Try Investors Business Daily. Much better investing info, and a conservative editorial board.

If they wanted to diversify, they could have gotten someone with a different take on conservative issues than their editorial board–a libertarian, or even better, a border-security conservative. But no, they went for broke and got a class-warfare one-trick progressive pony. I’m sure the WSJ’s rich-business-guy target demographic will love this new weekly reminder of how evil they are.

One reason I went to IBD.

Rusty,
Let me flip the script on you . . How much “credit” does the NYC crowd give to the rest of the state, or the rest of the coutry, for that matter?

They think they are the center of the earth or something, yet most people in Manhattan live a third world existence. Existence is the right word for it. Cramped quarters. No yard. Always eating out. Secular. Everyone you know is a liberal and likes sushi (or pretends to like it). The kind of place that inspired John Lennon to write “Imagine”.

I loved visiting New York, but I often wonder how people live there.

mnmike, that’s one more good reason to read blogs: saving you money on things you don’t need.

Heh. Funny video. I especially enjoyed how they continually mixed up their “redneck” and “hood” dialects. Morons.

This guy won’t last. Remember the last liberal columnist at the Journal? Neither do I, but there was such an individual. I sent several emails protesting his mindless, stereotypical liberalism. Suspect the editors received several thousand similar missives a week. And then he was gone. We’ll get rid of this moonbat as well.

Yeah, the Wall Street Journal ceased to be a conservative publication when Murdoch acquired it. Can we honestly call Fox News conservative? I’ll move to a contrarian position and say that I agree with the below quote:

The landmark political fact of our time is the replacement of our middle-class republic by a plutocracy.

He’s spot on about this, but most likely for the wrong reasons. The transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy does not come from ‘greedy’ corporations or successful individuals, it originates from the Federal Government and its lacky Federal Reserve’s borrow, spend and inflate policies. There’s no better way to kill the middle class then to cause massive inflation and put them in the poor house.

A positive note is that this problem will get a weekly column in a prestigious publication, the negative is he’ll most likely not be putting the blame where it belongs. Which might be worse in the long run…

Read “What’s The Matter With California?” by Jack Cashill. The book analyzes certain past events that have contributed to California-style liberalism. It’s not a perfect analysis, but it’s a good counter to the spiteful “Kansas” book, which reads like an exercise in bitterness.

And, Mr. Frank, who exactly qualifies as an intellectual? I guess Mr. Steyn doesn’t qualify. And especially not I. I still have to use a calculator once in a while. I do like a good cup ‘o coffee, though.

I’m getting bitter with the overuse of the word “bitter” lately. Admittedly, I’m guilty of overusing it lately, too. I like “rancorous.” Reminds me of the big pit monster from “Return of the Jedi.”

Would Obama prefer we were apathetic? I think I just answered my own question.

Yep! Keep looking your elitist noses down at the common citizen in flyover country you snob. At least when stuff hits the fan most of us will be able to take care of ourselves and our neighbors unlike the sophisticated big city dwellers that will have a nervous breakdown when basic services are no longer available and they won’t be able to get their morning Latte.

This guy has been thoroughly discredited. He is openly ridiculed by pundits as the ‘problem’ liberals have. So why hire this creep?
