ANarchists have taken hold in the world again. One can only imagine the purposes behind these unhappy people, but there is a complete history here at Commentary magazine:
Suddenly, then, an ideological philosophy and political movement that had been thought of as a dusty oddity, a relic of the late 19th century, has returned to the fore with enough consequence that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently denounced terrorism “whether it comes from the right, the left, from al-Qaeda, from anarchists, whoever it is.”
What accounts for the new appeal of anarchism? There is one explanation for those attempting to blow up buildings and kill people and another one for those trying to muck about with the Internet. For the bricks-and-mortar anarchists, the 2008 financial collapse gave surprising currency to the idea that their seemingly anachronistic philosophy was actually the only left-wing alternative to an overweening European corporate statism that had failed so spectacularly. The cyberanarchists, meanwhile, have found a dream home inside the Internet, which, as a medium for social and economic interaction, has inspired a degree of antinomian romanticism not known since the first wave of anarchists terrified Europe more than a century ago.More background can be found at the NY Post on the London protests. Concerns grow that the US is the next target of the professional anarchists, combined with unions.
Los Angeles is trying to find a way to evaluate schools and teachers. If you'll recall, they are testing teachers' students at the beginning and end of each school year and publishing the results.
In a threat to teachers' jobs, one California district is utilizing technology more than teachers. "Hybrid" schools are the rage of the future, some say.
Sorta like outsourcing, if you think about it.
Video has been uncovered of Obama declaring to the party faithful that the easiest way to swell the ranks of progressives, t
Jay Cost, the wonder whiz kid who breaks down numbers, over at Weekly Standard has analyzed the details of the political environment for Obama's reelection. He says the deficit is the Achilles Heel:
Where, then, does all of this leave us? I’ll make the following prediction. If there is nothing that President Obama and his team can do to resolve the budget deficit problem between now and next November, and if it does indeed figure largely in the campaign, we should expect a highly negative reelection campaign from the president. Perhaps it will not be on the order of LBJ in 1964, but it probably will be more negative than what Bill Clinton put forth in 1996 or George W. Bush offered in 2004. Republican efforts to rein in the budget deficit will be cast again and again as the party's perfidious attempt to realize its 80-year dream of destroying the social safety net.Unable to win in the arena of ideas through rational thought and reason, the Soros based group Media Matters is digging in the garbage cans of Fox tv hosts and radio giants like Hannity and Limbaugh.
One can only imagine what life is like for these people.
Imagine working for a tv network, the most popular in the country, and being hounded by creepy protesters bearing signs and screaming at your house, taking covert pictures wherever you go and digging into your life to find some smut they can distort to discredit it.
It's pretty darned appalling and a shame that any organization thinks that is the way to win an argument.
It reveals the moral osteoporosis of their cause.
David Brock, a "former conservative," is at the bottom of this. The liberals are having a "boot camp" in smut discovery.
Meanwhile ACORN recedes in the US but sets up offices internationally. The Blaze.
Whoever thought ACORN was an organization set up to aid the American poor ought to be shaking their heads in shame.
It's a front group for communists.
We remain vigilant.
