Matt Barber: Starbucks Spills Coffee On Its Crotch
A PC backfire. Espresso makes you hyper. When you’re hyper you sometimes make rash decisions. When you make rash decisions you usually regret it. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz evidently chugged a Venti-five-shot-double-pump-skinny-vanilla-latte last week before announcing Starbucks’ new “RaceTogether” public relations stunt. As he ... MOREWalter E Williams: Selma And Voting Rights
Today's problem not about discrimination. March 7th was the 50th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," the first attempt by black protesters to march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery to demand voting rights. Their march was brutally halted by Alabama state troopers acting under the orders of Gov. George Wallace. The protesters weren't ... MOREWalter E Willliams: Shame
Poetic victimization is politically correct. Today's liberals are not racists, but they often behave that way. They would benefit immensely from considering some of the arguments in award-winning scholar Dr. Shelby Steele's forthcoming book, "Shame: How America's Past Sins Have Polarized Our Country." Steele, a senior fellow at the Hoover ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
Pearls of wisdom. Now that Barack Obama is ruling by decree, he seems more like a king than a president. Maybe it is time we change the way we address him. "Your Majesty" may be a little too much, but perhaps "Your Royal Glibness" might be appropriate. It tells us a lot about academia that the president of Smith College quickly ... MOREThomas Sowell: Who's Responsible?
Playing fast and loose with the race card. The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police. Those cheap shots ... MOREWalter E Williams: Black Progression And Retrogression
What if racism is not the problem? There is no question, though it's not acknowledged enough, that black Americans have made greater gains, over some of the highest hurdles and in a very short span of time, than any other racial group in mankind's history. What's the evidence? If black Americans were thought of as a nation with their own gross ... MOREWalter E Williams: Should Profiling Be Banned?
Upon further review. Last week, the Obama administration announced new curbs on racial profiling by federal law enforcement. Before deciding whether this is good or bad policy, we might try to develop a description/definition of racial profiling or any other kind of profiling. A good definition of profiling in general is the use of ... MOREThomas Sowell: Racial Quota Punishment
Enabling bad behavior solves nothing. If anyone still has any doubt about the utter cynicism of the Obama administration, a recent agreement between the federal government and the Minneapolis Public Schools should open their eyes. Under the Obama administration, both the Department of Education and the Department of Justice ... MOREWalter E Williams: Educational Fraud
Perpetuating the damage. It would be unreasonable to expect a student with the reading,
writing and computing abilities of an eighth-grader to do well in
college. If such a student were admitted, his retention would require
that the college create dumbed-downed or phantom courses. The University
of North Carolina made this ... MORERogue Pastors Endorse Candidates, But IRS Looks Away
by Rachael Bade. A record number of rogue Christian pastors are endorsing candidates from the pulpit this election cycle, using Sunday sermons to defiantly flout tax rules. Their message to the IRS: Sue me. But the tax agency is doing anything but. Although the IRS was sued itself for not enforcing the law and admitted about 100 churches ... MORERight of Self Defense in Texas Completely Depends on Race
By all means if you're white. In the first stage of what is known as general adaptation syndrome, a recognized natural response among all vertebrates and many other organisms is hyperarousal or acute stress response. In its more recognizable name, the “fight or flight” response is a natural physiological reaction to a perceived harmful event, ... MORESharia Law Compatible With Constitution Says Rep. Waters
by Sara Noble. Political nitwittery on parade. Maxine Waters is under the impression that Shariah Law can be implemented while our U.S. Constitution is in effect. Anyone who disagrees is an Islamophobe and a hater according to her. Last week, the Council of Pakistan Affairs and Islamic
Society of Orange County welcomed Maxine Waters to a ... MORE
"The Police Force Is Watching The People"
by Sheldon Richman. Political philosophy — the libertarian philosophy included — can take you only so far. The libertarian philosophy provides grounds for condemning aggression, that is, the initiation of force, and along with some supplemental considerations, it identifies in the abstract what constitutes aggression, victimhood, and ...
