Dressing Up Standards, Dumbing Down Schools
Big Government "Beware of politicians and expert educators bearing standards, the last seventy years or more of Progressive education should have taught us. But we are slow to learn."
Obami* Pushing Israel to Act Unilaterally?
Commentary Quoting Bill Kristol:"The only things that can stop the Iranian nuclear program are — would be the success of the green movement in Iran, which the Obama administration has done nothing to help and remains incredibly indifferent to and standoffish to on the one hand, or military action on the other, which the Obama administration seems uninterested in doing and I’m afraid is setting up a situation where Israel will feel it has to act." Jennifer Rubin *Obami: Servants of Obama
Obama Spares Us From Energy Independence; Ignorant MSM Cheers
Big Journalism "Rather than news coverage heralding how one area or another will be “spared “ from offshore drilling, I’d rather see coverage on how offshore drilling can spare us all from the problems caused by surrendering American energy independence."

Easter, MSNBC-Style: Network's Facebook Page Features Crucifix Juxtaposed With Man Hooded in White
Newsbusters "Of all the images to accompany its Facebook feature on "Easter observances and celebrations from around the world," MSNBC chose the one displayed here."
Progressives can't get past the Knowledge Problem
Washington Examiner "...While we rightly fear a too-powerful government, this regulatory knowledge problem will ensure plenty of public stumbles and embarrassments, helping to remind people that those who seek to rule us really don't know what they're doing.
If that doesn't encourage skepticism toward big government, it's hard to imagine what will." Glenn Harlan Reynolds
The Democrats' Fake Hate Crime
Mark Steyn "Isn't that what societies with functioning media used to call "a story"?
Apparently not. As they did at Duke, the brain-dead press went along with it - and so, predictably enough, did much of the Republican leadership."

Remembering the Holocaust
CNS News "At the end of the [Holocaust] museum tour is a section called “From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide.” Its purpose is to direct the righteous anger and indignation (elicited from viewing the horrors of the Holocaust throughout the museum) from emotions to action. Thus, the display encourages visitors to fight modern genocides in the world. As you might’ve guessed, abortion is never mentioned." Kortney Blythe
An Easter People: The Centrality of the Resurrection
CNS News "Without the resurrection, the Christian religion would be cruelly deceitful. And far from being a great moral teacher, Jesus would be a malicious charlatan.During this Easter season, we do well to confront the claims of Jesus Christ. We should run with Peter and John to the tomb to see if it is really empty. If it is not, then we should grab all the gusto we can in order to anesthetize us from hopelessness and despair. If it is, we can sing “Alleluia!” for the curse has been broken, death has been defeated, and life eternal is available to those who believe." Ken Connor
