“Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, [...]
I have always marveled at how the Left’s perspective on Government is akin to my view of Christianity: they are devoted to it and have faith in its ability to solve our problems. Accordingly, someone like Algore could justify $353 in charitable gifts (not even to a church, necessarily) because his taxes were intended for [...]
This is an excellent op/ed regarding the “coalitions” those on the Left are willing to abide in their spite for Dubya (and for their political betters, generally). It’s an old saying that politics makes for strange bedfellows, but in this case the relationships are disturbing more than strange.
David Klinghoffer exposes the fallacies in the recent Federal judge’s decision that “Intelligent Design” is inherently religious and, therefore, prohibited from being presented to school children.
Here’s another excellent op/ed on the issue from Pat Buchanan. Great quote from Buchanan:
If scientists know life came from matter and matter from non-matter, why don’t they show us how [...]
Here’s an interesting story concerning a UCLA study on media bias that is worth reading: newsflash, the media is overwhelmingly biased toward Liberalism.
One great example that I just read (via Drudgereport.com, which is mentioned flatteringly in the above article) shows a Lefty bias as a mistatement by the President (again, is this newsworthy?) is [...]
I am encouraged to see some semblance of even-handedness in Jonathan Chait’s response to the President’s Iraq address this evening, but I can hardly believe his several assertions about Bush not being magnanimous about the war (or about anything, for that matter). Chait wrote:
A SURPRISE IN BUSH’S IRAQ SPEECH:
I am not, to say the least, [...]
This is a fascinating article about the Muslim roots of the Barbary Pirates–the world’s first Islamo-fascists. A great quote from the article is that of the ambassador of the Barbary states when asked by then-Ambassadors Thomas Jefferson and John Adams why they were hostile to the new American republic:
[The Barbary Ambassador] answered them, as [...]
This quote in an obituary for investigative journalist Jack Anderson really bothers me, because the accusation shouldn’t be treated cavalierly–if true, nor loosely asserted.
Such scoops earned him a spot on President Nixon’s “enemies list.” Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy has described how he and other Nixon political operatives planned ways to silence Anderson permanently _ [...]
It is interesting to watch as the Left attempts to characterize the Patriot Act, and by proxy, the Bush Administration, as a fascist hammer. For example, the NY Times conveniently “reported” a story that was more than a year old about executive-branch-approved eavesdropping on persons with terrorist links, just as reauthorization of the Patriot Act [...]
Here’s an interesting article about the GM situation, and from the looks of it, you can hardly blame them for moving operations to India.
