The essence of Obamism distilled: "As the executive order I am signing makes clear, we are seeking more affordable, less intrusive means to achieve the same ends—giving careful consideration to benefits and costs. This means writing rules with more input from experts, businesses and ordinary citizens. It means using disclosure as a tool to inform consumers of their choices, rather than restricting those choices."

Republicans rail about the liberal media's efforts to enforce political correctness, but lack even a quarter teste's worth of the balls to face up to their own clearly deranged thought police. Eric Cantor And The Birthers | The New Republic www.tnr.com

 

 

Speaking of political correctness, let us not forget the European Left, who so profoundly betrays with their every expressed thought the wish that Hitler had finished the job so as to relive them of any inconvenience.

And yet, none dare call it Anti-Semitism.

Of course not, because after all, Arabs are Semites too (WhackaJew, whackaJew)

August Bebel called anti-Semitism “The Socialism of Fools;” the Guardian just calls it “Socialism” and embraces it.

If Israel's first Prime Minister, a Socialist collective farmer born David Green, were alive today, he'd turn over in his grave.

And then the Guardian would condone that grave being turned over to someone who would deface it. Palestine papers: the Holy Basin | Just Journalism justjournalism.com

Although my disdain for the State Senate Democrats is no secret, one can hardly say I’ve been overly enthusiastic about Jeff Klein’s Paleface Caucus. Yet in demanding the right to seat the Palefaces as they please, the Senate Democrats have abandoned even the pretense of the moral high ground. Eric Adams argues that it should have be left up to Senate Democratic Conference Leader John Sampson to determine where to seat his members, and I agree. But if Klein and company are unclear about much of their agenda, one things is crystal clear:

They are not Sampson's members.

And Adams’ assertions about gender discrimination are just offensive. The Palefaces basically have the same percentages of women they do The State Senate's Great (Chair) Debate: Updated www.nydailynews.com
