Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In my post about Helen Thomas, I focused on her incredible stupidity in saying that Jews are the interlopers and “Palestinians” the indigenous people. In fact, the opposite is true. Jews have lived in Israel non-stop since about 1800 B.C. The “Palestinians” — a name I put in scare quotes
Continue readingI am not a person given to vulgarity. I swear under two circumstances: when something genuinely and completely frightens me or when . . . well, there is no other circumstance. Frankly, I consider myself smart enough, and my vocabulary rich enough, to eschew swear words entirely. I have better

Continue readingBarry Rubin takes on the world’s warped perceptions of Israel and of the Islamic killers — and rips those perceptions to shreds by looking through the eyes of the jihadists themselves. The same post reveals the startling inhumanity that is radical Islam. It says much about the navel gazers on
Continue readingThe following, from 2006, is a perfect video. First, it shows what a horrible person Helen Thomas has always been. Second, it highlights the Bush White House attitudes towards Israel as well as the late, great Tony Snow’s intelligence, wit and charm. That’s as good a contrast as you can
Continue readingBefore hearing this on the radio today, I honestly think the last time I heard it was around 1972. It sure snapped me back on a quick journey through the decades: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2skBGdyoMkk[/youtube]
Continue readingCharles Johnson is masterful when it comes to exposing media fraud, whether it was Rathergate in 2004, or Reutersgate in 2006 (when Reuters messed with photos of the Israeli/Hezbollah War). Proving that he wasn’t just lucky back then, but in fact has a genuine knack, Charles has done it again,
Continue readingI attended a very large pro-Israel rally at the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles today. Numerus blocks were closed off. First thing, whatever the media reports, there were more people there than they claim. To my untrained eye, there appeared to be many thousands. The crowd was tightly packed for blocks. There
Continue readingI spoke with a fellow parishioner today about our children. This well-meaning, socially aware good fellow (an attorney) was extolling how well his son was progressing in his Ivy League undergraduate education. And, I asked, what was he studying? Environmental sciences. Ah, I said…that’s an interesting and certainly timely field
Continue readingThis past weekend’s sunny Saturday morning was a quintessential suburban spring day. I gathered with hundreds of other families at a local high school for our children’s swim meet. We traveled there in our comfortable cars, air conditioners blowing, driving over clean safe streets. We all met up at the
Continue readingAs many of you discovered yesterday, my server was down for some time. I thought I’d lapse into a deep funk, but I was actually somewhat grateful. The news about the economy and Israel was so deeply depressing, I needed a break from thinking about it. To be honest with

Continue readingNo surprise here — winners were heavily focused on the flotilla. The winners are superb (and so are the ones that didn’t win): Council Winners First place with 3 votes! – Mere Rhetoric – Israel Publishes Gaza Travel Guidebook For Pro-Hamas Freedom Flotilla Second place with 2 1/3 votes –
Continue readingHelen Thomas is a staggeringly ugly woman — not outside, where it’s obvious, but inside, something that explodes outward in a cloud of venomous verbal pus every time she opens her mouth: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQcQdWBqt14[/youtube] By the way, Helen, the Palestinians are the occupiers. Jews have been in the land, without cessation,
Continue readingI meant to blog, really I did. But the day didn’t go quite as planned. I worked out, which was great. Then I had a bowl of ice cream, which was great. Then I sat next to the dog for a minute, which was great. And then I fell asleep
