There is a new divide by which we define ourselves: Those who suck in the acrid smell of jihad in the Middle East, pronounce their hallucinations “Arab Spring,” crave more … and those who don’t. Among those of us who

[Editor’s note: This article was co-authored by Bob Morrison] Do elections matter? You bet they do! Until last November, there was a real threat that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) would be ratified by a
The euro crisis increased on Thursday, as yields (interest rates) demanded by investors to lend money to Portugal or Ireland through 10-year bond purchases soared to new highs. Higher yields on government bonds indicate that investors believe that the country
Every media outlet has covered the crisis in Libya but none have identified how the crisis can actually jeopardize our own homeland security. With U.S. engagement in Libya, it’s highly likely that in one way or another, some form of
I don’t believe in burning any religious books, so I wish those seeking attention by doing so would stop. Islamists extremists want their attack to convey strength. In fact, it demonstrates their weakness and inability to deal with any alternative
On the one hand, to be smeared by the Anti-Defamation League for combatting the incursions of Islamic law into this country is a badge not just of honor — which it is — but of effectiveness. To be smeared by
On Tuesday Egypt declared that it is ready to “open a new page” with Iran. They seem pleased in Tehran. The Tehran Times reports: TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi has welcomed a proposal by his Egyptian counterpart
Former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev celebrated his 80th birthday with a bash in London on Wednesday. And celebrities were out in force to glorify the life of a dictator. Tickets went as high as $160,000. Talk about surreal: the co-hosts
Earlier this week, Sen. Richard Durbin convened a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on “Protecting the Civil Rights of American Muslims.” The subcommittee heard from four witnesses, each giving the same one-sided narrative on this issue, but did not hear from
We are drowning in anti-Israel propaganda, and still it never stops coming. Simultaneously, the “Palestinian narrative” appears to us as if in a dream, over and over again, always slightly surreal and yet overly familiar. By now the “Palestinian narrative”
It’s the perfect career segue. Former New York Times UN bureau chief Barbara Crossette has found a home writing for the moribund leftwing rag The Nation. Here’s Crossette’s enthusiastic description of The Obama Doctrine and its new rules for the
Oh, brother. Reminds me of when non-Muslim US servicemen at Gitmo would handle inmates’ korans, they’d use gloves. This was, of course, because the Muslims consider kuffar hands unclean. And, as Mark Steyn pointed out in America Alone, it’s one
President Obama had good reasons to welcome spring with a high profile energy policy address. The first anniversary of the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig is just three weeks away. The President surely knows that this anniversary will
From Japan Times: Radiation is preventing the retrieval of hundreds of bodies from inside the 20-km evacuation zone around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, police sources said Thursday. Based on initial reports after the March 11 catastrophe, the
Conservatives are logical people that ask logical questions about themselves, of themselves and about the world around them. A great failing of conservative thought on a mass scale is an inability to understand non-conservatives, or more specifically, anti-conservatives. These are
Israeli military maps Hezbollah bunkers A few thoughts, as you look at those maps of southern Lebanon provided by the IDF to the Washington Post. Israeli intelligence is not an oxymoron. They are only showing us a fraction of what
Earlier this week, Frank Gaffney appeared on Fox Business News with Eric Bolling to discuss the civil war in Libya. First, Aaron Klein of WND reports on Obama national security adviser Samantha Power’s relationship with far-leftist George Soros and their
The Democratic Party has traditionally supported approaches to reduce American reliance on foreign oil favoring more expensive, less reliable, but “cleaner” energy solutions like wind and solar energy. Yet, in many cases, it has resisted increasing domestic extraction of oil
The President spoke recently about the kinetic military action in Libya. He proceeded to use 3,300 words to give a speech that gave – at first glance – no understanding for the use of force. No regard for military might.
OK, considering may be too strong of a word but the NATO chief sure isn’t ruling it out. That is because the situation in Libya will get worse before it gets worse. Let’s say the rebels are successful in removing
Why on earth would the United States arm the Libyan opposition if it includes members of Al Qaeda? Part of the reason is because President Obama and his aides have a myopic view of what causes terrorism. Most of us
The US ambassador to the UN and the commander of NATO can fight over “flickers” of al Qaeda and Hezbollah among the Libyan rebels, but it’s clearly indisputable that enemy Hezbollah leader Nasrallah (along with al Qaeda’s Abu Yahya al-Libi
