The news media and intellectual elite don’t condemn Sharpton or Obama, because they have two standards of behavior: one for whites and a lower one for blacks.
POLITICS
The basic and crucial political issue of our age is: capitalism versus socialism, or freedom versus statism. For decades, this issue has been silenced, suppressed, evaded, and hidden under the foggy, undefined rubber-terms of “conservatism” and “liberalism” which had lost their original meaning and could be stretched to mean all things to all men. – AYN RAND

Liberals’ Immoral Use of Black People
Liberals desperately need blacks. If the Democratic Party lost just 30 percent of the black vote, it would mean the end of the liberal agenda. That means blacks must be kept in a perpetual state of grievance in order to keep them as a one-party people in a two-party system.

The Real Reason Ferguson Burns

Beware of Our Betters
Jonathan Gruber’s notion that the people are “stupid” is not fundamentally different from what Obama said to his fellow elite leftists in San Francisco, when he derided ordinary Americans as petty people who want to cling to their guns and their religion. We need to see through such arrogant elitists if we want to cling to our freedom.

Why The Founders Didn’t Give Us a Democracy

Hope and change? Not until we start to define “progress” differently.
“Hope and Change” Go Splat

Turkey’s Position on ISIL Misunderstood
