Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Horrible story of what happens when political correctness and fear of a violent minority group culminate in a school that saw the administration look the other way for fear of offending those violent minority sensibilities. This, by the way, is how that paralyzing political correctness, a sensiblity that saps courage
Continue readingDidn’t Obama bow to the king? A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show, in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex, and sentenced her to 60 lashes. Rozanna al-Yami is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be
Continue readingThe American and world media go into a screaming frenzy whenever American or Israeli troops injure or kill a child. They do this despite the fact that such incidents are rare and, more significantly, they are aberrant: both the American and the Israeli military go out of their way to
Continue readingThere is no bliss inherent in the ignorance displayed by one judge in England: A judge lambasted a rapist for claiming his victim was a liar – then commended him for becoming a muslim. Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC sentenced Stuart Wood for seven years for the attack, then told him:
Continue readingI want to recommend two interesting things to read as a prelude to my core post. The first read comes from a reliably good source: Rusty Shackleford. Over at The Jawa Report, he looks at the banality that exists side by side with the evil that is North Carolina’s recently
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 readingIt’s been two days since our Commander in Chief lost one of his own in an attack on American soil — and his silence is deafening. When an abortionist died, our CIC instantly issued a public statement and used federal marshals to beef up security at abortion clinics. When one
Continue readingPastor Martin Niemoeller, after the war, penned the famous “first they came for the Jews,” with regard to the way non-Jewish demographics turned a blind eye to Nazi depredations, confident that the Nazis would stop after the Jews, and then after the Communists, and then after the gays. But they
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I directed your attention to the incredibly disturbing footage of Pakistani village authorities brutally whipping a teenage girl before a throng of men, because she violated Sharia norms by being seen in public with her father in law. The footage is disturbing on many levels, not
Continue readingA young British woman, raised in the North of England, escaped her abusive Muslim father and converted to Christianity, a fact that saw her father lead an axe wielding mob clamoring for her death. She wrote a book about her experience. When the Times interviewer asked why she didn’t seek
Continue readingIt’s not just that a furious Muslim mob jeered at British soldiers returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan, although that’s bad enough. What really got me about this story is the picture, about a third of the way down, of the Muslim women who joined in the protest. Again, remember,
Continue readingI’ve been reading two things that seem to twine together. The first is the ongoing news out of Gaza, about Hamas continuously firing missiles into Israel (as well as into their own population). Noah Pollak wrote a very good commentary in response to a question about why Hamas, through its
Continue readingA local Marin woman hitched a ride with a peace group to stay with some Palestinians, and came back filled with useful information. Anna Rogers found “shocking . . . how much Arab land has been taken over and how crazily restrictive it is for the Palestinians.” That’s an interesting
Continue readingShortly after the founding of the State of Israel, the Jewish state began Operation Magic Carpet in order to rescue Yemeni Jews who were being threatened with extinction from their Muslim neighbors. All told, before anyone was aware of it, Israel brought in almost 50,000 Yemenite Jews. Not all Yemenite

How is the supreme deity gratified or honored by the sadistic disfigurement and dismantling of his creations? Then I came to my
