WE AS A NATION CONTINUE TO DISAPPOINT MICHELLE OBAMA:

Back in 2010 at the New Criterion, the late Kenneth Minogue warned:

My concern with democracy is highly specific. It begins in observing the remarkable fact that, while democracy means a government accountable to the electorate, our rulers now make us accountable to them. Most Western governments hate me smoking, or eating the wrong kind of food, or hunting foxes, or drinking too much, and these are merely the surface disapprovals, the ones that provoke legislation or public campaigns. We also borrow too much money for our personal pleasures, and many of us are very bad parents. Ministers of state have been known to instruct us in elementary matters, such as the importance of reading stories to our children. Again, many of us have unsound views about people of other races, cultures, or religions, and the distribution of our friends does not always correspond, as governments think that it ought, to the cultural diversity of our society. We must face up to the grim fact that the rulers we elect are losing patience with us.

UPDATE: At the PJ Mothership, Matt Margolis writes: Michelle Obama Is an Insufferable Racist.

“It is exhausting and it’s so expensive and it takes up so much time. Braids are for y’all, so we can work harder and focus on the work,” she claimed.

Wait, WHAT? Braids are… for white people? So Black women style their hair specifically to please… whom, exactly? This makes zero sense, but okay, Michelle, whatever helps you sleep at night in your multimillion-dollar mansion.

But buckle up, because here comes the pièce de résistance:

“So… why do we need an act, a-, g-, an active law to tell white folks to get outta our hair? Don’t— Don’t tell me how to wear my hair. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t touch it. Just don’t.”

Perhaps this is the new libertarian side of Michelle Obama — Virginia Postrel was writing about oppressive state hair braiding laws back in the 1990s.

Oh, and speaking of being oppressed:
