Weprin Camp Conducts Phony “Jews 4 Jesus 4 Turner” Voter Suppression Calls

Ace reports: You know what Jews really don't like? Jews for Jesus. I have a lot of Jewish friends, and they almost all go banana-sandwich over this. They don't like the invitation to conversion. They do react as if what is being discussed is nearly a hate-crime...

My friend sent me this link yesterday, and I could hardly believe the headline: Margaret Thatcher has become a hip youth icon. Harry Mount was at a party: held at Maggie's, the Thatcher-themed nightclub on the Fulham Road, in west London. It will come as no surprise to...

Let’s Get Real On Constitutional Amendments – And Stop Promising Them

Posted by Matthew Knee on September 13, 2011 11 Comments

Constitutional amendments are oddly popular these days in Republican circles: A Federal Marriage Amendment, a Balanced Budget Amendment, and a constitutional amendment banning abortion have all been part of either congressional proposals or presidential candidate promises. This is a mistake. Controversial issues such gay marriage, abortion,...
