MARK STEYN: TYRANNOUS REGULATION

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/268331 Cass Sunstein is head of something called the “Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.”  I’ve seen enough conspiracy thrillers to know that when someone has so obvious a blandly amorphous federal-job description as that, it means he’s running some deeply sinister wet-work operation of illegal targeted assassinations in unfriendly nations that the government spooks […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: WILL ISLAM DESTROY ITSELF?

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ In his address to congress, Netanyahu said that militant Islam threatens Islam. As if there were any such thing as a non-militant form of Islam. An ideology that was militantly expansionistic from birth. And yet that expansionism does threaten it. It’s not mere militancy that threatens Islam, but its own lack of proportion. Had […]

WES PRUDEN: THE MESSIAH FINDS HIS TIME WARP

The Messiah finds his time warp By Wesley Pruden http://www.prudenpolitics.com/index.php/pruden/notregBarack Obama doesn’t any longer move Americans as he once did. The eloquence once thought cast in gold has been revealed as sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. But he found comfort in a warm, wet time warp in London. You couldn’t blame him if he had […]

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/the-city-of-slaughter/ The City of Slaughter Posted By David Solway Chaim Nachman Bialik’s great poem about Russia’s Kishinev pogrom of 1903 needs to be read and re-read.

MARK STEYN: THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC by Julia Ward Howe and William Steffe

http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/4096/ This essay is drawn from Mark’s book A Song For The Season: Memorial Day in America – or, if you’re a real old-timer, Decoration Day, a day for decorating the graves of the Civil War dead. The songs many of those soldiers marched to are still known today – “The Yellow Rose Of Texas”, […]

GO AHEAD AND BOYCOTT ISRAEL…SEE HOW

http://www.raymondcook.net/blog/ This is a cross-post by Michael Ordman of  Good News From Israel and shows the hypocrisy and ignorance of those who would, in their blindness and ideological zeal, boycott divest and sanction Israel. Note that this is not simply boycotting goods manufactured in the ‘occupied territories’ but ALL goods. Following the decision of the […]

Obama’s warm reception in Britain can’t hide the fact he’s the weakest US president in living memory: ROBIN SHEPHERD

But his lack of global leadership overshadows all. Consider the world-view of the first American president. In his inaugural address, President George Washington spoke passionately about the “…sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of […]

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/may/28/navy-too-politically-correct-for-old-salts/ The U.S. Navy is sailing into politically correct waters, sometimes at a speed too fast for the Obama administration to keep up. Whether it is policies on gays and women, or naming ships after social activists, the Navy is charting a course that has some “old salts” worried. “It’s pretty dire,” said John Howland, […]
