| Three weeks before Election Day, first lady Michelle Obama sought to inject a sense of urgency into a crowd of college students Tuesday, telling them the presidential race “could all come down to what happens in a few key states like right here in North Carolina.” She called the election a stark “choice about our values and our hopes and our aspirations,” and leveled criticism at Republican priorities. “So for the next 21 days, we’re going to need you all to work like you’ve never worked before,” Obama said to loud applause from the 5,700 gathered

When a proposal to build a North Carolina Zoo was put forth, the late Jesse Helms said they should just put a fence around the town, saying UNC was the "University of Negroes and Communists."
It's a lovely place but the university is so far left-wing it can't stand up by itself. I love the old buildings in the town but not the liberals who infest it.
Telling UNC students to get to work re-electing Obama is analogous to telling an alcoholic to drink. (John Edwards and his late wife both attended UNC.)

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

Chechens have been locked for nearly two decades in a bitter, violent conflict against the Russian government. But why would two Chechen refugees harbor such anger toward the United States that they’d want to carry out a terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon? The answer is far from obvious, since the U.S. and Russia are often at odds on a wide variety of issues and the American officials regularly denounce the Russian Federation for engaging in human rights abuses, including in Chechnya.

John McCain (R-Ariz.) said at a press conference Thursday. “We will oppose only those amendments that are intended to prevent a comprehensive solution from passing.”

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh pointedly questioned Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on a recently released immigration bill, saying he was "having a hard time understanding" how the bill benefits Republicans. "I don´t understand why we´re doing something that the Democrats are salivating at," Limbaugh said. "I´m just having a tough time."Rubio, in turn, said that his motivations for the bill were not political. As it stands, he said that the nation´s immigration system is broken.

With Twitter in a furor over the latest conflicting reports on the Boston bombing investigation, a television industry executive sends the following email: While it´s a shame that credible "old media" organizations can blow something as big as this, it´s equally a shame that the twitterverse, blogosphere, etc, feels the need to dance on their graves. The snark on Twitter has reached new heights... it´s not about getting to the truth or serving the public good, it´s about who can make the wittiest joke to impress their friends.

Allahpundit referenced this in his QOTD, but thi LifeNews report last night bears a closer look at the latest revelations from inside the Gosnell charnel house, where staffers tried to flush remains of late-term abortions down the toilet, which Gosnell’s brother-in-law would then have to clear: (snip)He told the jury toilets backed up one-two times a week

Say what you will about abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, the man was something of a naturalist. After four weeks of testimony at the 72-year-old doctor’s murder trial, the witnesses’ one consistent description of the interior of Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society clinic at 3801-05 Lancaster Ave. was lots of plants and animals. (snip)There were one or more cats that had the run of the building and, dominating the waiting room, were huge glass tanks containing Gosnell’s collection of angel fish and turtles.

The New York Times continues to taunt those who are outraged by the atrocities coming to light in the Gosnell trial. Not only have they managed to avoid properly covering the trial, but they seem to have chosen to stick a thumb in the eye of anyone who is alarmed by the inhumanity. Consider, for example, Sunday’s New York Times lead editorial: “Courage in Kansas,” about the re-opening of an abortion clinic in Kansas, “four years after an anti-abortion extremist opened fire and killed a Wichita abortion provider, Dr. George Tiller

Many media observers were wondering if CNN´s Howard Kurtz was going to expose on his Reliable Sources program Sunday the press´s horrible coverage of the Kermit Gosnell murder trial. As fate would have it, Kurtz´s reporting was just as pathetic as virtually everyone else´s to date giving the matter a total of 90 seconds while sharing bogus statistics including the truly preposterous claim, "The conservative media didn´t do much either"

Marco Rubio was defensive and jargon-addled on ABC’s This Week. He was slick and effective on NBC and CNN and somewhere in between on FOX, But he was selling BS on all four networks. Here are three examples: 1. Rubio repeatedly said it would be “cheaper, faster and easier” for illegal immigrants to go back home, wait 10 years, and apply for a green card (under current law) than to go through the longer “alternative” green card path created by his amnesty bill.

When a lobbyist for families of Newtown shooting victims called the office of Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) to set up a meeting, the first response was a standard D.C. offer. They could get a meeting with her staff, and a quick and simple “hello” from Collins herself, they were told. The families’ answer: not good enough. According to their lobbyists, the families have a rule against staff-only meetings: They won’t do them. They insist on sitting down with the senators themselves.

They appear to be from Turkey, possibly Chechens from Turkey. That seems to be the nationality here. We´re told they were not students, in their early twenties. One 20, one 21.

While the media are bearing the brunt of public skepticism over the handling of the Boston bombing, the behavior of government is also eroding public trust. Yesterday´s promised but cancelled news briefing is just one symptom. Andrew McCarthy of PJM notes that "Misinformation rather than enlightenment has been the order of the day in the investigation of Monday´s terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon," and that part of it is the natural outgrowth of the desire of investigators to keep the details of their investigations secret, so as not to alert suspects.

Mark Kelly, the astronaut husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, on Thursday upbraided senators who voted against gun legislation by saying they voted “out of fear.” ”If that vote had been a secret ballot, I bet you it would have passed with 80 votes,” Kelly told reporters. He was referencing the compromise authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks for gun buyers. It failed to advance in the Senate, with a vote Wednesday afternoon of 54 to 46.

The Bears center, who was picked No. 1 overall in the recent WNBA Draft (to the Phoenix Mercury) and is considered by many to be an all-time great in women’s college basketball, casually explained her sexual orientation to Sports Illustrated. Griner was asked by SI’s Maggie Gray on the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to acceptance of sexual orientation; why the WNBA has been able to often embrace many lesbians within their sport, while male sports in America still waits on its first publicly gay player.

The terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America,” he wrote. “No more excuses. No more apologies.

Boo-hoo! David Sirota of Salon Magazine must be in mourning this morning, for the hopes he expressed in a piece titled "Let´s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American," have been dashed. One can only imagine he has plenty of company among members of the MSM who are smart enough not to admit their lust to blame their political foes for the Boston violence. Public opinion polls revealed that most Americans suspected the Marathon bombers were domestic ion origin, a suspicion one must guess they picked up from the wallpaper media, the MSM
