"When the Center for Media and Public Affairs made a non-partisan evaluation of network news broadcasts, it found that during the active war against [then-Iraqi dictator] Saddam Hussein, 51 percent of the reports about the conflict were negative. Six months after the land battle ended, 77 percent were negative; in the 2004 general election, 89 percent were negative; by the spring of 2006, 94 percent were negative.

The officer ended up pepper-spraying Mr. Palomino and hitting him with his baton. Mr. Garcia [former Texas state legislator and civil rights chairman for the League of United Latin American Citizens] says the officer's actions may have been justified by Mr. Palomino's refusal to obey, but it was not Mr. Palomino's fault he did not speak English.

"About half of Americans born at the turn of the 20th century had blue eyes, according to a 2002 Loyola University study in Chicago. By mid-century that number had dropped to a third. Today only about 1 of every 6 Americans has blue eyes, said Mark Grant, the epidemiologist who conducted the study. [. . .] A century ago, 80 percent of people married within their ethnic group, Grant said. Blue eyes -- a genetically recessive trait -- were routinely passed down, especially among people of English, Irish, and Northern European ancestry. By mid-century, a person's level of education -- and not ethnicity -- became the primary factor in selecting a spouse. As intermarriage between ethnic groups became the norm, blue eyes began to disappear, replaced by brown."

'I do want to subvert the criminal justice system,' he said unapologetically."

"Every year, about $500,000 of [Rush] Limbaugh's money goes to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

"It was parents' orientation at my son's new college when the young female co-ed introduced her academic pursuit as 'Women's Studies.' [. . .] 'Where are the degrees in Men's Studies?' I wanted to ask. Of course, there aren't any. Only the pro-lesbian, ego-centric, sexually perverse 'Women's Studies' majors and minors are considered politically correct. The clear bigotry and plain ridiculousness of such classes, and the messages they send our college men and women, seemed lost on the poor young girl. The reality is that she and thousands of co-eds across the country are being steeped in nothing more than the bitter propaganda, indoctrination and hypocrisy that fill the caldron of radical feminism."
