Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I got a letter from a good friend who not only linked me to this worth-reading Uncle Jimbo post, but who also added “Has anyone noticed that all of the airplane incidents since 9/11 have been perpetrated by muslims?” Since I live with a liberal, and I know the score,
Continue readingI’ve been saying for some years that the biggest mistake the Islamists made was impatience. Demographically, between their fecundity and the sterility of Western culture, Muslims were headed towards societal tipping points all over Europe within a couple of decades. Had they set tight, they could have completed what they
Continue readingThis is an important story that’s getting almost no play in the American press: the Indian government believes that an American Muslim who was arrested in connection with a plan to attack the Jyllands-Posten paper, was not only behind the horrific Mumbai massacre, but was also plotting attacks against Indian

In this week’s column about the fluffy multiculturalism that reared its head both before and after Hasan’s deadly terrorist attack at Fort

Private Joe Foster, though, is still ready to do his job, as he did at the time of the shooting, and that despite a bullet strike on his femur.

Continue readingInsane people reflect the obsessions of their times. In the old days, insane people heard messages from the Devil. In the post-nuclear age, they were in contact with Martians. And nowadays, if their Muslim, Islam gives the impetus to their urges. Indeed, Islam is an all-purpose blank check for bad
Continue readingIt’s very simple, according to some British Muslims. You can be a soldier in your nation’s military as long as your military isn’t fighting against Muslims. However, if your military is fighting against Muslims, your military has become the enemy, and you should use your resources and abilities to kill
Continue readingI just heard about the Fort Hood shooting, and have nothing of my own to say. The New Editor, however, is watching closely and updating constantly. Ed Driscoll also has running updates, as does Hot Air. What I learned from a military friend is that, even though it’s a military
Continue readingHorrible 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 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 are several distinct targets when Islam is in charge, two of which are women who offend honor concepts and apostates (that is, those who leave Islam for another religion). For both, the punishment is death. We’ve heard a lot about honor killings recently, so I won’t rehash that here,
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:

But they

All told, before anyone was aware of it, Israel brought in almost 50,000 Yemenite Jews. Not all Yemenite
