Just as the agenda of traditional Christian and Jewish seminaries is to produce religious Christians and religious Jews, the agenda of Western universities is to produce (left-wing) secularists. The difference is that Christian and Jewish seminaries are honest about their agenda, while the universities still claim they have neither secularist nor political agenda. ~~ Dennis Prager Ever the rising tuitions, ever the increasing of useless degrees, from anti-Constitutional speech codes

8.1 on the Cognitive Dissonance scale [Darleen Click]
The Occupy movement, the darling of Democrats and their fellow travelers in the media, “famous” for filth, vandalism and rape, are also in favor of child sex-trafficking. On Wednesday, June 13, members of the Occupy movement protested against a conference dedicated to combatting child sex trafficking — thus, the Occupiers in essence were coming out in favor of one of society’s most loathsome moral crimes. The protesters mostly were members

Reagan was wrong; it is opposition to Government that is the problem … [Darleen Click]
… because Government is the Solution. Why don’t Democrats just say it? They really believe in active government and think it does good and valuable things. One of those valuable things is that government creates jobs — yes, really — and also the conditions under which more jobs can be created. […] It ought to be perfectly obvious: When the private sector is no longer investing, the economy will spin

NYTimes Steve Almond: Sure I’m an obnoxious, arrogant prick, but the tools and fools of evil conservatism made me that way [Darleen Click]
Somebody needs a hug and a reality check Consider the recent debate over whether employers must cover contraception in their health plans. The underlying question — should American women receive help in protecting themselves from unwanted pregnancies? — is part of a serious and necessary national conversation. Any hope of that conversation happening was dashed the moment Rush Limbaugh began his attacks on Sandra Fluke, the young contraceptive advocate. […]

Kitchen table economics [Darleen Click]
While engaging self-confessed Leftists on Twitter and elsewhere, I’m less amazed than depressed that basic economics slip by. Indeed, when reading rants of naked, covetous Marxism in the New York Times Capitalists and Other Psychopaths, not once do these screeds against wealth ever consider what is easily observed by any parent with two brain cells to rub together. My nine-year-old twin grandsons have just started getting a weekly allowance. Identical

Gayest statement evah [Darleen Click]
Clinton was our first Black President, so it’s left that Obama is, according to Andrew Sullivan, our first Gay President. And President Obama has much in common with the gay community. “He had to discover his black identity and then reconcile it with his white family, just as gays discover their homosexual identity and then have to reconcile it with their heterosexual family,” Sullivan writes. Sully asserts that our essential

VP Joe Biden expresses his approval of incestuous and polygamous marriages [Darleen Click]
Don’t-mess-with Joe on Meet the Press As more and more Americans come to understand what this is all about, it’s a simple proposition. Who do you love? Who do you love? Takes “simple” to a who new level.

“I see victims” [Darleen Click]
It’s always illuminating to read a Left-liberal trying to explain conservatives, though not in ways the Leftist intends. Recently, NYTimes columnist Nicholas Kristof took a stab at it. Conservatives may not like liberals, but they seem to understand them. In contrast, many liberals find conservative voters not just wrong but also bewildering. […] Now a fascinating new book comes along that, to a liberal like myself, helps demystify the right

California! Where everyone’s a millionaire! [Darleen Click]
Gov. Moonbeam SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday defended his characterization that his tax initiative primarily helps schools, rejecting criticism from the backer of a rival tax proposal who says he is distorting the benefits. Los Angeles attorney Molly Munger told The Associated Press last week that Brown is being untruthful by saying most of the money from his initiative will go to schools. She said she
