http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ The question isn’t, “What is Facebook worth?”, the real question is what are we worth? The secret of Facebook is that there is no Facebook, just reams of user data, information voluntarily submitted by hundreds of millions of people in exchange for a free ride, which is monetized by a company that makes nothing […]

THE USUAL FOREPLAY….”WE ARE SO GOOD, SO FAIR, SO SENSITIVE…..BLAH, BLAH,BLAH……BEFORE THE ULTIMATE SURRENDER…. “Historic territorial compromises with the Palestinians that lead to a lasting peace;”…..RSK
With the establishment last week of a broad national unity government in Israel – brought about by the Kadima Party’s bold decision to join Prime Minister Netanyahus government – I believe that Israel is on the crossroads of major positive change.I have been the leading voice in Kadima advocating for this unity agreement, and I believe it provides Israel with an opportunity to make historic advances in several critical areas.
Consider our history. Over a brief 64-year period, the Jewish people have managed to gather their shattered pieces, re-establish sovereignty in their ancient homeland and build a thriving democratic Jewish state.
Seventy years ago, our grandparents were marched helplessly into the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Today, our children walk confidently and freely through the bustling streets of modern Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Israelis should be and are very proud of their achievements. Our society is free and open. Women’s rights, minority rights and the rights of the disabled are enshrined and vigorously defended. The Knesset in Jerusalem is one of the most vibrant and open parliaments anywhere. And our scientific, medical and technological inventions improve lives around the globe.
http://www.steynonline.com/5005/a-ravening-justice To get the obvious out of the way: I loathe John Edwards. I loathe him as a slick ambulance-chasing trial lawyer, as a preening poseur of a presidential candidate, as a multi-bazillionaire “advocate” for “the poor,” as a third-rate sob sister peddling faux-Dickensian guff about entirely mythical “coatless girls” lying in their beds shivering […]

THERE WAS NO MOMENT OF SILENCE AND THEY WERE DELIBERATELY NOT MENTIONED AT THE SALT LAKE CITY OLYMPICS AFTER 9/11 ON THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MASSACRE….THAT’S WHEN MITT ROMNEY WAS THE HEAD OF THE COMMITTEE…..RSK
At 4.30am on September 5th1972, the Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, was the scene for a devastatingly violent and anti-Semitic attack against members of the Israeli Olympic team.
A group of eight Palestinian members of the terrorist group Black September broke into the Olympic grounds and systematically hunted down the Israeli athletes, officials and coaches. Forcing their way into bedrooms in the early morning, the assassins killed on sight and took a number of hostages. The Black September members were demanding the release of 234 prisoners held in Israeli jails and their safe passage to Egypt.
After a failed rescue attempt, undertaken by the ill-equipped and ill-prepared German authorities, eleven Israelis and one German police officer were murdered by the attackers. It is imperative that we do not forget those innocent men that died and I feel a duty to name them:
http://www.thecommentator.com/article/1231/monbiot_v_chomsky_left_v_truth We all know George Monbiot, a top Guardianista and devout member of the Left who has robust intellectual consistency to the point of departing from the line now and then – being roundly denounced by his comrades. Here he is baffled and indeed profoundly depressed by the way that some hi-profile Leftists (and even […]
URL to article: http://pjmedia.com/blog/reasoning-kenyan-born/ Reason is the fundamental element to keeping a republic viable. If the people lose their ability to reason, or their desire to reason, republicanism becomes obsolete. History has proven this over and over again. Hence the reason John Adams said, “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.” […]
http://pjmedia.com/blog/is-it-still-possible-to-question-islam/?print=1 Is it “Islamophobic” to question whether or not the standard picture of Muhammad as depicted in Muslim texts is historically accurate? Certainly many people think so, notably the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The OIC is a fifty-six nation body (plus the Palestinian Authority) that, since the demise of the Soviet Union, comprises the […]

The recent busts in Chicago and Cleveland prove it, and worse can be expected whenever Occupy gathers. It may sound extreme to say so, but consider […]
