Professors shocked, SHOCKED to find out ObamaCare applies to them [Darleen Click]
Schadenfreude … After years of singing the praises of universal health care, college professors are now shocked at how badly it has turned out — for them. Adjunct professors are steamed at the way their employers are interpreting the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate, which forces them to cover full-time but not part-time workers. Typical of liberals, they blame their employers instead of the job-killing law they supported. Starting Jan.

When ‘To Protect and To Serve’ is turned on its head [Darleen Click]
Radley Balko on how left-wing Massachusetts protects and empowers its warrior class from the taxpayers. As part of the American Civil Liberties Union’s recent report on police militarization, the Massachusetts chapter of the organization sent open records requests to SWAT teams across that state. It received an interesting response. As it turns out, a number of SWAT teams in the Bay State are operated by what are called law enforcement

Nancy Pelosi on Illegal alien kids: It’s not a crisis, but an opportunity! [Darleen Click]
“We are all Americans” Pelosi explained, “We are all Americans — north and south in this hemisphere,” and urged America to see this as not a crisis but an opportunity “to be helpful.” She also said she wished she could simply “take home” the thousands of children temporarily housed in the overburden facilities.

The Onion is superfluous [Darleen Click]
Depressingly not parody When the doctor holds your child up to the harsh light of the delivery room, looks between its legs, and declares his opinion: It’s a boy or a girl, based on nothing more than a cursory assessment of your offspring’s genitals. Biological sex is opinion? Tell me again how it is that conservatives are sneered at as “anti-science”? With infant gender assignment, in a single moment your

PC-Obsessed Writer Outraged Military Uses Indian Names For Its Attack Helicopters…
Oh for fuck’s sake. Not to keep beating this horse, but it’s always about language. And that’s because language controls thought and thought, when driven to consent, either affirmatively or through tacit surrender, secures power, from which all else derives. Nobody pretending to outrage over this gives a tinker’s damn about Native American dignity. They care about controlling language and by doing so, controlling thought and collecting power. There’s nothing

About that 9-0 ruling about Obama’s unconstitutional recess appointment
Yesterday, when the news broke, I was a bit, shall we say, blase, about the whole thing — my attitude toward the decision being that it doesn’t much matter, because in our current political climate laws are either ignored, rewritten, or upheld without regard to their constitutionality. And it turns out that further digging, courtesy of Mark Levin last evening, reveals that the decision, while it acts as a rebuke
