Obama Is Right: His Administration Is Characterized By “Sloppiness”
As usual, Obama was too kind to himself. The Senate has just issued a report harshly critical of the White House, Pentagon, and State Department handling of Benghazi. The White House response? Oh, it was “just some sloppiness.” Although there is a lot of competition, this may be one of the most offensive thing our […]
Obama On Guns II: Misinformed Automatic Semi-Automatic Prevaricator
A week ago I argued that all of Obama’s comments on guns and gun control reveal him to be an “automatic semi-automatic prevaricator” — semi-automatic because “they happen only one at a time ever time he opens his mouth.” Of course it’s possible I’m giving him too much credit. He may not be lying. He […]
Cops In Schools
“Communities throughout the nation recognize that trained, sworn law enforcement officers assigned to schools make a difference.” Sounds like some zany right wing plan proposed by the National Rifle Association, no? No. It’s the justification for the COPS in Schools program started by the Clinton Justice Department and continued in the Bush and Obama Justice Departments. By […]
Britain’s Murderous Hospitals
InstaPundit cites Iowahawk‘s claim that “A Briton is 5 times more likely to die from government health care than an American is to die from a gunshot,” citing this source, which quoted reports based on 2009 data revealing that because of errors there are “nearly 12,000 preventable deaths in hospitals in England every year.” According to […]
Armed Teachers
About a week before the NRA suggested armed guards in schools, I proposed … armed guards in schools. Now, however, The Atlantic reports on the growing popularity of a movement that may make armed guards in schools unnecessary: trained and armed teachers.
Obama On Guns: Automatic Semi-Automatic Prevaricator
Ann Althouse has a nice post approvingly quoting some of the more or less moderate-sounding comments Obama made during the recent campaign regarding guns, although she does make the surprising error of appearing to take him seriously. She also failed to mention his misstatements — whether simply ignorant or slyly calculated to misinform and inflame — […]
Liberal Hypocrisy On Guns
Almost a week before the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre made himself the most hated man in America (even more hated, I’m sure, than Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook shooter, would be if he were still alive) by proposing assigning armed guards to schools, I proposed here — you guessed it — assigning armed guards to schools. […]
Puzzled Penn Politics Professor
To see what puzzles Penn politics professor Adolph Reed, author of an offensively atrocious OpEd in the New York Times today, please read my “Short Take” at Minding The Campus, Puzzled Penn Politics Professor.
Steinberg: Gun Control Starts At Home
Neil Steinberg, a columnist, for the Chicago Sun Times, has an idea about to begin gun control. He doesn’t like guns, and like all good liberals thinks other people own too many of them, but as a lark he wanted to get a concealed carry permit (now that the Seventh Circuit has told Illinois it […]
Is There An Emerging “Reverse Diversity” Backlash?
[NOTE: Cross-Posted on College Insurrection] I’ve argued too many times to cite that there is no such thing as “reverse discrimination,” a term some apply to the race-based burdens affirmative action places on many Asians, some whites, and others in un-favored groups. A policy, program, behavior, whatever either discriminates on the basis of race, or […]
