Uncomfortable Truths
Editorial: What we don’t want to hear about suspect who wanted to ‘kill all white people’[More]Actually, what no one seems to want to hear is a simple truth.
I've even got some prag in comments over here objecting strenuously to even bringing the topic up.
And in terms of this bit of "progressive apologia, I'm sure the "editorial board" would be tripping all over each other to bellow their condemnation were the situation reversed. It reminds me of a boss I used to have who had a saying: "Suck one little c*** and everybody calls you a c***sucker."

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Conservative' Is
Conservative lawmakers led by Thom Tillis are crafting a bill they call the conservative Dream Act that would provide a path to permanent residency to people brought here illegally as children, offering President Donald Trump an escape hatch on one of his most vexing immigration challenges. [More]Note Tillis wouldn't dare try to answer these questions, and no one with enough reach enough to influence him has incentive to ask him.
But there are plenty with influence on "our side" enabling the sellout, deliberately indifferent to a predictable outcome that will reverse the short term "good" votes.
If the establishment can define a cultural terraformer as"conservative," what must that make anyone who actually does want to conserve a Republic not irremediably dominated by "progressives"? And does anyone think they won't go after Tillis et al. for being "extremists" whenever that tack is the more useful?
Thank goodness none of this has anything to do with that "single issue."
‘Bristling’ Response Merely an Attempt to Counter Lies with Truth
For those who are dismissive, the question becomes “What orders would you not obey?” Bearing in mind that the “Nuremberg defense” didn’t save real Nazis from the gallows, and that a requirement for orders to be “lawful” means unlawful orders should not be obeyed, that’s a question all serious-minded Americans should consider — for themselves, for their representatives, and for the enforcers supposedly serving and protecting them. [More]If the oath is merely a ceremonial formality, what can those who take it with no seriousness or sincerity not feel authorized to get away with?
