Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When parents think about what a school should do for their children, they think in terms of the three “Rs,” plus a lovely layering of science, history, and other subjects that maketh a full (and employable) man. The politically correct Nanny State, however, cares little for education and a great
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 now received five emails bringing to my attention a post at Hillbuzz, a blog that (as best as I can tell) is written by two gay Hillary supporters. (And thanks to all of you who did bring it to my attention.) What makes the post at Hillbuzz so unusual
Continue readingAmerican Thinker is a site I check regularly, at least twice a day. It’s not just that the editors are kind enough to publish my work occasionally. It’s because the articles that appear there routinely range from really good to out-of-the-park stupendous. Today, there are two that fall in the
Continue readingI remain absolutely convinced that Obama, the boy genius of the left, is a product of affirmative action who is hiding his academic record because it is dismal. If it weren’t dismal, he’d be showing it off. Frankly, though, after thirty years of affirmative action, we expected nothing more from
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 readingDo I think all American Muslims are terrorists? No. Do I think the American military should bar Muslims? No. Do I think the American military should stop actively recruiting them and providing them with radical Imams? Oh, yes (emphasis mine). The Fort Hood terrorist is being portrayed as an “anomaly,”
Continue readingHorrible story of what happens when political correctness and fear of a violent minority group culminate in a school that saw the administration look the other way for fear of offending those violent minority sensibilities. This, by the way, is how that paralyzing political correctness, a sensiblity that saps courage
Continue readingWe’re getting near the tail-end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that requires dawn to dusk fasting. Now, I’m a gal who enjoys noshing during the day, so I’m not thrilled about abstaining from food and drink for 10 hours. I’d be especially unhappy if it was a hot day,
Continue readingThere’s a row in England over the fact that a kids’ cartoon magazine, published by the Who Cares? Trust, which receives a great deal of public funding, shows a boy wearing a large cross being an Islamophobe, while a hijab clad girl is an articulate, brave defender of human rights.
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I directed your attention to the incredibly disturbing footage of Pakistani village authorities brutally whipping a teenage girl before a throng of men, because she violated Sharia norms by being seen in public with her father in law. The footage is disturbing on many levels, not
Continue readingA young British woman, raised in the North of England, escaped her abusive Muslim father and converted to Christianity, a fact that saw her father lead an axe wielding mob clamoring for her death. She wrote a book about her experience. When the Times interviewer asked why she didn’t seek
Continue readingI had a lovely time last night at a reception on the Bonhomme Richard, and plan on writing about it later today. However, other work calls, so I thought I’d fill this space with recommendations for interesting stuff you may want to read. In no particular order: William Katz, a
Continue readingFirst, thanks to all of you who have posted such interesting, informative and intelligent comments the past two weeks. You always make my time here enjoyable and educational. Still, I’m glad Bookworm is back and ready to bring you her wide diversity of posts, and her thoughtfullness and intelligence that
Continue readingIn the world of presidential elections, we’re watching the fascinating spectacle of clashing identity politics. Neither Hillary nor Obama has a strong resume (or even a medium resume). Each is distinguished from the other, and from others in the field (remember Silky Pony?) solely because of gender or race. He’s
