Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Was it a surprise to you that Egypt went Islamist? It wasn’t to me. Was it a surprise to you that Libya went Islamist? It wasn’t to me. Was it a surprise to you that Tunisia went Islamist? It wasn’t to me. Has it been a surprise to you over
Continue readingFor years, I’ve been trying to articulate the difference between good immigrants and bad immigrants, meaning those that benefit a country and those that I’d like to see kept out. This has become a particularly pointed concern for me in light of the PC attitude that encourages immigrants of all
Continue readingI noted when I was in London that the City was filled with obvious Muslims (by which I mean burqa-ed and hijab-ed women, and their male escorts). London, though, still felt like a modern western city. Not so other cities in Europe. Andrew McCarthy explains why, and warns us that

Continue readingBoth the SEALS and Charlie Sheen have been in the news lately, the SEALS for an extraordinarily well-planned, brave and effective operation, and Charlie Sheen because he’s a drugged-out piece of human detritus. Did you know, though, that the two — that is, the SEALS and Sheen — have something
Continue readingIn the preceding post, I gave you Geert Wilders’ entire speech about the threat Islam poses to the West. I now offer you living evidence of the threat he describes.
Continue readingEveryone should read this speech. Everyone. While the media swooned about Obama’s Cairo speech (in which he lauded veiling women and ignored thousands of years of Jewish ties to Israel), and Obama’s race speech (in which he insulted white people), and Obama’s recent immigration speech (in which he demonized people
Continue readingHere’s why I think the Obama-bots disposed of bin Laden’s body so quickly: because they were so paralyzed by multiculturalism, all they could think of was the Islamic imperative to bury the body within 24 hours. That’s it. I don’t think they thought beyond PC. Here’s the problem: My husband

Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.” — Deuteronomy, 24:16. One of the things that always struck me as bizarre about old-fashioned Christian antisemitism

Focusing on Eastern and Western Europe from the 12th century onwards, it’s a brisk walk through royal excesses. Having read about half the book now, I think that “bad seeds” is

The section on “Customs and Sections in Islam” makes for some interesting reading: Today, most Moslems can afford only one wife

According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, Israel’s unusually large and high-quality shale oil reserves may yield as much oil as all of Saudi Arabia’s proven oil reserves. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703806304576242420737584278.html These discoveries are in addition to of Israel’s recently diclosed gas
