Some statements and arguments are so asinine that youd have to be an academic or a leftist to take them seriously. Take the accusation that Republicans and conservatives are conducting a war on women. Does that mean theyre waging war on their daughters, wives, mothers and other female members of their families? If so, do they abide by the Geneva Conventions bans on torture, or do they engage in enhanced interrogation and intimidation methods, such as waterboarding, with female family members? You might say that leftists dont mean actual war. Then why do they say it? What would you think of a white conservative mayors trying to defund charter schools where blacks are succeeding? While most of New Yorks black students could not pass a citywide math proficiency exam, there was a charter school where 82 percent of its students passed. New Yorks left-wing mayor, Bill de Blasio, is trying to shut it down, and so far, Ive heard not one peep from the Big Apples civil rights hustlers, including Al Sharpton and Charles Rangel. According to columnist Thomas Sowell, the attack on successful charter schools is happening in other cities, too (tinyurl/nxulxc). U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder recently stated that we must revisit the laws that ban convicted felons from voting. Why? According to a recent study by two professors, Marc Meredith of the University of Pennsylvania and Michael Morse of Stanford, published in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (tinyurl/pgolu8x), three-fourths of Americas convicted murderers, rapists and thieves are Democrats. Many states restrict felons from voting; however, theres a movement afoot to eliminate any restriction on their voting. If successful, we might see Democratic candidates campaigning in prisons, seeking the support of some of Americas worst people.
