This hot post was first published on August 30. I wrote a month or so ago about my intention to attend the 8/28 Restoring Honor Rally despite the not-so-subtle-threats of the New Black Panthers and  the “looming” presence of Al Sharpton. I confess though as the date drew near I succumbed to profound misgivings—given dire [...]

The long awaited train wreck known as Meghan McCain’s Dirty Sexy Politics was released August 31, 2010. She totally wrote it. By. Herself. And we read it – the entire 194, long, painful pages. We are givers like that, even though we are now slack-jawed and drooling givers, but still. If you’ve read Meggie Mac’s [...]

Originally published here. Few things are more ugly than a man who would whore out his own bride for personal folly. Professed Catholic and MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews has done exactly that to his own church in a petty attempt to bring shame on Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally. Matthews’ utter failure to report important [...]

It’s been six years since the Beslan Massacre – what some have referred to as Russia’s 9/11 – where over 1,000 men, women and children were taken hostage at a school for three days. In the end, nearly 400 of them were murdered, 156 of whom were children. The particular details of this atrocity have the power to [...]

Hollywood has a well deserved reputation for so-called liberalism. As frustrating as it may be for mainstream America to cope with an entertainment industry which is often fundamentally opposed to its traditions and values, it is not difficult to understand why leftist thought is so attractive to entertainers. Several years ago, my family celebrated a [...]

Yale University’s Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism hosted a major conference in which I was privileged to be a participant. “Global Antisemitism: A Crisis of Modernity” was envisioned by Professor Charles Asher Small who founded the Initiative. The conference was also sponsored by the Issac and Jessie Kaplan Center for Jewish Studies and [...]

This post was first published on August 30. Have you ever wondered, just for a moment, “what are my children being taught?” Conservatives want you to be educated, and they know that most of the time just going by what you’re told in the classroom isn’t enough. Conservatives would rather you look at all sides [...]

I write a weekly recap for another website, putting together audio and webcam highlights from the week in conservative talk radio. I always have way more material than I can possibly use. And believe me, my friends and family get pretty sick of me trying to get all those leftovers out of my brain by [...]

Much has been written of Glenn Beck’s 8/28 Restoring Honor event on the National Mall in Washington D.C., which attracted approximately 500,000 attendees. Beck himself has deemed those who traveled from all across the country the real stars of the event. The Wall Street Journal’s James Freeman agrees. One would not be able to find [...]

The Qur'an on lashes: "Let no compassion move you" (24:2). No worries there in Iran. After all, Ashtiani has already received 99 lashes once before. "Iran stoning woman 'to be lashed over photograph'," from BBC News, September 5: An Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery now faces...

Every day brings new revelations of how shady and dishonest the leaders of the Ground Zero mega-mosque initiative are, and how fishy the whole endeavor has been from the beginning. "Mosque building owners nixed $18M offer before taking $4.8M one," by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein in the New York...

Recently I posted two pieces -- an explanation of jihad and a critique of the separation of religion and state -- written by Muslims, and invited moderate Muslims who rejected them on Islamic theological grounds to explain why, so as to help distinguish themselves from the "extremists" and demonstrate the...

Over the next few days and weeks, American children, teenagers, and young adults will say goodbye to summer and begin another year in the nation’s public schools and colleges. (It never seems to be long enough, does it?) Sadly, as our readers are well aware, the days where students only had to worry about reading [...]

Here is your daily meditation for Sunday morning. This lovely and moving testimony to the greatness of Allah comes to us from "Jameela, Messenger of Allah," jameelamoa@gmail.com, whose IP address is 24.99.38.164, which traces to Marietta, Georgia. Jameela sent an almost identical message to SIOA on August 23, and has...

The September 13, 2010 issue of TIME Magazine arrived yesterday. The cover story is titled “Why Israel Doesn’t Care About Peace” and is illustrated by a large Jewish star composed of daisies. Yes, daises—as in “counting daisies, don’t have a care in the world.” This is precisely the point of Karl Vick’s article. He writes: [...]

New York schools are giving tests to high schoolers that whitewash and promote the history of the spread of Islam, all while attacking the history of Christianity.

It’s not a secret that the once great NAACP has become little more than a generally useless left-wing organization that works to gin up and amplify racial strife for fun, profit, and political rewards. Unfortunately for the NAACP, America’s not a racist country any more, so it often has to REALLY stretch to find things [...]

NewsReal Blog has tried unsuccessfully to talk to the organizers and supporters of the Ground Zero mosque. Here are the questions that should be asked and the answers we would like to receive. NewsReal Blog: Does location matter: what if the mosque was built right at Ground Zero-would that be ok? What about across the [...]

Hugh Hewitt interviewed Senate minority leader John Boehner a few days ago, and could not get Boehner to commit to a rapid legislative agenda to repeal and reverse the democrat’s leftist legislative cramdown after the midterms in November. Boehner hemmed and hawed, sounding every bit like the establishment inside-the-beltway career politicians that got us into [...]

Newsweek‘s Jonathan Alter just doesn’t get it. See, “‘The Illustrated Man’.” Obama’s certainly socialist — or neo-socialist, as Jonah Goldberg has explained — and that’s to say nothing of “terror-coddling.” Our maddening times demand that the truth be forthrightly stated at the outset, and not just that the president has nothing in common with the [...]
