Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
What do you get when you put a deep and wide fund of knowledge, a logical mind, and a profound intellect into the service of a single article? You get Richard Baehr’s article at The American Thinker entitled “The War in American against Israel (part one).” Unsurprisingly, Mr. Baehr does
Continue readingThis blog spends a lot of time hunting down and attacking the anti-Semitism that comes from the Left. It’s worth remembering, though, that anti-Semitism also has a long and honored history on the Right. Lately, Patrick Buchanan is the poster boy for this kind of ugly thinking. He exposed himself
Continue readingWhen you’re dealing with people in an alternate universe, they’ll often try to convince you that the evidence of your own eyes is wrong and that black is actually white or vice versa. This is happening on the far Left side of the blogosphere where the new meme, apparently, is
Continue readingJohn Edwards is clearly attempting to attract the European vote. It was Europeans after all, who opined in large numbers that Israel is the most dangerous nation in the world. In a clear effort to attract Europeans to the polls in 2008, Peter Bart’s column reports on this gem: “Perhaps
Continue readingWhen I was first in France, in 1982, Israel had just invaded Southern Lebanon. Already then, Parisian citizens made their views on the subject known, since grafitti on every surface flowered with vile, anti-Semitic threats and descriptions. Surprisingly, I didn’t see that type of grafitti this time around, perhaps because
Continue readingA couple of posts down, you’ll see where I wrote about how pleasant Germany is, and how it stands as a reminder, not of Germany’s evil, but of mankind’s inherent ability to be evil.
Continue readingI’ve been following with a certain detached interest the Holocaust (or, rather, anti-Holocaust) convention that Ahmadinejad has convened in Iran. Certainly, I recognize the virulent anti-Semitism that drives it. Along with other people who are well-informed humanists, I view with repugnance the fact that Reuters, casually disregarding David Duke’s white
Continue readingI don’t think Charles Johnson, at LGF, is Jewish, but that fact doesn’t prevent him from being Israel’s staunch supporter. I think he is, not so much because he’s in love with Israel (and no one asks him to be), but because he recognizes that (a) Israel is the only
Continue readingClear an hour on your timetable. Then, watch Glenn Beck’s Exposed : The Extremist Agenda, about the footage CNN, MSNBC and the Times/Discovery Channel aren’t showing you. The Nuremburg rallies look like high school talent shows compared to these things: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PWIK8YTZS8] Hat tip: Little Green Footballs del.icio.us | digg it
Continue readingAt the Augean Stables, Richard Landes has posted a brilliant essay about the role the fake Mohammad Al-Durah video played as a catalyst for unleashing the worst modern anti-Semitism around the world, and about the fact that both the video’s creation and its effect are microcosms of the poisonous alchemy
Continue readingAs you may recall, I did a post on the way Sacha Cohen (as Borat), rather than exposing truly dangerous anti-Semitism, may be showing anti-Semites a way to get their feelings out into the open without fear of criticism or analysis. Aside from agreeing with my post, many of my
Continue readingDo you remember that, when Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ was about to be released, liberals attacked it preemptively on the grounds that it would stir up anti-Semitic passions amongst its primitive viewers? Of course, nothing of the sort happened. Movie goers did not see the movie as
Continue readingOne of the reasons I left private school for public school is that, as the kids got older, they had more and more after school activities. This prevented me from putting them in an after school care program and, instead, saw me driving all of the place to drop one
Continue readingIf you’re Jewish, you need to read this Ed Lasky article. It has fact after fact describing increased Democratic hostility to Jews and Israel. What’s striking is that the hostility to Israel isn’t simply phrased in neutral terms of “it’s not good for America to support Israel,” something with which
Continue readingI have just witnessed a single change in local voter demographics. My mother, who has always voted Democratic, says that she does not intend to vote for the Democrats any more. She is “disgusted” with them, since they seem ineffectual and have absolutely no plan about any of the woes
