The Forgotten Casualties of The American Left’s Class War
This post originally appeared at Newsreal Blog
We often take the class warfare rhetoric of the Left for granted these days, inured to its wickedness by its ubiquity in the media and academia. For most on the Right the class and race warfare rhetoric espoused by leftists is simply another point to debate and an easy explanation for leftist political stances and social mores. But this ideology of hatred does more than affect tax policy, it costs lives. America’s streets run red with the blood of the innocent cut down by the foot soldiers of the secret war America’s Left has initiated.
Clay Duke, the man who opened fire on a Florida school board, was one such foot soldier. But he was also a victim.

Gold, Financial Illiteracy, and Amanda Marcotte
Originally published at Newsreal Blog
About a week ago Amanda Marcotte wrote a rambling screed against people who want to go back to the gold standard. It consisted largely of different variations on the pejorative “teabagger” and some references to the Bible that tell us more about Marcotte than anything else. She seems to conflate people who want to get back on the gold standard with the so-called “gold bugs” who recommend investing in gold, and bizarrely claims that gold values are really based on people’s nostalgia and “sadism” which I’m pretty sure Amanda thinks means disagreeing with her.
Her theory on the idiocy of gold can be gleaned by wading through this passage of what she passes off as writing: Continue reading
