I Now Understand Muslims
Their dirty little secret is that they are all pyromaniacs. Everything they do involves some sort of fire. And they will use any excuse to burn something. Consider
Outrage over Salman Rushdie’s knighthood threatened to ignite across the Muslim w…

When Will It End?
Every now and then, I’ll read stories about the fighting in the Middle East, and Peg-Eye Nate’s disgust with the human race makes sense to me. It doesn’t last long, because there is simply too many good people in the…

Bloomberg Goes Independent?
People think that this signals his first step towards running for higher office – the Presidency – in 2008. I don’t see it happening. We already have a bunch of candidates who talk like him, sound like him, and are pushing policies just like him. The…

The Empire Is Struck Back
House Republicans strike back against amnesty with a bill that makes common sense. The centerpiece: it’s called enforcing the law. A novel concept, I know.
Planned Parenthood will no longer be teaching kids in the Show Me State sex ed, and they fe…

BREAKING: The Battle for Iraq is On – from Michael
Michael says this is a new assault in Iraq… a fight that some have known about for a month or so. By the time these words are released, we will be in combat. Few ears have heard even rumors of this battle, and fewer still are the eyes that will see…

World at War: In Depth Part Seven
I first wrote about America being an ideology in 1991, and since then I’ve particularly noticed when someone with a good mind has a different idea about it. It gives me a chance to do more reasoning and, over time,…

Harry Reid And the Holy Grail
When I look at Harry Reid for some reason I am reminded of Monty Python. I mean doesn’t he look he belongs in a Monty Python skit?
And of course it is not too hard to figure out which skit he would fit in best,
not with his constant litany of “Run…

Pakistan Pol Wants Knighthood for Bin Laden
Hat tip, Hot AirSugiero: Because if the author of The Satanic Verses, Sir Salman Rushdie, got knighted why shouldn’t mass murderers like Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and the Taliban leader get the sir-title? This logical deduction was processed by

Muslims wrap their penis in tin foil on way to heaven
“Some of the Palestinian suicide bombers wrap their penises into fire-proof aluminum foil to save them for the pleasures to come.” I couldn’t resist printing that. It comes from a “Symposium: Through the Eyes of a Suicide Bomber” at FrontPage

Michael Yon – Be Not Afraid
I haven’t written much about the war in a while. It’s not that I’ve ignored it, but I’ve had to back away a bit from my constant focus on it. I chastise myself for that because I know that our Soldiers can’t back away and take a break from it. The…

Jessica Alba is too American
Apparently Jessica Alba has raised the ire of some La Raza types for not being Latina enough. She is a third generation American and doesn’t speak Spanish.

Hang him by the boyon
Flogging and 14 years in jail are too soft a sentence for Mr. Bridgewater. Raping a 6-year-old girl is an act of animal and if justice was appropriately served, Mr. Bridgewater would suffer a long slow and painful death.

Porn: Harmful to Men, and Battering Women By Proxy
Many people think Christian women are anti-sex because we tend to dress modestly and don’t flaunt our sexuality. The fact is that religious women enjoy sex more than our secular sisters. That said, pornography isn’t sex. It’s abuse…
