Civil rights are much discussed lately, primarily because Progressives with bully-pulpits are furious that Glenn Beck held a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous civil rights rally at that same location. To hear them tell it, in the wake of the “Civil Rights Movement,” civil rights are […]

Some “Summer of recovery.” Al Sharpton is one of America’s most successful shakedown artists and even he can’t pay his bills. An accounting firm hired by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network found the civil-rights group in such financial disarray that it flunked its record-keeping — and may not even survive, The Post has learned. …The […]

It’s not a secret that the once great NAACP has become little more than a generally useless left-wing organization that works to gin up and amplify racial strife for fun, profit, and political rewards. Unfortunately for the NAACP, America’s not a racist country any more, so it often has to REALLY stretch to find things […]

* Are newsrooms racist because they’re mostly white? * Is Kos’ Netroots Nation racist because it’s mostly white? * Are the Senate Democrats racist because their caucus is mostly white? * If the crowd at an opera is mostly white, does that make it racist? * How about a rap concert? Is Jay-Z a racist […]

As you may have heard, Joseph Farah at WorldNetDaily has been bragging that he dumped Ann Coulter from a WorldNetDaily convention. This was supposedly over Ann Coulter speaking at Homocon — and of course, Right Wing News is also sponsoring the event. Initially, I wasn’t going to comment on it at all because I knew […]

Have you heard of Project 21? If not, you should get acquainted with them because they’re conservative, effective, and in-your-face. For example, take a look at this press release from Project 21 that takes aim at the NAACP: NAACP Asked to Fulfill Pledge to Repudiate Racial Slurs Against Black Conservative Washington, D.C. – The NAACP […]

As Barack Obama’s popularity has continued to dip and the transparently self-serving cries of racism have reached a crescendo, complaints about bigotry in America have become ever more laughable. My personal fave of late is Jesse Jackson’s breathless claim that Cav’s owner Dan Gilbert was treating Lebron James like a “runaway slave.” However, lily white […]

Here is the number that I find downright dismaying: Over 200,000 National Security Letters have been sent–all of them with gag orders. Read this from Wired and be alarmed: A national security letter is an informal administrative letter the FBI can use to secretly demand customer records from ISPs, financial institutions, libraries, insurance companies, travel […]

The cornerstone of liberty is the right to private property. It’s yours. The government doesn’t own it. It can’t take it. It’s yours. Since Kelo, though, private property has become passé..at least in some states. From the Eminent Domain Law Blog: According to the 2010 Index of Economic Freedom published by The Heritage Foundation and […]

Shirley Sherrod, who seems to spend most of her time accusing everyone who doesn’t agree with her of being racist, is going to try to sue Andrew Breitbart, Ousted USDA employee Shirley Sherrod says she will sue conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, the Associated Press reports. Sherrod made the announcement Thursday in San Diego at the […]

It’s fascinating to see Shirley Sherrod being lionized as some sort of hero because after she racially discriminated against a white farmer, she had a change of heart. Would any conservative be treated as a hero for doing the same thing or would the Left sneer and refuse to believe that she changed her stripes? […]

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, let’s take it from the beginning. The NAACP decided to smear the Tea Party as racists. Like many Americans, Andrew Breitbart didn’t take kindly to something that has become a daily ritual during the Obama Administration — conservatives being falsely denounced as racists. However, unlike most other […]

One of the fascinating things about Jesse Jackson is that there’s a complete mismatch between the level of holy terror he generates in politicians & corporations and the actual amount of real world influence he has. The myth of Jesse Jackson says he’s a black American leader and if he’s not happy, tens of millions […]
