http://www.nationalreview.com/node/364765/print Washington, D.C. — “These people don’t understand what the government is trying to do for them,” said then-chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Dan Rostenkowski in August 1989, after senior citizens angry over a federal health-care law booed him and chased him down a Chicago street. That law was repealed a few […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/364731/front-man-kevin-d-williamson Conservatives have for years attempted to put our finger upon precisely why Barack Obama strikes us as queer in precisely the way he does. There is an alienness about him, which in the fever swamps is expressed in all that ridiculous Kenyan-Muslim hokum, but his citizen-of-the-world shtick is strictly sophomore year — the great […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/print/the-mendicant-and-the-medal-of-freedom There is a glaring and ironic contradiction in President Barack Obama’s mendacious bestowing of the Medal of Freedom on anyone. During his two terms in the White House, he has done perhaps more than any other president to reduce the range of freedom of individuals to achieve anything. In the unlikely event I was ever nominated for the Medal of […]
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/what-we-can-learn-about-iran-from-thomas-l-friedman New York Times’ Opinion writer Thomas L. Friedman demonstrates in his November 19, 2013 piece entitled “Let’s Make a Deal” how a well admired and rhetorically brilliant influencer can be little more than today’s most “useful idiot.” Friedman often seems to function as a White House “rabbit,” preparing the ground in advance for the […]

Sunday morning’s interim nuclear deal that six Western powers made with Iran’s rulers is a disaster in search of catastrophe–the latter in the form of the planned final deal six months hence. On Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace began his report on the deal having been reached […]

Earlier this month, at UCLA, Professor Emeritus Val Rust was subjected to a classroom sit-in by black graduate students who charged that his correction of their grammar and spelling mistakes on dissertation proposals was a case […]
http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/steven-plaut/israeli-court-whitewashes-medieval-blood-libel/print/ Raed Salah is the head of the Islamofascist “Northern Islamic Movement” in Israel, a thinly disguised front for the Hamas. He is violent and pro-violence. He is also a naked anti-Semite who makes the Grand Mufti of the 1940s look tame. Salah, you may recall, gave a talk at Haifa University a few years back […]
http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/why-obamas-iran-nuke-deal-is-a-good-thing/ Obama was never going to stop Iran from going nuclear, but his promises gave people who should have known better, including American Jewish leaders and the Prime Minister of Israel, the idea that he would stand firm. “Iran’s leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of containment; I have a policy […]

From what I recall of my childhood, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s civil rights movement was not universally embraced in the black community. Some blacks were frightened by his actions and angry at the “crazy” colored man for stirring up trouble. “He is making things worse for Negros!”
But MLK became an American icon.
In 1977, world-renowned architect Phillip Johnson was approached by Rev. Robert Schuller with his “crazy” impossible dream. “So, you want to build a glass cathedral in earthquake country without obstructed views to the front, and you have no money?” Rev. Schuller replied, “Yes.” The Crystal Cathedral is now the largest glass building in the world.
Considering that slavery was the norm, founding father Thomas Jefferson calling slavery a “moral depravity” and the greatest threat to the survival of our new nation was a “crazy” thing to say.
Talk about history repeating itself: attempts were made to seduce Jefferson with “fixes” for slavery. If slavery could be made kinder and gentler, that would nullify the need to repeal it. Jefferson did not fall for their trap. He demanded total repeal.
