Uncle Tom Foolery and Much More
Breaking News June 26, 2013 Dear Jolt Fan, What a day yesterday was, no? And what a day that doth loometh, with Supreme Court decisions ready to drop on our heads. Keep reading NRO throughout to see if the Constitution prevails over the penumbras. The NRO wisdom machine has been working on overdrive. There's so very much output. If you want to OD on wisdom, you are at the right place. Here are just a few of the selections you should check out, and share. On yesterday's High Court rulings: Yes, Race Relations Have Improved Indeed. We've come a long way since 1965. So should the Voting Rights Act. SCOTUS rules in Shelby, and we agree in a sharp and wise editorial. And Roger Clegg chimes in on why it is a good decision. Uncle Thomists It's the theology of the Left – elevate the consecrated race card. Which was done immediately in reaction to yesterday's Shelby verdict. Michele Malkin's new column blasts the perpetrators. Meanwhile . . . Obama's Radical Climate Agenda Another NRO editorial blasts POTUS for his plan to orchestrate an EPA takeover of the US economy: "He intends to use the issue as the launching pad for a radical extension of federal power even more significant than his health-care takeover." Please share this with your friends. Betrayal In his new column, Jonah Goldberg vents on behalf of the conservative hoi polloi, increasingly untrustworthy of the GOP over immigration. Food Scamps In his new column, Michael Tanner explains how liberal theatrics over food stamp program cuts falls have fallen flat, and how the program subsidizes junk food, is rife with fraud, and is not targeted at the poorest. Governerd Avik Roy says: Let Jindal be Jindal, and calls the Louisiana Governor "the brainiest Republican of our time," whose nerdiness "is his greatest source of appeal" and "gives him his opportunity for leadership." Obama's Failing Foreign Policy It's so darn obvious. But man oh man, can Conrad Black say it with style and insight. A great column, as usual. Senator Markey Bob Costa reports the Massachusetts' special election results, while over at the Boston Herald, our Bay State pal Michael Graham offers a powerful post-mortem on why Gabriel Gomez's defeat "was more than just a lost campaign. It was a lost opportunity to do some repair on the brand, to send out a fighter who could make the case for the GOP and against one-party Democrat rule." Uncle! Not "Tom," no, just plain "Uncle!" As in, Enough! The more I write, the more you have to read, the less of NRO you will get to, so – get to it. Enjoy the day (and let's hope, when it ends, that it will have been a good one for America). Best, Jack Fowler P.S.: Please follow NRO's DC writers on Twitter. Much appreciated if you do. Here they are: Ramesh Ponnuru, Andrew Stiles, Katrina Trinko, Betsy Woodruff, Jonathan_Strong, Bob Costa, Jonah Goldberg, and last, but never least, the vacationing, beach-napping-firetruck-red-Irish-tanned, please-come-back-because-we-miss-Morning Jolt Jim Geraghty.
