Let Someone Else Take Care Of The Palestinians

Apparently the Palestinians’ bloodlust is really starting to catch up with them: “Israel’s security closure of Gaza’s main cargo crossing has hit the coastal strip hard: milk and cheese have virtually disappeared, fruit is hard to find, and flour is running out. The shortages could get worse for the 1.3 million residents of Gaza once […]

Opposing The Democratic “Gay Murder” Agenda

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that I disagree with Merrill Keiser Jr., a Democrat running for the Senate in Ohio, who favors the death penalty for gays. “A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty.

Excerpt Of The Day: Ben Stein On “Bravery” In Hollywood

“The idea that it is brave to stand up for gays in Hollywood, to stand up against Joe McCarthy in Hollywood (fifty years after his death), to say that rich white people are bad, that oil companies are evil — this is nonsense.

A New Jersey Republican Vs. Free Speech On The Net

One of the big problems with government is that the “cures” often proposed to fix whatever the issue du jour happens to be are often considerably worse than the “disease” they’re trying to prevent. For example, one “problem” on the net is that innuendo, rumors, and outright lies are sometimes spread by anonymous posters who […]

Walking The Walk On Cutting Spending

Not long ago, a Pew Research study came out that showed conservatives tend to be happier people than liberals.

Why The Democrats Haven’t Produced A “Contract With America”

Over at the New York Times, Adam Nagourney writes on the Democrats’ inability to put together a coherent party platform.

Jim Geraghty over at TKS, along with Glenn Reynolds, have been the two leading proponents of an idea that’s gaining some traction in the blogosphere: that the port sale represents a tipping point in American politics because for the first time, Americans are no longer willing to trust Muslims.
