72 Virgins and their Civil Rights

December 30, 2010

Rumor has it that suicide-bombing martyrs to the cause of fanatical Islam are granted 72-virgins black-eyed upon their ascent to heaven. Don’t we owe these pictures of purity a modicum of civil rights? We’re sending them the most uncouth of men,murderers, and naïve, gullible children. Don’t these virgins have any choice in the matter, any [...]

Solving the Housing Crisis

November 5, 2010

It may be simpler than the banks would have us believe. In places like Phoenix and Las Vegas, home prices have fallen by up to 50% from their peak. In Arizona and Nevada, more than 50% of mortgages are in negative equity. Yet when banks foreclose, they receive an average discount of 35% below the [...]

Who Needs to Talk for Hamas?

October 6, 2010

As talks between Israel and Fatah grind along, many commentators have asked: where is Hamas? Who is speaking for the duly elected leaders of a good portion of the factitious Palestinian Authority? The answer, of course, is that Hamas speaks very well for themselves. Just read the group’s charter: in Arabic for the Arabs, and [...]

Media Blind Spot

September 17, 2010

General Petraeus recently voiced his concern that the plans of Pastor Terry Jones – the leader of a (very) small Florida church – to burn Qurans on the upcoming anniversary of the 9/11 attacks would endanger our troops. In response to Petraeus’ announcement, Afghan protestors chanted “death to America”.

The Grand Coalition

August 19, 2010

From leftist radicals and boycotting unions to Osama Bin Laden and his ilk—the call is the same: “Israel – get out of Gaza”. Ironically the so-called occupation ended 5 years ago when Israel removed every last soldier and Jewish resident from within Gaza’s border.

Media-Hangover

July 15, 2010

America’s two most urgent handicaps are its legal and media sectors. All-too-significant portions of both groups seem most proficient at driving their self-serving agendas like Transylvanian stakes through the heart of America’s pioneering spirit.

America – Amazing and Tolerant

Over the past decade, untold numbers of Muslim innocents – both Shia and Sunni—have been slaughtered by their co-religionists. Moreover, a growing list of Christians, Jews and Americans have been murdered, blown up, and beheaded throughout the Muslim World and beyond, often for the mere presumption of their birth religion or place.

Recently, James Lindsay and Ray Takeyah – two well-known foreign policy centrists and, at least in the case of Mr. Takeyah, a full-blown Iran expert – took to the establishment pages of Foreign Affairs and the Washington Post op-ed page to (finally) warn against the clear nuclear and hegemonic ambitions of Iran. Subsequently, Mr. Stephen [...]

Changing tacks following Turkey’s thus-far unsuccessful bid for EU membership, it seems that Turkey’s Prime Minister Erdogan is bidding for the leadership of the Muslim World instead. He reportedly bank-rolled the terrorist-associated IHH in buying the lead ship for breaking Israel’s blockage of Gaza, and certainly facilitated the inclusion, without passports and security checks, of [...]

Barack Obama, for what it’s worth, is certainly conducting a consequential presidency. Already history-making in character, Obama’s health care “reforms” and his appeasement-happy foreign policy are game-changers in content as well. America of 10 years hence will not be the same, especially for those of us who love her entrepreneurial style and her indomitable independent [...]
