Why the GOP gave in on the budget

The New Neo Posted on October 29, 2015 by neoOctober 29, 2015

I’ve heard it opined that the reason the GOP capitulated on the budget is that they want Hillary Clinton to be elected, because they prefer being the opposition party to having to accomplish anything. But I don’t think that’s the … Continue reading →

I’m with Cruz on this

The New Neo Posted on October 28, 2015 by neoOctober 28, 2015

This is not a “grand bargain” or negotiation””it is complete and utter surrender… It’s ridiculous, deceitful, and a disgrace. Make no mistake: the speaker’s golden parachute is a victory for the Washington cartel, for the politically connected elite, and for … Continue reading →

Landmark Polish election

The New Neo Posted on October 28, 2015 by neoOctober 28, 2015

The Polish election of last Sunday featured a few unusual elements: both major parties fielded a female candidate as leader, and it’s the first time since Poland threw off the Communist yoke in 1989 that a party has won an … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on October 27, 2015 by neoOctober 27, 2015

Paul Ryan, Speaker heir incumbent, says, “Not without us”: Rep. Paul Ryan blasted Speaker John Boehner, Senate leadership and the White House for cutting a budget and debt ceiling deal in secret and without input from lawmakers. “I think the … Continue reading →

The joke’s on Guatemala

The New Neo Posted on October 26, 2015 by neoOctober 26, 2015

It’s becoming clear that the “throw the bums out and elect an untried and untested personality” impulse is international. First we had Canada, which elected an inexperienced but telegenic son of a former prime minister, a young man who until … Continue reading →

Digital elephants and other things I know nothing about

The New Neo Posted on October 23, 2015 by neoOctober 23, 2015

Except that I’ve a strong hunch that they’re important: Here is a simple fact: right now, the GOP is on the road to defeat, set to be overwhelmed by a superior digital voter microtargeting operation on the other side, and … Continue reading →

More on the Canadian election, and on ours

The New Neo Posted on October 21, 2015 by neoOctober 21, 2015

Here’s a piece by a Canadian explaining (at least somewhat) the results of Canada’s election. It rings true, I think. Basically, it was a personality contest, with Harper as the Nixonian cold fish and Trudeau as the young Obama-esque figure. … Continue reading →

The left sees no need to tiptoe around any more

The New Neo Posted on October 20, 2015 by neoOctober 20, 2015

Read this and weep. One thing I’ve long felt about the Obama presidency is that it showed the way and blazed the trail, at least for American leftists since the 60s. Particularly since Reagan, the left in this country used … Continue reading →

Liberals win big in Canada

The New Neo Posted on October 20, 2015 by neoOctober 20, 2015

So, why did Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party win yesterday’s Canadian election? It seems that voters wanted hope and change. In particular, they seem to have wanted a change to a Prime Minister with very little political executive experience. Sound familiar? … Continue reading →

All hail our new leader: Trump

The New Neo Posted on October 17, 2015 by neoJanuary 27, 2016

This post isn’t about Trump. It’s about his supporters. Not all of his supporters, either. But a certain very vocal percentage. I’m not sure what that percentage is. More than half? Less than half? Much less than half? What I … Continue reading →

The evolution of the term “RINO”

The New Neo Posted on October 15, 2015 by neoOctober 15, 2015

Have you noticed it? Used to be that the term “RINO” was reserved for Republicans who really were very close to being Democrats—that is, Republicans who crossed the line to vote with the Democrats very often, argued Democratic causes, and … Continue reading →

Obama showed the way to executive tyranny, and Hillary plans to follow

The New Neo Posted on October 9, 2015 by neoOctober 9, 2015

I wrote about this topic yesterday in discussing the Matt Yglesias piece about Hillary Clinton’s ruthless use of power. Today proves that Yglesias is not alone. In fact, his praise for the idea of a president “liberally” using executive action … Continue reading →
