Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Yesterday, I suggested that you get a good laugh by watching a slobberingly loving Obamacare rap. Today, I insist that you watch this powerful, hypnotic video about the manifest antisemitism that drives the “Boycott, Divest and Sanction” (or “BDS”) movement against Israel, the world’s only Jewish nation: And if you’re
Continue readingI’d reached critical mass in the inbox. It was either spend the day working through it or go nuclear which, in my case, doesn’t mean blowing up Israel, but does mean simply deleting everything in my inbox, knowing that there’s no way I will ever read what’s in there. I
Continue readingA small Sunday morning round-up…. The Navy: doing the right thing and doing it right. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Not. (It’s worth remembering that, by the time the Soviet Union collapsed, being a doctor there was a women-only job, with about as much cachet
Continue readingI had the opportunity the other day to dine with a collection of Blue State liberals. It was enlightening, not because I actually learned anything from them, but because I learned about them. It was also a reminder of how far I’ve traveled ideologically, because I used to be one
Continue readingA friend sent me this article by a former Israeli soldier who know works for StandWithUs, an organization that counters the antisemitic and anti-Israel bile that pours forth on American campuses under the banner of the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement. The hatred he experiences is staggering, all the more
Continue readingI’ve always liked the Pet Shop Boys, an 80s band that was part of the background soundtrack to my early 20s. I especially liked this song: The Pet Shop Boys just went up enormously in my estimation by taking a principled stand against the fundamentally antisemitic Boycott, Divest, and Sanction
Continue readingI never liked Alice Walker’s writing. The Color Purple was a poorly written pulp novel that got traction because it was marketed as a black woman’s rising up from the chains of racism. Others have written the same, only better. Walker has now confirmed that her bad writing comes about
Continue readingThere’s a guy where I exercise who’s nice, but I’ve never really warmed up to him. He’s not part of the ownership or the management team, so it’s never really mattered to me what I think of him. Last week, though, I discovered that my subconscious might have been sending
Continue readingToday is Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day that was once a memorial day, a day of looking back, but is now a chilling tocsin of what the future might hold. Everywhere in the world, antisemitism is on the rise. Nor is this the cold, clinical antisemitism that once characterized England
Continue readingWhen I lived in England, the Tottenham Hotspurs, a London based football club, was doing very, very well. It had done very, very well the year before too. So Chas & Dave, a popular English duo, wrote a song, which became a massive hit. The song is undeniably catchy, and
Continue readingChuck Hagel apologized for making a fairly nasty gay slur more than a decade ago. The execrable Andrew Sullivan is proud of Hagel, especially because Hagel’s mea culpa wasn’t accompanied by a companion mea culpa to the Jews and the State of Israel, as to both of which Hagel has
Continue readingIn a sane world, Steve Crowder would have his own TV show, rather than three-minute segments. Of course, the discipline of a three-minute segment means that every word he says is worthy. There is no useless, time-consuming filler. Watch and learn. (Ah, heck, you guys already know this. But watch
Continue readingEveryone is having a good laugh at young Obama’s pompous, turgid, and self-referential writing about T.S. Eliot. My thoughts actually went somewhere else. T.S. Eliot was a tried-and-true antisemite. That’s why I’ve always given him a wide berth. The young Obama apparently did not feel the same way about Eliot’s
Continue readingThe handwriting was on the wall in 2008 but Jews, despite having eyes, could not see it: Obama is not now and never was a friend to Israel. His social and political allegiances meant that any protestations of friendship were lies. And certainly his acts during more than three years
Continue readingI wrote this during Iran’s Green Revolution. For the paragraphs regarding Iran, please feel free to substitute Syria, the Sudan, the economic victims of the financially decimated European Union, Palestinian children who are pawns in Hamas’ genocidal strategy, or any other group of people groaning under a tyrant’s yoke. ****
