What would we ever do without you taking every opportunity to browbeat Americans of pallor on their inherent racism? First lady Michelle Obama used a speech Monday that was supposed to be celebrating the opening of a new museum to instead dig deeper the racial divide that’s been growing ever wider during her husband’s presidency. “Museums and concert halls,” she said, just don’t welcome non-white visitors – especially children –

All your children are belong to us: The State as legal guardian from 0-18 [Darleen Click]
A Progressive’s wet dream A legal fight in Scotland’s highest civil court starts today to block an SNP plan to assign every child a state guardian over claims it rides roughshod over parents’ rights to raise their children how they see fit. Judge Lord Pentland is to examine the lawfulness of the measure, contained in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act, which assigns a “named” person such as a

“I intend to vote with my vagina.” [Darleen Click]
Well, honey, I do hope you intend to vote absentee, otherwise please be polite enough to pass a few wet-wipes to next person to go into the voting booth behind you. There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to menstruate, be pregnant, or give birth. There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to be the target of subtle and categorically unsubtle sexism.

“Where the Baltimore Police Went Wrong” [Darleen Click]
An interview with David Simon. Bill Keller: What do people outside the city need to understand about what’s going on there—the death of Freddie Gray and the response to it? David Simon: I guess there’s an awful lot to understand and I’m not sure I understand all of it. The part that seems systemic and connected is that the drug war—which Baltimore waged as aggressively as any American city—was transforming

Pity Joan Walsh of Salon, her racism does not allow blacks personal agency [Darleen Click]

I do know that with the filing of formal charges yesterday, the officers involved — whose “race” was never mentioned in any coverage — were revealed as three whites and three blacks. Which kind of puts

Are you an American ally who has been betrayed? Thank a Democrat! [Darleen Click]
Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. What is either forgotten, or deliberately lied about is that Nixon actually won the war with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords … only to have Democrats hand South Vietnam over to the communists.

Is your city burning? Thank a Democrat! [Darleen Click]
Blue City Model You’re not supposed to say this in polite company, but what went up in flames in Baltimore Monday night was not merely a senior center, small businesses and police cars. Burning down was also the blue-city model of urban governance. Nothing excuses the violence of rampaging students or the failure of city officials to stop it before Maryland’s Governor called in the National Guard. But as order
