Cagey News Compendium, January 2011: The main thought I had in building this digest of news clips was the change in political mood about a month and a half prior to the November 2010 elections. It was abundantly clear that a major turn was ahead.
Also, why has the response to Wikileaks met with such a tepid response?
Finally, stay tuned for the feature video at the end. “Ain’t that America?”
POLITICS
“Palin and the Left’s Status Anxiety”
http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/15616.html
“No, the best explanation for the left’s bizarre Palin obsession is status-anxiety. Status-anxiety occurs when a person believes that their position in a real or imagined social hierarchy is threatened. Leftists react emotionally to Palin because of the threat she poses to their own individual sense of status. All their other arguments are just put forth to rationalize that emotional reaction.”

“Tea Party Cynics at the Polls”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/tea_party_cynics_at_the_polls.html
“The left has greatly underestimated the determination of the tea party to reclaim the country. The tea party protests, to quote the president, are "illegitimate" because they stand in the way of necessary change. This great revolution, however, is nothing more than a contemptible program of income confiscation and redistribution, and despite the administration's rhetoric to the contrary, the middle class is the target of this redistribution scheme.”

“That's an order! Judge overturns don't ask, don't tell”
http://blog.nj.com/njv_george_berkin/2010/10/thats_an_order_judge_overturns.html
"Conservatives responded to the ruling by saying that democracy requires that elected officials, not judges, make social policy. 'Once again, an activist federal judge is using the military to advance a liberal social agenda, disregarding the views of all four military service chiefs and the constitutional role of the Congress,' said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a social policy think tank."
"Unfortunately, it is very tempting for liberal judges, impatient with the stubbornness of less 'progressive' elements of society, to set social policy for the military and the rest of us. But allowing judges to rule – instead of the people, through their duly elected representatives – is not good practice.
