Dad doesn’t follow Potemkin Townhall Q&A charade … [Darleen Click]

… ejected, arrested, facing 6 months in jail and $2,500 fine. A father in Towson, Maryland, was forcefully ejected from a local town hall forum for asking the wrong question. Robert Small had concerns over the Common Core education initiative, feeling that it was dumbing down the curriculum in his local school district. “My question is, how does lowering America’s educational standards prepare kids for community college?” asked Small, before

“Kansas University Professor Wishes Death on the Children of NRA Members, Liberals Applaud” [UPDATE: You’re not in Kansas anymore, Mr Guth!]

As I’m sure is the case with many readers here, this means Kansas University associate professor of journalism David W. Guth is wishing death of our children. Their crime? Being the offspring of those who work to protect a natural right safeguarded by a Constitution that they openly deplore. From Grass Root Journal: In the aftermath of Sandy Hook, comedian and actor Jim Carrey referred to gun owners as “heartless

#ObamaCare — designed to fail [Darleen Click]

Feature, not bug. Panic, then stampede people, into single-payer Government medicine. Just got letter from Anthem canceling our family's health insurance plan. #ifyoulikeyourplanyouCANTkeepit pic.twitter.com/8jDwD6jKCO — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 21, 2013 And the Obama administration engages in a “Sorry, we really meant …” backpeddling: The U.S. government on Wednesday scaled back its projections for Obamacare’s impact in 2014, saying the law would generate slower healthcare spending growth and provide coverage

“California college bars student from handing out copies of Constitution”

Because of the extremism.  Or rather, because the student didn’t stick to his assigned free speech zone — my guess is, just for the irony of their actually being only a small free speech zone from which he was permitted to hand out the Constitution on Constitution day, and even then, he needed to get permission for his free speech from the governing authorities of the college days in advance.

“‘Let’s Talk About Guns’: CNN Anchor Says This Is Making Him Rethink His Stance on Guns”

If this keeps up, CNN might actually find itself an actual news source — or else NRO can hire him on, and maybe regain some conservative street cred. Imagine:  a black liberal awakening.  A black liberal “intellectual” actually thinking — reviewing data, drawing the proper conclusions from said data, and breezily dismissing the “NRA lobby” as somehow responsible for the majority of gun deaths, which occur either by suicide, or

“CEI Experts: New EPA Rule Could Mean End of Coal-Fired Plants in US”

But hey, if we just elect more Republicans, all this goes away — Republicans being notorious for their efforts to beat back the administrative state! CEI: If the carbon dioxide emissions standard for power plants proposed by the EPA today is enacted, the United States will have built its final coal-fired power plant, say experts at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The proposed standard for new electric plants would, for the

“House presents plan to defund Obamacare, but do they mean it?”

As most of you know by know, the House in fact passed the defund resolution, but as most of you also know by now, people like NR’s Rich Lowry are sniffing at the efficacy of the thing, noting that once Harry Reid strips out the defund measure and sends the resolution back to the House, a committee will then produce a “clean” resolution, which will pass — the Republicans having

I get emails, 2

From Ginny Grimsley, hawking appearances by some wannabe expert looking to make bank (ironic, I know) on a “thoughtful” consideration of Putin’s warning about the dangers of American Exceptionalism: Good Morning, The idea that all men are created equal is a founding principle of the United States. So, is the belief in American exceptionalism inherently contradictory – or even dangerous? Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently thinks so; in his recent

Democrats piss on the families of Benghazi victims [Darleen Click] UPDATED

Unconscionable. During the second portion of a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing about Benghazi Thursday on Capitol Hill, the majority of Democrats on the Committee left the room and refused to listen to the testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods. Ms. Smith is the mother of Sean Smith, an information management officer killed in the 9/11 Benghazi attack. Charles Woods is the father of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods,

I get email

This time, from “Marcus Brandon for Congress.” First, let me say this: I have no idea who Marcus Brandon is, save for the emails that I get from him that make their way into my inbox. But unlike the signed garbage that comes from activists for the Obama agenda and allow no direct replies, Mr Brandon’s email seems to come from Mr Brandon, not from some generic, propaganda clearing house.
