RANTINGS FROM A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL TEACHER

Boortz "This rant took place at a La Raza rally at UCLA in California. The speaker is a man by the name of Ron Gochez. He is a history teacher at a government high school in California. This man is making a living from U.S. taxpayers. In just a minute you're going to be really ticked off about that. So we have a government school teacher, speaking at a La Raza rally. Are you ready for his rant?"...."This government school teacher went on to say that there are more than 40 million of "our people" north of the Rio Grande - "that means more than 40 million potential revolutionaries North of the border, inside the belly of the beast." "
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!  It seems a child in an art class was drawing a picture of the American Flag. The teacher told the student that she couldn't draw the flag because it was "offensive." Another student drew a picture of Barack Obama and was told what a beautiful picture it was."
Is America Conquered When the American Flag Is 'Offensive'? There is not now, nor has there ever been, any such land called "Aztlan." The American Southwest was never ruled by the Aztecs. And Mexico's jurisdiction over these territories lasted a mere ten years, owing in part to the historic Spanish presence.

U.S. Urges Action in Pakistan After Failed Bombing

NY Times " The new pressure from Washington was characterized by both the Pakistani and American officials as a sharp turnaround from the relatively polite encouragement adopted by the Obama administration in recent months. And it comes amid increasing debate within the administration about how to expand the American military’s influence — and even a boots-on-the-ground presence — on Pakistani soil."  Via Heritage

Former Attorney General Ed Meese on Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan

Heritage "Former Attorney General Ed Meese released the following statement: 

"First and foremost, any nominee to a lifetime appointment to the United States Supreme Court must demonstrate a thorough fidelity to apply the Constitution as it was written, rather than as they would like to re-write it. Given Solicitor General Kagan’s complete lack of judicial experience, and, for that matter, very limited litigation experience, Senators must not be rushed in their deliberative process. Because they have no prior judicial opinions to look to, Senators must conduct a more searching inquiry to determine if Kagan will decide cases based upon what is required by the Constitution as it is actually written, or whether she will rule based upon her own policy preferences."...

Kagan had rapid ascent to high court nomination "As dean of the Harvard Law School, Kagan's hiring of young conservative scholars "sent a strong signal to conservative alumni that, despite her own party affiliation, she was committed to intellectual diversity and meritocracy at the law school," said Harvard alumnus and former Bush administration lawyer Brad Berenson"
Kagan, the Harvard Ban on Military Recruiters, and Anti-Military Bias "In sum, Kagan’s support of a ban on military recruiters is legitimately subject to severe criticism. Senators should certainly question her about it. But I don’t see any reason to believe that it reflects any general hostility towards the armed forces." Um, OK, I guess.

Obama will let you know who his enemies are

Neal Boortz "It is clear that Obama wants the government to have more control of the Internet. Despots always feel the need to control sources of information. In this quest I want him to fail. Obama wants the government to have complete control over America's health care delivery system. I want him to fail. Obama wants fascist-style regulatory control over American business. Again, I want him to fail. Obama wants to prevent another Islamist terrorist attack on our country (though he won't say "Islamist,") I want him to succeed."

Unbelievable… Seniors Not Allowed to Pray Before Meals at Nursing Home

Gateway Pundit "Senior citizens are no longer allowed to pray before meals at the Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah, Georgia. Local officials say the meals are now provided with federal money and therefore the seniors are not allowed to pray before meals."   Who thinks up these rules anyway?

When will Janet Napolitano be held accountable?

Mark Hemingway "This morning, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the administration now believed that Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad planned his attack at the behest of the Pakistani Taliban. That's quite an about face, considering that earlier in the week Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asserted probably Shahzad acted alone. "

The Big Alienation

Patriot Post  "The fastest-growing demographic in America is the Hispanic vote, and if either party cracks down on illegal immigration, it risks losing that vote for generations. But while the Democrats worry about the prospects of the Democrats and the Republicans about the well-being of the Republicans, who worries about America? No one. Which the American people have noticed, and which adds to the dangerous alienation — actually it's at the heart of the alienation — of the age.  Peggy Noonan

The Success of the Times Square Terrorist

Max Boot "In a way, then, such low-level attacks as the one in Times Square are actually more useful to terrorists than more successful bombings: they create terror but avoid a serious backlash."

Surprising Guests in a Russian Parade: American Troops

NY Times "Never before in history have active-duty American troops been invited to march in the Victory Day parade, according to the United States military. The occasion is the 65th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, a date that carries an almost sacred meaning in Russia. Russian leaders have taken pains to explain that the Americans — along with contingents from Britain, France and Poland — were invited as representatives of the “anti-Hitler coalition.”

The Appalling Media Double Standard on Reporting Political Violence

Pajamas Media   "The message from the media was clear: any violence against their liberal allies will be broadcast far and wide, and any threat or slur will be published as fact, no matter how dubious the claim. The reverse, sadly, is not true, and that is not a recent development. While the media is all over the recent bombing attempt in Times Square, they quickly swept the 2008 bombing of the Times Square military recruiting station under the rug."   Bob Owens blogs at  Confederate Yankee .

Boycott the boycotters

Ralph Alter "The American Tea Party movement and its sympathizers represent a significant majority of Americans. They have already promised to boycott the Democrat party come November. The mass retirements of incumbent Democrat congressmen suggests that they are getting the message. If the amnesty crowd wants to start playing the boycott card, let's join in and see how things work out."

Putin disinvites Biden to WW II anniversary celebration

American Thinker "Why such a muted response from Mr. Obama and Secretary of State Clinton? They were loud and aggressive in their response to a perceived snub of Mr. Biden by Israel, doesn't this deliberate insult to the vice president merit a similar response? Where is the MSM coverage of this story? It looks like this is yet another curious chapter in the Obama foreign policy pay book."
