The solution to the Arab/Israeli conflict.

  You didn’t hear it here first.  You’ve heard it a million times.  We all have.  We know it, but we very often act as if we don’t.       This image fits perfectly with my immediately previous post.

“And you wish to sing praises?”

      http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014...   To the extent that they’re simply watching, I don’t blame them.  I would watch, as well.  I also look at car wrecks on the freeway.  In fact, on two or three occasions, I’ve sat atop Mount Bental in the Golan Heights, looking down on the United Nations checkpoint and the [Read More...]

“If you want to prove you don’t hate gays, all you have to do is worship at their feet.”

      Wow.  Here’s an explosive blog entry.  And it’s not even mine:   http://themattwalshblog.com/2014/07/2...

    http://washingtonexaminer.com/dont-be...   I doubt that he’ll run.  But I wish he would.   (The Washington Examiner, by the way, is a front organization for Fox News, and Hugh Hewitt is a pen name for Sean Hannity.  Or something like that.  Anyway, I apparently take my marching orders from Sean Hannity and Fox.)   [Read More...]

Howard Zinn, “Agit Prof”

    In the wake of my recent comment about Dinish D’Souza’s film America, some of you have shown a bit of interest in the late leftist historian Howard Zinn.  Here, brought to my notice by Paul Peterson (no relation), is a balanced discussion of Zinn and his work:   http://www.newrepublic.com/article/11...   It’s from The [Read More...]
