http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10294/pub_detail.asp The specter of Anders Breivik hovers in the minds of so-called progressives, haunting their imaginations and guiding their fingers as they type. Breivik, as you may recall, was the Norwegian extremist who slaughtered 76 people in a bomb attack in Oslo and a shooting spree on the island of Utoya, on July 22 this […]

Gore: Climate Change Opponents Racist Posted By Ben Shapiro URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/01/gore-climate-change-opponents-racist/   Last week, Al  Gore explained to Climate Reality Project advocate Alex Bogusky that anthropogenic climate change believers must “win the conversation” against its opponents.  By winning the conversation, Gore apparently means verbally bludgeoning its opponents into submission by shouting “racist” at […]

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/276021 An unprecedented collaboration between the Obama administration and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC, formerly called the Organization of the Islamic Conference) to combat “Islamophobia” may soon result in the delegitimization of freedom of expression as a human right. The administration is taking the lead in an international effort to “implement” a U.N. resolution […]

Obama and the Burden of Exceptionalism http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904787404576532623176115558.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop

“As a president, Barack Obama has been a force for mediocrity. He has banked more on the hopeless interventions of government than on the exceptionalism of the people. His greatest weakness as a president is a limp confidence in his countrymen. He is afraid to ask difficult things of them.Like me, he is black, and it was the government that in part saved us from the ignorances of the people. So the concept of the exceptionalism—the genius for freedom—of the American people may still be a stretch for him. But in fact he was elected to make that stretch. It should be held against him that he has failed to do so.”

“The Islamic Caliphate as a panacea for the problems caused by Islamic caliphates is about as good an idea as pouring gasoline on a fire. Which is exactly what the Islamists financed by Gulf royals, who can’t help cutting throats even when it’s their own, are doing.You can’t build a country out of sand and a book. Nor out of armies and billions of dollars. The last 70 years testify to that. The reason that Israel works and the Arab world doesn’t is very simple. The Jews retained their identity and their humanity. The perpetrators and victims of Islam who surround them have no roots. Only the sword in their hand and the shifting sand underneath their feet.”

It does create change for Lady Gaga to parade her calculated drek on national television. It creates change among adolescents who watch this nonsense and think that such behavior is acceptable. It creates change among parents who begin treating such behavior as “no big deal.”

This week, the ubiquitously absurd Lady Gaga appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards. Well, actually, she didn’t appear — her alter ego, Jo Calderone, did. Calderone looked frighteningly hideous, with a large coif that looked a good deal like Elvis and a dark brooding look that looked a good deal like crystal meth. Overall, she strongly resembled Sal Mineo in “Rebel Without A Cause.”
