Very strange. Local police are quoted as saying they have identified two students possibly connected to the rash of racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay writings on campus, but were uncertain as to their motives. As detailed yesterday, the Oberlin administration is not willing to talk about...

There have been numerous reported instances at Oberlin College of writings scrawled on campus using racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay language.  That backdrop led to a shut-down of classes and mass gatherings of students when there was a reported sighting of someone in a Klan outfit, which turned...

We’ve delved the depths of the despicable Boycott Divest Sanction movement against Israel. We are dealing with real bottom-feeders who have worked their ways onto campuses almost everywhere, supported by vicious people like George Galloway. Given the sordid history of Leftist-Islamist anti-Israel campus agitation, particularly...

Forgive me for forsaking the Tip Line. It’s not that I don’t read it, I do. I just have neglected promoting items: donb — Paul Rahe in Obama’s Next Move:  “The name of the game for our President is to force a crisis that will...

I’ve written about Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz before, Alan Dershowitz, Praised: Charles C. Johnson (no, not that that CJ) has a post at Big Government, In Praise of Alan Dershowitz.  It’s worth the read, but hardly does justice to someone who for generations...

We recently posted a story on changing the direction of political dialog in this country, which asked the following question: How do we get a foothold for conservative ideas in the public schools, and how do we expand that foothold over time? An Idaho lawmaker...

Chuck Hagel was an embarrassment yesterday at this confirmation hearing.  John Podhoretz has it right: Well, as a result of this confirmation hearing — the most disastrous of its kind since another veteran senator, John Tower, blew himself up in his pursuit of the same...

The timing of the recent announcement from the Obama Administration that it would lift the ban on women serving in combat positions was fascinating. After Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s responsibility dodging and Biden-esque responses to questioning by Senators yesterday, the White House needed a...

As things stand now, the Electoral College favors Democrats because they are all but guaranteed to win a small number of large winner take all states, such as California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, plus a coalition of hopelessly blue states. Democrats start...

I’ll use this as my own inauguration day, spending the day thinking about what we can do better. I have not given in to all the doom and gloom, although it’s hard not to.  There is a deliberate effort to declare the Republican Party, conservatives,...

A couple of days ago I charitably described Andrew Cohen’s embarrassingly gushing celebration of Justice Sonia Sotomayor and her new book in The Atlantic as “treacly drool.” It is not alone, accompanied now by a full court liberal press (NPR, CBS News, the New York...

My recent post on “Independence Day” sparked a spirited discussion around poll data showing that only 8% of those questioned identified themselves as members of the “tea party” (hat-tip to gs). This, in turn, became a topic of discussion among the a group of citizen...
