Blatant Reality

Yea this is just outrageous. I’m not even going to describe what it is, you’re just going to have to read for yourself.

California’s court system has recently handed down a ruling that essentially makes it illegal to homeschool your child without a proper teaching credentials. Michelle Malkin has a comprehensive post about this debate.

Yea, I wasn’t so interested in the nuclear talks part but more in the way this Indian paper referred to the United States presidency as a “regime.” I mean this is first class liberal jargon we are talking about here. The worst part is, the paper doesn’t even get this phrase from the interview. Here, take a look (emphasis added):

Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar has said efforts to ensure success of the Indo-US nuclear deal would go on regardless of regime change in the US.

 

Speaking to reporters after delivering a lecture on Monday at the National Institute of Advanced Studies on India’s nuclear energy status, he said: “It is a step-by-step process and takes time. I am not willing to conjecture on what will happen to the nuclear deal in connection with the US presidency… I don’t want to say whether the deal will be seen through before or after the Bush presidency… We will continue to talk with the US.”

 

Kakodkar said he was neither positive nor negative about the deal. “I am a realist, I am realistic about it. If the deal goes through, it is very good. I don’t think about whether it won’t… But if it doesn’t, our indigenous programme will go on. I can say our indigenous programme is sustainable on its own…”

Unless the reporter left out the part where Mr. Kakodkar referred to the Bush presidency as a “regime,” I really don’t know why the author would even refer to it as that. I mean, this isn’t an opinion piece so words like “regime” are normally limited to referring to those really bad nations (aka Iran and North Korea).

Well, I guess if it ain’t liberals at home you got to worry about it’s also the ones abroad. Go ahead Mr. Anonymous Liberal, keep putting words in other people’s mouths. Just remember that there are people like me watching and catching your (intentional) mistakes.

Right Wing News has an article today about the twenty most annoying liberals of 2007. Its a pretty hilarious list so I recommend reading the whole thing. Be sure to watch the video about Hillary, its awesome.

Right Wing News posted a list of the best liberal quotes from 2007 and, as an added bonus, they included a counter quote for each. Here’s an example:

Carl Levin in March, 1999:

“Whether we like it or not, the Balkans is an important crossroads. […] This is not the time to take risks in undermining those efforts. Those who insist on a debate at this particular moment should think again, or they bear the responsibility for the possible consequences of their actions.” — Democratic Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, Congressional record, March 11, 1999

Carl Levin in Feb, 2007:

“I don’t want to put a specific number on (how many troops we want to withdraw from Iraq) because that really should be left to the commanders who decide how many would be needed to carry out those limited functions. But we’ve got to—the issue we’re facing, the key issue is do we want American troops in the middle of a civil war. That’s the fundamental issue which we want to debate. We’ve been wanting to debate that for many, many weeks, but, of course, we were filibustered before.” — Carl Levin on Meet The Press, Feb 25, 2007

This quote reminded me of this sign on ProtestWarrior.com. Read the whole post because there are some pretty funny quotes. Cindy Sheehan even made the list.

UK’s The Telegraph is in the process of publishing their picks for the top 100 conservatives and liberals. The surprising part is that many democrats are considered conservative and republicans and considered liberal.

 Although there are many Republicans on the conservative list and many liberals on the Democratic list, not all 200 are aligned with a party. The key to inclusion was the term “influence” – which people do, and will, most affect American politics both in terms of ideas and the enactment of policy.

This list is comprised of many different people from politicians to actors and bloggers. As of today, the top sixty in each category have yet to be published but will be published in the coming days.

Jimmy Carter recently said that the situation in Darfur isn’t a genocide according to the textbook definition. Here’s Hot Air’s take on it.
