Recently, my family and I went to Disneyland in California. In the California Adventure Park, we watched the otherwise splendid Alladin musical. What disturbed me was that in the chorus was a disabled actress in an electric wheelchair. She had no speaking roles and while her counterparts danced to the music she simply rolled her cart in circles. Having an autistic child, I am happy to see the handicapped perform. However ( and perhaps I am sensitive) I fid it distasteful to have someone one stage just to have gratuitous , politically correct window dressing. Obviously she couldn't play Jasmine...

I haven't heard much lately. Have the Orwellian Journolisters airbrush the story out of existence?

Following up on Bidens critique on the Tea Party Movement as well as the NAACP's resolution condemning the Tea Part's as racist, Nancy Pelosi intends to introduce a resolution calling all criticism of President Obama as racist. Our nations first female Speaker of the House stated " we can not let racists destroy our historical moment". When asked if she would have Attorney General Eric Holder (our first African-American Attorney General) or the IRS prosecute critics of President Obama , she responded that all options are on the table. In the Senate, John Forbes Kerry , who is a Vietnam...

Netanyahu to divide Jerusalem? In an otherwise uneventful speech to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations on Wednesday night, Prime Minister Netanyahu came up with this (Hat Tip: Gershon D). But then, in an off-the-cuff remark to a question on Jerusalem from the audience, Benjamin Netanyahu dropped a hint that his government’s insistence on Israeli sovereignty over all of Jerusalem might not be ironclad. “Everybody knows that there are Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem that under any peace plan will remain where they are,” Netanyahu said in response to the question read by the executive vice chairman of...

Obama: Israelis Suspicious Of Me Because My Middle Name Is Hussein Obama spoke to Israeli Channel 2’s Yonit Levy Washington - U.S. President Barack Obama told Israeli Channel 2 News that he believed Israel would not try to surprise the U.S. with a unilateral attack on Iran. In an interview aired Thursday evening, Obama was asked whether he was concerned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would try to attack Iran without clearing the move with the U.S., to which the president replied “I think the relationship between Israel and the U.S. is sufficiently strong that neither of us try to surprise...

Financial regulation bill dictates ethnic, gender quotas POSTED AT 12:55 PM ON JULY 8, 2010 BY ED MORRISSEY Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Barack Obama insist that the new financial regulation bill pending a vote in the Senate is a necessity to restore stability to troubled markets. Instead, it looks as though Democrats have been more concerned about quota systems than economic growth. Buried deep within the bill is a requirement for all regulatory agencies with jurisdiction in economic arenas to start beancounting based on ethnicity and gender, as Diana Furchtgott-Roth discovered: In addition to this bill’s well-publicized plans to...

At he top of each hour, whenever I liste to Rush/Hannity/Levin, the Obama Broadcasting Company comes on with the news. It strikes me that Compton not only gives the Obama talking points, but also with her out of breath talking style sounds like she is having "tingles". Will the real Anne Compton please stand up!

The Star Spangled Banner’s Fourth Verse Most people only know of the first verse to the National Anthem. Indeed, many probably never even knew there was more than that. Here is the National Anthem in its entirety: Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does...

for the last week or two it is taking a long time to load ( if at all) What gives?

Joel Pollak for Congress in IL-9 Joel Pollak is a Republican running for Congress in Illinois' 9th district against J Street-backed Jan Schakowsky. J Street's leaders argue that they are providing greater space for debate on Israel in Washington and within the Jewish community. That is perhaps a noble goal, but in my experience J Street has yet to prove its commitment to it. Each time I have met J Street members, I have told them I would be happy to address their group if they would invite Rep. Jan Schakowsky as well, so that we could have a real...

ELEVEN DAYS LATE Posted by John at 6:40 PM Earlier today, Janet Napolitano appointed Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen to coordinate the federal response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That's great, but the oil rig blew up eleven days ago, on April 20. In the meantime, the oil slick has tripled in size over the last two days and is approaching the Gulf coast. Now there is speculation that the oil could make its way all the way to the Atlantic. President Obama, reversing an earlier announcement, made hasty plans to visit the Gulf tomorrow....

The real reason liberals accuse Tea Partiers of racism I have said something like this before, but at the risk of being a bore, and because of the times in which we live, I will repeat myself: The real reason liberals accuse Tea Partiers of racism is that contemporary American-style liberalism is in rigor mortis. Liberals have nothing else to say or do. Accusations of racism are their last resort. The European debt crisis — first Greece, then Portugal and now Spain (and Belgium, Ireland and Italy, evidently) — has shown the welfare state to be an unsustainable economic system....

So Who’s Going To Play Candidate Obama? By TIM ADLER | Thursday April 29, 2010 @ 10:09am GMT Open TV and Film, the London-based production company, is developing a TV mini-series based on Barack Obama’s days on the campaign trail. ITV Studios USA is co-developing the project. Simon Shaps, chairman of Open, has optioned Newsweek journalist Richard Woolfe’s book Renegade: The Making of a President. The author was granted unique access to Obama during the campaign. Shaps – who used to be ITV’s director of television -- told me: “It is early days, but we are sure there will no...

How Mexico Treats Its Illegal Aliens Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door "to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement." But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in "Nazi-zona" last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south. The Arizona law bans sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws, stiffens penalties against illegal alien day laborers and their employers, makes it a misdemeanor for...

No More Beer Summits: Tea Party ‘N-Word’ Incident Didn’t Happen, And the Congressional Black Caucus Owes America an Apology by Andrew Breitbart Rep. Andre Carson wants to change the subject. I don’t blame him. On April 13, 2010 he told AP reporter Jesse Washington, “I think we need to move toward a dialogue that explores why this kind of divisive and reprehensible language is still making it into our political debate.” The “divisive and reprehensible language” that Rep. Carson is referring to is his claim that while he left the Cannon office building on March 20 with Rep. John Lewis,...

Gaddafi: Obama from Arab Descent, a 'Blessing' to Muslim World by Hana Levi Julian Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi blessed U.S. President Barack Obama as a “friend” over the weekend in a speech published by the London-based al-Hayat newspaper, labeling him “an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent.” Gaddafi's speech was delivered in the city of Sirt at an event marking the 24th anniversary of a U.S. attack on Libya. Gaddafi was quoted by the Arabic-language newspaper as saying that any dispute between Libya and the United States had since vanished. “Now, ruling America is a black man from our...

Revolutionary. There’s no other word that more aptly describes the health reform that was just enacted. It will affect everyone. Every employee. Everyone on Medicare. Everyone on Medicaid. It will even affect those who choose to remain uninsured. It will give the federal government enormous control over a sector that spends one out of every six dollars in our economy. Once fully phased in, the ten-year costs will approach $2.5 trillion — and maybe more. Given all that, does anyone find the way the president talks about health care these days a bit strange? As I said in my post...

Stop calling a white-raised biracial with NO SLAVE BLOOD "Black" Stop calling a white-raised biracial who is light skinned and has no black accent unless he needs one-"Black" Stop calling a white-raised biracial whose African half is Nilo-Saharan from East Africa and genetically unrelated to West Africans - "Black" Stop calling a white-raised biracial with a fake acquired accent-"Black" Stop calling a white-raised biracial whose bloodline is closer to Prince Charles than MLK- "Black" As long as Rush, Savage, Hannity and Levin call him "black" the Garafalos. Olbermanns and O'donnells can play the race card. And before someone throws up...
