Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Are you tired of America bashing? If you are, refresh yourself by reading Edward Bernard Glick’s article explaining why you probably shouldn’t take it all that seriously: When European intellectuals and their U.S. counterparts proclaim that the peoples of the world hate the U.S., they have it backwards. Americans are
Continue readingLong after I thought the Walt/Mearsheimer anti-Semitic smear had been laid to rest, our good friends at the government-supported (that means taxpayer-supported) National Public Radio have given it a new, national forum. Has else to explain the endless interview Steve Inskeep gave Walt and Mearsheimer on today’s Morning Edition. I
Continue readingIf you’ve ever wondered what the reductio ad absurdum of socialism is, I think North Korea must be the answer. Certainly the many pictures that Russia’s top web designer took during a recent trip there make it seem like the closest thing the real world has to Orwell’s imagined 1984.
Continue readingI didn’t blog about the Mexican elections, preferring to wait and see what happened. I’m happy that I didn’t get my knickers in a twist, and I’m pleased that the Mexican voters, having looked into socialism’s abyss, opted for the Conservative candidate: Mexico’s conservative presidential candidate Felipe Calderon declared victory
Continue readingHow did England so rapidly plummet from the world’s top dog to a nation that has no pride, no sense of its own history (except to be abjectly embarrassed by that history), and no sense of self-preservation. The latter appears in matters large, as in its inability to confront its
Continue readingDon’t you hate people who say “I told you so”? I do, unless I’m the one saying it. This time, I’m saying it regarding the Israeli troops massed on the Gaza border. But let me back up a bit…. Last night, Mr. Bookworm, who reads only the NY Times, asked
Continue readingIsrael has never negotiated for hostages. Israeli operatives have always known that, if they fall into Arab hands, they're on their own. But apparently the atrocities visited on Thomas Tucker and Kristian Menchaca decided the Israelis that this type of stuff is not going to happen on their watch. How
Continue readingThe Arab countries forcibly evicted their Jewish populations, so as to seize their property and purify their countries from the "stain" of Judiasm. Israel is also asking one of its Arab citizens to leave, but for a very different reason: In a few weeks Ismail Khaldi, a 35-year old Bedouin
Continue readingFor those on the Left atwitter about the fact that George Bush doesn't feel obligated to extend to Islamofascist terrorists (a) any rights under our Constitution; (b) any rights according to our own military men/women under a court martial; or (c) even the full panoply of rights accorded signatories to
Continue readingApparently one of the best weapons Khomeni had in the Iran-Iraq war that raged during the 1980s was children. He organized units of children that were nothing more than religiously inspired cannon fodder: After Iraq invaded in September, 1980, it had quickly become clear that Iran’s forces were no match
Continue readingWell, it's official and it's dreadful: The bodies of two U.S. soldiers reported captured last week have been recovered, and an Iraqi defense ministry official said Tuesday the men were "killed in a barbaric way." The U.S. military said the remains were believed to be those of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca,
Continue readingIt seems as if, just about every week, one of the MSM outlets has a story about an Israeli attack on the Palestinians. You know, the stories where you hear that this bomb builder, or that Hamas leader, was killed while driving in his car. Or perhaps you'll hear that
Continue readingYou probably won't see something like this emerging from the Palestinians anytime soon: Alzheimer's disease is degenerative and leads to a collapse of brain functions. A new Israeli computer program attempts to slow down deterioration in patients' brains. The computerized system, which was developed by students from the engineering faculty
Continue readingIf you have any interest in Iran's descent into madness regarding Israel, you must read the Captain's comments on the latest piece of genocidal thinking to emerge from this country. After detailing the loony thinking that characterizes the Mullahs, the Captain has this to say: All of this is window
Continue readingI'm disgusted with the coverage of Al-Zarqawi's death, which focuses obsessively on how meaningless it is and how it will do little if nothing to make a difference in the President's war for oil. Oh, by the way, try telling that to the wildly celebrating Iraqis. The worst I heard
