A panel organized by the Organization of American Historians recently convened in Manhattan to discuss ties between Nazi Germany and leading US universities.

Americans are being impoverished at the gas pump because Congress has dithered and failed in one of its most important responsibilities. Believing apparently that specifics are not necessary, Senator Obama promises us that his election will bring us all together in one happy family via a miraculous transformation of society and its citizens. The primary goal of the Palestinian Arabs is the destruction of Israel; if they see that violence actually brings them further from that goal that will motivate them to act peacefully. If they know that Israel will retaliate to any acts of violence by annexing land and they know that the world will support Israel in [...] If we could only evolve to the point in which a large plurality of Caucasians ceased in depicting their peers as racists — which then wrongly convinces millions of “people of color” that their worst fears may be true — then we probably would all get along. Taking a page from Al Gore's campaign playbook, Hillary Clinton has recast herself as a beer swillin', gun-totin', good ol' boy. George Handlery on the week that was. At a time when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are fighting hammer and tong for every vote, the last thing John McCain should be doing is grabbing a mallet and using it to pick a fight with the conservative base. Good men don’t turn a blind eye to unrepentant ex-terrorists; support vile, anti-American bigots; lie about their core beliefs; and look down on traditional Americans. The Obama and Clinton presidential campaigns didn’t get the memo that the war is not the issue that will elevate them to the highest office in the land. The cultural impact of the 1960s was sobering: divorce, pornography, drug use, single-parent families, infidelities, unwed mothers and teen-aged pregnancies all exploded, contributing to enclaves of dysfunctional and destructive behavior that constituted a national disaster. Norman Mailer, for all his (occasional) claims of being a social conservative, played a prominent role in ushering in this [...] Yes, two ideas protect our freedoms more fundamentally than the Bill of Rights – if we believe in them. Ignored by the media was that Senate Democrats blocked a resolution welcoming the Pope until “pro-life” language was removed from it. Yet several notorious, pro-abortion politicians brazenly received communion during the papal visit, though not directly from the Holy Father. From fiscal year 2001 through December 2007, Congress has provided DOD with about $635.9 billion for its efforts in support of the Global War on Terror. A new report from the Institute for American Values documents the costs of divorce and unwed childbearing. An examination of the formal assumptions behind each school of conservate thought reveals that they are logically incompatible with one another. Government programs won’t fix the marriage crisis any more than they have fixed abstinence, education, politics, or crime. They can never get at the underlying problems because they rarely treat people as individual moral agents who must make individual decisions and be held accountable. Today's clamor for more regulation of financial institutions to prevent another subprime mortgage meltdown is an exercise in self-deception. From Village Voice editor Mike Lacey's use of the N-word to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's expletive-laced sermons and anti-Semitic rants to Hillary Clinton's stereotype of "evil and bad men," liberals today are becoming increasingly bold in their offensive language. So far, they've gotten away with it. Senator Obama and his wife are both products of the anger of the 1960's
True leaders are too busy succeeding to wait to be led. George Handlery on the week that was. Life in Zimbabwe may not get much better under Morgan Tsvangirai, but it will surely not improve as long as Robert Mugabe remains in power. For the first time in history, the Federal Reserve has granted access to loans at its "discount window," to a non-bank financial institution. If you are sure there is no miracle-working God, then something like Darwinian evolution must be correct. But if there is even a chance that such a God exists, then basic intellectual integrity demands that you take seriously the criticisms directed against Darwinism. |
