Wow! Someone was eavesdropping on my conversations with liberals.
Apparently there’s a template out there. I am not alone: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGwtG8nVpUU[/youtube] Hat tip: NewsReal Blog

Continue readingAll our weapons — free speech, reason, forbearance — are for dealing with people who are sort of like us. The existential crisis comes when we find ourselves dealing with people who are in no way like us. Do we oppose them by being even more like ourself than before
Continue readingClifford May wrote a very interesting article pointing out that modern liberalism means giving a complete pass to utterly offensive behavior — provided that the behavior is practiced by non-Western people: What do you think about the niqab — sometimes also called a burqa — the veil that leaves only
Continue readingThe Imam to whom I refer is the one who, when he had a group of Massachusetts public school children before him, riffed creatively (or so it seemed) about the high status women have in Islam. It turns out that he wasn’t lying. Women are entirely honored in Islam. It’s
Continue readingI admit it — I didn’t read the whole thing, because the obscene relativism permeating Nicholas Kristof’s first couple of paragraphs so disgusted me, my brain shut down. Anyway, because of fair use concerns, I don’t want to quote more than the first two paragraphs, which more than adequately make
Continue readingYou’ve all heard by now about the group of Massachusetts school children taken to a mosque where they were taught utterly fallacious history about Islam and America, and then led in prayer: A mosque spokesperson is seen teaching the children that in Mohammed’s 7th century Arabia women were allowed to
Continue readingOn my personal Facebook account, I linked to a report about the cartoonist who suggested “Everyone Draw Mohammed” day. It turns out that this little moment of satire occasioned death threats so serious that she has now been forced into a life of hiding: An American cartoonist whose satirical work
Continue readingThe MSM is bewildered. How is it that nine years after 9/11, people are more hostile to Muslims than they were the day of 9/11, when 20 Muslims murdered thousands of Americans, and sought to decapitate the American government? This article from the San Francisco Chronicle nicely presents the liberal
Continue readingClifford May beautifully explains the fact that Jihadis, who use violence, and Islamists, who use more subtle means, are both threats to the West — and he manages to mention, too, why reform isn’t happening: Terrorism is not the core of the problem. It is merely the weapon of choice
Continue readingMy post caption is mangled version of an English expression popular in the years leading up to and during WWI: “The Hun is either at your throat or at your feet.” It was a reference to the fact that Germany was a deeply hierarchical, undemocratic nation, with only the haziest
Continue readingBecause it’s a holiday and I have a drop-dead deadline tomorrow, blogging will have to wait. Meanwhile, I’d very, very, very much like to hear what you guys have to say about this article at the HuffPo. The gist of it is that Sharia is nothing more than Jesus’s Sermon
Continue readingAbercrombie & Fitch is all about “the look.” I mean, the whole point of the store is to get people, especially young people, to cough up money for “the look.” To this end, the ads are soft porn, all aimed at showing the ultimate sexy cool. Have I mentioned that
Continue readingEdith Piaf sang often about Paris. I don’t think she envisioned this.
Continue readingAs y’all know, I think Obama is a man who does not believe in any God (except maybe himself), but who has frequently expressed a feeling of affinity with the Muslim world. An increasing number of Americans, however, do believe that Obama is a Muslim. Many reasons are given for
Continue readingOne of the blessings of the Constitution over the years is the way in which people have been able to practice their religion freely, even while living within the Constitution’s parameters. Nothing in the Constitution runs afoul of Judeo-Christian faiths, Hinduism, Shinto-ism, and other religions that don’t involve animal or
