Regis Martin has produced a delightful study of America’s greatest novelist, a “gem” of a book that will lure new readers to the little lady of Andalusia.

Until the West asserts its moral right to exist, we will not be safe from Islamic totalitarianism. The quickly collapsing canard that Islamist rage is reserved only for participants in Operation Iraqi Freedom is still being touted by some on the left here and around the world. William Paterson University reprimanded 63-year-old Jihad Daniel for sending to the chair of the Women's Studies Department an email asking not to receive further invitations to gay and lesbian events. The current game in Washington is to pretend that nobody knew who Joe Wilson's wife was. Rev. Wayne Perryman has filed suit against the Democrat Party, charging “that because of their racist past practices the Democratic Party should be required to pay African Americans Reparations.” There’s sweet irony, there’s delicious irony, and then there’s irony that a spoonful of which would just make medicine go down. The liberal approach to freedom, well intentioned though it may be, does not reflect reality. The embrace of the twisted liberal view of sexuality explains the willingness of the American Catholic Church to ordain homosexual men, but it also explains much, much more. Barney Frank's questioning of Alan Greenspan this month was an example of the Congressional Peter Principle in action. Boy Scouts are the sons of Democrats and Republicans, Jews and Christians, rich and poor, inner city and rural, African-American and Hispanic. Given the absence of consistently impartial and irrefutable facts in much of today’s news reports, is our entire population being manipulated like useful idiots? The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act intended to improve the lot of impoverished Indians on reservations. Instead it created a new, superrich class of savvy capitalist Indians. America should redouble and refocus its military action, not increase its foreign aid, if it wants to attack the "root cause" of terrorism. Throughout his legal career Roberts has evinced a quintessentially conservative virtue: prudence. If Israeli police had killed a Brazilian national mistaken for a suicide bomber, Ken Livingstone would be among the first to condemn Israel. Bombings in London and Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt, demonstrate that terrorists have no boundaries or regard for human life and must be destroyed by all means necessary. After four years of quietly beating the minority to a pulp behind the scenes and at the ballot box, Bill Frist and company exhibited a rare public display of political payback. It appears unlikely that NASA will consider the true free-market solution for America's expensive space program: complete privatization. The fact that people like Kim Gandy of NOW don't like the John Roberts nomination is hardly insignificant. It means that feminists take Roberts’ reputation seriously. There are moderates in the Muslim corner of the ring, but the evidence presents itself that moderation and moderates have but limited influence. Only when the Muslim masses are able to withstand self-criticism will their dependency on conspiracy-theories disappear. David Brooks has touted Giuliani and Senator John McCain as partisans of a non-partisan politics of “courage.” The media won't report that George W. Bush is the first President since World War II to increase VA spending at the rate of growth of the federal budget. Thomas Brewton on "social justice," "equality," "diversity," and other code words of the Left. A movie remake should try to capture the context in which the original movie or series was enjoyed. |
