Why UN Fiat Won’t Turn Terrorists Into Statesmen The Palestinian Authority has now succeeded with its deliberate strategy for acquiring incremental statehood at the United Nations. Though this cynical end-run around authoritative international law managed to skirt all critically governing expectations of the Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (The Montevideo Convention, 1934), […]

“DIVERSITY” HISTORY WAS MADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA WHEN A GOVERNOR OF INDIAN ORIGIN APPOINTED A CONSERVATIVE BLACK MAN TO BE SENATOR….BUT THIS “DIVERSITY” IS ANATHEMA TO LIBERALS BECAUSE BOTH THE GOVERNOR AND SENATOR ELECT SCOTT HAPPEN TO BE REPUBLICANS….WHAT ABOMINABLE HYPOCRISY….RSK
There is a New York Times op-ed this morning that is somewhere beyond appalling. It is by Adolph L. Reed Jr., a political science professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Professor Reed writes about the appointment of Rep. Tim Scott to replace the retiring Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina. Scott, in Reed’s view, is essentially an Uncle Tom because he does not agree with the politics of most black Americans:
. . . his politics, like those of the archconservative Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, are utterly at odds with the preferences of most black Americans. Mr. Scott has been staunchly anti-tax, anti-union and anti-abortion.
Of course, Tim Scott will not be representing black Americans in the Senate, he will be representing South Carolinians, who are, overwhelmingly, staunchly anti-tax, anti-union and anti-abortion. So it would seem that while white people can be liberals or conservatives according to the dictates of their thinking, blacks cannot. If you’re black but not liberal, in Professor Reed’s worldview, then you’re not really black.
He notes that, “All four black Republicans who have served in the House since the Reagan era — Gary A. Franks in Connecticut, J. C. Watts in Oklahoma, Allen B. West in Florida and Mr. Scott — were elected from majority-white districts.” So? All that proves is that the voters of these districts elected people according to their political positions and not the color of their skins, which is all Professor Reed seems to care about.
He can’t even get skin color right, however. He writes:
Mrs. Haley — a daughter of Sikh immigrants from Punjab, India — is the first female and first nonwhite governor of South Carolina, the home to white supremacists like John C. Calhoun, Preston S. Brooks, Ben Tillman and Strom Thurmond.

In the Middle East, children are being used by the adults who should be caring for them to turn them into jihadist weapons to conquer the world — sometimes with bombs strapped onto them to kill their perceived enemies.

During the endless Republican primaries there was a video of Governor Rick Perry dancing with rabbis….It was delightful….who says Rabbis can’t have fun?…. rsk http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/25/rick-perry-dancing-rabbis_n_980307.html
VIDEO – In Houston, Texas, a group of dancing rabbis has set the world of top tier NBA basketball alight with a performance which is helping promote the image of Judaism far beyond the court.
This YouTube video has become a sensation: A group of Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis paring traditional Hora, Texas square dancing and even 1980s style break-dancing at a Houston Rockets basketball game.

It may look spontaneous to the untrained eye, but these dancing rabbis have put a lot into this year’s “Hoops for Hanukkah.”
Since the video was posted online, the rabbis have been experiencing the powerful after-effects of social networks.
Members of the Houston Rockets even distributed pictures of the rabbis as they were dancing via Twitter and, then recorded a Hanukkah classic, posting it up on the team’s official Facebook page.

The theological discussions in Qatar of the arcana of climate treaties are irrelevant.
