Tip of the petasus to Father Z of What Does the Prayer Really Say. Brian Fung of Atlantic Magazine says that the pro-life movement is aimed at harming poor minorities. Whereas Brian Fung of Atlantic thinks killing the offspring of poor minorities is helping them. Reminds Estase (as most things do) of Eighteenth Century England. In his Importance of the Guardian Considered, Tory firebrand and general asshole Jonathan Swift attacked a letter written by Richard Steele. Steele's crime? By suggesting that the Harley/Bolingbroke ministry should demolish the port of Dunkirk (which the ministry Swift wrote on behalf of actually wanted to do anyway), Steele was ordering about Queen Anne. Make sense? No, me neither. And this is why Fung's argument is dung. Just as how Swift was berating someone for insulting the Queen just because they advocated a policy, Fung is implying race animosity based on a policy position. The only difference is that two hundred years after his death, Jonathan Swift is recognized as a master literary figure and Brian Fung, well, he just writes for a liberal magazine.
Update: In reviewing election results on MSNBC, Nancy Giles comes to the same erroneous conclusion as Brian Fung. Giles theorizes that pro-lifers want "to build up the white race," neglecting the fact that it is by and large future black and hispanic voters whom abortion eliminates.
Update: An education weenie theorizes that the term "PB&J Sandwich" is racist because, get this, non-English speakers don't use the term sandwich to refer to materials between bread. In a related vein of idiocy, Shiitetown Mayor Rahm Emmanuel is under attack by. . . Salon.com? Yes, oddly enough, now the salonistas consider the President's former attack dog to be a terrible right-winger for opposing the almighty teacher's unions by asking for, gasp, accountablity for the best paid teachers in America. By the way, it isn't Chicagoans who will pay the bill for the nonfunctional Mercedes-Benz that is the Chicago Public Schools, it is we benighted downstate Illinoisans who will really subsidize this nonsense. But then again, an Accuracy in Media story by Mary Grabar details how a friend of Bill Ayers, bomber-educator, named Linda Darling-Hammond is instituting, with the support of the Obama Education Secretary Arnie Duncan, a new national education standard called Common Core. Contrary to what its name suggests, Common Core is intended to replace the literary tradition with popular culture, replace the founding documents with radical texts, and in general indoctrinate the students of America with Oh Blah Blah's social values. So perhaps the teacher's unions are unaware of what their mayor really intends for their job to be--Democratic party recruiters.
