Around the Conservative Web - Weekend of May 31

This is the weekly post where I celebrate the fact that I have successfully made it through another weekend without posting anything on Saturday or Sunday. I offer this up to those - like me - who need to catch up on what they missed over the weekend. Here are some of the more interesting, entertaining, informational, or just downright funny right-wing blog posts from this weekend.

Ace of Spades: Olbermann's a Liar

Oh really? Note that Olbermann didn't ask Mancow about the hoax emails on the air and let the audience in on that, or let it judge Mancow's response to see if they too were as easily persuaded by the buffoonish cow-insemination major Olbermann. He did not merely fail to disclose this fact, he actively concealed it from the world, and only now -- when exposed as a liar -- does he tell us about all the serious fact-checking he did behind the world's back to "confirm" the stunt as genuine.

Also note that, as Ann Coulter says, more reporters have now been waterboarded than terrorists. So it is apparently not particularly difficult to get a trained guy to waterboard you... safely, and properly.

Flopping Aces: Barack and Michelle's Date Night

Imagine for a moment the “news” media reaction if President Bush had taken Laura out for a night in New York with half the Secret Service, the U.S. Military, New York’s finest and the news media tagging along at taxpayer expense?

Right of Course: The road to racism…paved with good intentions

Now we are hearing about what Judge Sotomayor intended when she spoke about the superior decision making skills of a Latina woman.  This is because the Democrat Party has become a party where intentions are more important than the actual results of action.  To explain why this is, I have to first give you a different view of the political arena.

Doug Ross: RED ALERT: Dealergate -- Quantitative Analysis Indicates Clinton Donors Rewarded By Selective Closings

Conclusion: "a significant and highly positive correlation between dealer survival and Clinton donors":

A must read. 

Patriot Room: I Wish I Could send my Daughter to School Here - But I'd have to move to California

Not many schools in California recruit teachers with language like this: "We are looking for hard working people who believe in free market capitalism. . . . Multicultural specialists, ultra liberal zealots and college-tainted oppression liberators need not apply."

Track-a-Crat: Exporting Gay Pride to Iraq

We can’t foster democracy in the Middle East but we can force respect for homosexuality onto them?

Something tells me that the second is going to be even less popular than the first.

Last Friday, 29 May, the US Embassy in Iraq held its first-ever gay pride party in Baghdad.

The Black Sphere: Obama's Cyber Security Farce

Frankly, with all the internal wars being waged by Obama against America, I say to cyber thieves, "Stand down." Why bother doing against America what is already being successful done from within...by the guy with the keys to the kingdom?! Obama is doing a better job of destroying America than all hackers, foreign and domestic—combined.

For those of you who believe that Obama is setting up some innocent new department—think again. This is the same guy who won two elections by having divorce records of his opponents made public.

Green Hell: Propaganda - Cap and Trade

Desperate greens really will say anything to advance their agenda (i.e., totalitarianism-via-global-warming-regulation).

Start Thinking Right: Democrats weep over Sotomayor, Targeted Thomas, Estrada

There is no racism like the racism of the left, especially when they are opposing a conservative of color.  He or she is an Uncle Tom or an Aunt Jemimah.  A race traitor.  An “Oreo Cookie” (or a “Twinkie” for a “white-acting” Asian, or a “coconut” for a “white-acting” Hispanic).  You had better damn well two the line and be the kind of black that liberals want you to be or they will come after you.

DonovanTalk: Obama losing Liberal Support

Obama's popularity will finally cave. He has no natural sizable national American political base. He sold out America to win the election. When it goes, his popularity will vanish quicker than his campaign promises.

Greg Larson: Racial Consciousness and Faction

Namely, the desire of the political, elite left to raise the race issue ad nauseum.  This is not really multiculturalism, it the beginning of factionalism which, as Hanson explicitly states devolves into tribalism.  That is the opposite of the universal aspirations of America.

For America to retain its strength, it must become color blind and race blind.  Anything else enshrines parochial loyalties rather than broad, national loyalties.

That should catch us both up.
