Check out this Great Article about social justice from two prominent conservatives. That’s right, conservatives. Liberals don’t hold exclusive rights to social justice. In fact, I would argue that the left’s approach to social justice has been tried and proven to be a failure.

Here’s a good book to get for your local school library — it might help balance some of the other stuff your kids might find there. The book is titled “Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed.”

It is the story of two boys who open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swingset. But they are disillusioned when they are forced to pay half their money in taxes, and serve broccoli with their lemonade.

It’s interesting to hear some in the mainstream media rail against this book but have nothing bad to say about such works as “Heather Has Two Mommies”; “It’s Just A Plant”; or “King and King.”

This is part of a comment I left on James Wiser’s blog.

I don’t know if ANYONE is really to blame for all that’s happened in New Orleans. I think it caught everyone off guard. At first, it seemed like N.O. had dodged a bullet. Then the levy broke on Tuesday, and we quickly realized how bad it really was. I think FEMA could have hit the ground running sooner, and the President could have arrived on the scene sooner — so they certainly don’t get a free pass. And neither do the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Lousiana. There’s a report today from the Red Cross saying that there WAS food and water available, but either the mayor or the governor didn’t want it sent to the Superdome for fear of a riot.

Mistakes were made and we should learn from them. But what we don’t need is another stupid investigation that will only lead to a bigger bureaucracy which will make it even more difficult to deal with the next crisis that comes along.

I just think there needs to be a bit of balance in all this. If you only listened to the New York Times, CNN, the mainstream media and the democrats in congress, you would come to the following conclusion:

President Bush used his hurricane machine to send Katrina to Louisiana. He then intentionally breached the levy because everyone knows he doesn’t care about black people. The aid was delayed because the administration is racist.

I’m glad we’ve got Fox News to provide a little bit of balance to all that.
