Welcome to the Leftist

Please join our discussion

Get your mind blown by the left-wing opinionated analysis I rock. Pragmatism has prevailed in Democratic circles, but I'm not prepared to accept that. Let's push things forward.

The Left is growing

But don't let the moderates stamp out our ideals. We cannot waste a moment in pushing this country left. Our generation is optimistic and idealistic; we can't lose another generation to cynicism.

Hillary? What Ha-Happened?

By Mike Habegger. Posted in General

Because I am lazy, I am posting this commentary that I wrote for this week’s Free Press. Hope you like it. Though it’s not funny, and sort of waters down the stuff I’ve been writing about on here. –Begin Document– How did this happen? How did Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady and astonishingly popular senator from [...]

McCain and The New York Times.

By Mike Habegger. Posted in General

I am dumbfounded as to the outcry coming forth in defense of John McCain and against the New York Times for running an article titled “For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk.” I’ve never seen so many comments in my life. I thought the most I had seen ever would be the blog [...]

As I said in a previous post, I was in Boston from Feb 13-17, performing my duties as a Head Delegate for McDaniel College’s delegation to the Harvard National Model United Nations. They call it H-N Mun. As in, you say “etch-en mun.” I don’t particularly like this pronunciation, and I never use it. Though [...]

Ridiculousness. It’s snowing here, and I’m not sure why. Talked to my buddy Jared, who’s down in Annapolis being an intern for a Maryland politician, who I’ve obviously forgotten the name of, and he said there was no snow. Looks like it was a “Westminster Only” phenomenon. But it meant that my 3:00 class was cancelled, [...]

What it has of late degenerated into is a theological discussion, lead by a Catholic theologian, in a room full of [...]

Mitt Romney Out?

Okay, I admit it. I haven’t really been following the Republican race all that closely. Probably more closely than the average political junkie, but this was mainly to dig up fodder for bashing the annointed candidate throughout the summer when I’ll be bored to tears waiting for grad school to begin. But I’m just surprised. Why [...]

I’m gonna try to do something cool with the Super Tuesday primary, for which I’m not super excited. Actually, no I’m not. I forgot that my girlfriend has a game tonight at seven p.m., so I’m gonna have to go to that shit first. Then I’ll be back around 8:30 p.m. to watch the results [...]

Just thought I’d post this on my blog, too. Too bad Krugman never endorsed Edwards, though it probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway. I guess I can be happy that JRE made such an impact on the campaign… By Paul Krugman So John Edwards has dropped out of the race for the presidency. By normal political standards, his [...]
