Posted by | Jul 25, 2013 | |

It’s always a great day when the President of the United States shoehorns himself into a local law enforcement issue in order to gin up racial resentment.   It was bad enough back in March of 2012 when Obama said, “If I had a son … he’d look a lot like Trayvon.” Now, he has waded in even further by claiming that 35 years ago, Trayvon could have been him. That is a complete crock: Barack Obama, far from being a child of the civil rights struggle who had to “work twice as hard to get ahead because of...

The next ConservativeLA Radio show (on Duane FM in the Hughniverse, Friday, 07/26, 7:00 Pacific/10:00 Eastern) will be Twangtastic!

  “Have you no shame?” These were the words addressed to Sen Joe McCarthy during his infamous anti-communist Senate hearings.   Subsequently, regardless of the merits of his allegations, Sen McCarthy was driven out of the public square and his concerns about communist infiltration of our government were dropped from the public consciousness. For all of human history, shame has been one of the most powerful emotions for driving normative behaviors. Shame has been used by Presidents, Priests and Parents to control soldiers, children and mobs. Authors as diverse as Shakespeare, Hugo, and Dostoyevsky have used shame as the central...
