I’ve been putting off commenting on the whole GZ mosque thing for awhile. There’s just so much to include and respond to and comment on, and only limited time. (Plus, I have other things I’m reading/researching/writing on.) But, I finally decided to make one, relatively brief post, so here goes…. To borrow a phrase, “let […]
This is one of several posts excerpting Larry F. Sternberg’s insightful book, Why Jews Should NOT Be Liberals (2001, rev. 2006). Here is Part 1. The problem with liberals, as Thomas Sowell points out, is they believe that human behavior can be modified by adjusting the underlying social conditions so that people will begin to […]
I’ve been reading an interesting book, lately, that I wanted to share with you — Why Jews Should NOT Be Liberals (2001, rev. 2006), by Larry F. Sternberg. From the back, This book makes a powerful argument that the principles of Judaism, its laws, traditions, and commandments, are at odds with the realities of liberalism […]
The following is from Bernard Goldberg’s book 110 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken Is #37) (2005/6): ============ Al Franken says he’s a satirist, by which he means he can say nasty things about anyone he wants and then claim it’s all in good fun. Small world. I’m a satirist, too. Not […]
Bonus post for today. I’m told it’s been making the rounds on the ‘net, so I don’t know the originator. But, thanks to Ron Fenner, who brought it to my attention on FB. ================= When your friends can’t explain why they voted for Democrats, give them this list. They can then pick a reason: 10. […]
Something a little different today, but you’ll see the connection. Laurie David (aka Laurie Lennard) is the ex-wife of writer/producer/actor Larry David (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) and devoted mother of Cazzie & Romy David. She is also a liberal/progressive activist, particularly for the (perceived) dangers of catastrophic man-made Global Warming. (Does that make her a […]
OK, some of you may have heard recently about a few of the, uh, questionable uses that the Stimulus Bill money is being put towards — e.g., replacing a 5-year-old sidewalk, studying monkeys on drugs, etc. I know Glenn Beck and Fox News have both mentioned them. They come from a report recently released by […]
She was a Christian. Then she wasn’t. Then she was. Now, she isn’t again? OK, that was the (very) short version. Popular novelist Anne Rice grew up in a thoroughly Roman Catholic home and community. She struggled with some doubts as she got older but stayed faithful. Once in college, though, a combination of factors […]
We did it! Yes, thanks to the many concerned citizens who called and/or emailed their Senators, blogged and/or talked their friends into doing the same, etc., the DISCLOSE Act — which passed the House in June — did NOT pass the Senate (S.3628, aka S.3295) this past Tuesday. It seems that Senate Majority Leader Harry […]
My original post on the DISCLOSE Act was focused more on the NRA exemption, but it affects a lot more than gun rights. It is really a free-speech issue, and the labor unions now have their own exemption. I received the following update today from Mark Mix of the National Right to Work (NRTW) Committee, […]
