The Muslim world is threatened by religious fanaticism. The Western world is threatened by secular fanaticism. Both seek to dominate society and to use state power to do so. Both seek to eliminate the Other — for Islamic fanatics, that means non-Muslim religions and secularism; for secular fanatics, it means Christianity and virtually any public […]
I think the mainstream media and Washington elite think the majority of voters just fell off the turnip truck. But the South Carolina primary and other current voting trends show otherwise. The MSM are working double time to get us to forget about the unprecedented results of the South Carolina primary, but they are a […]
One of the memorable slogans from the Reagan administration was “peace through strength.” Reagan believed a strong defense was a safeguard against enemy attacks and the best hope of victory should America go to war. President Obama is taking the opposite approach. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently announced cuts in defense spending of $487 billion […]
Here are a few of the latest companies to join the growing list of “green” “sustainable energy” failures that have been supported by the current Administration’s deficit “stimulus” spending. All this financing has been done using your tax dollars…well, actually tax dollars to be paid in the future by your grandchildren and great grandchildren to […]
The hand wringers on the left who don’t think America is worth defending have continued to come up with reason after reason why we should sit on our hands and let the terrorists take potshots at us. I ran across an editorial by Zafar Siddiqui in the StarTribune that seemed to sum up their arguments […]
The United States has embarked on a worldwide “War Against Terrorism”. Many people are questioning how this war will be fought and if it will be won. There are 4 major components to a worldwide war on terrorism: intelligence and diplomacy, the homefront, winning hearts and minds, and the military. Let’s look at each of […]
How much bailing out does one company need? (The correct answer is none, of course) After receiving some $50 billion in tax dollars from us courtesy of Obama’s “cash stash,” GM is claiming success with a “
If you want a case of clear bias, the Washington D.C. affiliate of CBS will surely fill the bill for its bias against pro-life supporters. On January 23 the DC affiliate featured on its website a photo slide show of pictures taken at the March for Life rally held annually at the nation’s capitol. Curiously, […]
I’m sure somewhere this is because of raaaaacism (Washington Post) President Obama ran – and won – in 2008 on the idea of uniting the country. But, each of his first three years in office have marked historic highs in political polarization, with Democrats largely approving of him and Republicans deeply disapproving. For 2011, Obama’s […]
Right Wing News polled more than 250 right-of-center bloggers on which candidate they’d support if the 2012 Republican primaries were today. The following 68 bloggers responded: 101 Dead Armadillos, Advice Goddess, Alarming News, Alexa Shrugged, All American Blogger, All That Is Necessary, American Glob, And Rightly So, Argghhhh!, Atlas Shrugs, Batesline, Betsy’s Page, Black and […]
Sustainability was one of the ideas the United Nations and the extreme environmentals and Warmists ran up the flag pole about a year and a half ago as a way of replacing what they had been attempting to do with “climate change,” namely, put massive amounts of control over people and private businesses, economies, along […]
What an action-packed three years it has been since the last presidential election! With the advent of the Tea Party movement in 2009, the ever-encroaching realm of big government collided with the constitutional principles espoused by patriotic Americans in an unprecedented fashion, and We The People found our voice. We assembled from coast-to-coast in peaceful, […]
We got mixed signals from a turbulent political week. Barack Obama seems to be enjoying an uptick in polls — up toward, but not quite at, 50 percent approval. It’s a reminder that he can expect to benefit from Americans’ desire to think well of their presidents and from the reluctance of many voters to […]
From the: National Post. (H/T: Blazing Cat Fur) Excerpt: After Canada’s first mass-honour-killings trial, three members of a Montreal family have all been found guilty of first-degree murder in the drowning deaths of four other family members – including three teenage sisters. A jury on Sunday handed down its guilty verdicts for Mohammad Shafia and Tooba Mohammad […]
The New York Post reports on: the horror of teacher unions. Excerpt: In a defiant raspberry to the city Department of Education – and taxpayers – disgraced teacher Alan Rosenfeld, 66, won’t retire. Deemed a danger to kids, the typing teacher with a $10 million real estate portfolio hasn’t been allowed in a classroom for more […]
To the Osama Bin Ladens and Talibans of the world, we are the enemy. Many of these people are educated in special religious schools that teach hatred of the United States and Israel along with the Koran. In Palestine, small children are taught that about the glory of being suicide bombers along with their ABCs. […]
It’s tough to be a Democrat these days. President Bush has stratospheric approval ratings, the country seems to have tilted rightward after 9/11, and the Democrats seem compelled to defend their patriotism every time they nervously issue the mildest criticism of George Bush’s foreign policy. While those are significant obstacles to Democratic success, they pale […]

You have to wonder if the Democrat big wigs are starting to get a bit nervous about the Occupiers, wondering if they will continue to be “mostly peaceful” up to the election, and particularly during the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. In many liberal cities, they have passed laws against “camping” on public property. The […]
2.5 minute video by economist Simon Johnson on how: the switch from booze to caffeine helped revolutionize the world.

My latest PJ Media column is called, The Seven Most Penetratingly Brilliant Quotes Of All Time. Here’s an excerpt from the column. Some people love cats, other people love music, and I love quotes. I mean, I REALLY love quotes. I’ve compiled more than 100 different collections of quotes, at one time I ran an […]
Last week, Sarah Palin stepped over the edge of civility. Fox Business host Eric Bolling played a clip of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on “Meet the Press” in which Christie said Newt Gingrich “has been an embarrassment” to the Republican Party. “Poor Chris,” Palin responded. “This was a rookie mistake. He played right into […]
Since the several disastrous accidents that claimed the lives of too many Californians, Pacific Gas & Electric has been fighting criticism over its dismal safety record. In response, the energy provider cried poor and said it needed billions for upgrades and repairs and wanted ratepayers to pay even more for its services. But a new […]
There has been a lot of talk lately about the social security trust fund. The Democrats are accusing Bush of spending part of the trust fund because of his tax cut. The Bush administration is taking up some creative accounting practices to try to avoid spending part of the trust fund while denying that they […]
I spent four hours driving back from a vacation on Sunday and in that time I pondered a few things I thought were worth sharing… – Enron has to be the first time in recent memory that the Democrats seemed to recognize that when a company goes under, the little guys that work for the […]
Yesterday, I ran across an article in: USA Today: that should have created a firestorm of controversy. Apparently Congress has gone as weak in the knees over invading Iraq as a 14 year old school girl at an NSYNC concert’ ‘Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress are skeptical about the need for quick military action against Iraq […]
You may have seen the letter in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, written (purportedly) by sixteen “scientists” who somehow think the Global Warming consensus is something they can dispute. Which, of course, they can. In response, I’m forced to wonder: has anybody ever written an anti-fisking? If not, then witness this TrogloPundit first. The letter […]
