WikiLeaks: Criminal Enterprise

From Marc Thiessen, at Washington Post, “WikiLeaks Must be Stopped“: Let’s be clear: WikiLeaks is not a news organization; it is a criminal enterprise. Its reason for existence is to obtain classified national security information and disseminate it as widely as possible — including to the United States’ enemies. These actions are likely a violation […]

 

‘Gender No Longer Forms An Essential Part of Marriage’

Folks are reacting to that line at the ruling. AoSHQ is especially good. And Jeff Goldstein responds: … this ruling does nothing more than enshrine the notion that what has always been the definition for marriage can no longer be the definition for marriage, because defining marriage as it has always been defined is discriminatory […]

Weddings and More. How Two Former President’s Daughters Are Quite Different

As you have probably heard, Chelsea Clinton got married this past weekend. As I suspected, the wedding cost anywhere from $2 million dollars to $5 million dollars. Even at the low end of those numbers, that’s 20 times the cost of Jenna Bush’s wedding, which cost around $100,000. It doesn’t bother me how much Chelsea […]

 

Booman Tribune Blood Libels Pamela Geller, Author of The Post-American Presidency

Blood libel accusations are a central manifestation of historical anti-Semitism. BooMan‘s deliberately vague remarks about how he “could accuse” people like Pamela Geller of “committing acts of bestiality, ritual Satanism, and drinking the blood of gentile babies” are drawn right out the ancient books of eliminationist Jew-hatred. Just to imply such abominations among conservatives is […]

CINO

Anne Rice, founder of the sparkly-vampire craze of the naughty-aughties, is no longer Christian.

Indeed, Fascism Is Happening in America

Original post at 73wire.com I was reading Michael Zak’s article on Big Government and found his observations rather poignant.

Hillary in a Bind: Pakistan Aiding Taliban

Original post at 73wire.com This is getting even more interesting.:  Last week, I reported that Hillary promised more aid to Pakistan to the tune of $500 million, totaling about $1.5 billion of taxpayer money, and the next day she accused someone in the Pakistani government of knowing where Bin Ladin is.:  Terrific, right.:  Well, it […]

Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea

I’m about half way through C. Bradley Thompson’s new book, Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea. Yeah, it’s an attack on neoconservatism, by one who was sympathetic to the ideology at one time. It’s an excellent read, although I disagree with its conclusions, and it’ll take me some thinking to put those disagreements in more […]

Imam Feisal and the Ground Zero Mosque

It’s amusing that Charles Johnson, who was once perhaps the country’s lead anti-jihad blogger, has done a 180 degree turn, and is now an apologist for radical Islam. Here’s his post today (at a Google-safe link): “An Interview with the Lead Developer of Park51.” C.J. smears Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer (and their supporters) as […]

Recess missing one key demand from the Obama/Pelosi Led House

: : : : : : : : : : :  The one thing Obama seemed to pride himself on was that his legislative majority, especially in the house, was behind him.:  When ObamaCare was signed into law, it was called a triumph by many of the liberal Representatives who supported it.:  However, when it came to actually supporting it on their land via health-care […]
