After months of disappointment, President Barack Obama may finally appease jilted gay supporters in the days to come by advancing the repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. At the Daily Beast, Anthony Woods, a nine-year veteran discharged for coming out of the closet, celebrates the end of “this bigoted policy”:
Right now, when [...]

NewsHounds: Hannity’s a Racist Because We Say So
May 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The other night, Sean Hannity ran a segment about Hispanic radicalism in Arizona public schools. As if on cue, the petty, factually-challenged Fox haters of NewsHounds fired back with a nasty screed that, once again, proves little more than their own moral and intellectual bankruptcy. It begins as follows:
As the champion of white America feeling [...]
Hey Tucson, Guess Who’s Teaching Your Kids?

Arizona’s battle against illegal immigration extends far beyond law enforcement—they also face a pro-amnesty assault on the academic front. Last night, Sean Hannity interviewed AZ state superintendent Tom Horne, the author of recently signed legislation banning classes that promote “the over throw of the U.S. government,” the “resentment of a certain race,” and classes “designed [...]
Joel Klein: Not Your Average Educator

More of the best. Less of the worst.
Few issues spark more heated emotions than education spending, and New York City Education Department Chancellor Joel Klein’s new Daily Beast piece is likely to be no different. According to him, attempts to control costs in the Big Apple will end up hurting lots of teachers and students [...]

May 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Well, that was fast. No sooner do Kentucky Republicans nominate Rand Paul for the US Senate than a brand-new firestorm erupts over whether or not Republicans support desegregation, thanks to Paul’s partial (and quickly-abandoned) criticism of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Surveying conservative reaction to the controversy, the Daily Beast’s Benjamin Sarlin finds that “The [...]
You Can Only Trust Democrats to Be Democrats

Republican strategist Mark McKinnon has a new Daily Beast column taking Barack Obama and the Democrats to task for still blaming their own failures on the Bush Administration. He shows that, by and large, the public isn’t buying it, making “Blame Bush!” a less-than effective strategy. However, a passage near the end of the piece [...]

Jonah Goldberg has a valuable new LA Times column with more thoughts on David Horowitz’s recent encounter with pro-jihad sentiment at UC San Diego. We all reacted with disgust (though not surprise) at Jumanah Imad Albahri’s words, but how did her school’s administration take it? Goldberg decided to find out:
I asked UCSD, via e-mail, whether [...]
Do Republicans Get the Stakes, or Have the Guts to Fight?

Last night, Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich sat down to discuss the former House Speaker’s new book, To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular-Socialist Regime. For the most part, the conversation consisted of pretty standard fare for conservative commentary: the Left’s ideas have failed, Barack Obama poses a dire threat to the nation, and so on. [...]

And the hits just keep coming from partisan educators. Last night, Sean Hannity spoke with two students & basketball players from Highland Park High School in Chicago, the school which canceled the basketball team’s highly anticipated trip to Arizona (the team made it to conference championships for the first time in 26 years) in protest [...]
The Company the Pauls Keep

Ron & Rand Paul will be the first to tell you how much they revere George Washington, how they’re the Last Politicians In America ™ who are faithfully carrying out his ideas. But there’s one lesson the Father of our Country took to heart growing up that the Pauls somehow missed:
Associate yourself with Men of [...]
