Dreams Into Dust: The Speech on Race Obama Will Never Give

 ... Many Americans, whether they voted for him or not, believed Obama when he said: “There is not a black America or a white America or a Latino America or an Asian America; there’s the United States of America.” When he gave that speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, he was an instant national sensation.

... After six years of this administration, we now know the real Barack Obama. President Obama could have finished the job of binding up this nation’s wounds. But this man was never about healing racial wounds. Instead, he used the office of the presidency to fan racial tensions and to exploit select, isolated incidents, all while pretending he is a uniter, not a divider.

Who is the real Rachel Notley? How worried should we be?

Ezra Levant provides some interesting background and parses her election night speech:



A 51 year-old politician wears a Che Guevara wristwatch? Good grief!

Megyn Kelly exposes more American head-in-the-sand cluelessness on free speech

Yesterday, Megyn Kelly attempted to school Bill O'Reilly on free speech saying that he was, siding with those who want to silence the critics of Islam - ie. siding with the jihadists.

On tonight's The Factor, O'Reilly doubled down on his cluelessness, saying that what Pamela Geller and her organization were doing and saying is "stupid".  Kelly's response:

"The relevant question is not: Did those under attack say something offensive? The relevant question is: What do we do about a group that wants to kill us for exercising our constitutional rights?"

O'Reilly and Fowler (and most of his lib/left ilk) are equally dense on the notion of free speech. All they want to debate are the wisdom, or otherwise, of what Geller is saying and how she says it.  That's fine, it's a debate they can have with Geller but it's entirely irrelevant to this incident.  What they don't want to talk about are: Geller's freedom to say what she said, and; how to deal with those who mark her for murder for saying it.  But what O'Reilly and Fowler say they want is for Geller stop saying what she said (or to say something else) to avoid upsetting her wannabe killers - which is exactly what the jihadists want. That other, non-violent Muslims may be upset by Geller's speech is also irrelevant.  They are free to criticize her and to try to convince her to take a different approach.

Update: More from Megyn Kelly this evening

Pigs have flown in Alberta

Bye, bye Jim Prentice!!

The NDP took the cities.  Guess all those PC's were more progressive than conservative.

Ezra Levant reacts: "God help us all!"

Pamela Geller attacked by first by Islamist terrorists - then by feminista media hacks (she "asked for it")

Media clueless on free speech

The Muslim jihadist attack on the Garland Texas Mohammed cartoon event hosted by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer proved once again that the leftist media (which is to say nearly all of it) is completely out to lunch on the meaning of free speech.

Even Bill O'Reilly comes off thick as a post on the subject:
