HOW DARE SALLY QUINN OR CARL BERNSTEIN BASH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…AND RUSH IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN ASKING:
“Now, I just want to ask you, would Sally Quinn or Carl Bernstein or any two other American liberals ever go on television and say that Islam has to recognize people of other color and homosexuals if it’s to remain relevant? Would they ever say that? Would they ever go on TV and warn these militant Islamists, “Hey, look, you guys, unless you start recognizing women, tell ’em to get rid of the burqa and people of other color and homosexuals, you are going to become irrelevant.”

RUSH: The College of Cardinals is now entering the Sistine Chapel to begin the conclave to elect the next Vicar of Christ. For those of you in Rio Linda, that would be the next pope. For those of you who are Italian, it would be Il Papa.

SCHIEFFER: Now you can’t say that as a fact. I mean…

BERNSTEIN: Well, if you have friends in the priesthood…

Courage? The State Department? by Nonie Darwish

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3622/state-department-courage If the U.S. government is truly serious about honoring those who want reform in the Muslim world, why is it not honoring those people who are sticking their necks out in stating their love for America and peace for Israel? America has been pursuing a policy ever since 9/11 to honor what it perceives […]

WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES: ROGER KIMBALL
