I’m a huge Ted Cruz fan. I like the fact that he is willing to admit that the ethanol mandate is bogus and needs to go. I’d love to see him do this, but it would probably be a Bad Move:
He won't do it, but if Cruz walked on dressed as Jake E. Blues, I'm confident that Her Majesty'd be turned to stone. pic.twitter.com/1NVXoctgDN
Let’s just add our voices to the ‘duh’ chorus for Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Hopefully the rank stupidity of a song invoking the Bigger Digger Trigger will lead to a general purging of all such moronic material from two centuries ago. We want to flatter ourselves that these United States got past this trash; thanks for giving Eric Holder ammunition. You don’t give Eric Holder ammunition. He wets himself, literally and orally. Instapundit writes in USA Today:
You may think it’s unfair for me to treat [the racist chants and the subsequent expulsions] as comparable, and if you do think that you’re right: The difference is that David Boren broke the law, while the [Sigma Alpha Epsilon] brothers merely behaved badly.
As a state institution, the University of Oklahoma is constrained by the Constitution. Among other things, that means that it must respect the free speech guarantees contained in the First Amendment, even if that speech is repugnant. Just because the university doesn’t like what students say, thinks it’s hateful, or worries that it will produce an unpleasant atmosphere on campus, doesn’t grant it the authority to punish people for speaking. One would think that Boren — a former U.S. senator who took an oath to uphold the Constitution when he was sworn into office — would know better. Apparently not.
Here’s the idea: form a gangsta rap cover act, and go on tour. Cover well-known outbursts of racism, misogyny, anti-police hatred, and generally Holder-esque stupidity. For a sample of the desired form, see:
Let the Left figure out how to deal with the dissonance of such a rank stream of foolishness, which Commie rags like Rolling Stone have been giving five stars for years, coming from the bad boys of OU.
Meanwhile, The Alpha Epsilon Stigma can be just the kind of extended self-denunciation we need to keep the Racism Industrial Complex at bay.
I probably shouldn’t be such a mocker, but to have such a public figure as Brian Williams completely debase their integrity merits having abuse heaped about the head and shoulders.
I put on the spandex & platform heels and subbed for Gene Simmons for a few shows on the Love Gun tour. #brianwilliamsmemories
Is it true that I was Racer X back in those Speed Racer cartoons? Yeah, guilty. #brianwilliamsmemories — IGotOverMachoGrande (@smitty_one_each) February 5, 2015
Could Williams be as fake as BHO’s college transcripts?
I was in class at Columbia in ’83 with this Barack dude. I’m all: “Genius! This guy is totally Presidential timber.” #BrianWilliamsMemories
