Teachers 86 Kid's Obama-Masked Talent, Fear Of 'Offending People'
Posted by: Greg Hengler at 7:51 PM
Tolerance is a puzzling virtue because the whole point of it lies in putting up with some things that are immoral, offensive, erroneous, in poor taste, or in some other sense bad. In the “old school” years of Bible-believing/God-fearing folk there was tolerance shown to those who broke an objective standard rooted in Judeo-Christian values. This idea of an objective reality rooted in Judeo-Christian standards of right or wrong has given way to the “it’s all good” generation of people trying to “keep it real” (see real stupid). How do they keep it so “real”? Their feelings tell them how real it tiz.  So we got what we have here in the video. Someone’s delicate feelings were scratched and that was enough to shut the kid out of the school's talent show.  A perfect example of liberal “tolerance.”

As we see here, the most formidable obstruction to free speech on campus, however, is not the direct censorship code but a political and social environment in which people with politically incorrect opinions are downcast, slandered, ostracized, and ignored. Even though they do not constitute a majority, politically correct campus activists (especially teachers) do make up a kind of “moral majority,” enjoying tremendous leverage within an environment that is already hypersensitive to any indications of racism or bigotry. In several instances, some highly publicized and others relatively unknown, professors/teachers who have opposed politically correct nostrums have found themselves unemployed, or shamed by administrative reprimands and sanctions.  Numerous other professors and students have received the message: rather than jeopardize being pulled into a vortex of allegations, sensitivity indoctrination, or censure, they naturally refrain from articulating unpopular sentiments; they censor themselves. This kid will quickly learn to follow the party line or simply shut up.
 
In this country, for the foreseeable future, the chief danger to moral, cultural, and religious toleration arises not from our avowed religions (as many on the Left adhere to) but from the unavowed and illiberal religion of liberalism itself.

Lingerie MySpace Mayor Recalled...
Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 7:27 PM

The image “http://media.katu.com/images/080226_carmen_gronquist.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
...would do it again...

By a vote of 142 to 138 the Arlington Oregon mayor who posed in her skivvies on MySpace and then was stunned that a)her voters would find out, and b)that they would care was recalled.

Firmly grasping non-reality she still believed the recall vote had more to do with her firing of two workers from the municipal golf course...

Some of her defenders on message boards this morning are claiming this doesn't rise to the level of offense of Billy Jeff's bad behavior in the Oval Office. The argument is since what he did was "worse" and he didn't lose his job...

(eyes rolling)

Acting on a hunch I've also been scanning the internets all morning to attempt to decipher her party affiliation - which strangely is quite the secret. That puts it squarely in the realm of being a liberal democrat... if she were a conservative, and caught all this heat - she would be the poster child for "hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite" all over the nation.
