Anti-modernism and authoritarian collectivism have become a mixture with complex ingredients that expresses itself on the popular level by being at the same time anti-modern, anti-American and anti-Semitic.

Somewhere in America tonight, there is a black law professor. He is popular with his students. Only when he receives his college alumni bulletin in the mail does he think back to what might have been. Considered strictly as a way of sustaining human decency, war gets a failing grade every time, because it invariably magnifies the malignity that it purports to resist. Get its government's hands out of the market — and keep them off. Reading Alan Caruba reminds me of the old saying that compares public speaking to a skirt — that it should be short enough to hold your interest, but long enough to cover the subject. The latest example – "World Trade Center Illness." There is nothing in history which would lead any rational person to conclude that all men everywhere at all times are only interested in material wealth. The Holy Father’s call for peace, reason and interfaith dialogue are met by hate, vitriol, and threats by Muslim leaders. It might not be politically viable for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations. But at the very least the United States could get the United Nations off our soil. America’s continued immersion into hip-hop culture is a disturbing trend. Does anyone really believe that family courts are biased against moms? The US Congress should look to the Swiss for ideas on how to solve the immigration crisis. Governing is about compromise. Politics is about winning. And Conservative progress requires both. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas discusses illegal immigration and whether his office will ask for the death penalty for serial shooters in Phoenix. When it comes to this very high profile case, he's not the judge. He's not the jury. He's the man. As the life of the Pope is threatened by fundamental Muslim extremists, cries urging retaliatory beheadings and charges of blasphemy from Westerners are nonexistent. Ramadan observances begin with violent eruptions over supposed insults to Mohammed. Imagine such an ignoble start for the holidays of Christmas, Easter or Yom Kippur. Keith Ellison will be the first Muslim in Congress, and the first former Nation of Islam firebrand to join its august ranks. In the struggle against Islamo fascism, it’s lead, follow, or get out of the way. From the beginning of colonial life in British North America, Puritans insisted that every man, woman, and child be literate enough to read the Bible and to discuss theological questions. From this came America’s first publicly funded elementary schools and our first colleges. George W. Bush's glorious vision of the Middle East is based on his flawed assumption that Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian people are genuinely interested in peace. Did the New Orleans Times-Picayune win a Pulitzer Prize for a journalistic fraud? It sure looks that way. In one interview Robert Frost noted, "I am both a wall builder and a wall destroyer," and hinted intriguingly at the possibility that he was "both fellows" in his poem, "Mending Wall." Air America has never seemed to grasp that the the world extends beyond Manhattan. Advocates will discover that more boys and men will become engaged in prevention and intervention efforts when dating and domestic violence organizations stop dismissing male victimization as inconsequential. What evidence is there that democracy, in any form, can somehow be used to tame the evils of Islam, its jihad against the West, and Arab tribalism? By fighting the war with an ideology instead of a strategy for complete victory, the President is setting the stage for a colossal defeat and retreat. The coalition war against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq; the Arab-Israeli conflict; Iranian and Syrian state sponsorship of terrorism; sectarian violence between competing Muslim sects; Iranian pursuit of a nuclear weapon; all of these conflicts can trace their roots, in whole or in part, to the three root causes of conflict responsible for most of the endemic violence that has plagued [...] |
