Away In A Manger

For those who have not heard it, RedStateVT presents the Elizabeth Warren nativity story. Sixty-three years ago Warren was born in a tepee on an Indian reservation in North Dakota. Her father was Colin Wentworth Warren III, a corporate executive, and her stay-at-home mother was Little Sewing Bear. Warren would go on to became a professor at Harvard Law where she never told anyone about her Native American heritage, not wanting to be viewed as someone who traded on her diversity background.


Knoxed Out
The Supreme Court’s ruling this week in Knox v. Service Employees International Union is one of the most brazen of the Roberts court. It shows how defiantly the five justices act in advancing the aggressive conservatism of their majority on the court.


The court’s moderate liberals were rightly dismayed by the majority’s willingness to breach court rules in pursuit of its agenda. (NYT editorial, 6/22/2012)


Conservatives are conservatives, but Liberals are "moderate liberals." This one had us falling on the floor laughing. It is entirely in keeping with the manner in which the modern Left attempts to hide their own extremism or to alter the fundamental facts.  To wit, dismayed to discover that George Zimmerman was not white and hence they could not advance the story line of white prejudice, he is described as a "white Hispanic."


Well RedStateVT is fighting back. Liberals are now "liberal Liberals."


Bane
Bain structured deals so that it was difficult for the firm and its executives to ever really lose, even if practically everyone else involved with the company that Bain owned did, including its employees, creditors and even, at times, investors in Bain’s funds. (NYT, 6/22/2012)


The New York Times has already done the Mitt Romney's Bain Capital screwed companies story, the Mitt Romney's multiple house story, the Mitt Romney's wife's expensive horses story, the Mitt Romney was not really a good governor of Massachusetts story, and now they return to the Bain Capital story. How about getting some new material? (You know they are just dying to do the "cult of Mormonism" story, but that will likely be their "October surprise."
