Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Do you recall that, in France, Palestinians raided a grocery store and stripped the shelves of Israeli products, while store personnel and customers passively stood by and watched? Flush with their success in France, Palestinians, and their friends, are planning on “de-shelving” Israeli products here at home, and they’ve selected
Continue readingHere’s the article from an extremely Progressive San Francisco blog. Here’s my distillation: 1. Liberals truly care about freedom, because they protested their hearts out over the illegal U.S. war in Iraq. 2. For all that screaming against the evil U.S. government, American liberals really weren’t risking anything because, unlike
Continue readingAs you know, not only did Obama say he wouldn’t “meddle” in Iran, he said that Mousavi and Ahmadinejad are two peas in a pod, so who cares? James Taranto explains perfectly why Obama is dead wrong: [W]e think it is very telling that the very first point he made
Continue readingRonald Reagan, speaking to Evangelicals about the Soviet Union, in 1983: Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness — pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach
Continue readingIn one paragraph, Richard Baehr says so much: Voters can be fooled, but they can tell the difference between a friend and a bully. Obama made the decision to bully Israel over settlements, and make it the focus of his Middle East strategy. The events in Iran over the weekend
Continue readingI commented on and graded Obama’s much heralded speech to the Muslim world, so I think it only fair to grade Bibi’s speech, which is directed to much the same audience (plus the western world, too). As I did with Obama’s speech, I’m making me comments in real time, without
Continue readingSometimes, you have to be poised on the edge of the volcano to realize the threat you face. Until you get there, you might just think you’re climbing a beautiful mountainside. Bruce Bawer, a gay man living in Europe, reached the edge of the volcano and wrote While Europe Slept:
Continue readingI’m too ill-informed to opine intelligently on what’s going on in Iran right now. I know the election was not a free election, because the Mad Mullah’s hand-selected four candidates. I know Obama was either naive or evil to suggest otherwise. I know that the outcome was almost certainly a
Continue readingBritain, which has shown a certain lack of spine when it comes to the Islamists on its shores, nevertheless stood up to Al Qaeda representative Abu Qatata. Britain, however, is no longer a sovereign nation. It handed over its sovereignty to the EU, which gets the final say in matters.
Continue readingThis is supposed to be a “news” story about the Obama family trip to Paris. It strikes me as coming much closer to a bad bodice ripper, with scary Messianic overtones: People gawked and cameras clicked as the Obamas cut a wide figure through the French capital even while confined
Continue readingI’ve always loved that quintessential little kid excuse: “But, Mommy, he hit me back first….” Even kids understand, although they don’t always appreciate, the notion of a preemptive strike. Lately, there’s more and more talk about Israel engaging in a preemptive strike against Iran (cheered by friends, feared by foes).
Continue readingReader David Foster brought to my attention an article in the World Tribune which says Obama is refusing to give Israel helicopters that it requested: The Obama administration has blocked Israel’s request for advanced U.S.-origin attack helicopters. Government sources said the administration has held up Israel’s request for the AH-64D
Continue readingClearly, predator nations smell blood in the water — and that blood is Obama’s manifest inability to cope with predator nations. At least, that’s how I read this, from BNO News at 9:30 ish p.m. PST: N. Korea says it is no longer bound to the armistice which ended the
Continue readingI few hours ago, I read the Twitters on “peculiar earthquakes” in the Korean Peninsula. Now I know why they were peculiar: the North Koreans are testing nukes. Oh, joy. I hope the White House’s “grave[] concern” translates into intelligent action.
Continue readingThe French Foreign Ministry has taken umbrage at the notion that Israel claims sole proprietorship over its capital city, Jerusalem. Never mind that those who wish to share Jerusalem with the Israelis (a) deny that Israel even exists and (b) would like to see all of Israel’s Jewish citizens dead.
