The Shalit case represents the classic struggle between heart and mind. Israel can expect to pay a terrible price for this exchange given that the deal to free Gilad Shalit involves reducing the life sentences of two hundred and eighty mass murderers responsible for hundreds of Israeli deaths. [...] A book with an interesting premise, but also with historical problems [...] I am so tired of the overuse in political columns of the Biblical admonition against Christians, "judge not lest ye be judged." [...] The only reason why the outlaw Iranian regime has been allowed to go on for three decades is the misguided appeasement tactics and policies of the American and European governments. [...] As long as the government continues to provide grants and subsidies, the solar energy industry will remain rock solid – until we taxpayers cannot/will not continue to provide support. The ultimate question is, If the solar power industry is so great (as advocates claim), why can it not support itself? [...] The United States issued a "strong condemnation" of the April attack, just as they did after an earlier attack in 2009. "Strong condemnations" don't stop massacre in Camp Ashraf. What they need to do is to take the MeK off their list, to do it before any more innocent refugees are murdered, and to do [...] The second best conservative commentator has a new book that teaches us the world is full of inconsiderate folks. [...] About causes and effects. [...] First the left tried to copy the right with talk radio and failed. Now it is trying to copy the Tea Party with its Occupy Wall Street protests. It will also fail. [...] An alliance exists between Mexican and Colombian drug gangs as Islamic terror groups. The plot became known to U.S. authorities when one of the suspects, who lived in Texas, contacted an undercover DEA agent and asked for assistance from the deadly Los Zetas drug cartel in Mexico to assassinate the ambassador. [...] The left loves those who are morose and lackadaisical about most aspects of life, and who bring that pessimism and even anger to the national stage; witness the Occupy Wall Street gang. [...] Small steps like this bill are the hard, boring stuff out of which significant political progress is made. It won’t be easy, but clearly the political momentum is in favor of doing something about this problem. [...] Too few discern error inherent in transformative, seeker-friendly language of some churches. [...] The communitarian church has it all wrong. Expectations of customers (believers) or noncustomers (seekers) don’t much matter. The work of the church is not man-centric. Her mission is to please God, not man; and as good and faithful servants, believers rightly seek the praise of God, not their fellows. [...] If the populist left and the populist right align, as they well may, we may be on the cusp of a Constitutional Realignment, or, stated plainly: really throwing the bums out. [...] Grandfatherly advice for the current generation of street protestors. [...] Holder, the man whose misfeasance led him to drop the infamous Black Panther voter-intimidation case, now may have done what all corrupt men, sooner or later, eventually do. He has tripped up in his efforts to hide his misdeeds. [...] Examination of the list of demands purportedly issued by the “protestors” leaves us wondering whether or not they understand how an economy works. [...] Herman Cain is delusional if he thinks we can solve the China trade imbalance by outgrowing China. But he does seem to understand that what passes for free trade isn't working. [...] The University of Pittsburgh has been bullying other medical facilities for years, including double-charging their customers. [...] Barbara Slavin, who has been highly critical of the Iranian opposition organization MEK, has an awfully cozy relationship with the Iranian government. [...] The threat posed by Chinese monetary and trade policies has still not made it to Washington, D.C., the center of the debate over the destiny of America’s future. Surprisingly, Senator Charles Schumer seems to get it. [...] I am going to defy the conventional thinking in suggesting that Steve Jobs and what he represented have not been all that good for us or our culture. [...] Virginian Governor Bob McDonnell's intent to implement a toll on an already completed road is double taxation: once for the gas and once for the trip. A better solution would be to make the gas tax a percentage instead of a fixed amount, like we do with cost of living adjustments. [...] The U.S. Senate got the definition of natural born citizen exactly right in Senate Resolution 511 regarding John McCain, but refuses to apply the same definition to Barack Hussein Obama II. Why won't anyone do anything about it? National security. [...] |
