Non-White Politicians Are Running for President and Liberals Can’t Stand It

Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal

You tell me who’s really the party of “old white people:”

Non-White Politicians Are Running for President and Liberals Can’t Stand It

Consider the media coverage surrounding Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s presidential announcement. The Washington Post sent reporters to India to visit Jindal’s relatives and write a story about how Jindal “has spent a lifetime distancing himself from his Indian roots.”

[…]

Jindal is hardly the only minority GOP candidate to be accused of betraying his race. Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin was forced to apologize to Ted Cruz after a bizarre interview in which Halperin asked the Texas Senator about his favorite Latino foods and music, and insisted that Cruz speak in Spanish. A New York Times op-ed suggested that Cruz was as Hispanic as Tom Cruise. Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson argued in 2013 that Cruz should not “be defined as a Hispanic.”

Republican Ben Carson, the only African-American candidate from either party, has been called a “black racial hit man,” a “traitor to his people,” and a “role model for black teens until he sold out to the right.” Marco Rubio has been accused of perpetuating “all the bad stereotypes of Cuban Americans,” and has been described as a “brown face” Republicans “trot out” in an effort to appeal to Hispanics. Meanwhile, liberals have attacked Carly Florina, the youngest female candidate in the 2016 field, for daring to identify as a feminist.

I take it, then, that Marbury v. Madison is a dead letter going forward

Chief Justice Roberts: ‘In Every Case We Must Respect the Role of the Legislature, and Take Care Not to Undo What It Has Done’

O RLY? I’m pretty sure his job is to decide the constitutionality of the laws passed by Congress. The Supreme Court’s decisions in King v. Burwell and NFIB v. Sebelius constitute dereliction of duty for refusing to vacate blatantly unconstitutional laws.

The Last Rebels: 25 Things We Did As Kids That Would Get Someone Arrested Today

Things from the list I did as a kid: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 23, 24, 25…and that last one started in kindergarten.  Not much opportunity to do the things involving snow or large bodies of water on account of where we lived, or some more items would’ve made my list:

The Last Rebels: 25 Things We Did As Kids That Would Get Someone Arrested Today

With all of the ridiculous new regulations, coddling, and societal mores that seem to be the norm these days, it’s a miracle those of us over 30 survived our childhoods.

Here’s the problem with all of this babying: it creates a society of weenies.

There won’t be more more rebels because this generation has been frightened into submission and apathy through a deliberately orchestrated culture of fear. No one will have faced adventure and lived to greatly embroider the story.

Kids are brainwashed – yes, brainwashed – into believing that the mere thought of a gun means you’re a psychotic killer waiting for a place to rampage.

They are terrified to do anything when they aren’t wrapped up with helmets, knee pads, wrist guards, and other protective gear.

Parents can’t let them go out and be independent or they’re charged with neglect and the children are taken away.

Woe betide any teen who uses a tool like a pocket knife, or heck, even a table knife to cut meat.

Lighting their own fire? Good grief, those parents must either not care of their child is disfigured by 3rd-degree burns over 90% of his body or they’re purposely nurturing a little arsonist.

Heaven forbid that a child describe another child as “black” or, for that matter, refer to others as girls or boys. No actual descriptors can be used for the fear of “offending” that person, and “offending” someone is incredibly high on the hierarchy of Things Never To Do.

“Free range parenting” is all but illegal and childhood is a completely different experience these days.

Only Difference Between Dylann Roof and Bill Ayers Is Legitimacy Among the Left

Both deserve a dirt nap. You tell me which one’s more likely to get it, though:

Only Difference Between Dylann Roof and Bill Ayers Is Legitimacy Among the Left

Q: What’s the difference between Bill Ayers and Dylann Roof?

A: Dylann Roof isn’t a friend and colleague of an American president who enjoyed a cushy life in academia before retiring to life as the kind of author who’s invited on-the-air by the mainstream media to hawk his books.

Other than that, both of these pigs share much in common.

Hops…phytoestrogenic?  Say it ain’t so!

Your favorite beer might be giving you man boobs

It might seem manly to drink beer, but a chemical found in hops might be the cause of some very feminine attributes.

Hops, which gives beer its flavor, are female flowers of the hop plant and contain high levels of phytoestrogen—a plant estrogen.

According to research conducted by acclaimed herbalist and author Stephen Harrod Buhner, hops can also contribute to breast development in men and to a condition called “brewer’s droop”—or impotence brought on by heavy drinking.
