Would it be wrong to believe that, for Napoleon to live, his career must die? [...] Now, for the first time in 500 years, people utterly ignorant of the Bible still think of themselves as educated. Stop the defensiveness already. The recent Southwest Conference on Illegal Immigration, Border Security, and Crime held in Arizona, and sponsored by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office served as an important forum for open debate on a major issue affecting U.S. national security, long-term economic health, and crime trends. [...] Ana Marie Cox wrote in an editorial for the Houston Chronicle that “The true scandal in the Abramoff affair–with its shades of 'The Godfather'–may be that it was all perfectly legal.” [...] The lack of U.S. action in response to the October 2000 attack on the USS COLE best underscores the ineffectiveness and weakness of the Clinton administration NSC. The political drive-by shootings and smear-jobs that constituted the heart of the Democrats’ political strategy for derailing any Republican nominee are no longer sticking like they used to. When you work for The American Conservative, people can adduce your standing on the left-right divide without much extra investigation. The “living wage” concept is simply the discredited Marxian dogma that social justice requires equal distribution of wealth and income on the basis of labor hours worked, without regard to productivity or individual merit. Almost 38 years after Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, “separate but equal” still exists in Maricopa County, Arizona. [...] The criticisms leveled against The Doe Run Company simply cannot be sustained, when they are held up against the company’s very socially responsible track record. [...] Erika Holzer’s memoir has taken her relationship with Ayn Rand, Ms. Rand’s teaching skills, and the writing of her two novels and wedded them in a delightful concinnity. In Hoodwinked, Jack Cashill argues that progressive liberal intellectuals have been fabricating “facts” in order to shape the way Americans think about sex, abortion, guns, corporations, history and the American legal system. [...] European "diplomacy" with Iran — supported by Washington — necessarily strengthened Iran. [...] Arizona's liberal Democratic governor Janet Napolitano has a dismal record on illegal immigration. [...] The only valid basis for the Supreme Court to declare a law unconstitutional is where such law conflicts with the actual political commitments made by the American people in the Constitution itself. The calls for an early departure from Iraq echo similar statements from the media during the Vietnam War. [...] Many of today’s journalists are victims of what’s been labeled the “Vietnam Syndrome.” [...] George Allen on the South, Ronald Reagan, school choice, and gun rights. When I’m asked if there’s anything good about getting older, the first thing that comes to mind is, “It’s better than the alternative.” All too often, “science” is just a business to enrich a small group of insiders, via fraud, at the public’s expense. If it is correct to detect a reemergence of a new mutation of anti-Semitism in the West then, it is now part of an “anti” trend that differs in several ways from its historic precedents. The writer’s mother-in-law passed away on Saturday, January 7. While most of the political debate and media attention regarding illegal immigration focuses on border security and llegals who enter the country surreptitiously, there is an enormous number of immigrants who enter the US legally, but remain here illegally. [...] Palestinian gunmen attempted to kidnap Rachel Corrie’s parents earlier this week. Naturally, they blamed Israel. |
