“If Our Colleges And Universities Do Not Breed Men Who Riot…”
As noted, one of the left’s distinguishing features is to continually rewrite its own violent history, and attribute it and project it onto others. In addition to the slander, it also creates a continual amnesia, or ahistorical attitude on the part of new adherents to it who are so mistaught the history.
…you’re safe.
The gun-grabber religion is amazing in its intensity and irrationality.
…the bell tolls for thee.
Some thoughts on the “killer whale” incident. What I find annoying about it (which the article hints at, but doesn’t make explicit) is all of the commentators repeatedly referring to the animal as “the whale.” O’Reilly made a fool of himself on this last night, when he compared an Orca to Moby Dick. Hint to the media — “killer whales” are not whales. They are the largest member of the family Delphinidae. In other words, they are dolphins.
Not. Some very useful thoughts from Miles O’Brien.
It is a shame how atrociously this has been reported, with all of the nonsensical talk about “ending human spaceflight.” Of course, it’s partly the administration’s fault, by springing it at the last minute. As Miles notes, anyone with their head in the sunlight could see that Constellation (or at least Ares — killing Orion as well was a legitimate surprise) couldn’t survive in the current (or really, any) environment, but it still came as a shock, with an inadequate description of what is to replace it. I hope that this will be rectified in the coming weeks and months.
I just saw a Rasmussen poll that indicates over seventy percent of likely voters think that Congress is doing a “poor” job.
The problem with polls like this is that they’re subject to multiple interpretations (like “right track, wrong track” polls). I’ve thought that the country has been on the wrong track all my life, but it would be stupid to interpret that, during a Republican administration, as an indicator that I’m going to be nutty enough to replace them with Democrats, who would slam down the throttle on the wrong track.
I wonder what people think that Congress’ job is? If you foolishly think that it’s simply to pass legislation, regardless of its benefit to the nation (as many seem to, including many in Congress, who tout their records of bill passing), then you’ll be frustrated by “partisanship” and “gridlock,” that prevents legislation from being passed. On the other hand, if you think their job is to defend the Constitution and to actually solve, rather than create, problems, then you will cheer for their inability to do anything, given that almost anything they’re likely to do will be a disaster. Given the kind of job that they’ve been doing, and are likely to do, I’d approve of them more if they’d stay home. I’d even triple their salaries.
…that don’t ask the right questions. It’s pretty clear that the agenda of these pollsters is to try to persuade us that we actually support the monstrosity that the Dems seem to remain determined to foist on us.
I’m getting more than a little tired of Arnold the RINO decrying hypocrites in his ostensible party, who supposedly rail about the Porkustimulus bill, while going out to cut ribbons at events funded by it and taking credit for them. And yet somehow, he never provides an actual example.
I’m willing to believe that such people exist (Republicans do have some repugnant people in the party, Scharzenegger being quite prominent among them), but if you’re going to damn the party to which you claim to belong in such a way, it would seem that, at a minimum, one should offer some evidence for it. Or admit that one is just blowing it out his…abs. And of course, the press (in this case Greta) never calls him on it.
…to the white people at MSNBC…
If Dramatic Praire Dog doesn’t show, he’ll be the Worst Person In The World.
Like the rest of you, I’m shocked, of course. But I’m sure that this will be front-page news at the New York Times. Not.
