What an insulting and grievously gratuitous exercise in dhimmitude: Speaking to reporters Friday after the announcement of the death sentence decision for Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz made certain to clarify for Americans that Islam had nothing to do with the Tsarnaev brothers’ terrorism: Even in the wake of horror and tragedy, we are not intimidated by acts of terror or radical ideals… Make no mistake.

“Ode to Snowflakes” [Darleen Click]
Background [W]e might consider the manner in which the precious little darlings at Oberlin College have this week protested the visit of the “factual feminist,” Christina Hoff Sommers. First we saw the willful conflation of violence and language — a calling card of all would-be censors. Next came the pretense that to debate is in fact to “silence.” And, finally, we were subjected to the predictable insistence that there are

Shorter Obama — You’re a bad person to do the best for your kids. Me? You’re kidding, right? [Darleen Click]
RCP On Tuesday, President Obama participated in the Catholic-Evangelical Leadership Summit on Overcoming Poverty at Georgetown University in Washington. While many topics were discussed, including the media, the president addressed the impact children attending private schools have on the “opportunity” for other children. Obama also said a private school education leads to “an anti-government ideology.” “What’s happened in our economy is that those who are doing better and better… are

You belong to The Government: Make cash illegal [Darleen Click]
Now, what is it again we call people who have no ownership of the fruits of their labor? A proposed new law in Denmark could be the first step towards an economic revolution that sees physical currencies and normal bank accounts abolished and gives governments futuristic new tools to fight the cycle of “boom and bust”. The Danish proposal sounds innocuous enough on the surface – it would simply allow

University of Colorado’s Soviet NKVD policy of turning student against student [Darleen Click]

Less than four weeks into the invasion, the Belorussian NKVD had already identified no fewer than 3,535 counterrevolutionary “elements,” and by late November 1939 the organization had already arrested nearly 12,000 people throughout the former eastern Polish territories.11 When the NKVD chief in Belorussia reported the arrest of some 581 Polish officers and army reservists in early December, he emphasized that

Democrat Hank Johnson threatens violence over any move to limit the government [Darleen Click]
Congresscritter Hank “Guam is gonna tip over!” Johnson goes full thug … Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) says with budgets like the GOP plan, “the have-nots of this country will rise up like the people in Baltimore.” During an interview last week on WABE radio’s “A Closer Look” program Johnson said he voted against the GOP budget measure because of its domestic spending cuts and added that its passage could result

Obama wants to decide how much of your own money you should be allowed to spend on your family [Darleen Click]
From “You Didn’t Build That” to “Society’s Lottery Winners” Let’s not be surprised, Obama has never had to work for an actual living in his life, so wealth creation to him is just “luck.” And like all coveting totalitarians, he believes HE gets to decide what is the proper amount of money OTHER people should be allowed to spend on themselves and their families. This hectoring, paternalistic attitude by Barry
