Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Everyone is commenting on the travesty that sees countries such as the Sudan and Iran on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. It makes perfect sense to me. If the commission had been named “Commission for the Protection of Women,” or “Commission for the Liberation of Women,” things
Continue readingI’m not quite sure how to describe this one without giving away the whole weird little joke. Suffice to say that it’s quick and amusing. As for this one, you’ll be interested to know that Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians (“RCO”) believes women should be advised that, generally speaking, abortions

I don’t know the essay’s true provenance, but the sentiments expressed are interesting, especially if it did indeed originate in EuropeL ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in

Woman walks away both eating and having

Our own government has admitted that he “was part of a covert, C.I.A.-led team collecting intelligence and conducting surveillance on militant groups deep
Continue readingI’m so upset about what happened at the UN today, I can’t speak (or write). Hot Air explains what happened: after casting a veto against the Security Council’s vote on Israeli settlements, the U.S.’s Ambassador, Susan Rice, launched into a vitriolic attack that would have come easily from the lips
Continue readingIf you want a good lesson in the depth, breadth and virulence of Muslim antisemitism, Andrew Bostom provides it. Then think long and hard about the fact that the current administration is siding with these Muslims at the United Nations. I’m still struggling to come to terms with the appalling
Continue readingI was remarkably silent on Egypt. The situation was too fluid for me to grab a hold of. I knew only that Obama’s policy would follow whoever seemed likely to win, since he will always hew to the strong man. Now that it’s over, I was thinking of writing about
Continue readingLet’s think about Israel from the Israeli viewpoint for a minute, shall we? It is, by any standards, an extremely small country. Within its own borders, it is a sophisticated Western-style nation that leads the world in scientific innovation. Its political system is a parliamentary style democratic republic. Although its
Continue readingPakistan? No. Britain! If the British government, under PM Cameron is serious about cutting down the multiculturalism monster, this is a good place to start. Old multi-culti pieties prevented British institutions from daring to criticize the Muslims amongst them. A serious commitment to Western values would mean cracking down on

CIA Director Panetta just admitted that he gets his information on Egyptian events from the media, rather than from his own agency. National Intelligence Director Jim Clapper, meanwhile, pontificates about how
Continue readingWill Democrats once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Here’s a very encouraging report about the latest NATO (mostly American forces) offensive in Helmand province, one of the last redoubts of the Taliban. I don’t know how much play this will get in the Mass Media, as they
Continue readingThe Archbishopric of Canterbury used to be a pretty important job. The guy who held that position, going back to the earliest Middle Ages, was the premier leader of the English church, whether that church gave allegiance to Rome or the British Monarch. The current Archbishop, Rowan Williams is, as
