But Glenn Beck Is The Crazy One

Wargaming the Tea Party;

As one retired military guy I talked to said, “This is the ultimate mission creep. The Pentagon bright boys understand that we’re not going to have the money anymore to project force overseas so they’re planning to fight in the one place that doesn’t require it: ‘the Homeland’, which is a damned socialist term anyway.”
What strikes me is that this retired big-brain colonel has so little grasp of reality that he should choose the Tea Parties and “extremist militias” for his offensive action scenario. I guess it must be true what folks have been saying for some time — that white Christian “bitter clingers” are the only politically correct evil enemy anymore.

It’s long, but keep reading.

The Sad Fate of Smokers in 2012

This photo was taken last weekend at the Oregon International Airshow in Metro Portland:

First smokers were confined to one area of an establishment. Then they were asked to smoke just outside. Then they were told to smoke down the street. Now they’re corralled into little pens for all to see. Bad, bad smokers.
This is a prime example of the slippery slope of any issue that the Left grabs hold of and people don’t push back on. Any wonder why the NRA won’t compromise on even the smallest issue?

American Teachers Are Now Racists?

The Obama administration has pinpointed a new hotbed of racism:

President Johnson was calling on Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act in order to end the South’s century-long obstruction of black suffrage. What was the pervasive racial injustice that led Duncan to present himself as a modern-day Johnson? Black elementary and high school students are disciplined at a higher rate than whites are. To Duncan, that disparity can mean only one thing: schools are discriminating.
And so the Departments of Education and Justice have launched a campaign against disproportionate minority discipline rates, which show up in virtually every school district with significant numbers of black and Hispanic students. The possibility that students’ behavior, not educators’ racism, drives those rates lies outside the Obama administration’s conceptual universe. But the country will pay a high price for the feds’ blindness, as the cascade of red tape and lawsuits emanating from Washington will depress student achievement and enrich advocates and attorneys for years to come.

Now that teachers are, themselves, being called racist, one wonders if their support for the Democrat Party will change in the voting booth?
