Newt’s immigration policy crazy like a conservative fox

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 28, 2011 13 Comments

Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann (as well as many Mitt supporters in the media) have been distorting Newt Gingrich's position on immigration as one favoring "amnesty." Via The Shark Tank, here is a video where Newt explains his immigration policy. I believe it's a fully acceptable...

More tick tock in Syria

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 27, 2011 12 Comments

Like I said Friday, the fuse has been lit. I think it's too late for Assad to put it out without a major blow up. Now the Arab League, in an unprecedented move, has imposed economic sanctions on Syria, including travel bans on senior officials and...

The only reason, the only reason, the only reason anyone pays any attention to David Frum is that he is the mainstream media's "useful conservative," someone who screams about the crazy Republican Party and Tea Party movement. He is worse than a carnival barker, because a...

Manchester Union Leader endorses Newt

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 27, 2011 28 Comments

Newt Gingrich has picked up the endorsement of New Hamsphire's largest newspaper, the conservative Manchester Union Leader. This newspaper endorses Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary. America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next...

Eurogeddon

Some scary warnings out there, as reported by The Telegraph: As the Italian government struggled to borrow and Spain considered seeking an international bail-out, British ministers privately warned that the break-up of the euro, once almost unthinkable, is now increasingly plausible. Diplomats are preparing to help Britons...

and I'm not even Christian. In fact, it annoys me when people refuse to say it. And please say Happy Hanukkah to me, not Happy Time When You Light All Those Candles For Some Reason. Another one from Linda in Tennessee, found in her favorite bumper sticker...

Saturday Night Card Game (Jeremiah Wright still scares Democrats)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 26, 2011 22 Comments

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: As you know, I support Newt Gingrich. But you also know that I have a policy of uniting behind any Republican candidate who comes under false attack from Democrats and Obama...

NATO and/or U.S. forces apparently killed a couple dozen Pakistani soldiers at an outpost on the Afghan border. The details are murky at this point: The Guardian reports that coalition forces say they came under fire and returned fire. Pakistan has announced that it will cut...

The EU gets philosophical

Posted by Kathleen McCaffrey on November 26, 2011 5 Comments

(at their own peril.) I read an article in the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, that really got my eyes rolling. It is titled "Habermas, the Last European": Jürgen Habermas, 82, wants to get the word out. He's sitting on stage at the Goethe Institute in Paris. Next...

Since the new blog went live in mid-June, I've only banned about a dozen people (compared to 2700+ registered users). I've banned someone who gratuitously insulted Kathleen, someone who had the "N" word in the registered e-mail address (no need to wait for that person to...

Egyptian Imam The NY Times called “moderate” holds “kill all the Jews” mass rally

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 26, 2011 8 Comments

The NY Times has whitewashed the anti-Semitic aspects of the Arab Spring in Egypt since the beginning of the protests last January. NY Times' columnists like Roger Cohen have sought to glamorize and glorify the so-called "Arab Street" and Nicholas Kristof has waxed poetic about...
