Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Israel has, for years, had missiles rain down upon her, and suicide bombers work from within. Since her inception, every Arab nation has called for her destruction and the death of her citizens. In the last year, her Arab neighbors have given her the gift of more than 2,000 missiles

The news took many Jews
Continue readingI learned through PowerLine that Ehud Olmert, in an interview with the London Times, has compellingly taken on the disproportionate force argument, as well as the impossible to prove claim that Israel has somehow managed, in Lebanon, to kill only civilians, without taking out any of the Hezbollah fighters hiding
Continue readingIran may be positioning itself as the epicenter of the Muslim world, as the place where elite Muslims meet to greet and die, but those who leave don’t always want to go back. In Denmark, five of them, after starving themselves almost to death to make the point, are now
Continue readingYou may recall that the Palestinians who kidnapped Cpl. Gilad Shalit wanted to use him for a prisoner exchange — one of yours, for all of ours. Apparently, though, the Palestinians didn’t really mean all of theirs. There were at least six they didn’t want back: Security sources in the
Continue readingPhibian has a fact-filled post about the resurgence of an old problem, about its ability to spread uncontrollably, and about the reason this problem, long dormant, is back. His post is good, so I don’t want to give anything away here. I just think you should go read it yourself.
Continue readingMy blog suddenly boasts a new look. I had nothing to do with it — WordPress spontaneously made these changes. I’m a little unsure how much I like the new look (the color is a bit more electric on my screen), but I do like it that you can see

Americans, especially certain Democratic Congressmen, are conveniently forgetting that, before Hezbollah focused its energies on arming itself against Israel, and before Al Qaeda upstaged it on 9/11, Hezbollah was the terrorist organization responsible for killing the greatest
Continue readingI’m reading two really wonderful books right now, each of which has gotten me thinking about my own history. My starting point for this post is David Horowitz’s Radical Son, about his journey from Red diaper baby to outspoken conservative. He describes a childhood completely defined by party doctrine, intrigue

Continue readingI missed the Loma Prieta quake because I was on vacation. Throughout my life, I’ve been around for many smaller quakes, but I’ve managed not to notice any of them. The most recent one I missed noticing was a small one, an hour ago, centered about twenty miles north of
Continue readingHere are just a few videos that the Israeli military has released showing Hezbollah terrorists firing missiles at Israel. In each case, the videos show that Hezbollah was using civilian buildings as launching pads. It’s entirely possible that when Israel took out these military targets, civilians unlucky enough to have
Continue readingThe Hydra of mythology was a fearsome multi-headed monster. One of its great strengths was the fact that, if you severed one of its heads, another head (or maybe more than one) would grow in its place. Nevertheless, the Hydra could be defeated. Here’s one version of how Hercules defeated
