I don’t think it is possible to deny that racism exists in America. What seems to be in contention is how much of it, and in what form. Of course how to lessen it’s impact and what sort of societal attitudes are useful to do that are also a point of argument. Recently Keith Bardwell, [...]

ed note: You should also read the post at Patterico’s Pontifications for more great commentary on this. Thanks for saving the image! It is no surprise to readers of this blog that there are a lot of folks out there who are temperamentally incapable of not seeing the world through the eyes of victimhood politics. [...]

I am headed out overnight, but I wanted to leave this here for you. Here is a look into the mind of Barack Obama, from a 2001 speech. Emphasis added by me. “If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where [...]

This is just staggeringly stupid. Here’s the 411 (h/t to Michelle Malkin)… The B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ invited Charisse Carney-Nunes to waste the time of their students and run an indoctrination session assembly based around here propaganda children’s book “I am Barack Obama”.

Racism is on the rise… as a strategy to shut down dissent and debate. During the election we saw the beginnings of this strategy tested, and it worked. If you disagree with Barack Obama, you must be a racist. This attack was used against Hillary Clinton and these days it is turned against everyone from [...]

I’ve been twittering a lot of late, and as such the number of pure blog style entries here have dropped off. I don’t see that as a problem to be honest. However, occasionally there is something worth a long form comment. Enter our hero, Van Jones. I am sure Van is a man who passionately [...]

This week I am in Kansas, with the family of a girl that is precious to me. Her mother lies in an ICU hooked to a respirator after suffering a multiple organ failure event probably related to her diabetes. She is currently sedated and unconscious while a feeding tube provides her nutrients and a bag [...]

We have discussed the hatred that drives many Obama supporters in the past ( examples: link and link ). The saga continues. With Al Franken now a Senator (by any means necessary) the picture of the 2008 elections is now complete. The issue, the only issue, was revenge. People voted for Franken simply because the [...]

Ghandi has a lot in common with Quantum Mechanics. His principles are rarely understood by those who think he makes good evidence for their lunacy. Recently on twitter discussing the recent “troubles” in Iran someone pulled out this little bit of fluff from our patron saint of starvation… "First they ignore you, then they ridicule [...]
