“Jews can’t afford to be Liberal…”

That’s a quote, even if I’m quoting myself. Some time ago I said it to a Jewish friend of mine, who is a liberal. (Believe it or not, even though I am a conservative, I do have liberal friends, LOL.) We had been discussing the way the White House has shifted in its Israel policy, has in fact become... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: Some Europeans are coming to Their Senses…

First I read in Corbin’s blog, found here, http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Corbin_Dallas/, that my fellow atheist, Richard Dawkins, is having second thoughts about the decline of Christianity, thoughts I have had for a long time, as those who have been reading me for a while will attest to. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Jerusalem Must Never be Divided Again…

As a follow-up to my previous post I had planned to write at some length about the lessons learned from history which dictate that a partition of Jerusalem would be disastrous. I also meant to show why the Obama administration’s support of such a partition is nothing short of idiotic, since it... Sign in to see full entry.

Can Someone Tell Me What Obama is doing?

No, I’m not talking about the Health Care Reform – as you know, I don’t comment on US domestic issues. I will talk about US foreign policy though and, as far as I am concerned, it’s a bleeding disaster, particularly with respect to Israel. Remember the recent, and still ongoing, spat about Israel ’s... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: The Danish Cartoons Revisited (The Imams and the Piggy)…

You may recall my recent series occasioned by the attempted murder of one of the artists, Kurt Westergaard. Old news, you say? Well, for news you’ll have to go someplace else, LOL – here you only get what’s relevant. And how it is relevant will become clear in due course, I hope, if you’ll bear with...

Stimulating: Coke-snorting Monkeys and More…Part II

Before presenting you with the rest of Mark Steyn’s piece, I need to deal with a comment by one of my favourite liberals, Mal, a.k.a gapcohen, or ‘gap’ for short. She writes: Granted there are abuses in government spending, but what would our lives be like without people in public service? Are you... Sign in to see full entry.

Stimulating: Coke-snorting Monkeys and More…Part I

While I am waiting for some interesting material on Islam, which seems to have been held up, I can turn my attention to other things. I mean, there’s always something to complain about, isn’t there? If you think Islam is the only arrow in my quiver, let me disabuse you of that idea, LOL. There’s... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: The Veiled Presence…Part XXIX (Discussions over Lunch)…

“Why don’t you write about those f*****s?” We were sitting over lunch, my friend Glen and I, and talk had got around to the news about yet another sex scandal brewing in the Catholic Church. He knows I do a bit of blogging, and that I have been writing about Islam. In fact, I had given him some of... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F: The Veiled Presence…Part XXVIII (A Response to Azur II)

Today I shall continue with my response to Azur’s cogent comment, begun in the previous post, and add a few additional observations. Among other things I want stress that not only nuances of ‘moderate’ Islam get lost in discussion in this forum, but also those of Islamo-Fascism, or I-F, as I call it... Sign in to see full entry.

I-F, The Veiled Presence…Part XXVII (A Response to Azur)

At long last, I have a critical comment that goes beyond the ‘look what Bill did’ (demanding that we look at Christian and even Jewish (!) nastiness) and the repetitive assertion that there are indeed moderate Muslims, as if I had ever denied that. Instead we have remarks that raise a very important... Sign in to see full entry.
