Colorist But Not Racist. By Andy Weddington
Excerpt: Has Mr. Obama's propensity to make hasty, though scripted, public remarks, without fact, regarding race akin cases e.g., Robert Gates and Trayvon Martin - black men "victimized" by non-blacks - revealed his true colors? Are those brash colors strengthened by not rushing to a microphone when race troubles are reversed? Other "off-color" remarks have not served him well.

Stop and Frisk Doesn't Target Minorities, It Protects Them. By Michael Barone
Excerpt: The effectiveness of this police practice, initiated by Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1994 and continued by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is not in doubt. The number of homicides -- the most accurately measured crime -- in New York fell from a peak of 2,605 in 1990 to 952 in 2001, Giuliani's last year in office, to just 414 in 2012.
Excerpt: You can always tell when the latest economic news is bad. As soon as a morning headline trumpets more job losses Barack Obama takes off on a bus tour, hell bent on demonizing Republicans who refuse to let him spend another trillion dollars on bankrupt solar companies. But it's not just that Obama is on the road with still another speaking tour....it's "where" Obama goes. He always heads out to college campuses. Did you ever wonder why? It's very simple. College kids are still young and impressionable, haven't had to face the task of meeting a payroll or even paying taxes. You may have noticed that Obama never wanders into "blue collar land".

On Not Provoking Muslims. By Baron Bodissey
Excerpt: I didn’t have time to introduce these arguments [at our Epsicopal church service in Central Virginia ]— we did, after all, have a Eucharist to celebrate — but I spoke to the woman after the service. I explained that the passive acceptance by Chris tians of Islamic violence is the first step towards full Islamization, and that Lebanon provides an instructive example of what lies ahead for Chris tian countries if we don’t wake up to what is going on and resist it.

Catholic Church Plans Massive Push for Amnesty. By Mike Flynn
Excerpt: If you attend Mass on September 8th, it is likely the priest's homily will be less about spiritual matters and more about the political imperative of passing an amnesty law for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants. Last week, the Catholic Church announced a massive, coordinated effort to press Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship. Catholics make up the largest single religious group in Congress.
Mark Zuckerberg unveils Internet plans for all. By Jon Swartz
Excerpt: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg late Tuesday announced on his Facebook profile page the formation of a partnership with Samsung Electronics, Nokia, Qualcomm and others to make Internet access available to everyone on Earth. The group — Internet.org — intends to make the Internet an option for the 5 billion people who don't have it. Only about one-third of the world's population – 2.7 billion – has Internet access. [They mean they are going to make it compulsory, doncha think? --Kate]
Excerpt: The nation's growing thug culture and attendant bash-mob violence breaking out in city after city could hurt tourism if the president doesn't speak out about it. Obama had no problem popping off about the shooting of Trayvon Martin (aka his adopted "son"), prejudging the facts in the case and assuming the shooter, described by the media as "white," racially profiled the aggressive Martin before killing him. A jury saw it as self-defense. (Many Blacks and nonBlack Liberals say it's unfair to highlight Black on White violence, while remaining hypersensitive to any sign of White on Black incidents. They get defensive of Blacks who commit various crimes against persons or property, on the basis of the history of past oppression of Blacks. But that comes under the heading of two wrongs don't make a right, and real leadership in the Black community should be shouting that out by now. Shooting an unknown White guy in the back and boasting about that kind of thinking does nothing to make up for the KKK murders of Blacks a century ago, beating up an old White man has no real connection with the beatings of civil rights activists 60 years ago. Tolerating and even some admiring of thug culture, with its glorification of violence, crime-related stacks of money, displays of weapons and gang signs, etc, is insane and undercuts the values of mores of those activists whose efforts and sacrifices were the engine that drove the success of the Civil Rights movement. Dwelling nonstop on the injustices of the past brings nothing positive to American Blacks of the present, and using those memories to justify bad behavior today is totally counterproductive for every American, regardless of color. --Del

Excerpt: I’d seen the pictures and knew the history, but I wasn’t prepared for what I saw: Each razed lot and burnt out home represented a family’s dashed hopes and shattered future. Outside the small, but lively, downtown were parts of what is now 130 square miles of sadness. Ethnic neighborhoods no longer exist. Culture and arts are gone. There is no retail. Only one movie theater is left for nearly 700,000 people. As one city analyst told me, “Detroit Del
