Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ann Coulter nails everything that’s wrong with Obama’s delusional idea of talking Ahmadinejad down from the nuclear ledge: There are reasons to meet with a tyrant, but none apply to Ahmadinejad. We’re not looking for an imperfect ally against some other dictatorship, as Nixon was with China. And we aren’t
Continue readingIt’s been a long time since I’ve read anything this sad. It comes from the Church of England’s own newspaper: If recent reports of trends in religious observance prove to be correct, then in some 30 years the mosque will be able to claim that, religiously speaking, the UK is
Continue readingThe other day I did a lengthy post explaining (to my own satisfaction) why there is nothing “McCarthyite” about the fact that American Jews assume that those who support Palestinians are not just supporting peace, but are in fact hostile to Israel or anti-Semitic — or both. This is because,
Continue readingObama adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski has accused American Jews of McCarthyism for being critical of Israel’s critics. He’s not the first and he won’t be the last. The pattern, repeated over and over as we learn more about Obama’s advisers, is that one of them speaks fondly of the Palestinians or
Continue readingThe title of my post was a fatuous, smarmy expression during its heyday in the 1960s. With the UN “peacekeepers,” though, it’s taken on a whole, horrible new meaning: Sexual abuse of children as young as six by aid workers and United Nations peacekeepers has continued unchecked despite repeated promises
Continue readingThere was a round-up of illegal aliens in Marin County. The story included the obligatory reference to the children who had to watch their parents being arrested for illegal activity: Wilson said children watched while their parents and other adults were taken away by authorities. Some were removed while accompanying
Continue readingAlan J. Lerner said it best: “Words, words, words! I’m so sick of words. I get words all day through, first from him now from you. Is that all you blighters can do?” When it comes to Jews, Ed Lasky shows just how hollow Obama’s words of love are: Barack
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I tackled Obama’s incredible naiveté (or stupidity) in proposing that, if he were President, he’d just go off and have a little chat with dictators who gleefully kill their own citizens and who promise to kill the citizens of other nations. I said that the President
Continue readingYou’ve heard of Muhammad Al-Durah: this is the boy whom Israeli soldiers purportedly killed in a gun battle. The image of this alleged death was caught on video, broadcast on French TV, and sparked the Second Intifatah, with its thousands of lives lost. The only problem is that the video
Continue readingAmericans do not have any idea how lucky they are to live in a land where freedom of speech is enshrined in the Constitution. More than that, they should resist every “soft” effort to make speech out of bounds on the grounds that it can hurt someone’s feelings. Absent this
Continue readingTom Friedman, man of the New York Times, writes to assure American Jews that Obama is no threat whatsoever to Israel’s security. His column is a nasty little piece of work, not for what it says, but for what it doesn’t say. It opens with a series of scare quotations
Continue readingIt’s a tragedy, but it’s also an interesting look at England today, since this is a story that could not possibly have happened at any time other than the first decade of the 21st Century: Britain’s first Muslim peer, Lord Ahmed [a Muslim peer is an entirely new thing in
Continue readingI did a post the other day about how incredibly naive Obama is if he truly believes you just sit down and chit-chat with dictators and arise from the coffee table having solved all the world’s problems. As the days go by, more and more quality writers and thinkers are
Continue readingI’m beginning to think that incrementalism is one of the most dangerous things out there, whether it’s the way Obama leaks out the truth about his big lies or the way in which the jihadists keep asking for little things from us — no pigs, no dogs, no occupied territories.
Continue readingHave you heard the old expression “a fine Italian hand?” It’s an old saying that applied to a situation in which you believed, at first, that you were dealing with one rather inept adversary. However, as the matter progressed, you began to realize that there was a more skilled, subtle
