More Radicalizing of Higher Education Ahead

Jay Schalin , AT "If the previous committee was "too politicized" to permit its continued existence -- its big sin was to press for establishing universal, easily understood, quantifiable academic standards -- then what are we to make of way the Obama administration is loading up the newly formed NACIQI with diversity advocates and left-wing activists?" GLSEN-ing Young Children "Public education, led by people like Kevin Jennings, proceeds full throttle in the secular quest to extricate all vestiges of moral suasion and innocence, designing homosexual-friendly curricula to include books that augment acceptance of gay students, with the hope of diminishing incidences of bullying of everyone except Bible-readers and Jesus-sketchers."

2009: Tipping Point for Domestic Terror?

Patrick Poole Pajamas Media "No doubt many jihadists observing these incidents are encouraged by their apparent success and the added benefit of waging “legal jihad” in the court system afterwards, appealing to all the rights and protections afforded them by the very same U.S. Constitution they seek to subvert."

Our 2009 Chickens and Their 2010 Roost

Victor Davis Hanson " In other words, 2009 may seem to have ended relatively quietly. But in our foreign relations, in the war against terror, in our massive borrowing, and in our energy policies, we created chickens that will come home to roost in 2010."

Enough with the Yemen Terrorist Pipeline

Jennifer Rubin "The Obami are a stubborn lot. Even new and troubling evidence regarding the inanity of releasing dangerous Guantanamo detainees cannot shake them from their fixation with closing the facility. ....“Close Guantanamo!” was a campaign slogan devised with little information and pronounced in the heady opening days of the new Obama administration, before the commander in chief could survey the obvious political and practical problems of shuttering a secure, humane facility that could indefinitely hold those who would surely, if given the chance, return to kill more Americans."

"13 Attorney Generals(sic) Threaten Lawsuits Over Senate Health Care Bribes"

Gateway Pundit "The letter was signed by top prosecutors in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Michigan, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington state. All are Republicans, and McMaster and the attorneys general of Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania are running for governor in their respective states."

Barack Obama and the Exhausted Presidency

BigGovernment "One fact is emblematic. Obama managed to get elected editor of The Harvard Law Review without having to do what all of his predecessors did — which is to write an article of a quality that would allow it to be published in the journal. With the one exception mentioned above, his political races have been easy. Events consistently broke in his favor. He has never really been tested — until now. And, of course, now he finds himself in over his head. Obama’s difficulties are of his own making, and they arise from his failure thus far to recognize what it means to be President of the United States."

Prayers for a friend

Hot Air "I have a different perspective on Rush, based on our very first interaction, which had nothing at all to do with politics. Rush allowed me to share this story over three years ago when it happened, and I’d like to share it with Hot Air readers now while asking them to pray for a speedy recovery for Rush."

Will Fox News be removed from Time-Warner cable line-up?

MediaCoder "The two companies are fighting over the amount that the cable operator should pay Fox stations for the right to retransmit their popular shows, sporting events and local newscasts. Fox is demanding about a dollar per cable subscriber per month; Time Warner Cable calls that amount “excessive.”"

What Ben Nelson didn’t tell Nebraskans

Reuters "Suddenly down some 30 points to a hypothetical 2012 challenger, Ben “60th vote” Nelson — a guy who won his 2006 race with 64 percent — is taking to the airwaves to explain his decision to vote for ObamaCare. But in a TV spot, Nelson failed to tell his fellow Nebraskans that while the Senate bill supposedly improves the U. S. fiscal picture, it employs some Enron-esque bookkeeping tricks to get there."
