ALEX JOFFE: SPYING FOR ISRAEL

http://www.jewishideasdaily.com/content/module/2011/9/13/main-feature/1/spying-for-zion/e Spying goes on everywhere, all the time, 24/7.  But the way spying is treated—when it is discovered, when it is publicized, when spies are arrested, tried, and jailed—is highly variable, especially in the United States.  The timing is almost never a matter of chance, and the latest stories about American Jews spying for Israel […]

ANDREW KLAVAN: THE WAR ON TERROR IS ALL ABOUT FAITH

The ‘War on Terror’ Is All About God Posted By Andrew Klavan URL to article: http://pajamasmedia.com/andrewklavan/2011/09/12/the-war-on-terror-is-all-about-god/Several years ago, I was speaking with a left-wing journalist who was rather hysterical about the subject of religion — although perhaps I repeat myself.  In any case, she had heard that then-President George W. Bush prayed for guidance before […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE WAGES OF TERROR

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ When Obama set off to visit the victims of Hurricane Irene, instead of visiting the American victims who had lost their homes and possessions– he headed off to Patterson, New Jersey. Patterson is known as ‘Patterstine’ for a reason, it’s home to the second largest Arab community after Dearborn, and while most of its […]

BACHMANN: RUNNING AGAINST PERRY WITH THIS UNSCRUPULOUS AD?…SEE NOTE

I LIKE BACHMANN BUT THIS HYPERBOLE IS RIDICULOUS AS ROGER SIMON SAYS:

“Bachmann, too, once flying high, has herself sunk to a mere 4% (tied with “None/No one”) since Perry entered the race. No wonder she’s sore at the Texan. She took after him, as did Santorum, during the Monday debate because some years ago Perry evidently tried by fiat to have high school girls vaccinated against cancer of the cervix. Perry admitted this approach was a mistake and this whole thing had apparently been rehashed ad infinitum by Kay Bailey Hutchison in her recent, ill-fated run against Perry for the Texas gubernatorial nomination, but never mind. To Bachmann and Santorum this attempt to prevent cancer, whether ill-founded or not, was a form of child molestation or something. The more they went on about this, the more rabid, and frankly scary, they sounded.”

“To have innocent little
12-year old girls be forced
to have a government injection through an executive order
is just flat out wrong.”

I’m offended.

If you watched tonight’s Republican debate, you saw Rick Perry defend his decision to mandate a vaccine for young girls through an executive order while he was governor of Texas. As a mother, I have raised three biological daughters and 23 foster daughters, and I believe taking away a parents right to direct the health care of their children is flat out wrong . It’s a violation of liberty and everything you and I stand for.

RICK PERRY AND THE SEVEN DWARFS: ROGER SIMON

But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person.” — Bill Clinton Nearly every time President Obama delivers a speech about the economy or jobs, something bad happens. His speech to Congress last Thursday night is the latest example. The next day, the Dow […]
