Jerry Moran’s Morons

Jerry Moran, Republican Senator of Kansas, has managed to assemble the human equivalent of Mitt Romney’s Project ORCA. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is, for all intents and purposes, a beached whale waiting to explode and hurl its detritus all over America. I just did not think Moran and his team at the NRSC could be more stupid than they have already proven themselves. But, in fact, they have outdone themselves and today prove themselves the stupidest political organization in America, surpassing even Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Mitch McConnell should be so proud of Josh Holmes, who he has helping Moran at the NRSC. The latest case in point is perhaps the most eye rolling of all.

Principles for American Renewal
 
As we approach Election Day, it’s important for voters to understand not just that Republicans oppose the policies of President Obama and the Democrat Party, but also to know what unifying goals Republicans share and what policies we support.

That’s why today I’m unveiling the Principles for American Renewal, eleven core principles that unite Republicans across the country and up and down the ballot.

The Rather-ization of Neil DeGrasse Tyson

A couple of days ago we looked at the exploits of serial fabulist and pop-science impressario Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Sean Davis, writing at The Federalist, took the time to dig into the various anecdotes Tyson lards his lectures with which are designed to make him look smart and those he doesn’t like look dumb. Of particular interest was a quote that he attributed to President Bush in the aftermath of 9/11. A quote that he didn’t say, in fact, one that is jarringly out of context with everything we know about the man.

IRS Cover-Up: IG Report Exposes IRS Lying to American Public

The cover-up is stunning. “The IRS concealed information it should have released in response to an estimated 336 requests in 2013, according to the report.”

In response to a report (from the same IG’s office) detailing the IRS targeting scandal, the American public demanded to know the truth. The American people sent in numerous FOIA requests, and the IRS concealed pertinent information at least 336 times.

Lesbian sues over artificial insemination misadventure
 
I’ve written a couple of times on surrogacy, the process by which a person is hired to be carry a child on behalf of another party, and the ways it degrades the relationship between parent and child, essentially turning the child into a commodity that can be rejected if it is imperfect (here | here). The opposite side of surrogacy is artificial insemination where either the husband, or, in the case of the happy couple pictured above, an unknown third party provides the payload which is delivered to the target mechanically. This is usually accomplished in conjunction with the woman taking fertility drugs.

Unfortunately, the procedure involves people and a certain number of people, even highly educated ones, are idiots

Mark Udall is an Abortion Extremist

Perhaps the most popular Democrat political gambit for the last 25 years has been to accuse every Republican of being an extremist on abortion. Democrats have had some measure of success at this since the media basically shares their views on abortion, by and large. Even the rare media person who tilts center-right overall tends to be pro-choice. Strong pro-lifers in the media are virtually non-existent, and if they do exist, they are well-closeted.

Mother declines cancer treatment to save baby

Over the past few weeks we’ve posted on the efforts of the pro-abort movement to portray abortion, even in late term, as a difficult, yet noble, act worthy of praise but at the very least an act immune from criticism. Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis is one of the most prominent people to take this stance, using the late term abortion of her daughter, who had, according to Davis’s memoir, a fatal congenital deformity. This was followed by a deservedly obscure Scottish performance artist memorializing the child she casually slaughtered for her own convenience in “poem.”
