It’s just policy differences

Posted by Richard on December 20, 2007

Unbe-frickin-lievable. Muslim students at the University of California Irvine campus have:

  • harassed, intimidated, and assaulted Jews (verbally and physically)
  • called for the slaughter of Jews
  • held speeches and distributed literature preaching hatred of Jews
  • repeatedly defaced property with swastikas
  • destroyed a Holocaust memorial

Federal law requires recipients of federal money to undertake efforts to end discrimination based on race or ethnicity, so the Zionist Organization of America filed a federal complaint alleging that the school, by failing to take disciplinary action against the perpetrators of such acts, had not met this obligation. The feds have rejected the complaint (emphasis added):

The Office of Civil Rights, which operates under the auspices of the Department of Education, said in a report released last week that some Muslim student activities were offensive to Jewish students.

But the report concludes the speeches, marches and other activities were based on opposition to Israeli policies, not the national origin of Jewish students.

Oh, sure, calling Jews dogs and pigs, throwing rocks at them, and insisting that Allah wants them all killed — those things may be offensive to some people, but they're really just expressions of disagreement over political issues. Move along folks, no discrimination to see here.

How utterly disgusting.

Thompson smear discredited

Posted by Richard on December 20, 2007

Speaking of Fred Thompson, reporter Roger Simon (not to be confused with novelist, screenwriter, and blogger Roger L. Simon, who, unlike his reporter namesake, is an honest and honorable man) posted a nasty hit piece on the presidential candidate at Politico. Unfortunately for him, he forgot that nowadays bloggers will fact-check his ass. And the video that proves him a liar is available on the Internet.

Dan Riehl set the record straight quickly (and posted the video), and Jimmie at The Sundries Shack did a nice job of bitch-slapping reporter/liar Roger Simon (not to be confused with the novelist, … etc.). Be sure to watch the video and compare it to Simon's description. This is the kind of dishonest crap that the MSM feeds you all the time.

Liberals lose budget battle

Posted by Richard on December 20, 2007

First the bad news: the Democratic leadership in Congress is more socialist, more dedicated to expanding government, more spendthrift, and more crazy than ever. Now the good news: they're also less bright and less competent.

On issue after issue, they've apparently been outmaneuvered by a relatively small number of principled, limited-government Republicans (with limited support from their leadership) and forced to back down on several issues by a lame-duck president who suddenly (six years late) found the cojones to exercise his veto and make at least some effort to exercise fiscal discipline.

Martin Kady II and Ryan Grim have a pretty good analysis at Politico of what's been going on and who caved on what. One of the really hopeful signs (from my perspective) for the future is that Democrats are starting to fight amongst themselves, as the more hard-core leftists and various special interests become increasingly frustrated at their party's lack of "progress."

Between Democrats' growing disunity and the slightly greater amount of backbone (and diminished proclivity for corruption) exhibited by Republicans when they're in the minority, we may be in for a truly wonderful level of gridlock, where not much legislating — and harm to the country — gets done.
