Part of the problem, of course, is the refusal to hold the Black Lives Matter crowd and their leftist enablers to account.<\/span><\/p>\n

All lives matter.  It follows that black lives matter, including the lives of the peaceful, law-abiding, hard-working black residents of Ferguson, Missouri.  And because these black lives matter, it matters that laws be enforced.  All reasonable laws from traffic laws to laws against looting and arson.<\/span><\/p>\n

As if to prove once again that that there is no coward like a university administrator, Smith College President Kathleen McCartney, after having said in an e-mail to students that all lives matter, has retracted her statement and apologized<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horribile dictu<\/em>.  And yet another proof that the universities of the land, most of them, have turned  into leftist seminaries and hothouses of political correctness.  And yet another example of abdication of authority by those in positions of authority. <\/span><\/p>\n

And so I pinch myself once again.  Am I awake?  Or is this all a bad dream?  Could this stuff really be happening?<\/span><\/p>\n

Memo to President McCartney:  grow a pair, or the female equivalent thereof.  You don't apologize for speaking the truth; you stand up for the truth and fight back against the the foolish know-nothings whom you are supposed to be 'educating.'<\/span><\/p>\n

A more recent case<\/a> is that of Martin O'Malley who after proclaiming the self-evident "All lives matter"  apologized for his 'insensitivity' to people who parade around chanting "Pigs in a blanket! Fry 'em like bacon!"<\/span><\/p>\n

Disgusting. Pathetic.  Never apologize to scumbags and thugs.  Never grovel before evil doers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
