Of heroism

Real and bogus. Ross Kaminsky contrasts the plight of two girls in Pakistan just trying to get a decent education with the whiny entitlement crowd represented so perfectly, and so disgustingly, by Sandra Fluke and her ilk.

I especially esteem the quote from Bastiat, particularly these lines:
Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor; by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources. This process is the origin of property.

But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder.
This is essentially the message of Obama and the Democrats to the productive classes: Stand and deliver!

”Your purse, citizen!”

    Obama says the Benghazi deaths were NOT OPTIMAL!

    I suggest the president is NOT OPTIMAL. Indeed, an effing disaster.

    BTW My father fought in Benghazi. The tooing and froing in WWII was known as The Benghazi Stakes.
