It’s Friday, November 13th, 2015…a few, brief observations on Google’s understanding of the make-up of America’s Military:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"veterans-day-2015-5639245909721088-hp2x\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Were one to base an understanding of the relative racial or gender composition of America’s veterans on Google’s November 11th doodle, one would come away believing women comprise 43% of America’s fighting forces, past and present, male minorities another 43%, while White men account for only a meager 14 % of those who’ve answered their country’s call.<\/b><\/p>\n

Except that even today, White males continue to be overrepresented in the U.S. Military, comprising approximately two-thirds of our Armed Forces, as are Black males. \u00a0Hispanics are markedly underrepresented, while women constitute less than 15% of our increasingly politically-correct forces. \u00a0And the percentage of White male pre-9\/11 veterans is even higher.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big deal? No, not in grand scheme of things. \u00a0It just fits the pattern of Liberalism’s larger strategy for changing everyday reality, in part by rewriting history.<\/b><\/p>\n

And for a gazillion dollar company controlling much of the information superhighway, one would expect Google to get it right. \u00a0But like every other Progressive-powered enterprise, they know so much that just isn’t so!<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, here’s The Gouge!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since we’re on the subject of those who know so much that just isn’t so, writing at NRO<\/em>, Victor Davis Hanson details how an abiding…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disregard for the Truth Advances the Left\u2019s Agenda<\/span><\/h1>\n

“…Subsequent fact-finding does not seem to dispel these untruths. Instead, what could<\/em> or should<\/em> have happened must<\/em><\/span> have happened, given that the noble ends of social justice are thought to justify the means deemed necessary to achieve them<\/em><\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The 60 Minutes\u00a0memos about Bush\u2019s Air National Guard service were never authenticated. Everyone now rejects the myth that the Benghazi attack was a result of a video. Investigators proved that Michael Brown was not executed by Officer Wilson. Ahmed [Clock Boy] was neither a young prodigy nor a victim of bias.<\/p>\n

But the legends are created and persist because they further progressive agendas<\/em><\/span> \u2014 and the thousands of prestigious and lucrative careers invested in them<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span>“<\/p>\n

Barack Obama is NOT Seeking “Legacy<\/span><\/a>“<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

“To the many gullible souls out there who truly think that Barack Obama is “legacy building” in his all-out assault on America, I implore you to bow out of the conversation because you are not seeing clearly.<\/p>\n

The term legacy<\/i> carries positive connotations<\/em><\/span> of something bequeath that is to the receiver’s benefit. Everything<\/em><\/span> that Barack Obama does is calculated to destroy America, which he despises<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/strong> This man no more cares about legacy than he fears being properly prosecuted by the white political leaders whose responsibility it is to remove him from office.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I focus on white leaders, because whites are still in the majority and they fill the majority of political offices. If the majority of political operatives were of some other ethnicity, I would lodge my complaint against that group. Ethnicity is an issue only because Obama is half-black and he uses that fact to intimidate guilt-conflicted white people.<\/span> Otherwise, he would have been impeached and likely in prison for treason by now.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Barack Obama’s sole aim has been, since he first entered politics and continues as he winds down this presidency, the complete destruction of America as it was founded<\/em><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"myworkhereisdone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is an insult to the intelligence of all Americans who must listen to elitist pundits on Fox news and elsewhere, and political drones in either party endeavor to make Obama’s behavior fit a pattern of normalcy. Attributing his destructive policies to “legacy building” is either self-delusion on the part of the people who make that claim or cowardliness<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>…”<\/p>\n

Or an absolute absence of discernment…and common sense.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Adult on Campus<\/span><\/h1>\n

Mitch Daniels offers a lesson to college administrators.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Mitch<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been wondering all week what happened to the grown-ups on American university campuses, and it appears we have a sighting. Mitch Daniels, the president of Purdue University, spoke up Wednesday about the children\u2019s revolt at Yale and Missouri in a letter \u201cto the Purdue community.\u201d<\/p>\n

It deserves to be quoted at length: \u201cEvents this week at the University of Missouri and Yale University should remind us all of the importance of absolute fidelity to our shared values. First, that we strive constantly to be, without exception, a welcoming, inclusive and discrimination-free community, where each person is respected and treated with dignity.<\/span> Second, to be steadfast in preserving academic freedom and individual liberty.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo years ago, a student-led initiative created the \u2018We Are Purdue Statement of Values,\u2019 which was subsequently endorsed by the University Senate. Last year, both our undergraduate and graduate student governments led an effort that produced a strengthened statement of policies protecting free speech. What a proud contrast to the environments that appear to prevail at places like Missouri and Yale<\/em><\/span>.<\/span> Today and every day, we should remember the tenets of those statements and do our best to live up to them fully.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So a commitment to tolerance can coexist on campus with a commitment to free speech and open debate. What a concept<\/span>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Though, as Katie Pavlich reports at\u00a0Townhall.com<\/em>, unlike Indiana, adults in the Show-Me State…at least those still possessed of even a modicum of common sense…remain in shockingly short supply:<\/strong><\/p>\n
