Reading list: life under liberalism

Victor Davis Hanson; The Obama Administration’s Ethics Problem 
Mr. Hanson lists case after case of this administration's poor character, then concludes with this:
 ... "The common denominator?

"In all of these cases, politics trumped ethics. Because Obama professed that he was on the side of the proverbial people, administrators assumed that they had a blank check to do or say what they wished without much media audit. The mystery is not whether some administration officials were incompetent or unethical or both, but whether there are any left who are not."

"The message?

“ 'Dave and Ed just don’t get it: By branding Ukip racists they’re damning millions of decent Britains”-Stephen Glover, Daily Mail, May 22, 2014.

"Obama comrade, Prime Minister David Cameron, Labour Leader Ed Miliband and Liberal Leader Nick Clegg threw everything but the proverbial kitchen sink at Ukip trying to impact their voter turnout by branding them “racists”.

"But supposedly low information voters in Britain didn’t buy the Party propaganda."

Redistribution masquerading as reparations

 ... "There is a complete disconnect between cause and effect — anyone with a particular skin color is presumed to be a victim of policies even from generations earlier. It’s a simplistic and non-evidentiary approach which generalizes anecdotes and ignores the myriad of factors that influence success or failure in life.

"Rather, this is a societal redistribution, in which the not actually guilty pay, and the not actually injured get compensated, via the power of government to redistribute wealth.
It’s just redistribution with a different justification."

MSNBC, of course.
