With the inevitable wall-to-wall coverage of the release from jail of Paris Hilton, will anyone ask how deeply she held her original ideology if a three week time out was sufficient to change it in its entirety?
If our churches won’t press us to face moral issues and clearly delineate right from wrong, who will? Even the Jedi had the Force and an apprentice program. What do we have?
I know it’s Mississippi, but how the hell does Trent Lott manage to get reelected after dining on his foot so many times?
How do millions of “undocumented workers” cross our borders under Orange Alert while the nation is at war? Do we need to go to Super Duper Double Neon Red Alert before we get serious about securing our borders?
Can anyone give me a guideline as to which laws I can safely ignore and which I must obey? We seem to have become a “Nation of Suggestions” instead of a Nation of Laws.
What’s fair about the Fairness Doctrine? Would we label a bill for the euthanizing of puppies the “All Dogs Go To Heaven Act?” Or maybe we could codify open borders and amnesty by passing something like an “Immigration Reform Act”; oops, never mind.
Why do we have to show tolerance for Islam when there is no possibility of reciprocation? If Islam is so great, why do so many of its adherents live in mud huts? They’ve been working on this since the seventh century; shouldn’t there be more progress than this? Is belligerent self-pity really that overwhelming a force to be reckoned with?
Since we’ve been studying multiculturalism for a couple of decades now, how many students graduate with a working knowledge of a foreign language? Does anyone have an understanding of the political structure of Sudan? What are the cultural ramifications for a country accepting a quarter of its population in the form of illiterate foreign nationals? One would think by studying other cultures for a couple of decades, we would know more by now. Shouldn’t we?
We’ve had “Afro-Centric” studies for a couple of decades now. Any news? Pray do enlighten me with the brilliance derived from this massive effort. Meet me at the NAACP, if you can still find an open branch.
If the feminist movement were serious about its agenda, wouldn’t they be supporting the liberation of millions of women in the Middle East? If they were serious, I mean.
I’m just asking.
