• University Will Investigate Christian Professor’s Intelligent Design Class Following Atheist Furor

  Big Brother certainly can’t permit anyone to challenge students to think!

• Bob Woodward: Some in Obama Admin Lying About Benghazi, Acting ‘Nixonian’

  Watergate: Zero Americans killed or injured. Benghazi: Four Americans Killed, unknown number injured. You tell me which was worse!

• Why, Exactly, Did the UK Just Vote Down Flying One of Its Own Flags?

  In reply to DNOLAN.

  Note that the Muslims quoted had no problem with the flag. It was only the busybody Ms. Jackson who thought ” it might offend the town’s 16 Muslim residents”.

  I hope the thousands of young British men buried in flanders appreciate that the English flag will be flown in their honor on Armistice Day each year.

  Meanwhile, what’s a “Bloom Flag”? How many English men and women died fighting for it?

  The Union Jack is hardly ‘cross- free’: It has the red St. George’s Cross of England and Wales, the white St. Andrew’s cross for Scotland and the Red St. Patrick’s Cross.

  The St. George’s Cross pre- dates the Crusades: it is the flag the Pope gave Duke William of Normandy to carry into battle in the Conquest. I wonder if Ms. Jackson knows that?

  I just realized- too late that the Radstock Town Council DEFEATED the idea of not flying the English flag proposed by university lecturer Eleanor Jackson. I should have read the entire article, not reacted to the poorly and improperly constructed headline. My apologies.

  Radstock Town Council, I remain amazed that you even took this proposal under consideration, but I applaud your defeating it.

  Will Ms. Jackson be leading the fight to remove the plus sign from keyboards and mathematics texts next?

  There is not much one can do in life that won’t be “offensive’ to someone else- except maybe curl up in a ball and cry. But then someone would be “offended” by the sobbing.

  Are we to take down every cross on every church spire, in every cemetery just because some Muslim “might be offended”? What about our rights?

  Religious tolerance means I accept your commitment to your religion, its views and symbols just as you accept mine. I don’t interfere with your practice of your religion, you don’t interfere with mine. We all ‘just get along’!

  Shame on you, Radstock Town Council! Would that you had the common sense and courage of your ancestors!

• The Way This Tea Party Group Responded to the IRS’ Request for its Reading List Is Pretty Awesome

  May 15, 2013 at 2:04pm

  Well done, Ms. Bower!

  “This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” — Winston Churchill

• EPA Accused of Playing Favorites with Green, Conservative Groups: Another Scandal for the White House?

  Memo to TheBlaze Editors: It is not enough to report the truth. You must report it in a clear, concise, correct and understandable way. That means correct choice of words. “Conservative” has a different meaning than “Conservation”. USE A DICTIONARY!!

• Rush Limbaugh Reportedly Considering Major Radio Shake-Up

  May 6, 2013 at 12:05pm

  I recall listening to both Mr. Beck and Mr. Limbaugh the day they first commented on Ms. Fluke. Both sought to turn the story into a satire: both failed. If anything, Mr. Beck- and his cohorts- were more critical, more insuting of Ms. Fluke than Mr. Limbaugh.

  Yet no one boycotted Mr. Beck. In fact, though Carbonite dropped Mr. Limbaugh (who literally made them a success), they stayed with Mr. Beck!

  It was a mistake. But it has been interesting to see how the Progressives targeted only Mr. Limbaugh. Perhaps they thought they could more easily take him down, perhaps they rated him the more important target.

  At any rate, they failed. Mr. Limbaugh has and will survive- and prosper. We are all better for that. And- as Mr. Beck has shown- the listeners (viewers, supporters) are loyal to the message and the messenger, not the broadcasting company.

• Will Pantless Female Student Who Dressed Like the Pope While Handing Out Condoms Be Suspended? University Responds to Catholic Anger

  May 2, 2013 at 7:19pm

  “All in good fun”? “Harmless”? What would have been the reaction if she dressed (or undressed) as Mohammed? Or President Obama? Would the students and faculty be as forgiving of her mocking either of them?

  The reality is Carnegie Mellon’s President is acting only because this became a national story. For that we must thank TheBlaze, KDKA- TV and the few others who covered her uncovered masquerade.
