Liberal Trap [Public Education System]

Control over the message; it begins when we drop our children off at school.

. . . We then started paying closer attention to exactly what kind of subject matter was taking place in school. What we discovered was shocking, at least to us. A leftist agenda was taking place so blatantly, it was like a total rewrite of history. . . .

What are we to do about this? This administration is beholding to the Teachers Union, and is plotting a way to make any alternate form of education off limits, thus forcing our children into the public school system where the brainwash is controlled. School vouchers, home schooling, private schools tied to a religion; all on the chopping blocks. Remove all choices from the parents! Is this what we want from our government?

Here is a link to a WAPO story that is a sign of where we are heading under this administration.

Credit Where Credit’s Due

Video: CNN mildly scolds Obama for bow, media for ignoring it

The White House miscalculated on its “no-bow” response. CNN spends a couple of minutes calling them on it — and giving profuse credit to Hot Air while doing so. Take a close look at the video shots in this Jeanne Moos segment, which aired this morning, and you’ll recognize my handiwork, especially in the part where CNN compares the bow to Saudi King Abdullah and the correct protocol of a head nod to the shorter Queen Elizabeth (hat tip: HA reader Geoff A)

Instead of just acknowledging an error, Robert Gibbs lied about it, and all but dared the media to report it. CNN isn’t the only media outlet taking the challenge, either. The Chicago Sun-Times scolds Obama for his display, now that the White House tried to spin it

Heads of state do not bow to other heads of state. Abdullah didn’t reciprocate with a bow to Obama, for instance, and none of the other heads of state in the original video did so much as a shoulder incline. It’s the act of a rank amateur, a man unprepared to represent a nation as head of state. Thankfully, a few people have begun to notice it.

Iowa Judges Have Imposed Gay Marriage On A State That Voted Against It

Fiction and Faction
Once a compact between the American people and the government they created, the Constitution is being used as a weapon against both.

The Iowa Supreme Court claims that equal protection under the law, the principle employed to foist its social-justice vision on Iowans, has no fixed standards but changes with the sensibilities of each generation. That’s absurd. Constitutions embody enduring values. That is why they prescribe elaborate, supermajority procedures for their amendment. They are the permanent social contract. Consequently, modifications are not legitimate unless they represent a societal consensus.

No, insists Iowa’s judges. The meaning of equal protection changes whenever “the conviction of one, or many, individuals” holds “that a particular grouping results in inequality” — at which point “the judicial system” is free to ignore “the influences that tend to make society’s understanding of equal protection resistant to change.”

“How High Did It Go?”

NoKo missile, UN Security Council both duds

In the end, maybe it was better to have North Korea demonstrate its ineptitude at rocket science.  According to every source but Pyongyang, the latest version of the Taepodong-2 had as much success as its predecessor in reaching orbit: none.  The failure undermines yet again the inability of North Korea to mount a legitimate threat against the US, but it wasn’t the only display of impotence this weekend

The UN once again proves its uselessness in enforcing international agreements. People criticized the US and the Bush administration for invading Iraq and deposing Saddam Hussein, but the UN — and specifically Russia and China — left us no choice. Had the UN taken Saddam’s violations of 17 UNSC resolutions seriously (and had they not participated in the multibillion-dollar corruption of the Oil-for-Food program), Saddam and his sons would have left the stage years before, and we could have been rebuilding Iraq in the 1990s. Now the UNSC can’t even be bothered to issue resolutions when tinpot dictators defy them.

Echo Of Europe

Sixty-one years to the day after Truman signed the Marshall Plan rebuilding war-torn Europe, President Obama apologizes to French youth for U.S. arrogance. Our defense of freedom is no shame.

Read Full Article

But is multilateralism really the great hope for the future that the president and his French and German devotees are convinced it is?

"We just emerged from an era marked by irresponsibility," the president claimed in reference to the global financial crisis.

But when he flaunts his "excellent meeting with President Medvedev of Russia" to begin the reduction of U.S. and Russian nuclear stockpiles with the claim that working with Moscow will "give us greater moral authority to say to Iran, 'don't develop a nuclear weapon,' to say to North Korea, 'don't proliferate nuclear weapons,' " isn't he actually embarking on a new era of naive foreign policy irresponsibility?

The Russia and Communist China the president wants to "partner" with are directly responsible for giving Iran and North Korea the nuclear expertise and equipment that have empowered those two oppressive terror states to pursue the ability to incinerate a city.

The last thing our sometime friends and allies across the pond need is a U.S. president bemoaning America's role in the world and serving as an echo chamber to those in Europe who would like to see us weakened or irrelevant.

Both Parts, Apparently

What part of “support and defend the Constitution” does Holder not understand?

All federal officials take this oath before assuming their duties, including the Attorney General of the United States.  Eric Holder took that oath roughly two months ago, but apparently he’s already forgotten it.  Despite a ruling from the Office of Legal Counsel that the DC voting rights bill violates the Constitution, Holder has ordered his staff to find ways to get it into law anyway

So why is Holder bucking the OLC and trying to subvert the normal checks on DoJ actions?  He claims that his interpretation of the bill supercedes that of the OLC.  However, what’s really at stake is the appeasement of DC voters and the Democratic Party, which has tried to get the law passed without the necessary and politically impossible task of amending the Constitution to allow for it.  Democrats want more voting power in Congress and want to throw a sop to the Congressional Black Caucus, which has long demanded action on DC voting rights.  The Obama administration apparently has no qualms about acting unconstitutionally to get it for them.
