At the end of the Civil War, freed ex-slaves were ready to take their place in American society as full human beings with the promise of all rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution through the enactment of the 13TH Amendment (abolition of slavery), the  14TH Amendment (rights to citizenship and due process of law), and the  15TH Amendment (giving black freedmen the right to vote).

I just read the sad story about the 12 year old girl who died very suddenly of the flu in Minneapolis. Then I came to this line in the story Jasmine, who had asthma, had not had a flu shot, according to Alonzo [her step grand-mother], because her mother had no health insurance. According to this KARE11 site, the Minnesota Visiting Nurses Association was giving them out at Cub Foods for $25, no insurance required. Walgreens and CVS had similar programs in their stores.

Just Call Me Hussein Day was started by the MOMocrats as a response to idiots like Bill Cunningham and others whose ignorance is exceeded only by their utter lack of imagination. We're blogging to share our experiences of having our names questioned, defiled or abused. “Hey Hairy Fat Shit Bird!” I kept walking, gritting my teeth and closing my eyes. “Hey! Hey Hairy FAT SHIT BIRD!” I stopped walking. Scott was getting closer behind me. I could smell the part in his hair, his ten-year-old a

Reading through a recent issue of the magazine he founded, National Review, on the day of his death, I was reminded that, though there are certainly things to admire from a libertarian perspective about William F. Buckley, many of which you've read here on this site this week, it takes a fair amount of "defining bad conservatism down" to praise the late Mr. Buckley unreservedly as one of the good 'uns. The article that got me thinking this was a review by NR Senior Editor Ramesh Ponnuru of the
