The scourge of entitlement:
"The Carroll County Board of Commissioners and county schools officials are considering a proposal to provide free tuition to Carroll Community College to the children of county employees and teachers.
Commissioner Dennis Frazier, R-District 3, introduced the proposal at a June 10 joint meeting between the commissioners and the school board as a way to attract and retain teachers in Carroll. Frazier again brought up the idea at the community college's board of trustees meeting on June 17.
"My idea is anyone who works for Carroll County should be able to send their kids to Carroll Community College for free. If we can start with teachers, we could eventually offer free tuition to county employees," said Frazier, an ex-officio member of the community college board."
Fuck you. If you're not honest about the fact you use self-entitlement to get free shit from other people's money then you deserve no respect.

About those record corporate profits.
Yeah.
No.

Like I said, The Daily Beast is the only liberal site I can digest and respect. Even their commenters give me hope.
DB tackles the insane attack of freedom of speech on college campuses.
Something Daniel Pipes and Martin Kramer have been discussing for over a decade now.

Oh. You want more examples?

Aaron Driver is a despicable human being without a soul and much of a brain.
But he shouldn't be in prison for uttering ISIS sympathies.
Let him go fight alongside with them and see first hand what one of humanity's most depraved band of deranged degenerates are capable of.
The thought police is not something in neat novels anymore.
It actually happens.

A couple of years ago I watched part of an episode where celebrities seek their ancestral roots. In this particular episode Harry Connick jr. discovered his family owned slaves. His disgust upon discovering this points to the bizarre notion of somehow because someone did something bad in the past reflects upon you today.
It's actually an irrational and emotional response.
If anything, I think Connick should be disgusted with his father:
"The prosecutorial misconduct in Thompson’s case was no anomaly. According to a report by the Innocence Project of New Orleans, District Attorney Harry F. Connick’s office withheld evidence favorable to the defense in at least nine death row cases. Four death row convictions were overturned because of the misconduct.
In spite of this legacy, the Supreme Court ruled that the violation in the Thompson case was “a single incident,” and that no pattern of misconduct could be established. The majority opinion acknowledges the four other overturned convictions but argues that they don’t count because different types of evidence were withheld in those cases. In her dissent, Justice Ginsburg writes, “the conceded, long-concealed prosecutorial transgressions were neither isolated nor atypical.” She cites ten items of evidence that were withheld from Thompson’s defense, including police reports, audiotapes and blood evidence that would have seriously undermined Thompson’s conviction. "

Justice Roberts strikes again.
This time he essentially reworked the stated intent of the ACA to fit his decision to uphold the subsidies stating essentially that words don't matter in such legal matters.
Welcome to the new tyranny.

"Campus-climate surveys distributed at several major universities
included a trigger warning to alert students that some of the questions
would contain “anatomical names of body parts” because apparently seeing
those words might be traumatic."

More?
You people are masochists!
Some phrases now deemed unacceptable and classified as 'micro-aggressions':
“There is only one race, the human race.”
“America is a melting pot.”
“I don’t believe in race.”
To a person of color: “Are you sure you were being followed in the store? I can’t believe it.”
“I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”
“Of course he’ll get tenure, even though he hasn’t published much — he’s Black!”
“Men and women have equal opportunities for achievement.”
“Gender plays no part in who we hire.”
“America is the land of opportunity.”
“Everyone can succeed in this society, if they work hard enough.”
“Affirmative action is racist.”
“America is a melting pot.”
“I don’t believe in race.”

What a future filled with losers we have lined up.
