This is hilarious:

Thanks to The American Spectator for this one.

He revisits the controversy over Notre Dame's awarding an honorary doctorate of laws to President Obama.  Read the full text of his letter here.

Here is one of my favorite passages:

"[S]eeking common ground and pursuing the common good can often coincide.  But they are not the same thing.  They can sharply diverge in practice.  So-called "common ground" abortion policies may actually attack the common good because they imply a false unity; they create a ledge of shared public agreement too narrow and too weak to sustain the weight of a real moral consensus.  The common good is never served by tolerance for killing the weak – beginning with the unborn."

So now, defending the right of unborn human children to live is "hate speech"?

Oh, and this is great.  Students who don't agree with the views expressed by the speakers filed a complaint, saying, "Vulnerable students tried to communicate their concerns to the University through the available channels: the SSMU executive, SSMU Council, AUS [Arts Undergraduate Society] Council, the McGill Tribune, and The McGill Daily.  There were no other avenues through which to stop this event, which they deemed as victimizing, offensive, and stifling of educated debate, from happening."

"Furthermore it is unfair to expect these student protesters to calmly watch a presentation and engage with a speaker when such a presentation would make them feel violated, demonized, and silenced.  This event created a hostile environment and should not have been permitted. It is possibly most disappointing that when students peacefully engaged in a public response to this hostile environment, they were removed through a police intervention."

You can watch the videos to see if this was "peaceful."

And their complaints just drip with irony they do not even see.  Who is "vulnerable," if not human children in the womb?  Who is "victimized," who is "silenced," but these small people, deprived of any rights, of any voice?  And a "hostile environment"?  I'll leave that one to your imagination.

Canada is producing such remarkable, Orwellian little communists, such impressive budding Thought Police.  And America is not far behind.

the idiot that he is.  Like Netanyahu did.

But it is all too common. As I have written elsewhere, the Left’s favorite slight-of-hand is to get everyone talking about intentions, and state of mind. Intentions can never be refuted, and state of mind can never be disproven, which is why the Left loves to argue that way. Saying, “I intend to eliminate poverty!” or “You only oppose the President’s policies because you hate black people,” is nothing more than a distraction. When it comes to writing law, what matters is not the drafters’ intentions, but the law’s results, which regressives never want to discuss, even when they’re obvious. And you can accuse anyone of thinking anything – how on earth could this ever be disproven? More to the point, it puts the accused on the defensive, and takes the argument away from the real issues – also the objective of the hard Left in all matters political.

Everyone who opposes the President’s leftist agenda has discovered that the “racist!” epithet is the desperate gasp of those who absolutely cannot refute the arguments on the merits. (And, as we saw with last weekend’s non-coverage of hundreds of thousands of Americans protesting in Washington, the media’s other favorite tactic is simply to ignore things: “If we don’t cover it, it didn’t happen.”)

Thousands of words have been printed already, demonstrating that the assertions President Obama was making during his address were, in fact, untrue, and Congress’ quick scurrying to close the loophole that would permit illegal aliens to receive free medical care on the American taxpayers’ dime further proves it.

President Obama has declined to fan the flames of Nancy Pelosi’s and the liberal media’s manufactured outrage, accepting Congressman Wilson’s immediate apology, and the White House issued a subsequent statement saying that they did not believe any racial animus was behind Wilson’s outburst.

But the media will never be satisfied with that. So I want to give a big shout out to performer Kanye West, whose rude interruption of country singer Taylor Swift’s acceptance of the “Best Female Video” award at the MTV Video Music Awards two nights ago was the perfect bookend to Congressman Joe Wilson’s conduct, and an ironic smackdown to the liberal media who have tried to deflect attention from the legitimate concerns about the government takeover of health care by demonizing Wilson.

During the awards ceremony, Taylor Swift, who is white, had just received her award. Kanye West, who is black, leapt onto the stage where Swift was speaking. Taking the microphone away from her, he said, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé [Knowles, also a nominee] has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

Swift was speechless. Beyoncé, when the camera panned the crowd, looked mortified. To their credit, the crowd responded with boos. The whole incident was embarrassing for everyone. Even President Obama reportedly called West a “jack.a.s.s” off the record for his boorish conduct.

Like Joe Wilson, Kanye West immediately apologized, privately and publicly.

So where are the chattering media heads now? Are they sounding the alarm, accusing West of being a racist? Accusing everyone who thought Beyoncé should have won of actually harboring insidious thoughts against white singers? Are they attributing unseen motivations to West, insisting that he couldn’t stand to see a white girl win over his black friend, Beyoncé Knowles?

Nope. Same hypocrisy as we see with the Lefty media all the time.

But in this case, I’m glad. I am not accusing West of being a racist, and I hope no one else does. He was impolite, and boorish, and impulsive, and probably overly enthusiastic in support of his friend, Beyoncé. But racist? That’s absurd.

And Beyoncé herself was the epitome of grace and dignity, even offering the podium to Taylor Swift during her own acceptance speech later in the event, so that Swift could finish her remarks. What a lady.

The VMA awards should be a lesson to the media. As with Kanye West, Joe Wilson’s outburst may have been heartfelt, but the sentiment he expressed was done the wrong way, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Inappropriate? Sure. Racist? Bunk.

Kanye West did Joe Wilson – and the rest of us – a big favor, pointing out once again the inherent equality of all human beings: grace and decency are found in people of all colors. And rudeness is an equal opportunity error.

Gee, connections between Obama, ACORN, Chicago Democrats and banks?  Who could have imagined?

God help us when these trainees start taking care of government-provided "health care."  The same government that cannot handle the paperwork for "Cash for Clunkers" is going to take over 1/6 of the entire American economy?

This quote from Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is priceless: "'I know some of you have a little heartburn, but you're all going to get paid,' LaHood said in a Sept. 16 speech to the National Automobile Dealers Association. 'Maybe not in the timely way you would have liked.'"

Now substitute ANY ailment for "a little heartburn," and "treated" for "paid," and you have Obamacare in a nutshell.

We are doomed.

I have said on numerous occasions that using the term "health care" in the current debate is a treacherous misstatement.  YOU are in charge of your own "health." When something catastrophic happens (an accident, or serious illness), and you are in need of professional intervention, then you need medical care.  But this sloppy terminology predates the current debate about Obamacare; for far too long, people have been expecting their insurance policies to pay for things far in excess of medical care, in a strict sense.

Calling the system "health care," and then arguing that the government should provide it, is arguing for the government to control much, much more than just your medical care (and God knows, that is bad enough).

This article from the United Kingdom - which has had government-provided "health care" for decades - demonstrates just what can - and will happen when the government starts paying the bills.  "Obesity is now viewed as a type of [child] abuse."  Are they kidding?

Nope.  And you thought death panels were bad?  Wait until they start appointing "obesity" panels to come take away your children.

And more great lines from Alex Castellanos here at NRO.

One of the best lines I've heard in months.  Does that make John McCain the Republican Ghost of Failures Present?  So who would the Republican Ghost of Failures Yet to Come be?  (Please, please, don't nominate another weak-kneed, hapless, conciliatory RINO.  Because that's who it will be.)

Read the whole thing here.

I can think of few things more heartbreaking or dispiriting when you are fighting cancer than finding out that your husband is already planning to marry his mistress (and the mother of the illegitimate child he lied about) when you die.  If that story is true, then there isn't anything bad enough I can say about John Edwards.

than the "real" journalists he skewers in this video.
