Obama’s fair share

Who voted to remove the US flag from UC Irvine?
[For reference, please read this first.]
And here they are:
Amazing, yes, that there isn’t one Caucasoid amongst them, eh wot?
However, I suggest that those students are sexist, handicappist, racist, weightist and religionist, as they clearly appear to lack an Islamist in the mix, a transgender Albanian dwarf, a cross-dresser, a bald lesbian, a fat Tongan, a person in a wheelchair and a convicted felon.

One Clinton is lying
Either Hillary or Bill.
Which one?
Tuesday, Hillary Clinton held a press conference in the UN in front of reporters. Except, wait: these weren’t regular US reporters; these were UN reporters. The UN requires a 24-hour notice for a conference before it will allow all — read: outside — reporters to cover an event. In this case, there was no 24-hour notice.
Might you suspect this is purposeful, since one reporter asked if her situation with e-mails would have occurred had she been a man?
Softball City.
Hillary, in the Tuesday press conference at the UN, quite clearly stated that her email server “contains personal communications from my husband and me.”
Really, Hillary?
Because if so, there’s a problem. Bill Clinton said he’s written only two e-mails in his entire life. From the WallStreetJournal.com:
Bill Clinton Still Doesn’t Use Email
by Laura Meckler
The former president, who does regularly use Twitter TWTR -3.68%, has sent a grand total of two emails during his entire life, both as president, says Matt McKenna, his spokesman. After leaving office, Mr. Clinton established his own domain that staff use–@presidentclinton.com. But Mr. Clinton still doesn’t use email himself, Mr. McKenna said.
As president, Mr. Clinton’s first email was a message to John Glenn, the former senator and astronaut who in 1998 was making a return trip to space. Mr. Glenn wrote Mr. Clinton, and the president replied. “Hillary and I had a great time at the launch,” Mr. Clinton wrote in his note. “We are very proud of you and the entire crew, and a little jealous.”
Therefore, one of you Clintons is lying.
Not “prevaricating” or “mis-stating” or “mis-remembering.”
Lying.
In this instance, oddly enough, I’m betting Bill is telling the truth. Hillary is empowered, she is arrogant, she feels entitled, she is used to being treated with deference for, literally, decades. She does not live in reality.
Hillary, any response to that?

UC Irvine students despise America
UC Irvine chose illegals over the American flag. It is termed a “weapon of nationalism.”
From Breitbart.com:
UC Irvine Student: US Flag Banned to Avoid ‘Triggering’ Hurt Feelings Among Illegals
by Adelle Nazarian
UCI student Matthew Guevara, who sits on the Student Association board, authored the resolution (R50-70) to ban the U.S. flag from the association’s lobby wall. The resolution passed narrowly on Thursday in a 6-4 vote in favor, with two abstentions, but was overturned and vetoed on Saturday during a private meeting held by the Associated Student’s Executive Cabinet by a 4-1 vote.
Imagine that. The American flag voted as offensive by some ignorant puerile male with a Mexican name.
But even more specifically, by a Mexican Leftist:
Penned by Matthew Guevara, a student in the school of social ecology, the resolution stated: “Designing a culturally inclusive space aims to remove barriers that create undue effort and separation by planning and designing spaces that enable everyone to participate equally and confidentially.”
“The American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism,” the resolution continued. “Flags not only serve as symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism, but also construct cultural mythologies and narratives that in turn charge nationalistic sentiments.”
The resolution noted that in certain spaces “freedom of speech” can be interpreted as “hate speech.”
The American flag is, therefore, colonialistic, imperialistic, nationalistic.
And finally, there it is, admitted by Leftists:
“Freedom of speech” can be interpreted as “hate speech.”
Leftsts admit that is where they want to go. They are the final arbiters of what can be considered “hate speech” and what cannot. They are the “deciders-in-chief” of who can say what, and the concomitant penalties for straying.
The “ban,” however, didn’t remain in place for terribly long.
Four days after its birth, the radical push to remove national symbols from student government facilities was dead. On Saturday, student leaders vetoed the resolution, according to the Times.
Because of this incident, Fornicalia may decide to address the issue legislatively — and how said is that?
On Friday, state Sen. Janet Nguyen (R-Santa Ana) told the AP that legislators may introduce a state constitutional amendment prohibiting “state-funded universities and college campuses from banning the United States flag.”
Breitbart.com provides some additional insight:
A student who spoke with Breitbart News on condition of anonymity that she heard a member of the ASUCI discussing “the [American] flag and how it triggered people.” She then said she believed a major line of reasoning behind the legislation to remove the flag could have been a “precautionary step” to prevent a trigger situation where if someone is an “illegal citizen or [they] have citizenship issues, it makes them feel bad.
“But me and my friends were like, ‘Dude, you’re in America. It’s the American flag,’” she added.
The issue, according to her, was that the flag was placed in a common space, and she felt that if it were placed in a private area like a personal office, it would not have been a big deal. “And then there were people who were like ‘the flag triggers me’ — that was their exact wording, too.”
She added: “Everything can be a trigger. How far is it going to go? If everyone says something bothers them about a shared space then that could be a problem because then there will be nothing on any walls.”
How far will it go?
It will go as far as allowed, until there is pushback and common sense injected. In this case, common sense and pushback have won the day.
For now.

Mother Jones: 3 meals a day is racist
Can you think of anything more stupid than this?
Of course I can:
The woman having her Planet Fitness membership revoked because she objected to a man who claims he “feels like a woman” being in the womens’ locker room;
Or the UC Irvine Associated Students removing the American flag from a common room because it was oppressive and racist, especially to illegals.
Alright, sorry, only one ridiculous topic at a time. From MotherJones.com:
Why You Should Stop Eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
by Kiera Butler
Meals are good, and snacking is bad. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if you eat dinner with your family, you will keep your girlish figure and your kids will be healthier. Taking a lunch break will make you succeed at your job.
Okay, now forget all that. Because as it turns out, the concept of three square meals a day has practically zero to do with your actual metabolic needs. And our dogmatic adherence to breakfast, lunch, and dinner might actually be making us sick.
They observed that the eating schedule of the native tribes was less rigid—the volume and timing of their eating varied with the seasons. Sometimes, when food was scarce, they fasted. The Europeans took this as “evidence that natives were uncivilized,” Carroll explained to me in an email. “Civilized people ate properly and boundaried their eating, thus differentiating themselves from the animal kingdom, where grazing is the norm.”
So there is the so-called “racial component.” Butler says:
Dogmatic adherence to mealtimes is anti-science, racist, and might actually be making you sick.
Leftists just can’t refrain from turning every aspect of life into some kind of racist/sexist/-ist issue — even meals.
How droll, depressing, tedious and unhappy it must be to be a Leftist.
