 ISLAM AND DEMOCRACY: THE IMPOSSIBLE UNION

 Iranian Muslim Amir Taheri says his faith cannot embrace western liberalism because our notions of equality are antithetical to the basis of Islam.

Ho Chi Kerry

Here we see John Kerry's Vietnamese legacy, and it's got nothing to do with medals.

In the Vietnamese Communist War Remnants Museum (formerly known as the "War Crimes Museum") in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), a photograph of John Kerry hangs in a room dedicated to the anti-war activists who helped the Vietnamese Communists win the Vietnam War. The...

The 'working poor' scam

 "As for "What can be done?" that is a misleading question because the article is about what other people can do for the "working poor," not what they can do for themselves, much less what they did in the past -- or failed to do -- that led to their having such low earning capacity."

The Greatest Danger

"THROUGHOUT history, far more battles have been lost by a failure of nerve than have been won by military genius. Today, the greatest danger to American efforts in Iraq remains the collapse of our will.

It's time to get a grip. For the past few months, the Bush administration has made painful errors, not least in sparing terrorists and insurgents. The revelation of a few nauseating incidents at Abu Ghraib prison became a media feast, an endless broadcast miracle of loaves and fishes. And the Iraqi Governing Council — a monster we created — has proven far more interested in perpetuating the power of its members than in representative democracy.

But the sky isn't falling. And the blunt truth — so bitter to those on the left — is that, even if the sky eventually does fall in Iraq, it will fall on the Arabs (again), not on us."

The roots of enviro-hysteria

"Can it be that The Limits to Growth, one of the wrongest books of all time, is to be updated yet again? The 1972 tome claimed -- among myriad ominous predictions -- that we would run out of gold in 1981, mercury in 1985 and zinc in 1990. In 1992, it was revised to suggest that, OK, we were a little out, but now we know when the needles will go to empty.

And can we really treat seriously yet another Jeremiad from Paul Ehrlich, the man who gave us that 1968 mega-bestseller, The Population Bomb? That book warned of global famine and megadeath well before the last century was out. It should have been called The Prediction Bomb."

Cos is still a flaming, freaking, liberal, (I don't forget things like that) but he sure got them all stirred up this time.  Everyone conveniently forgets that he has been spouting the Donks party line forever.  One time he pokes at the nest and suddenly he's a hero to the Right and a Uncle Tom to the rest.  I don't see it that way but I still enjoy the show.  Watching the Hornets buss around stinging each other is great entertainment!

Three cheers for the Cos

"For years, I've argued that most of the problems many black Americans face today have little or nothing to do with racial discrimination. For the most part, the most devastating problems encountered by a large segment of the black community are self-inflicted. Bill Cosby mentioned several of them, such as black parents who'll buy their children expensive clothing rather than something educational, poor language spoken by many children and adults, and criminals who prey on the overwhelmingly law-abiding residents of black neighborhoods."
