What if ‘naked liberalism’ is just VERY unpopular?

Is it really true that BUT FOR racist white Americans, Obama’s liberal agenda (including the socialization of our health care industry) would skate through Congress and become law? I guess we could test the data, couldn’t we? If racism is really the single factor holding Obama’s agenda back, we should be able to find recent [...]

Does ‘racism’ even mean anything anymore?

If not, then what a sad, sad day for the genuine victims of racism. Here’s the AP reporting on Jimmy Carter’s latest steaming nugget of wisdom: ATLANTA (AP) – Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst to President Barack Obama during a speech to Congress last week was an act [...]

Why so serious?

What’s your reaction to this poster? If you’re anything like the scribblers over at the Washington Post, your reaction (of course) is that the poster is racist. Huh? The only way this thing is racist is if any negative depiction of Obama is racist, and that can’t be true, can it? If so, then nothing [...]

7-minute brownies.

I love Jonah Goldberg, and he absolutely tees off on Obama this morning: All presidents go through rough patches, and Obama’s no exception. Odds are his poll numbers will get better — and worse — in the years to come. All of this is typical. But this misses a crucial point: Obama isn’t supposed to [...]

Race to the bottom.

When a black man can’t be identified as a black man . . . what’s become of our great Republic? CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) – The woman who reported a possible break-in at the home of black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says she tried to be careful and honest with her words, never thinking [...]

The hustler.

That’s right, I’m talking about Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates. You know who he is, right? By now, you should all be familiar with the sad story of Professor Gates, our unfortunate President, and the eminently professional police Sgt. James Crowley. If not, I direct you here. In a nutshell, a neighbor observed 2 men [...]

Acting stupidly.

Excellent writeup of the Gates/Obama affair by Victor Davis Hanson: In the jargon of postmodernism, the president asserted one racial narrative as truth, while most of multiracial America accepted quite another: that Professor’s Gates’s contacts and friendships gave him privileged treatment not accorded to others who scream and blow up at policemen, and that minority [...]

Ch-ch-ch Chia!

Just thought this was classic. I posted something on this during the campaign and I don’t want to go look for it now…but it had to do with ultimate destinations of pop fads being remainder racks and discount bins. I hadn’t thought of this one, though. What do you think? And some are saying that [...]

If there weren’t a racial divide, would we need to invent one?

As always, Jonah Goldberg swings and hits a deep fly ball…it may go….YES! Home run! In case you haven’t read them yet, here are Obama-appointed Attorney General Eric Holder’s comments on Americans and race: “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and [...]

Chilling.

Seems an anti-Obama sign in your window can get you pulled over in Oklahoma City and the privilege of a visit from Secret Service. No, really. The police officers who stopped Oklahoma City motorist Chip Harrison and confiscated a sign from his car told him he has a right to his beliefs, but the Secret [...]

Pride and prejudice?

Dennis Prager : Minorities Should Express Shame, Not Only Pride – Townhall.com. Why does one almost never hear expressions of group shame from members of any American group other than white Christians (specifically, white Christian male heterosexuals)? Are the only evildoers in America white male heterosexual Christians? Is there something inherently wrong about members of [...]
