Goldberg on and was a complete blockhead — it was like Jonah was talking to a cement block or a Chris Matthews. And then look at this exchange about gun control. He just laughs off Kopel pointing out there is no correlation in America between increase in gun ownership and an increase in violence because he doesn’t want to believe that. But the most striking part is how he claims to have a respect for the 2nd Amendment and then says he’d want to take away everyone’s guns but understands that’s just not possible so other solutions must be found. That makes me think of someone saying, “I really respect the fight against racism. Still, if I could have my way, I think black people and other races would be better off all back in their own countries. But since that’s not realistic, I guess we’ll learn to live together.” That’s not the statement of someone who really gets it.

So Ross Douthat wrote an editorial about the declining birthrate and all the problems associated with it. This, of course, would require more women having babies, and there is nothing more offensive to modern feminists than women having babies. So a lot of screaming has ensued such as this piece in The Nation going on about how horrible and misogynistic Douthat is… but not refuting the idea that we’re pretty screwed when we have a population mainly of seniors with few young people to work and support them. I notice this is actually a common tactic of the left: Get really, really angry and then think that somehow negates obvious truths.

We see this with the spending debates where when we say we can’t afford all our spending and cuts have to be made, so they scream about how these cuts will hurt people… yet none of this refutes the fact that WE. CAN’T. AFFORD. IT.

And that’s who the left is really angry at: Reality. It’s the one that says women have to have babies. It’s the one that made math and imposes it on budgets. But no matter how much you scream, reality is never bullied.

I’m sure you saw the photo of the cop giving the bum a brand new $100 pair of boots that went viral and made everyone feel sorry for bums for a few days. And, you may have seen the link on Drudge today where the bum immediately sold the boots… umm, I mean, stored them somewhere for safe keeping.

But, the line that stands out is this one… stated by the bum who was the beneficiary of a good man spending $100 of his own hard-earned money to buy him a new pair of boots: “I was put on YouTube, I was put on everything without permission. What do I get?” he said. “This went around the world, and I want a piece of the pie.”

Ironically, read the name of the link the NY Times assigned to this story:
