Put Me in Charge…

Posted on December 12, 2010 by marc

Alfred W. Evans’ letter to the Waco Tribune Herald (which unfortunately requires a login to see the original online version): Put me in charge… Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,…

Eric Holder’s Speech on Race Right On the Money

Posted on February 19, 2009 by marc

Attorney General Eric Holder gave America reason to believe in him today through a speech he gave to Justice Department employees and comments he made afterward: “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many…

Welfare Test

Posted on June 17, 2008 by marc

Tip of the hat to Sheryl for this gem via e-mail: I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem….

Self-selecting DNA

Posted on May 15, 2008 by marc

Michael Medved writes that the idea that Americans have an inherent – even Darwinistic – advantage over other peoples is gaining additional respect in the scientific community as a result of new research.  The reason?  Immigrants who self-selected themselves have a greater tendency to exhibit risk-taking and inventive skills.  Perhaps.  But I wonder if we’ve…

Obama and Racist Voters

Posted on May 13, 2008 by marc

Barack Obama’s youthful volunteers have met more than a few of America’s less savory characters while on the campaign trail, according to a story in the Washington Post.  Obama’s skin color – he’s black – if you weren’t aware, is for some voters the most important thing about the man.   Sad, but that view is…

Double Your Pleasure…

Posted on February 5, 2008 by marc

…by marrying multiple women and helping to destroy Britain by increasing the strain that you and yours put on the infidel nation’s already burgeoning welfare state! It sounds ridiculous – heck, it is ridiculous! – but the new guidelines issued by the Department for Work and Pensions read thusly: "Where there is a valid polygamous…

Tax Rebates and Stimuli

Posted on January 24, 2008January 24, 2008 by marc

In a rare show of bi-partisan glad-handing, the House and President Bush have agreed on a so-called economic stimulus package that consists largely of "tax rebates" to be given to individuals earning < $75K per year and couples making < $150K. From this perspective the plan could be called a tax cut and therefore be…

British Illegal Wants to go Home

Posted on November 17, 2007November 17, 2007 by marc

Mokhtar Tabet dislikes living in Britain rather a lot it seems: He said: “The council evicted me from my home in September and moved me to Streatham, which I don’t like. “The new place is small, and the kitchen closes at 9pm, so I can’t have anything to eat late at night. They have taken…

Deserving Welfare

Posted on October 12, 2007October 12, 2007 by marc

Michelle Malkin wonders, “Who deserves government-subsidized health care?“ That’s a good question.  The short answer, which many of us would agree on, is this:  only those who cannot provide for their own basic health care.  “Cannot” is one of the key words in that proviso; “basic” is another. The devil is in the details, or…

Affirmative Action Lives On, Unfortunately

Posted on June 23, 2003 by marc

The Supreme Court has voted to allow “limited” forms of affirmative action in college admissions policy. Here’s what Houstonians had to say. Notice anything odd about the feedback page? Of those pictured, only one was a minority and I use that term loosely when referring to a college graduate. I found that highly amusing. Are…
