Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
YouTube decided to shut down the Palestinian Media Watch (“PMW”) account, because it shows heinous and disgusting videos. The problem with YouTube’s decision is that PMW doesn’t create these heinous and disgusting videos. Instead, they are products of the Palestinian media, and PMW makes them available so that Americans can
Continue readingI have long been under the impression, thanks to Fjordman, that Muslim men see Swedish women as rape-worthy (see this or this, for example). I wonder if that fact doesn’t explain some of the high rape numbers in Sweden, while Sweden’s political correctness and fear of offending Muslims could account,
Continue readingAn Austrian MP has finally had enough of the way the Turkish government complains about the treatment Turks receive in Austria. I have no idea what kind of treatment Turks receive in Austria, although if it’s like the rest of Europe, they get welfare, and they do not integrate, both
Continue readingAce asks a question that needs to be asked, which is whether conservatives are overreacting to the TSA’s new search techniques (naked scans and intimate searches): This has been bothering me. On one hand I’m inclined to just not like invasive pat-downs and naked body scans. On the other hand,
Continue readingSometimes, a reader leaves a comment that is too good not to elevate to post status. This time, it was Spartacus, writing in response to my question about real ways (not stupid, embarrassing, intrusive ways) to improve airport security: *** A childhood friend of mine got married in the Tel
Continue readingOver at RedState, there is a post that succinctly sums up the three choices currently facing people who plan to travel to a faraway destination: Door #1: Have nude pictures of yourself beamed to some video monitor to be viewed by a total stranger where it may or may not
Continue readingYes, you read that post caption correctly. British Liberal Democrat Jenny Tonge, in a speech in the House of Lords, claims that terrorism around the world is Israel’s fault, because Israel treats the Palestinian’s badly: On the issue of world conflict prevention, Tonge then said: “It is a disgrace to
Continue readingThere is a new website out there called Pictures of Muslims Wearing Things. It shows pictures of Muslims in clothes other than those associated with Sharia law. The person who started the website did so for a very specific reason: Former NPR analyst Juan Williams, among other ignorant people, has
Continue readingThe word “assassin” comes from the name “Hassan.” Per the writings of Marco Polo, in the 11th century, al-Hassan ibn-al-Sabbah gathered around him a private army. One story was that he fed his followers hashish to bring them in line, but others dispute that claim. What is known, though, is
Continue readingI was very surprised to see an AP wire story reporting that Islamic militants (as opposed to mere “militants” or “insurgents”) were holding “Christians” (as opposed to mere “people”) hostage. Even more surprising, the AP reported that the Islamic militants were probably affiliated with Al Qaeda in Iraq, an entity
Continue readingI’m beginning to get a good sense of the requirements for a writing gig at the New York Times. Their editorial and employment departments carefully cull all comers for two main traits: an IQ that doesn’t exceed the double digits, and a complete lack of common sense and logic. Walk
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 readingWorking on deadline, so I can’t blog right now. (Anyway, I couldn’t say anything better than Danny did, in the post immediately preceding this one.) I did, however, want to bring two posts to your attention, ’cause I think you’ll find them interesting. The first is the Rosh Hashanah sermon
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 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
