The main focus of Mark Steyn’s new book is on the underlying demographic trends, including low native birth rates and rising Muslim immigration, that are steadily transforming Europe into an Islamic stronghold. A review of America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Despite the demonstrated superiority of conservative principles for organizing human society, there is nothing “natural” or “intuitive” – let alone inevitable – about them. Granting congressional representation to the District of Columbia is not the greatest civil rights challenge of our time. Political arrests are down, women's rights are on the rise. Life under Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to the New York Times. The American people may in some sense be “conservative,” but the political, intellectual, and economic elites that set the terms of debate are most definitely liberal. A response to Jeffrey Lord's article in the American Spectator. It's time to start fighting back against the jihadists in our midst, who abuse our freedoms in order to destroy our society. Does the quality of one’s legal representation depend on the color, gender or physical condition of one’s lawyer? The truly great men who have led this nation throughout our history deserve the American people’s most heartfelt thanks for a job well done. I find it very troubling that conservative commentators are so offended by a few harsh words for our sworn enemies. 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. As a veteran of the Reagan administration, Peggy Noonan should know better than to confuse a failure of leadership with the impossibility of leadership. The truth of the matter is that, despite vigorous opposition from the anti-war crowd, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were the “easy” first steps in the War on Terror. Mr. Morris’ understanding of the facts of this case is fundamentally flawed. Since the war on terror began, 1,200 American troops have been killed. John Kerry sees this as a tragic milestone; I see it as a heroic sacrifice. |
