Explosive: Obama’s Mentor Derrick Bell on ‘Jewish Neoconservative Racists’
John Podhoretz at Commentary on the controversy unleashed by the Breitbart.com video: Michael Powell of the New York Times reflected conventional opinion in liberal media circles when he tweeted: “Derrick Bell, Radical? We’re to pretend our history cleansed? He fought 4 Civil Rights in Mississippi.” It is incumbent on Powell and others, if they want […]
Busted by Twitchy: @Soledad_OBrien Loves Her Some ‘Critical Race Theory’
Hey, remember when CNN’s Soledad O’Brien melted down on TV and tried to depict Joel Pollak as a racist? Wasn’t that awesome? Well, here’s some more awesomeness: Much like Barack Obama, Soledad O’Brien is a huge fan of Professor Derrick Bell, the “critical race theory” guy the Breitbart.com video was all about. The Internet doesn’t forget, and […]
In Support Of DNI Clapper
by Smitty Kerry Patton, over at Breitbart.com, ought to know better: chess is not poker. On February 16th, Director Clapper released yet another intelligence gap-laden threat assessment for the Senate Committee on Armed Services. In the thirty-one page threat assessment, not once does it mention the terrorist group Hezbollah or any of Iran’s asymmetric militant […]
Mead Seeks Technical Solutions To Existential Problems
by Smitty I’m still waiting for Walter Russell Mead to get down to brass tacks. In this third installment, Mead sounds like he thinks shiny gadgets are going to fix everything.

Walter Russell Mead On Liberalism
by Smitty His article is long enough to merit a hard copy and several reads, but here is one of the meatier portions, emphasis mine: There are several ugly truths that the country (and especially those states whose governments are bigger and bluer than the rest) must soon face. One concerns taxes. The debate today […]
The False Dilemma Fallacy: Mitt or Newt? The Devil or the Deep Blue Sea?
Jeff Foxworthy says that, as a Southerner, the minute you open your mouth, people deduct 15 points from your IQ score. It’s a joke that’s funny because it’s so true. People automatically associate Southern accents with stereotypical backwoods hicks, and so I’ve spent my whole life being underestimated by Yankee smart-asses who think they know […]
Amanda Marcotte Has a Conniption Over the Rights of … Shemale Scouts?
You can’t make up stuff as weird as this. In Colorado, a 7-year-old boy named Bobby who thinks he’s a girl wanted to joined the Girl Scouts and was initially rejected. But then the Girl Scout council changed its mind and declared, “If a child identifies as a girl and the child’s family presents her […]
Exploring ‘Explaining Postmodernism’ By Stephen Hicks 6: Four Whore’s Men
by Smitty The stunning conclusion. The Four Whore’s Men of the Apocalypse If there was any redeeming value in the thought of their predecessors, then Michel Foucault, Jean-François Lyotard, Jacques Derrida, and Richard Rorty scuttled it. God save their souls, and damn their ‘ideas’. These chaps have done Western civilization no favors whatsoever. Let their […]
