"Many feel the sting of racism in new law". . .OK, but remember: "feeling racism" is not evidence of actual racism any more than "feeling rich" is evidence of actual wealth.
And yes, there is a danger that the new anti-illegal immigration law in AZ will be used to racially profile individuals. No fair-minded person can support this kind of abuse. But it is an abuse. If we stop enforcing any law that might be abused, we will descend into anarchy.
B.O. appoints another big DNC donor to the bench.
Ross Douthat spanks Cartoon Network over their easy surrender to Islamo-fascism.
B.O.'s own actuary outlines nine serious problems with ObamaCare. No, you can't keep your doctor; and yes, premiums will rise.
Yet again our Government Nannies are trying to legislate the basic lessons of good manners. Tell me they aren't trying to find a substitute for the family structures they have worked so hard to destroy.
Good news in Hungary: the socialists were outed from power in recent elections. Let's pray that the center-party that won isn't a nationalist monster.
Ruth Gledhill on the vile anti-Catholic memo circulated in the U.K.'s Foreign Service office: "What this document illustrates is that repulsive sense of entitlement we sometimes see in the over-educated young and privileged, combined with a taken-for-granted anti-Catholic prejudice that does still persist in our nation, more than a century and a half after the restoration of the hierarchy." You have to wonder if this memo would have caused a stir at all if it hadn't been released to the bishops' conference.
Militant atheist convicted of "anti-social behavior" for leaving offensive tracts in an airport chapel. I'm surprised he was convicted given the general anti-Christian culture of the U.K. elites. However, I don't think Christians should be cheering this conviction. Laws like this one are always double-edged.
Funny announcements from airline captains and flight attendants. I once heard on a Southwest flight: "Federal law requires all passengers to obey the instructions of uniformed flight personnel. Don't pay any attention to the naked ones. They tend to lie."

Here in Scotland we have always been aware of anti-Catholic prejudice, covert and overt. However our brothers and sisters south of the border in England have had a big wake up call in recent months. They may have imagined that anti-Catholic bigotry was a thing of the past but in truth it never really went away.

ReplyDeleteI have to say, it's ironic to see Ruth Gledhill writing this. Physician, heal thyself!
All this government propaganda and mass media talk/oceans of ink spilt on "the sting of racism" and let's not forget "fraud" (perpetrated by a battalion of MBA's and quants on two other battalions of MBA's and quants) on Wall Street is meant to distract people from the sting of poverty and the agony of unemployment.
ReplyDeleteSince the demographic makeup of the American Southwest would guarantee a fair number of Hispanic cops in Arizona I wonder about the "racism" charge. This isn't a replay of the 60's where a Bull Connor wannabe is charging fire hoses and antagonizing the K9 dogs prior to a civil rights march.
ReplyDeleteWhen one relies on their "feelings", many problems ensue. Sadly, this is what today's society does and the results have been disastrous. Formality, professionalism, and enforcement of rules have been replace by a buddy, buddy attitude and rules are obeyed when one "likes" someone.
