16/04: Our Orwellian President
Did everyone notice the administration's unremarked revival of the recently retired word "terrorist" when referring to its own citizens who are pro life, pro markets, and pro borders? So, NRA members and veterans are terrorists. Al Quaida are not. They are human causers of disaster.
This pretty much takes the cake, in my opinion. I don't know what is worse--the President's request, or the University's acqueisence. I no longer recognize my own country.
According to reports, the Obama administration felt that "it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context." You know, the context of speaking to Catholics at a Catholic university.
UPDATE: Don't miss this brilliant commentary here.

Out of 69 pages of pablum, here's the heart of the matter:
“[E]qual protection can only be defined by the standards of each generation.” (p. 16)
“The point in time when the standard of equal protection finally takes a new form is a product of the conviction of one, or many, individuals that a particular grouping results in inequality and the ability of the judicial system to perform its constitutional role free from the influences that tend to make society’s understanding of equal protection resistant to change.” (pp. 16-17)
Got that?
UPDATE: Allan Carlson nails it here.
UPDATE: Eugene Volokh discusses the slippery slope here.
