*Harry Reid Off Camera, at NRO.
“In a private conversation Reid sounded . . . well, borderline racist. Language matters. Academics like Randall Kennedy can use the word “Negro” in a conscious manner to make a professorial point, but it’s no longer an acceptable term in casual conversation. Blacks can use the n-word — and do. But whites can’t (for good historical reasons), and it’s not okay to suggest the wrong shade of brown is a disqualification for high office. Democrats who are giving Reid a pass blur the distinction between partisan preferences and racial sensibilities. A racial boor is a racial boor — whether on Left or Right.”
*Code Pink, still aiding and abetting American enemies after all these years.
*England Made Him, by David Frum.
“Britain has allowed itself to incubate a danger to the whole planet — and even now, their corrective action is too hesitant and too partial.”

*P.C. Never Died, by Greg Lukianoff
“When students come to believe that censoring rival points of view is not only permissible but laudable, the potential damage goes far beyond campus. Our colleges and universities produce our scientists, our business leaders, our lawyers, and our legislators. The habits formed in college inevitably seep into the other major social institutions.”
*Best Headline of the Day: You Know, David Brooks Is Sort of an Elitist Crypto-Fascist Douchebag, by Ace. My thoughts on Mr. Brooks run along similar lines.
