It’s Open Thread Thursday!
Want to promote your blog or a post? Drop a link. Want to talk about the weather or a hobby? Knock yourselves out. Whatever you want to discuss, discuss.
Suggested topics:
- WorldNetDaily shouts “Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily.” (Also see “Nearly One Million Sex Crimes…”) Conservative blogger Ed Morrissey cries fudged-numbers foul. Some disagree; others take a…different view. What say you?
- On Monday, December 4, a bunch of black folks will rally in Washington, D.C., to “argue the essential weakness” of their own people, to quote Shelby Steele. They will protest the notion of equal treatment and promote government-sanctioned lowered standards, demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of Brown v. Board of Education, prominently displayed in the event’s title. I may show up and play “reporter.”
- “I swear on a stack of Korans.”
- Five New York City cops were involved in a fatal shootout. Sean Bell, a groom-to-be, was killed in a hail of 50+ bullets. Effete NY mayor Mike Bloomberg called in clownish Al Sharpton for photo-ops and community “outreach,” defining the tragedy in racial terms. Two of the cops were white, two were black, and one was hispanic, but some say the shooting was motivated by race. Question: If it turns out that one or both black cops also did the shooting, is the killing still considered “racist”? (Also see “A Reasonable Fear” and ““Bloomberg’s Blunder.”)
- Victor Davis Hanson’s “Losing the Enlightenment,” which I quoted yesterday, is a must-read for Americans who love liberty and the free exchange of ideas.
