Multiculturalism: Political Correctness Run Amok

Townhall  "Historically, immigrants have come to these shores with the intention of embracing democratic ideals, not supplanting them. Without these ideals, we would cease to be America. If we are unwilling to defend the foundations of our liberty, we must realize that we are at great risk of losing it.
"For heaven's sake, let's have a robust discussion about whether the tenets of Islam are compatible with the tenets of democracy. The loss of our liberty is too high a price to pay for the sake of political correctness."
 Ken Connor is Chairman of the Center for a Just Society in Washington, DC.

A Witch Hunt for Bigots Singes American Media  "I've talked to people at CAIR and MediaMatters. I know folks who work for NPR. They all think they're smart, and yet they've just sent a bonehead message to the American public.
"Way to go, ye titans of tolerance. You've just broadcasted that an African-American moderate with a solid civil-rights record can lose his job and be branded as a bigot for quoting a convicted terrorist and admitting to a moment's hesitation if he sees someone in Muslim garb on a plane."  Debra J. Saunders

We Are All Bigots Now "Timothy McVeigh did not proclaim “Jesus Is Lord” when he blew up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. In fact, truth be told McVeigh was a professed agnostic who said he worshipped science!
"The attacks nine years ago that killed 3,000 Americans were not just done by people who happened to have grown up in a Muslim country, but they were done IN THE NAME OF ISLAM..." David Stokes

The Face of Freedom-Takers- George Soros- Freedom Action

Freedomist  "George Soros, a Hungarian billionaire who manipulates currencies to earn his riches while brankrupting millions, has declared open season on anyone who resisists his neo-fascist form of Progressive secular socialism. Soros is putting millions into front groups and giving them the task of digging up dirt, or inventing it if necessary, on anyone who stands in his way."....
"Now, instead of manufacturing a crisis to devalue a currency, Soros is pushing a political agenda that, even now, is knee-capping America’s economic and political institutions, making her ripe for the kind of collapse Soros knows all too well how to profit from."
 We ask why honorable Muslims won't condemn the violent terrorists. In the same vein, why don't honorable Democrats condemn the damage to this nation being perpetrated in the name of their party?

Juan Williams and NPR; more to be said

Krauthammer Directly Challenges Totenberg on NPR’s ‘Hypocrisy’ in Firing Juan Williams While Letting Her Opine Freely  "An uncomfortable Totenberg asserted “it’s a very, very difficult line to draw. And NPR tries to draw it, in my view, using rules that don’t exist anymore.” To which, Krauthammer wondered: “But what’s the difference between you and Juan expressing opinions? You on this show, and him on Fox?”"

Andy McCarthy: NPR: A Test Case for Republicans  "If they cannot defund NPR, you can bet they will not reverse Obamacare"....
"...Williams miscalculated. He figured that because he is a long-standing member of the NPR-certified Society of the Slavishly Right-Thinking, he could safely stroll a few steps off the reservation. Too bad he was wrong, but at least he got the chance to miscalculate. On the political right, we get no chance. In the NPR world Williams helped foster, we’re already condemned."

So This Means We Get To See Obama's College And Law School Records, Right?

Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion "Right? I mean, all we now have to do is to run to this Judge in Alaska and point out that if Joe Miller's confidential personnel file from a prior employer needs to be made public because running for Senate is so important, certainly we are entitled to more information about Obama than he tells us in his books, right?"

Judge orders Miller documents released  " "I hold that although Mr. Miller has a legitimate expectation of privacy in those documents, Mr. Miller's right to privacy is indeed outweighed by the public's significant interest in the background of a public figure who is running for the U.S. Senate," the judge said. He noted that U.S. senator is among the highest elected offices in the nation."

Bride-to-be set to say 'I do' — to herself (Oh, well...why not?)

MSNBC  " "I was just hoping that more people would love themselves," said Chen, who will go on a solo honeymoon to Australia. " 
Has she written her vows yet? Will they be made public? Did she do a pre-nup? Can she be forced to testify against herself in any future trial? How about pre-marriage counselling? (Well, obviously not that last one.)

Wikileak’s Papers Reveal US Troops Did Find WMD in Iraq

Danger Room  "The WMD diehards will likely find some comfort in these newly-WikiLeaked documents. Skeptics will note that these relatively small WMD stockpiles were hardly the kind of grave danger that the Bush administration presented in the run-up to the war.

"But the more salient issue may be how insurgents and Islamic extremists (possibly with the help of Iran) attempted to use these lethal and exotic arms. As Spencer noted earlier, a January 2006 war log claims that “neuroparalytic” chemical weapons were smuggled in from Iran."

The New York Times Hearts WikiLeaks, Again "It’s rather ironic that in chronicling documents that are supposed to expand our knowledge about the Iraq War, Tavernise and Lehren actually detract from any public understanding of this vital subject." By Max Boot  in Commentary

Learn Your Lincoln, Mr. President

Hands Off Texas!  "On Wednesday during a speech in Parma, Ohio, President Obama decided to quote a former President to help justify his policy initiatives:

“But in the words of the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, I also believe that government should do for the people what they cannot do better for themselves”.

"I assume he was paraphrasing this actual quote from President Lincoln, but unfortunately he left out the most important part:"...

The World Has a Muslim Problem

Orson Bean in Big Hollywood  "I used to watch Bernie Goldberg in his early days on Fox trying to retain what he could of his liberal beliefs. As he came to see the savagery of the left he slowly came around to being more conservative. It will be interesting to see the same thing happen to Williams. Both of them were decent liberals who found that the ground moved out from under them."

Obama’s Destructive Foreign Policy

Big Government "President Obama seems to think that every global policy problem is a result of misunderstanding, miscommunication, or mixed signals perpetuated through the Bush presidency. If we could just get the world to like the United States, Obama argues, these problems will solve themselves. Multiple unenforced ultimatums for Iran and Obama’s inflated faith in personal diplomacy fail to instill much confidence for the future." Includes video interview with Victor Davis Hanson.
