On Friday, I wrote the following about evil, At the RightOnline summit at Austin, we actually discussed the nature of “evil” for a while. While most people think of “evil” as a greasy character, twirling his mustache while planning to hurt the innocent for the sheer joy of it, that’s not an accurate description of […]

While mingling amongst the guests, I heard the following: — “Bush is an idiot.” — “Getting shot down in a war zone doesn’t automatically make McCain qualified to be CIC.” — “They shouldn’t have tried to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about an affair. All guys lie about affairs when first confronted about them. Bush […]

I’m not really one for doing reviews, particularly book reviews. Typically, I will dive into a new book before I can even get around to writing a review, but, I have found the new book by Harry Turtledove, The Man With The Iron Heart, rather interesting. Via Amazon What if V-E Day didn’t end World […]

Robert Spencer on Muslims and “hate speech” laws: [T]he unrelenting and unanimous practice among Muslims of labeling any honest discussion of the elements of Islam that jihadists use to teach violence and supremacism as “hate” will bear bitter fruit in this: if it indeed becomes illegal in the U.S. to say something that Muslims deem […]

I keep waiting for that headline and yet it never comes. Nope. The headline is really this and gotta love MSNBC man, don’t say it, guys. Don’t. You. Dare. Say. It: “Chinese group vows Olympic game attacks.” A group, eh? Must be a Christian group! Oh, wait. The subheading says this: “Muslim separatists also claim […]

I‘m sure you heard about 9 soldiers being killed in Afghanistan a couple of weeks ago. As AP reported it, it was a “setback”, the “newly established base” there was ‘abandoned’ by the Americans. That, of course, was the extent of their coverage. Steve Mraz of Stars and Stripes and Jeff Emanuel tell the rest […]

Usually, I start this type of story out with “I bet you think this was found in the Credentialed Media” or “I wonder if the CM will cover this,” or something to that effect, and the story comes from a source such as Operation Iraqi Freedom. In this case, THE main newspaper component of the Credentialed Media, […]

Written by Kender and crossposted from STACLUAs if the ACLU’s hypocrisy regarding the Boy Scouts and religious organizations weren’t enough now we have them stepping up and stating “the evidence you have is old.” In its latest filing before the federal district court in Dallas on behalf of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) […]

A few days ago, Dr. Roy Spencer gave testimony before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee chaired by Sen. Barbara Boxer. To say his testimony wasn’t at all what she wanted to hear, would be an understatement. Highlights: Regarding the currently popular theory that mankind is responsible for global warming, I am very pleased […]

A Muslim immigrant named Mustafa Taj approached four teenagers at a subway station in Calgary [Alberta, Canada]. He demanded of them, “who’s Jewish?” When sixteen-year-old Nichola Cordata said “me”, Taj said “I’m Muslim and hate Jews” and slapped her face and pulled her hair. Cordata’s friends tried to help, and they were beaten, and one […]

And what is the cause? The cause, quite simply, is money. Money is the root of all evil. Well, that’s certainly the case in Washington, D.C. where Congress seems to believe that your hands on your money is evil, while their hands on your money is good. The Republicans have one issue that nearly every […]

While in Germany posing as a world leader, addressing the sort of rally not staged there since the 1940s, and soaking up the adoration of people who don’t like this country very much, Obama was scheduled to pay a visit to American troops. But this leg of the trip was abruptly canceled for mysterious reasons. […]

Things aren’t going well for Kwame Kilpatrick, who as mayor of America’s most liberal city could be said to personify the politics of moonbattery: DETROIT — A 36th District Court judge restricted Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s travel and revoked his personal bond today during a bond hearing, one day after the mayor was accused of assaulting […]

I’m just wondering what you think. Is the Obama momentum still building or do you think that there will be a backlash coming soon? It has already started in a way with the “mocking” of his unbearable lightness of being, but I don’t expect the United States press to stop the lovefest. However, will the […]

Buzz, buzz, buzz. You can’t turn anywhere without Obama’s speech in Berlin being discussed. The kool-aid drinkers are orgasmic. The opposition is in spin mode. But what about reaction elsewhere? One of the more interesting articles I found was that by Gerhard Spörl in Speigel Online. In his lede, he pretty well sums it all […]

Senator Jim DeMint is again one of the last defenders of conservatism and common sense in the face of a massive taxpayer bailout of the corrupt Democrat enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: For proof of how powerful they remain, even in their straitened circumstances, look no further than Majority Leader Harry Reid’s refusal even […]

Over at the Smirking Chimp, Ernest Partridge is riffing about evil, In words consistent with what I have read of, and about, Gustav Gilbert, he is portrayed in the 2000 TV film “Nuremberg,” as telling the Head Prosecutor Robert Jackson (Alex Baldwin), “I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil.

The enormous improvement in Iraq’s security situation caused by the surge has been so undeniable that even the mainstream press has started alternating between ignoring Iraq completely and acknowledging, albeit reluctantly, that the surge has put victory within reach in Iraq. So with that in mind, it’s worth taking the time to look back at […]

Over the last few years, we’ve heard endless comparisons between George Bush and Hitler, but let’s face it: Obama has a lot more in common with Hitler than Bush ever did. Obama is toweringly arrogant, uses messianic, fascistic rhetoric, seems to have ambitions that stretch past his own country to the world, and has legions […]

When is a bombshell not a bombshell? When it makes a prominent Democrat look bad. Anyone who doesn’t rely on the MSM for news knows by now that John Edwards, who made a big deal about his loyalty to his cancer-stricken wife during his failed presidential campaign, was actually cheating on her and presiding over […]

Here’s some good news for anyone sick of being force-fed a relentless diet of pernicious environmentalist hogwash: Last week, The New York Times noted that the advertising industry is pulling back from green-themed marketing, having “grasped the public’s growing skepticism over ads with environmental messages. And advertisers’ concerns are buttressed by the recent sales figures […]

Yesterday, I spent most of the afternoon moderating comments. I criticized Obama and wondered at his propaganda usage, location, and methods and that brought the rain of hate. But there was one comment that I loved the most just for sheer creativity. I mean, “die bitch” is pretty boring. This one has some flair and […]

The latest, urgent crisis to grip the European Union, and of course, a commission is needed to enforce the rules. From the BBC: Trade in seal products would be allowed only where they came with guarantees that the animals did not suffer unnecessarily. A certification scheme would be established including, if necessary, a distinctive label […]

McCain wants to start the surge too early, Wesley Clark gets his facts wrong and also claims the Saudis had a hand in calming the violence – the surge has become a bit of a political football in this not yet official presidential contest. So let’s discuss this as rationally as possible. Yes, the Anbar […]

“Asked about the National Enquirer story, Edwards says: “That’s tabloid trash. They’re full of lies. I’m here to talk about helping people.” Translation: The story is 100% take-it-to-the-bank true. As Byron York notes, the Enquirer probably paid sources to get the story, but the reporting looks solid. If the account of him being caught in […]
