..........yes, this is from a very left wingnut, National Review............

but, it seems pretty much the case in point. Nobody loves standards like me. I am totally convinced that successful people/organizations all have the issue of obvious standards in their repertoire. For just a moment, forget who wrote this piece, and forget where it came from:

National Review's Byron York muses about Republican double standards:

Perhaps I'm focusing on an irrelevant issue, but the presence, or non-presence, of Johnston on the stage tonight strikes me as important. It's one thing for delegates to be understanding and compassionate about the fix these two teenagers have gotten themselves into. It's another to actually celebrate it. And, given what we've learned in the last few days, if Johnston is up on stage with his girlfriend and the Palin family, and Republicans are wildly cheering, it will certainly look like they are celebrating this situation. I don't usually engage in these scenarios, but I'll do it here. If the Obamas had a 17 year-old daughter who was unmarried and pregnant by a tough-talking black kid, my guess is if that they all appeared onstage at a Democratic convention and the delegates were cheering wildly, a number of conservatives might be discussing the issue of dysfunctional black families.

I think he may have a point.
