“Happy Ramahanuqwanzmas.”

OPERATION LUMP OF COAL: STAGE TWO!

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 4, 2004 12:55 PM

Earlier this week, many of you contacted Denver mayor John Hickenlooper (MileHighMayor@ci.denver.co.us) after I wrote about his effort to replace the city’s “Merry Christmas” sign with a “Happy Holidays” sign. As you all know by now, Hickenlooper heard us–and tons of other protesters– loud and clear. The phrase “Merry Christmas” will not be removed from [...]

MY CHRISTMAS CRUSADE

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 2, 2004 02:36 AM

The persecution never ends. Denver has launched war against a church group that wanted to march in the city’s Christmas parade “Parade of Lights.” (I hate, hate, hate that p.c. euphemism.)
From the Denver Post: Parade Organizers Say Christmas Carols May Be Offensive To Others
Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper recently announced that next year the phrase [...]

OH, DEAR LORD…

From Fox News…Students Free to Thank Anybody, Except God:
ANNAPOLIS, Md. � Maryland public school students are free to thank anyone they want while learning about the 17th century celebration of Thanksgiving � as long as it’s not God.
And that is how it should be, administrators say.

ON PROFILING

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 17, 2004 08:36 AM

Tom Ridge made a splash yesterday with news that al Qaeda is recruiting non-Arabs. He used the opportunity to deride racial and ethnic profiling as an effective counterterrorism tool. Here’s a piece I did today in response. The fact that al-Qaeda is using some non-Arab recruits does not render racial/ethnic/religion/nationality profiling moot. As long as [...]

HAIRBRAIDERS VS. BIG GOVERNMENT

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 7, 2004 12:00 PM

Here’s a great story of a small-business owner in Seattle fighting onerous regulations that restrict competition in the name of the “public interest.” From yesterday’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
A Senegal-born hair braider who learned that traditional trade from her grandmother is challenging Washington laws she says could drive her out of business, or out of the state.

P.C. VS. OLD GLORY

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 5, 2004 09:58 AM

Here’s a quick roundup of stories involving the American flag under attack this holiday weekend:
- A bemused Washington Post reporter attends an American flag-burning protest in Egypt: “The most curious thing about an American flag burning, for an American, is the embarrassingly warm welcome you get here.”
- Boston Red Sox player Keith Foulke was forced [...]

P.C. insanity and the Pentagon

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 24, 2004 11:57 AM

Oh, dear Lord. WBIR reports:
An East Tennessee man who runs an organization that works to memorialize American soldiers and police officers is now battling the U.S. Army.
Bob Parker runs a non-profit organization called “Fallen Friend.” Since 1996, Parker has sent special medallions to the survivors of soldiers and police officers killed in the line of [...]

As opposed to “assimilationist capitalism?

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 21, 2004 12:01 PM

In this otherwise unobjectionable Wall Street Journal op-ed by Alan Bromley, who recounts a typically dreadful experience at an Ivy League graduation last weekend, he complains:
The dean of the School of Education talked about our country’s isolation and “our need to learn more about” Islam and Muslims–not their need to learn about multicultural capitalism that [...]
