Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I wish I’d said it this well: It’s really quite amazing. In Pakistan, Egypt, and the Palestinian territories, Christians are being harassed, brutalized, and even murdered, often with state support, or at least state indulgence. And let’s not even talk about the warm reception Jews receive in much of the

Continue readingIdentity politics worked very well for the Democrats for a long time, provided that they played the various little groups off against “white men.” Barring some in-fighting in academia amongst various “victim” subgroups — a spectacle that Christina Hoff Sommers described to hilarious effect in Who Stole Feminism?: How Women
Continue readingThe Sun, a Canadian newspaper, took a few minutes to travel to a Muslim online dating site (SingleMuslims.com), and noticed something a bit perplexing about the site. I have to agree: this just doesn’t make sense. Nevertheless, as the Romans so wittily said, de gustibus non est disputandum.

Continue readingObama is so bad, the Clinton era starts to look good. And Obama’s crude use of his children is so bad (dragged out when they’re presence is useful, off-limits when it’s not), that one really has to appreciate how zealously and effectively Bill and Hillary shielded Chelsea from the public.
Continue readingIn America, there was for some time a nature versus nurture debate regarding homosexuality. I think the current view is that sexuality runs along a spectrum, with some people fixed firmly at one end or the other, and others, in the middle, who may be affected by the culture around

Continue readingMy brain is slowly warming up here so I’m not yet capable of original content. Instead, let me offer other people’s wonderful stuff. To get this set started, you have to begin by reading a speech that the Ayatollah Khomeini made in 1942, in which he stated explicitly that Islam
Continue readingEric Allen Bell, a former Daily Kos contributor and an independent filmmaker for Left-leaning outlets, had an epiphany recently: Islam is not a nice religion. Indeed, it’s a very un-nice religion, one that sees the embodiment of human perfection in a child-raping, misogynistic, antisemitic crime lord. When he tried to
