Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You know me — I can resist news stories that simply deserve to be paired. This pairing requires no comment from me. You’ll draw your own conclusions. First, this little story about military sensitivity: The Army is considering whether to rescind an invitation to evangelist Franklin Graham to appear at
Continue readingThe New York Times reports that, according to a Senate report, some American ex-prisoners who converted to Islam are heading to (or have already arrived in Yemen) to be part of terrorist forces against the U.S.: Some American former convicts who converted to Islam in prison have moved to Yemen
Continue readingI got a letter from a good friend who not only linked me to this worth-reading Uncle Jimbo post, but who also added “Has anyone noticed that all of the airplane incidents since 9/11 have been perpetrated by muslims?” Since I live with a liberal, and I know the score,
Continue readingBy now, you’ve all heard that Janet Napolitano, the head of Obama’s Department of Homeland Security, is going around saying that the system worked perfectly when a guy on the US no-fly list, who had been turned in by his own father, boarded a plane and detonated a bomb, only
Continue readingFor my birthday, my husband gave me an Amazon Kindle. It’s a sensible gift for me, since I read voraciously and often find myself waiting around in various places because of carpools. Since the Kindle fits in my purse, I always have something to read. The only problem with the
Continue readingYesterday I linked to a post at Pierre LeGrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar about another possible terrorist dry run. Melissa Clouthier now has more. I’ll blog later, but have to work.
Continue readingPierre LeGrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar has a disturbing post. In it, he reprints part of a message from someone who claims to have been on a recent flight that was disrupted by a large group of obviously Muslim men aggressively flouting airplane safety rules. As you may recall, in the
Continue readingI’ve been saying for some years that the biggest mistake the Islamists made was impatience. Demographically, between their fecundity and the sterility of Western culture, Muslims were headed towards societal tipping points all over Europe within a couple of decades. Had they set tight, they could have completed what they
Continue readingIn a field rich with excellent conservative writers, I always think Mark Steyn is the best. The joyful days, though, are the days when he outdoes even himself. In this week’s column about the fluffy multiculturalism that reared its head both before and after Hasan’s deadly terrorist attack at Fort
Continue readingI don’t think the media has ever before been so blatant in its desire to divorce an evil act from its ideological origins, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen that game played out. More than two years ago, a short lived comedy show on Fox used the occasion
Continue readingAn eyewitness heard those words — Allahu Akbar — come out of the killer’s mouth. Private Joe Foster, though, is still ready to do his job, as he did at the time of the shooting, and that despite a bullet strike on his femur.

Continue readingMy liberal friend is a headline reader. That’s why we had a ridiculous conversation in which he wondered about the Fort Hood shooter’s motives. To the reader who scans, headlines that say “motives a mystery” trump even those articles that add, under the headline, little facts such as Muslim death
Continue readingInsane people reflect the obsessions of their times. In the old days, insane people heard messages from the Devil. In the post-nuclear age, they were in contact with Martians. And nowadays, if their Muslim, Islam gives the impetus to their urges. Indeed, Islam is an all-purpose blank check for bad
Continue readingIt’s very simple, according to some British Muslims. You can be a soldier in your nation’s military as long as your military isn’t fighting against Muslims. However, if your military is fighting against Muslims, your military has become the enemy, and you should use your resources and abilities to kill
Continue readingI just heard about the Fort Hood shooting, and have nothing of my own to say. The New Editor, however, is watching closely and updating constantly. Ed Driscoll also has running updates, as does Hot Air. What I learned from a military friend is that, even though it’s a military
