Everyone benefits from being reminded that “Peace on earth, good will toward men” is a very good idea. [...] Racism exists, but relationships matter even more. [...] American education is not only failing all students but it is failing black students decisively. [...] What if you threw a protest party and nobody cared enough to come? [...] Fundamentals, by definition, constitute a core identity and are not open to compromise. In a liberal democracy, the losers in the struggle to influence the power of the state must either submit to laws that go against their fundamental beliefs or simply refuse to obey. [...] Ariel Sharon has left Likud and founded a new political party, while Labor has ousted Shimon Peres and is now headed by Amir Peretz. [...] All good liberals love a murderer like Stanley "Tookie" Williams. [...] There seems to be a complete lack of discretion motivated purely by politics, and not by concern for abuses of power or the safety of the American people. [...] One would think 6,000 charred cars, the destruction of countless shops and other types of property in 300 towns would persuade the French to question their social model. [...] The real lesson of Bosnia is that the creation of a peaceful multiethnic state with a strong central government is a dangerous mirage. [...] The producers of Breaking the Silence made an egregious error in casting a physically abusive mother as a wronged heroine. [...] Legions of our brave American military men and women have died, or been wounded in far-off places, to preserve the freedom of letter writers to be dead wrong. [...] There, at Plymouth, was where it all began — not just the first Thanksgiving, but the America we know and love today. [...] If African-Americans can support Samuel Alito, that unexpected relationship may reap unimaginable dividends over the years. [...] If you ask me, the best American export would be Thanksgiving. [...] The answer, nearly always, to why young people riot is simple. It’s fun. [...] For Democrats, it is not only war in Iraq, but war, war, everywhere; political or otherwise. [...] Unsurprisingly, it is John Kerry who cut and ran from the truth. [...] More adventures with the lunatic left. [...] In this essay, Dr. Carmine distinguishes between exclusionary and non-exclusionary moral communities, and explains why exaggerated claims of victimization made by so many of America’s perennial victims are antagonistic to the community that deems these narcissistic victims deserving of compensation and compassion. [...] David Pyne writes that we must win the hearts and minds of Iraqis to prevail; but to win hearts and minds, they must first be open to being won. [...] Consumers will only return to newspapers if they are allowed, once again, to believe what they read. The public would do well to consider what Dover, Pennsylvania actually did. [...] Despite the antics of both parties’ congressional leadership, the question of war and peace shouldn’t be a red team versus blue team event. |
