Tweet One of my high school friends is black, pro-union, devoutly Christian and (to my surprise, given her San Francisco upbringing) apparently pro-Second Amendment. She passed this along from one of her Facebook friends (who is a big numbers conservative Christian Facebooker): San Antonio Theater Shooting On Sunday December 17, 2012, 2 days after the [...]

Tweet In America today, especially in America’s media, the worst thing you can call someone is “racist.” In our Obama-era people who oppose Obama are racist; people who support the Constitution are racist; people who use the word “Chicago” are racist; people who comment about the president’s lean physique (unless they’re drooling female reporters) are [...]

Tweet My father, alev ha-shalom, had forgotten more about English — his third language — than most people will ever know. In addition to reading novels and non-fiction for pleasure, he would amuse himself reading dictionaries, grammar books, and stories about the English language. (In that last genre, my favorite was one called Word Origins and [...]

Tweet There’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing someone slice and dice Paul Krugman’s latest idiocies. Randall Hoven does a magnificent job. The only sad thing about it is that he’s preaching to the choir. The ones who really should read his article — namely, the ones who think Krugman is actually smart and honest [...]

Tweet Black and Right has produced a brilliant video to help you understand how racism works in Obama’s America: As Homer Simpson would say, “It’s funny because it’s true.” Oh, wait! The fact that it’s true makes it singularly unfunny. Is this the way our nation is choosing its president? Will the bold American experiment [...]

Tweet Morgan Freeman, a man who lets his periodic acting roles as God and other authority figures go to his head, has now announced that it’s okay to castigate Barack Obama, because Obama isn’t really black. Instead, he’s half white. It seems cavalier at this junction to point out that Morgan Freeman’s pale coffee skin [...]

Tweet I’m finding some wonderful gems hidden in my inbox. This one goes back to April, but is too good not to share now. It’s a news story about the way in which the Swedish cultural elite — including the Minister of Culture — celebrate. Here’s a hint about what you’ll see at the link: [...]

Tweet “Facts are stubborn things.” I love that quotation. John Adams said it back in 1774 when he took on the unpopular job of defending the British troops charged with the killings in the event now known as the Boston Massacre. Arguing off those same stubborn facts, Adams was able to get those troops acquitted. [...]

Tweet The post title, of course, is a quotation from President Obama, who couldn’t resist wading into, and personalizing, an already inflamed faux racial issue. Maybe if Obama had a son, he’d sound like Trayvon, too.

Tweet Sequestered here on the Left Coast I hadn’t paid any attention to the Trayvon Martin murder. Today, though, it forced itself into the forefront of my brain. As the media spins the story, it’s a horrific case of a very wholesome, very young black man cruelly executed in a “safe,” “white” neighborhood by a [...]

Tweet I always love it when Leftist idiocy highlights some sort of life lesson I just imparted to young people. Today’s life lesson is that fairness should be a reasonably objective standard, rather than one that, as Bill Maher would have it, depends on whether you, personally, are benefiting from the standard imposed. Back in [...]

Tweet One of the weaknesses in my abilities as a blogger is that I have very little patience for television, especially the talking heads on MSM television. To me, they’re all Max Headroom: My philosophy is that life is too short to spend time in Max Headroom’s company. My mistake, though, is in believing that [...]

Tweet When I was growing up, February boasted Lincoln’s birthday (February 16 12) and Washington’s birthday (February 22). When I was no longer a child, those two distinct birthdays — one celebrating America’s first commander in chief and first president, and the other one celebrating the architect of our modern union and the leader of [...]

Tweet Duane Lester, whose main blogging home is All American Blogger, has come up with a brilliant idea. He’s set up a site that simply lists all the things that are “racist” in Barack Obama’s America. Here’s a snippet from Now Racist in the U.S.: Any Political Opposition to President Obama • “Articulate” • Asking Attorney [...]

Tweet Despite the fact that Republicans are currently busy working the circular firing squad, making outside efforts to destroy them somewhat redundant, the Progressives/Democrats/Media/Usual Suspects aren’t taking any chances about the November 2012 election and have already brought out the big gun: They’re crying racism. The racism claim that got the biggest headline this week [...]

Tweet If you’ve been trolling the internet at all the lost couple of days, you’re aware by now that Christopher Knight, who has what is apparently a paying gig at the Los Angeles Times, has taken umbrage at a political cartoon likening the profligate Mrs. Obama to Marie Antoinette, who was herself no slouch at [...]

Tweet All of us at this blog have shared thoughts and facts similar to those in Bill Whittle’s latest video. It’s hard, though, to imagine anyone putting them together as well, as cogently, and with such elegant brevity, as Whittle himself:

Tweet Please, please, please tell me the Rabbi was writing with tongue fixed firmly in cheek: I’ve got a Tim Tebow problem. I want to root for the guy, but I’m afraid of what will happen if the hulky Denver Bronco quarterback continues to pull off what is fast becoming the Greatest Gridiron Story Ever [...]
Bookworm on Dec 03 2011 | Filed under: Newt Gingrich
Tweet One of the reasons a lot of people, myself included, like Newt is because he says politically incorrect things that ordinary people think. In other words, his politically correct utterances aren’t out of the KKK playbook, they’re out of “the reasonable common-sense before 1960s Leftist education took over” playbook. A week ago, he said [...]

Tweet Mr. Bookworm works for a very large corporation. While we were in the car with the kids, the conversation turned to the exquisite sensitivity the corporation has to show when it’s faced with firing a minority employee. The process is arduous, requiring huge HR involvement, dozens of staff interviews and a lengthy paper trail. [...]

Tweet This is what passes for humor on the Left: Get a “celebrity” who’s been in prison for rape, has bitten off people’s ears, kicked strangers in the groin, is a high school drop-out and — oh, yes — happens to be black, and have him pretend to be Herman Cain in a parody that [...]

Tweet A few years ago, those in the know were telling us in no uncertain terms that the EU model was the future — and that America had better get used to playing second fiddle to the economic giant that a united Europe presented. I found it hard to imagine that Europe would ever be [...]

Tweet I regularly read James Taranto’s Best of the Web and always enjoy his “Life imitates the Onion” or “Life imitates South Park” shticks. Imagine my surprise today, when I realized that, this time around, life is imitating a very silly satire I did at my blog almost exactly one year ago. In September 2010, [...]

Tweet From 2007 through August 2011, daring to question or criticize Obama meant you were a racist. Now, though, liberals are suggesting that Obama is so toxic he should just walk away from the job. Holding them to their own standards, aren’t they being racist? I mean, really, really racist? Please don’t scold me for [...]

Tweet From whence does the viciousness in the Leftwing soul emanate? I know that most if not all of us in the Bookworm circle have seen this horrific video below. I post it because we need to see this again and again. We need to look into their eyes to recognize what this is. I [...]
