Can I call ‘em or what?

On Sunday, I wrote about how the media and left-blogosphere were trying to move the Boston Bombing narrative to focus on what is wrong with how we treated the bombers as immigrants and away from the problem of Jihadism,

Is #OpIsrael invited to CUNY’s Homonationalism and Pinkwashing Conference?

Posted by    Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 11:27am

We have written numerous times about the depraved “pinkwashing” narrative, that Israel must be condemned by gay rights activists for publicizing the fact that it is the only country in the Middle East where gays are not persecuted.

That simple truth is too much for the anti-Israeli activists to bear because it...

The language police are getting crazy.  There now no longer are Illegal Immigrants. And as of today at AP, there are no Islamists.

We use the term Islamist here to distinguish the fundamentalists and radicals from the non-radicals.  The Muslim Brotherhood is Islamist.  Hamas is Islamist.  Hezbollah is Islamist.  The Mullahs...

Political takeover of language nears completion — AP bans “illegal immigrants”

There has been a political push to remove words like “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant” from usage as part of political messaging by amnesty/open borders advocates.

The preferred term is “undocumented,” as if it’s just a question of paperwork.  Once the language is redefined, it becomes a much easier sell to treat...

More boys than girls getting into elite NYC public schools … this must not stand

Boys are getting destroyed at just about every level of the educational spectrum relative to girls, and are keeping away from liberal arts colleges like they’re running from the grim reaper (which is not that bad an analogy considering the hard core feminist agenda at most liberal arts colleges).

But boys still...

Wow.  Just…wow:

For decades, hundreds of college players have gathered each year at the N.F.L.’s scouting combine, where their strength is tested, their speed is timed and, in a test to measure their intelligence, they are asked questions like “When a rope is selling 20 cents per 2 feet, how many feet...

I am more convinced than ever that a shock to the higher-ed system is needed.

Universities have turned into political training grounds for can’t-do left-wing professors and administrators who use campuses as laboratories for churning out foot soldiers for the dependency state:

CAIR Package Accidentally Contains the Truth

I found myself wondering why the Council on American-Islamic Relations had been so quiet since the 9/11/ attacks in Libya and two dozen other Islamic countries.

Since the original 9/11 massacre, every time a Muslim shouts “allahu akhbar” while slaughtering innocents—or is prevented by undercover operations from doing so—CAIR has worried publicly...

We’ve change the name to disguise the purpose of the day.

Because disclosing the Victory we are commemorating would be so incorrect. It’s like everyone gets a trophy day.

Another fabricated hate crime, this time by a gay man who claimed to have been beaten outside a bar.

Via NY Daily News:

A 22-year-old Montana man who told cops he was beaten up by gay-bashing thugs  while club-hopping on his birthday — igniting calls online for protest against  homophobic violence — made...
