When Rush Limbaugh apologized to Sandra Fluke after calling her a ‘slut’ for daring to argue that the government should force health insurance plans to include medicinally beneficial birth control pills in their plans, I thought this was a good thing.  If there’s one thing I’m much in favor of, it’s civility in the political discourse. Rush was uncivil in his comments, period. And unlike what some of my conservative friends believe, I don’t think apologizing for a mistake like that makes you weak. I actually think it shows that Rush isn’t a coward; instead, he mans up to his mistake. This is how things are handled in the real world. You make a mistake, you apologize for it, and that’s the end of it.

Well, that should have been the end of it. Instead, Ms. Fluke rejected the apology, saying it only came after advertisers started pulling support. Fine, that’s her prerogative.MORE

Conservatives used to criticize the media, and not just for its liberal bias.

There once was a vocal argument coming from the right — from culture war stalwarts like Bill Bennett — that the media’s focus on sex and violence coarsened our culture. They argued that when too much attention was given to someone who committed a crime or was of low morals, it risked turning them into a celebrity or an icon.MORE

I know, it’s over now, but that won’t stop radical environmentalists and people who think we’re “destroying the Earth.”  So I present to you the late George Carlin’s take on Earth Day and our impact on the survival of Mother Gaia.

And as a way of honoring his past struggles against the increasingly tyrannical FCC, I’ll simply note that it’s George Carlin, folks.

Although I expressed some disappointment last night toward Andrew Breitbart over his handling of the Shirley Sherrod video, I can certainly understand how the situation got like this.

By Breitbart’s own account on CNN this afternoon, he only received during the weekend the two videos that he posted on Monday, although he’s apparently known about them since March.MORE

Three days ago, founder of Big Hollywood and Big Government Andrew Breitbart appeared on CNBC to talk about current events, the media and its leftwing bias.

Andrew is more than anyone able to see through the tactics of the left; Democratic politicians, activists and journalists. The bias is real and obvious. A war has to be fought against them, for they have declared war on conservatism.MORE

I just finished watching “Wanted,” a 2008 movie directed by Timur Bekmambetov and starring Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. Most of you watched it last year, I’m sure; yeah, I’m Dutch, we’re a bit slow down here.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to write a summary – this is just a commentary. For a summary you can go here. Enjoy.

“Wanted” is strange.MORE

Via Hot Air, The Right Sphere’s Brandon Kiser argues that Media Matters’ focus of their attacks on Fox News, means that the site should reconsider its IRS 501(c)(3) status:

The cutesy-sounding mission of Media Matters to “correct conservative misinformation” is no longer even remotely appropriate.MORE

This is from my latest post for Andrew Breitbart’s Big Hollywood.

If you didn’t know any better, you would almost think that Sean Penn wants to make it extremely easy for conservatives to criticize Hollywood for being overly liberal. He’s flown to Cuba to interview his hero Fidel Castro:

Conservative comedian Steven Crowder produced a new video for Pajamas TV in which he makes fun of America’s far-left. The main victim this time? Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.

Watch Crowder’s video, it’s truly hilarious.

The main problem I have with Michael Moore isn’t that he lies, distorts and deceives. That’s what you’d expect from a professional propagandist after all.MORE

Today’s quote of the day comes from David Horowitz:

The left’s chief political contribution to American politics is witch-hunts. The left is always searching for the racist under every bed, or the sexist or the homophobe or the Islamo-phobe.MORE
