  • Crimes Against Blacks and Nazi Art Thefts

    From a Boston reader: I read your post titled, On Black Reparations after having spent a fair amount of time recently at one of my favorite places, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In the museum, there are signs next to some pieces indicating that their provenance may include Nazi-era acquisitions in World War…

  • On Black Reparations

    Warning to liberals: clear thinking, moral clarity, and political incorrectness up ahead! If you consider any part of the following to be 'racist' or 'hateful' then you are in dire need, not of refutation, but of psychotherapy.  Please seek it for your own good. There is no question but that slavery is a great moral…

  • Victor Davis Hanson on Affirmative Action

    Read it.

  • Ed Schultz Plays the Race Card

     Ed Schultz:  "The Republican Party Stands for Racism." For more examples of leftist scumbaggery, see my Race category. Another example of why calls for civility are silly.  You must not be civil to moral scum.  You must denounce them and their lies.  When they lie about us we must tell the truth about them.  Every…

  • What Card Does the Card-Carrying LIberal Carry?

    Latest example here.  And we are supposed to be civil to these scumbags?  Civility has limits, just like credit cards do, the only exception being the race card whose credit line is unlimited.  Accepted by liberals everywhere.  Don't leave home without it. 

  • Again on “Muslims Attacked Us on 9/11”

    This just over the transom in response to a post from yesterday. Your terminology is technically correct, but what is incorrect with the statement "Muslim extremists attacked us on 911"? One does not have to be ‘politically correct’ to have a desire not to invite misunderstanding of a statement (that it equals: " Muslims-as-a-group attacked…

  • Will Liberals Ever Retire the Race Card?

    Why should they?  As good leftists, they believe the end justifies the means, and their shameless race-baiting is a means conducive to their ends.  It works.  That's why they do it.  They must at some level have an inkling of what vile people they are to employ such a  shabby tactic, but whatever sense of moral…

  • Of Black Holes and Black Hos

    Is 'black hole' code for black ho?  The NAACP seems to think so.  One wonders how many NAACP members could explain what a black hole is.  Hallmark caved and pulled the card.  Disgusting.  All decent people need to stand up against the politically correct lunacy of the race-baiting Left. We've been around this block before.  For a…

  • The Left’s Double Standard on Race

    "Comedian Bill Maher stereotypes black people as ghetto hoodlums and there's no outcry. The long-standing racial double standard always shields the left."  Here.

  • Another Round with Reppert on AZ SB 1070: Reasonable Suspicion

    In his most recent post on this topic, Victor Reppert tells us that his "main concern is with the 'reasonable suspicion' clause. That strikes me as horribly vague."  Here is the relevant SB 1070 passage as amended by HB 2162 which contains the clause in question: For any lawful contact stop, detention or arrest made by…

  • Michael Scarpalanda on Arizona Senate Bill 1070

    Craig M. Thompson writes: I have enjoyed your commentary on the current situation in Arizona.  I ran across an interesting article at The Witherspoon Institute on illegal immigration called Arizona, Congress, and the Immigration Mess.   And I was hoping that you might comment on some of the points that he makes against SB 1070.  Thanks for…

  • More on Immigration Law: Arizona House Bill 2162. Response to Reppert

    On Friday, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed HB 2162 which modifies and clarifies SB 1070 which was signed into law the week before.  Here is a passage from 1070 which is constantly misrepresented in the liberal press, including the Arizona Republic newspaper: FOR ANY LAWFUL CONTACT MADE BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR…

  • More on Arizona Senate Bill 1070

    Joseph A.  e-mails: I greatly admire Victor Reppert for a number of reasons – I think the Argument from Reason is pretty amazing and effective when formulated and defended well, and Victor remains one of the most soft-spoken and polite bloggers around. Agreed. But a number of thoughts occurred to me when reading his and…

  • The Card Carrying Liberal

    What card does one need to carry to count as liberal these days? Why, the race card!  Accepted everywhere.  Don't leave home without it.

  • More Slander and Scumbaggery from the Dems: Steve Cohen D-TN

    All these leftist haters have is the race card.  Unbelievable.
