The idea that half of us think we’re deprived says more about spiritual emptiness than it does about any financial gap.

Michelle Malkin covers the truth about unions that the MSM simply ignores:
AP Senate intern, a sex offender, faces deportation
The Homeland Security Department instructed federal agents not to arrest him until after Election Day, a U.S. official involved in the case told the AP.
We wouldn’t want voters to be swayed by a Democrat’s employment of an illegal alien sex offender until after he’s safely elected, would we?

NBC reports that a man was fatally stabbed with a pair of scissors in Harlem.
In a follow-up commentary piece, Bob Costas called for nationwide control of scissors, stating that,
If Saladin Saunders didn’t possess scissors, Keith Warney would be alive today.
Weekly Standard Immelt: Communist China ‘Works’
Um, yeah. No freedom of speech, assembly, or religion. State-forced abortions. Imprisonment of dissidents. Pollution at levels never seen here. Works really well. Not surprising from this administration.

The war on Christmas:
one of the things about the constitution is that it prohibits the involvement of public schools and churches.
Sadly, too many Christians believe this lie and don’t fight back. And who suffers for this idiocy? Truly destitute Africans.
“Salvation Army church services, including charity services, are available only to people ‘who accept and abide by the Salvation Army’s doctrine and discipline,’ which excludes homosexuality,” reads the bill, SB 176.
It should surprise no one that the Left will push such a complete lie in order to further its agenda.
“In the 16 years we have been coming to these conferences, there has been no global warming,” Monckton said
We can’t risk having someone utter the truth in public, now, can we? One of the most common tactics of the Left: silence all dissent.

I’m not a big fan of the “War on Drugs” myself, but don’t expect the DOJ to intervene here. The only time it’s apparently unconstitutional to have a state law conflict with federal law is when Big Brother disagrees with the state law (see AZ).

Townhall:
Another NBC sports analyst let his liberal mindset bleed through on-air. From the network that gave us Keith Olbermann, we shouldn’t be surprised. May we please just watch a football game without being subjected to your drivel?
To finish the half-time roundup during Sunday night’s game, Bob Costas gave us a pious (albeit mercifully brief) diatribe, ending with:
If Jovan Belcher didn’t possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today.
Really? And what great powers of omniscience granted this knowledge?
Christopher Krumm had no gun, but he and his father’s girlfriend are still dead—by his own hand wielding a knife. (He killed his dad with an arrow.)
So what now? Ban knives? Why don’t we just ban kil…oh, yeah. Murder is already illegal. Someone missed the memo.
The truth is that Belcher and his girlfriend did not die because of a gun, but because Belcher chose to end their lives. It’s a story as old as humanity. Cain didn’t have a gun.
But focusing on the weapon allows liberals to avoid placing the blame and responsibility where it truly lies—on the perpetrator. It’s exactly the same tactic of misdirection used by the Left to deny the fact that while we all start this life with varying levels of advantage and privilege, where we end up is mostly a consequence of the choices we make.
It also ignores the underlying cause of every such tragedy: the human race is not good by nature. Man is inherently sinful, and until that root cause is addressed no amount of gun control, education, or income equalization will cure society’s ills.
Hey, I have a brilliant idea! Let’s help the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow the Egyptian government—after all, even though it was stable and at least neutral to the West and Israel, it was run by a dictator. Then the anti-Israel, anti-U.S., and anti-freedom Muslim Brotherhood—granddaddy of those nice chaps in Hamas—can ignore its promise to stay out of the ensuing election and install their guy who will then assume dictatorial power.
What could possibly go wrong?
