The Donald Is A Left-Wing Agent

++The National Review printed yesterday an article saying the Donald was a left-wing agent meant to disrupt the Republican primaries and ruin the GOP brand. First the piece said that his remarks about immigrants were meant to offend everyone . But also that they hide that he is a progressive. The Donald was inserted into the GOP to spread discord. The National Review quotes Glenn Beck as the authoritative source.

++Business Insider notes that the Suffolk poll that showed the Donald in second means that The Donald is the anti-Bush.

++Jon Stewart walked off the show last night when he heard that the Donald hadn't filed his papers with the FEC. He was only kidding because the Donald really did file.

++Rush Limbaugh says that the "Left's" campaign against the flag of the confederacy is just the first step because "the Left" aims to ban the American flag.

++The Hill writes that Nikki Haley's decision about the Confederate flag makes her prime Vice Presidential material. Just think Jindal-Haley--a Hindu and Sikh.

++Ann Coulter says that Haley is an immigrant and doesn't understand history. I guess like the South lost the war.

++A protestor outside the Charleston capitol said that taking down the confederate flag means that communism is coming. He said "The South is the only free place in the United States."

++Mitch McConnell actually asked that the statue of Jefferson Davis be removed from the Kentucky state house. I thought that was somewhat gratuitous.

++Josh Marshall has a piece up on Talkingpoints about the confederate flag being "the White Man's" flag.

++Today's the big day for Jindal. Is it because IBM refuses to attend the groundbreaking at their new Louisiana plant because of his anti-gay law? He had nothing better to do.

++Ed Kilgore has an interesting piece about President obama and the politics of change. He quotes relevant passages of two interviews the President has done,including his garage interview that gave the media a stroke with his use of the "N" word. Kilgore's piece raises interesting perspectives about the limits of change by a President.

++Business Insider thinks it will be 6-3 for same-sex marriage. Bill in Portland pleads with Pastor Scarborough not to set himself on fire. 

++The Southern Baptist Convention claims now is the "Bonhoffer Moment". This puzzles me because Dietrich Bonhoffer was offended by America's treatment of blacks when he was at Union and travelled to the South. He blasted American evangelicals and fundamentalists for doing nothing about this. Now on same-sex marriage, the religion of the slave-holding south wants to do what? Bonhoffer joined the Abwehr with the intent to topple Adolf Hitler. Are the Baptists going to "assassinate" anyone? Are they going to secede from the union? Or are they going to set themselves on fire like Pastor Rick Scarborough plans?

++I think we are heading back to teabag times with the rhetoric from the Right.
