  Ward Churchill has been fired from the the University of Colorado. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.I don't think he should have been fired for his 9-11 "little Eichmanns" comment, although he's earned any and all social opprobrium that comes with such a vile exercise of free speech. No, he was correctly fired for faking his credentials and

  From Victor Davis Hanson:But at least the Patriot Act passed both houses of Congress with wide public support.

  area in which lefties show outright contempt for voting is with the darling of the unions, the card check. Allow me to explain what that is.A card check is a way to certify a union without an election. What happens is a union organizer talks to individuals and gets them to sign a union card.

  In an editorial for a school newspaper, I criticized how the school's four ethnic theme dorms (African-American, American Indian, Asian and Latino) stereotyped minorities by categorizing individuals by race rather than considering broader personal experiences and values.

  After you read this I'll bet you'll be thinking, "I'm glad I don't live in Quebec."If the guy had molested a girl, I'll bet the union would claim that fact irrelevant if he were working in an all-boys school. Honestly, I don't see any real difference between the two situations.
