TUESDAY HOT VIEW: IT'S NOT JUST PEGGY

Why aren’t businesses hiring?

Why aren’t businesses hiring? Washington Examiner
"Then a simple final paragraph, which could have come from a Wall Street Journal or Washington Examiner editorial:
“Uncertainty: there has been a tremendous amount of change over the last 12 months. Businesses are still trying to figure out what that means for their own bottom line. Until there are firm answers, they will freeze hiring.”

Hmmm.
What kind of change over the last 12 months?
Who’s been producing that change?
Stewart doesn’t say, but it’s not too hard to figure out.
This is as pungent and concise an indictment of the Obama Democrats’ vast expansion of the size and reach of government as I’ve seen anywhere."

Malveaux Hates Fourth of July - Reminds Her of Slavery and Economic Inequality

Malveaux Hates Fourth of July - Reminds Her of Slavery and Economic Inequality NewsBusters.org
"If you were African-American living in the era of President Barack Obama, would you hate the Fourth of July because it reminded you of slavery and economic inequality?

You would if your name was Julianne Malveaux and you were the syndicated columnist that also serves as the president of Bennett College, the historically black women's school in Greensboro, North Carolina."

Muskegon Bike Time

Muskegon Bike Time
"Muskegon, Michigan will once again host what is dubbed as 'America's fastest growing bike event!'

For three days , the largest city on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan will be host to the 4th Annual Muskegon Bike Time, the ultimate Steel Horse Nationals."

With the US trapped in depression, this really is starting to feel like 1932

"The US workforce shrank by 652,000 in June, one of the sharpest contractions ever.
The rate of hourly earnings fell 0.1pc. Wages are flirting with deflation."

This is "hope"?

It certainly is change......

Had Enough Therapy?: The Hotness Gap

Had Enough Therapy?: The Hotness Gap
"You have to wonder why Baird is so thoroughly out of sorts about hotness gap between Republican and Democratic women, or better, between conservative women and feminists.

Why is she so worried that leftist men are now fantasizing about hot Republican women?

Here's a guess. Feminism and radical leftism has always tried to deal with dissent by making the dissenters into outcasts and pariahs.
If you disagree with the basic dogmas of feminist ideology you will, in many communities, be shunned from polite society."

There are many places in this country where men hesitate to admit that they are Republicans because they will not just lose friends, but they will lose dating opportunities.

Many women openly brag that they will not date Republicans; often they will not even talk with them.

Say something nice about Sarah Palin in many communities and you will immediately be labeled as deranged.

I do not even want to think about what it is going to do to your sex life.

If all women are feminists, then this strategy can work.
But if the most attractive women are Republicans, then it will start breaking down.
If a man had to choose between a fantasy date with Nikki Haley or one with Elena Kagan, which would he choose?
If he had to choose between being married to Sarah Palin or being married to Hillary Clinton, who would he prefer?

Ken Schram: Gregoire's incredible arrogance KOMO News - Breaking News, Sports, Traffic and Weather - Seattle, Washington Ken Schram
"I don't know why every news organization in the Puget Sound isn't outraged.

Democrat or Republican, I don't know why every news consumer in Puget Sound isn't outraged.

Channel 5 Investigative Reporter Susannah Frame put together a series of stories detailing how the Washington state ferry system is wasting millions and millions of taxpayer dollars."

If Gregoire was a republican would the liberal Washington media be so....compliant?

Progressive Mag Editor Hates Fourth of July: Patriotism Leads to Fascism

Progressive Mag Editor Hates Fourth of July: Patriotism Leads to Fascism NewsBusters.org
"As amazing as it might seem, the 27-year-old Matthew Rothschild was just getting warmed up (h/t Weasel Zippers):

You can call me unpatriotic if you'd like, but really I'm anti-patriotic.
I've been studying fascism lately, and there is one inescapable fact about it:
Nationalism is the egg that hatches fascism.
And patriotism is but the father of nationalism.
Patriotism is not something to play with. It's highly toxic. When ingested, it corrodes the rational faculties. [...]
Plus, it's a war toy, wheeled out whenever a leader needs to improve his ratings by attacking some other country-often after invoking God's name, too. [...]
But as for me, between God, country, and apple pie, I'll take the apple pie."
