Tucson School District To Reintroduce Racist “Raza Studies”…

Weasel Zippers

  

"The Tucson Unified School District Governing Board is reversing itself by voting to drop an objection to providing so-called “culturally relevant” courses for core credit beginning next school year.
"The courses would focus on experiences, culture and history of Mexican-Americans and African-Americans.
"The governing board had objected to offering the courses as part of anti-desegregation plan.
"However, the board reversed its position in a 3-2 vote Tuesday as two newly elected board members supported the change.
"The district previously eliminated Mexican-American Studies courses after state officials ruled that the courses’ content violated a law against curriculum that engendered racial or ethnic disharmony."

Hagel and Brennan; the choice of Obama

http://terrellaftermath.com/

The American Action Forum; Obama’s Controversial Defense Choice  "Under different circumstances, Hagel might have sailed to confirmation.  A decorated Vietnam veteran with decades of foreign policy experience, Hagel carries an impressive résumé.  Politically, he should have been able to count on support not just from Team Obama, but also from his fellow Republicans.  And being a former Senator should have made him a shoe-in, since the Senate tends to support its alumni regardless of party.  Hillary Clinton was confirmed on a 94-2 vote, and John Kerry appears likely to face little opposition to replace her.
"Instead, President Obama’s choice of Hagel sets up perhaps the most contested cabinet fight of Obama’s second term."

Jonah Goldberg; Hagel: A Petty Pick  "The coming nomination fight will undoubtedly focus on the strength of the case against Hagel. But the real indictment of Obama’s pick is the weakness of the case for Hagel — and the pettiness of the pick in the first place."

How about this?...."
Legal Insurrection; The problem is not Chuck Hagel in isolation, it’s what the nomination of Hagel says about where Obama wants our defense and foreign policy to go.
"But what I’m finding out is deeply troubling — including David Brooks’ excellent post highlighted in my post Hagel the perfect foil to manage military’s decline over Republican objections.
"Hagel seems like the perfect smash-mouth Obama nominee, someone who, like his possibly future boss, is more interested in smashing Republicans and dividing the opposition than strengthening our international standing."  (Emphasis mine, TD)

CIA Nominee Brennan Dismisses Radical Islam, Calls [Jerusalem] Al-Quds, Whitewashes Hizballah "... John Brennan, who is currently President Obama’s chief security adviser for counter-terrorism, has been a leading figure in the failure of the Obama Administration to name the enemy – radical Islam – waging war on the U.S.; has called Jerusalem by its Arabic name, Al-Quds, has whitewashed the Lebanese terrorist group, Hizballah; and been implicated in serious intelligence failures:" Read more...

Counter-Terrorism Chief John Brennan calls Jerusalem “Al-Quds”  "During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in “religious terms.” "

CIA Nominee John Brennan Has Touted Hezbollah’s ‘Moderate Elements’ " After a visit to Lebanon the following April, Brennan raised eyebrows when he was quoted as speaking about Hezbollah having “moderate elements” which the U.S. should try to “build up.” "
...."then-deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage suggested that Hezbollah could be regarded as a more dangerous threat than Osama bin Laden’s network, telling a U.S. Institute of Peace function, “Hezbollah may be the A-team of terrorists and maybe al-Qaeda is actually the B-team.” "

Obama mulls issuing executive orders on gun control

Rick Moran at American Thinker  Quoting from The Hill:

It should be noted that there is a near zero chance that the president will issue an executive order grabbing any guns. It is more likely that Obama will tighten reporting requirements for state agencies who report mentally ill people to the government, or perhaps hit gun shows with new requirements that will make it more difficult for sellers to do business. But there's no sense going overboard with hysterical warnings about Obama taking guns. Not going to happen and it only makes the president's critics look crazy.

  "Of far more importance than any executive order Obama might issue is the obvious administration strategy of turning this into an emotional debate so that people won't think logically of the consequences. To do this, they will invoke Newtown every chance they get. They know they will lose a debate on the merits and facts. But they have a chance if they exploit the Newtown dead and scare people into pressuring congress to adopt bad legislation." "Never let a crisis go to waste" - even if you have to create one by standing on the dead bodies of little children."

Pravda Op-Ed To US: Never Give Up Your Guns. Wait...what? Pravda?
"In fact, under the Soviet Union crime was rampant. But the Communist governments lied about it, and suppressed the statistics. A practice some claim is still continuing under Putin."

While President Putin pushes through reforms, the local authorities, especially in our vast hinterland, do not feel they need to act like they work for the people. They do as they please, a tyrannical class who knows they have absolutely nothing to fear from a relatively unarmed population. This in turn breeds not respect but absolute contempt and often enough, criminal abuse.

Coulter: Doing the research the New York Times won’t do

Ann Coulter;  "There is an academic, peer-reviewed, long-term study of the effect of various public policies on public, multiple shootings in all 50 states over a 20-year period performed by renowned economists at the University of Chicago and Yale, William Landes and John Lott. It concluded that the only policy to reduce the incidence of, and casualties from, mass shootings are concealed-carry laws. The Times will never mention this study."
...."Here’s a tip: High-crime areas are often bristling with bulletproof glass, heavy-duty locks, gated windows and armed guards. The bulletproof glass doesn’t cause the crime; it’s a response to crime. On Rosenthal’s logic, hospitals kill people because more people die in hospitals than outside of them."
"(In any event, the Lott-Landes study didn’t recommend armed guards, but armed citizens.)
....
Coulter finishes with this:

...Bad Journalism kills.

By the way, did you hear this? Obamacare Amendment Forbids Gun and Ammo Registration
"It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c.
"According to reports, that amendment says the government cannot use doctors to collect "any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition."
CNN is calling it "a gift to the nation's powerful gun lobby.""

By the way, do you notice that, in leftspeak, "gun owners" is not used? For the liberals the term "gun lobby" is more effective for their purposes. Just as they find the term "millionaires and billionaires" is better than "small business owners". TD
