Frankly, the alliance of the communist left and radical Islam gives me nightmares. I first became aware of this frightening trend years ago when my husband and  I noticed a definite anti-Israel bias in LA Times articles on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.   Always, always, these biased articles were penned by liberals, supposedly the tolerant, peace loving defenders [...]

"Democracy" ... Somebody can serve you rattle snake and tell you "it tastes just like chicken", but it's still rattle snake.
Egypt held their first elections since the Obama administration helped influence the ousting of ally Hosni Mubarak from the country's leadership. As expected the country's secular government is now about to convert to an Islamic [...]

For the last few years people have been poo-pooing the fact that terror groups, such as Hezbollah, have been training the Mexican drug cartels in Mexico, and Central and South America (more here and here), with the USA as the target in-mind. Do they really think it's all just anti-American hand-holding comradery photo-ops between Venezuela's [...]

September 11, 2001 became the defining moment of my political life. All the never thought of lessons of patriotism taught by my parents and educators, and reinforced by a childhood filled with 4th of July celebrations, all the carefully chosen books, movies and culture I was exposed to crystallized that day. It was the moment [...]

A video remembrance from The Daily Caller.
Ten years have passed since 19 men hijacked 4 commercial airliners, destroying the World Trade Center towers and part of the Pentagon. For many, September 11th, 2001 will always be remembered as a day that changed life in America. Most will disagree on what those changes [...]

Last week, a series of audio recordings were released by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) that detailed the aviation response on that horrible day. The New York Times has created a page that allows you hear the tapes with a rolling transcript. Kudos to them for doing [...]

I remember. I'll never forget.
Here is my 9/11 essay from 2009, reedited for this anniversary:

Abe Greenwald in Commentary Magazine: "What We Got Right in the War on Terror."
[...] The arguments that we have prosecuted the war on terror immorally and ineffectually are important, and deserve the respectful hearing they have received, even if many of those arguing these points have resorted to launching the most abject [...]

A brilliant, two-minute history lesson:

Ros-Lehtinen Disappointed at Egyptian Interim Government’s Recognition of Muslim Brotherhood Political Party

There is no doubt Israel is the strongest, if not the only, one true democracy in the Middle East. All the alleged democracies in the region have had their respective governments toppled, or are in the process of having them ousted. Let's not fool ourselves. The shouts of "democracy" and "freedom" are a farce, as [...]

The alleged stockpile of primo-porn might be part of the reason for the stag parties at UBL's Paki crib. Well, probably not ... But it would make for a good laugh line in an SNL sketch.

Yes, we are concentrating on the financial and employment disaster going on right now within this country. Rightly so that when the 2012 POTUS election cycle comes around the old question should be used by the GOP ticket: "Are you better-off now than you were four years ago?"
However, what's going on under the radar of [...]

He was exercising his First Amendment Rights and killed nobody. As a matter of fact, it was HIS own private property, and unless he tries to make an insurance claim, I have no problem with him burning anything that is his private possession. I am not a fan of this guy, or the practice of [...]

WASHINGTON — Members of the NATO alliance have sternly warned the rebels in Libya not to attack civilians as they push against the government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, according to senior military and government officials.
As NATO takes over control of airstrikes in Libya, and the Obama [...]

Lovely couple, don'tcha think? I'm so glad we jumped right in there to support these freedom-loving rebels ... Funny thing is, I'll bet Qadaffi is a Che fan too. It's sorta like that question people ask in war, "Who's side is God on?" Because I just don't know how much closer to being like Cuba [...]
