Fox News is the Republican Party

I am writing in response to Chris Dodson’s Monday column, which condemned President Obama’s negative view of Fox News.

Thursday column predictable, unoriginal

Do you know why I hate reading the Alligator on Thursday?

Was it Green Day who said “wake me up when September ends”?

Republicans unveil new plan full of same old talking points

Look out Democrats, it’s time to party like it’s 1994! Well, kind of.

Better Late Than Never: Equality not a partisan issue

There are only a few, very rare events in this world that bring the Editorial Board so much joy at once.

Conservative arguments made in Griffin’s column not true

Bryan Griffin’s article “Individual action key to conservation” seems to strongly evoke his Republican role model, Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, and his limp response to President Obama’s State of the Union address. In his piece, he manages to convey such base ideas as “Liberals bad” and “Regulation bad.” OK, so you can’t blame him for paraphrasing the GOP manifesto. But beyond the standard partisan hackery, Mr. Griffin offers several gems that are simply too precious to ignore.

The GOP

Columnist ‘too objective’

Matthew Christ: To which political party do you belong? I couldn’t tell after reading yesterday’s column. Maybe if you had spent a few words glorifying one of the two parties, I could have figured it out. Perhaps some shameless, ruthless bashing of all things related to your political opposition would have helped. I turn to the opinions section of the Alligator to see stubborn opining, not acceptance and compromise.

Democrats stayed true to convictions

Yes they did.

Monday Miracle: Students became health experts overnight

In one of the greatest miracles to ever grace academia since the adderall cocktail, millions of college students overnight have become America’s leading experts on health care policy.

GOP Barbie Larimer’s views cheapen Republican women

When the Editorial Board read that Republican National Committee co-chair Jan Larimer thought women need “more hand-holding”  than men throughout the election process, we envisioned a patronizing man who happened to have a Scandinavian first name. We were wrong.

Obama needs to fight back after loss

Well, it’s official — the presidency of Barack Obama is over.

Democrats shouldn’t give up after loss

One of the bluest states in the country spat on Ted Kennedy’s grave Tuesday when Massachusetts elected Republican Scott Brown, and the Editorial Board can’t help but feel that Massachusetts voters delivered a sucker punch to the U.S. as a whole.

Crist and Rubio speak at GOP fundraiser

Excitement hung in the air, mixing with the smell of beer and barbecue sauce Thursday night at the Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue Jeans BBQ.
