That’s all this is.” Hate to “mansplain” here
The 5 Biggest Things Liberals Get Wrong About Themselves
John Hawkins, If self-delusion were magic, average liberals would be David Blaine, David Copperfield and Houdini all rolled up into one. Most of what they say has no relation to what they’re doing, the policies they push rarely work and logic might as well be a strange, alien language to them. Since that’s the case,
The Liberal Lie So Big It May One Day Split the Country

Honor Thy Mother as Thyself
Suzanne Fields, Mother’s Day ain’t what it used to be. (Apologies to Mom for using a word she hated.) The day set aside to obey half of the Biblical commandment “Honor thy father and thy mother” is grounded root and branch in multiculti faith, whose diverse goals do not always have much to do with

Cultural Appropriation: A Modest Proposal
Michael Barone, “Cultural appropriation” has become the latest evil denounced by soi-disant social justice warriors, on campus and off.

Young women wearing
How Bill O’Reilly and Lena Dunham Rode a Cultural Wave to Different Places
