Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It seems that the absolute savagery in Syria is causing a few Arabs to revisit whether Israel and the Jews are really their enemies. I doubt a tipping point will happen any time soon, but maybe what’s going on in Syria is, for Arabs and Muslims, the equivalent of being
Continue readingI’ve had the weekend to ponder the wisdom of Israel’s attack against Syria and I’ve concluded that she definitely made the right decision. I’ll set out my reasons below, but I’d love it if you’d chime in with challenges, further thoughts, etc. 1. In a day and age of “weapons

Continue readingGandhi is revered because his policy of peaceful resistance brought down the British Empire’s century’s old rule over India. It’s true. It did. But what few are willing to acknowledge is that this tactic worked only because he was using it against a moral nation, one that had been financially
Continue readingI don’t believe there is anyone in the world who knows more about the UN’s ugly obsession with Israel than Anne Bayefsky. In this short video, she nicely sums it up. Almost none of this is new to me, but I appreciate her calm, objective, organized approach to the information.
Continue readingIf this article is correct, Iran’s inherent systemic failures mean that it’s not as far along in developing a nuclear bomb as concerned Western nations have feared. But the article’s author goes on to ask what I can only call a really stupid question (emphasis mine): The news comes as

To cries of ‘racism’, Mr Galloway picked
Continue readingIt’s hard to imagine a more politically incorrect belief system than Islam. The seriously Muslim world stands for women without legal rights or physical freedoms, wife beating, honor killings, child brides, capital punishment for female adultery, and capital punishment for homosexuality. President Barack Obama, however, feels that Turkey’s Erdogan, a
Continue readingIt’s winter break, and I’m coming to terms with the fact that, for the time being, my life is not my own. It belongs to husband, children, mother, children’s friends, neighbors, etc. I never even looked at the news yesterday, which left me feeling both bereft and relieved. Bereft because

Continue readingI’ve had the same ten tabs open in Firefox this entire day. I feel like a madman, trying to create order out of the chaos in my mind. I’m convinced that there’s a thread tying together these articles, but I can’t figure out precisely what that thread is. Maybe it’s

Continue readingOne of the really icky things about the Left is that it lacks a moral compass. There is no good or evil. There are only evil haves and victimized have-nots. In a sane moral universe, cultural arbiters would readily be able to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys
Continue readingI hate cooking. That’s not hyperbole. Restaurants are a constant temptation, but I resist because, during my young lawyer days, I spent way too much of my money on restaurants. With college and old age to plan for, I can’t eat out whenever I like — which is every night.
