This week, Rush Limbaugh spent a good deal of time discussing a courageous piece by Andy McCarthy entitled, The Wages of Willful Blindness: Is it Time for Defenders of Liberty to Abandon the GOP?. While McCarthy’s entire body of work regarding mainstream Islam demonstrates his fearlessness, with this new article he places himself on a [...]
I would like to direct you to Commentary Magazine, Mitchell Silber’s piece, Who Will Defend the Defenders (see cover story, June 2012). His subtitle reads: The New York Police Department has kept the world’s prime terror target safe for a decade. Why are the media so eager to celebrate an unjust attack on the NYPD? [...]
While the transnational left-wing media would love to do so, discrediting Israel’s conservative Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, is more than problematic. They can’t even lay a glove on the guy. Consider the July 2012 article in Vanity Fair. The magazine promoted the article on its cover by blurbing – Who Does Netanyahu Fear Most? Yet [...]
In the Islamic Hadiths which are elaborations on the Koran, the statement, “War is Deceit,” is attributed to the Prophet Mohammad by his most reliable biographer, Muhammad al Bukhari (810-870). Islam is the only major religion which venerates deceit and proudly holds it up as a central pillar of its orthodoxy. While the Obama administration [...]
Last week’s talks with the Iranians ended badly. The Iranians actually hardened their position. Instead of agreeing to shut down uranium enrichment at its new underground facility at Fordo, a facility which they undoubtedly believe can survive an Israeli attack; they stated that they planned to increase the number of centrifuges there. This should have [...]
Sadly, few of us are celebrating last week’s coup pulled off by our spy agencies precisely because we have again narrowly avoided having to watch American carnage on TV. And this allows us to get back to watching American Idol. But we should celebrate the fact that a fearless double agent, directed by both the [...]
One of the lesser understood phenomenon of history is that small ruthless bands of thugs will inevitably take over vastly larger docile civilizations, the operative words being ruthless and civilized. The civilized are those among us who feel that they have too much to lose and are therefore always willing to deal. The ruthless thugs [...]
In the wake of the first ever Tunisian elections, it is worth reflecting upon the Athenians of the fifth century BC who first conceived of a system of governance where the many would rule the few, and worth considering that it was the Romans who refined the concept of democracy with the construction of their [...]
On Sunday May 1, the night that President Obama announced to the world the elimination of bin Laden, he was adamant in asserting, “We’re not now nor will we ever be at war with Islam.” This unsolicited statement must have been encouraging to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his bosses, the Mullahs running Iran, given that they [...]
This week two suicide bombers from Jundallah (army of God), the Sunni separatists in Iran’s southeastern province Baluchistan blew up a Shiite religious procession killing 39. Relative to this, in April of 2007, I wrote a piece for Human Events Magazine entitled, Iranian Discontent May Well Bring Regime Change. There is one positive aspect of [...]
