S E Cupp: Houston Rockets, Emojis & Political Correctness

Stick a fork in us. We are done.    Political correctness has finally corrupted rational thought and common sense to the point that garden variety sports trash talk is a firing offense. Consider the case of Chad Shanks. He was hired to grow the Houston Rockets’ social media presence. By all accounts, Shanks had done a good job, posting edgy   ... MORE

L. Brent Bozell: Here Come the Indian Mascot Killers

Scalping free speech.    Anyone who thinks the cultural left is going to stop its political correctness with the Washington Redskins isn't reading USA Today. On the top of their Sports front page on July 22, the paper reported on activists taking a stand against "redface," championing a group called Eradicating Offensive Indian Mascotry. The thought   ...

How Political Correctness Is Destroying America

Michael Snyder provides 19 shocking examples.       If you say the “wrong thing” in America today, you could be penalized, fired or even taken to court.  Political correctness is running rampant, and it is absolutely destroying this nation.  In his novel 1984, George Orwell imagined a future world where speech was greatly restricted.      ...

Peter Grier: Obama Rodeo Clown Gets Banned For Life

How dare he pass federal secrets!      Missouri State Fair officials have banned for life the rodeo clown who wore a President Obama mask while facing bulls at the event over the weekend. The clown in question engaged in an “unconscionable stunt” and will never perform at the Show Me state venue again, the Missouri State Fair Commission said       ...

Walter E Williams: Bit By Bit Strategy

A relentless march of busybodies and tyrants.   There's a move on to prohibit Washington's football team from calling itself "Redskins," even though a 2009 U.S. Supreme Court decision said that it has that right. Now the name change advocates are turning to the political arena and intimidation. The NCAA has already banned the University of    ... MORE

Redskins Owner Vows To Never Change The Name

by Chris Lingebach.    “We’ll never change the name. It’s simple. NEVER.” That’s what Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told USA Today Sports Thursday, with the added caveat, “you can use caps.” Snyder putting his foot down, so to speak, may be what it takes to bring some finality to a debate that’s raged on all offseason over the offensive nature of ...

William N Grigg: Merely Being Arrested Can Ruin You Life

So why an epidemic of unnecessary arrests?  “You never have a ‘right’ to resist arrest,” insists Des Moines-based attorney Harley Erbe (who is wrong, of course). There are two reasons why Mundanes must immediately submit to “commands” issued by the state’s costumed enforcers, Erbe explains: “First, officers’ safety is a paramount    ... MORE

Jacob Sullum: Slandering Muhammad Is Not A Crime

Pandering to Muslims at the expense of free speech. Addressing the U.N. General Assembly last week, President Obama tried to explain this strange attachment that Americans have to freedom of speech. He was handicapped by his attraction to a moral principle whose dangers the journalist Jonathan Rauch presciently highlighted in his 1993 book  ... MORE

The Painful Truth About Affirmative Action

A dishonest system that hurts minorities. Affirmative action in university admissions started in the late 1960s as a noble effort to jump-start racial integration and foster equal opportunity. But somewhere along the decades, it has lost its way. Over time, it has become a political lightning rod and one of our most divisive social policies.       ... MORE

Let's just put it out on the front steps where the goats can get it.

Reminder: TSA Still Asking Women To "Raise Your Skirt"

Thong underwear not recommended for air travel. No, women still haven’t gotten used to this TSA practice.  And it’s still offensive, humiliating, degrading, and makes being a woman an unfortunate preexisting condition (thanks, Nancy!).  The TSA asked a female passenger at Philadelphia International Airport this morning to raise her ...

F H Buckley: Meet The Flukes!

Too many Americans today are "born without a skin."   There’s a uniquely American ritual that has so far escaped the attention of cultural anthropologists. A group of people huddle, near a water cooler perhaps. One of them lowers his head, looks nervously from side to side, and then begins to speak softly, so that no one else might hear. You’ve   ...
