Blair meets Pope, stokes conversion speculation :: Reuters

"Vatican City, June 23: British Prime Minister Tony Blair held private talks with Pope Benedict on Saturday, stoking speculation he might convert to Catholicism after he steps down next week.

Blair's gift to the Pope were original photographs of John Henry Newman, a 19th century Anglican leader who was one of Britain's most illustrious converts to Catholicism.
Blair, on the final leg of his farewell world tour, spoke privately with the Pope for 25 minutes in the pontiff's study and the talks were then enlarged to include Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, head of England's Roman Catholics. "

Infidel Bloggers Alliance: The Show That PBS Refused To Broadcast

"Dennis Wagner of the Arizona Republic broke the story on April 10, 2007 about PBS's censorship of the documentary, Islam vs. Islamists from its America at a Crossroads series which debuted this week.

The film's producers, Frank Gaffney, Alex Alexiev and the veteran filmmaker, Martyn Burke of ABG Films, Inc. have since presented in shocking detail their painful protracted experiences trying to navigate the censors at PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which funded the film with $675,000 of the taxpayers' monies but now has chosen to shelve it.

In just the last week of public debate, there has been a firestorm of outcry from the public who are demanding that oppressive methods of editorial content control by power brokers at PBS be investigated and the real story behind the shelving of Islam vs. Islamists be exposed."

Insight into the mind of an ordinary Hamas-lover :: Confessions of a Closet Republican

I think this recent post on Housewife4Palestine's "Peace for Palestine" blog speaks for itself. It demonstrates how totally skewed their thinking is, and it's obvious nothing will change that. Note the typical blaming of others, and the blatant lies they have so easily accepted as the Truth. Personally, I find the post rather sickening. And she's a representative voice of the ordinary Palestinian. There is just no reasoning with people so full of hatred. And not much hope for Peace in that region with people who feel that the violence of Hamas is totally justified.

Irshad Manji: Islam the problem

GROWING up in Vancouver, I attended an Islamic school every Saturday. There, I learned that Jews can't be trusted because they worship "moolah, not Allah", meaning money, not God. According to my teacher, every last Jew is consumed with business.

But looking around my neighbourhood, I noticed that most of the new business signs featured Asian languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi and plenty of Urdu. Not Hebrew, Urdu, which is spoken throughout Pakistan.

That reality check made me ask: What if my religious school isn't educating me? What if it's indoctrinating me?

Is there really such a person as Dinesh D'Souza? By Denis Schulz

He couldn’t stay up late enough to watch Masterpiece Theatre so what else was he likely to ask after watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi? If he had been watching Fantasia, the questions might have been different, more confusing, sort of like what a college student might pose after struggling through Dinesh D’Souza’s latest book: The Enemy Within.

What’s that—Fantasia, The Enemy Within…similar? G’wan! One is fantasmagorical; the other is—well, just a fantasy. But which is which? Are they at all similar? Do the rolling periods of Fantasia’s Deems Taylor match those of D’Souza? Do the crashing cymbals of Leopold Stokowski have the impact of an unchained Osama bin Laden? Does Mickey Mouse make a better Sorcerer’s Apprentice than D’Souza makes a lobbyist for traditional Islam? The Enemy Within could have been titled Waltz of the Flowers."

Lebanon, Gaza, the Broader Syro-Iranian Offensive By Walid Phares

In previous analyses I have argued that the Tehran-Damascus axis is involved in a regional campaign to seize as much physical terrain and score as many victories across the Middle East in order to consolidate their strategic posture before 2008; the year they believe Americans will limit – perhaps diminish — their moves because of the U.S. presidential campaign season.

Net neutrality overreach By Randolph J. May

The battle over "net neutrality" and "open access" — two catchy labels that, in reality, both mean traditional public utility regulation — is moving from the ground to the air. Until recently, net neutrality and open access advocates have focused on getting Congress and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt new government regulations that would prohibit wireline broadband Internet service providers, such as Verizon, Comcast or AT&T, from "discriminating" against unaffiliated content providers.

Having largely, but not completely, failed in their effort to straight-jacket the wireline companies, open access advocates now have targeted wireless broadband providers. This might seem illogical because competition in the wireless world generally is more intense than in the wireline marketplace, although in both environments, competition is now the rule.

Reform Skeptics By Daniel Muniz

The biggest reason why so many people are skeptical of immigration reform is because it has never worked.
We have been lied to and it is as simple as that. All that we have gotten in the past are empty promises from smiling politicians who assured us that this nation would establish secure borders that would put a screeching halt to illegal immigration while deporting the millions of violators who are already here. Unfortunately, all of those assurances have turned out to be nothing more than broken promises.

23 June 2007: Jamal MIFTAH, a Muslim who attended the Islamic Society of Tulsa, Oklahoma is now considered “public enemy number one” in the Tulsa Muslim community. His crime? He openly condemned the terrorist actions of Osama bin Laden and other Islamic terrorists in a letter to the editor (reprinted below) that was published in the Tulsa World daily newspaper on 29 October 2006. In his op-ed piece, MIFTAH urged Muslims to stop killing in the name of Islam, called bin Laden and other top Islamic terrorist cowards and stated that “some mosques and Islamic institutions in the U.S. and around the world have become tools in their hands and are used for collecting funds for their criminal acts.”

The Bush Administration's Outreach Program to Islamists By Douglas Farah

The New York Sun writes that the Bush administration is quietly laying the groundwork for reaching out to the Muslim Brotherhood. What it doesn't say is that the Muslim Brotherhood, through its chapter in the United States (CAIR, ISNA et al) have already launched one of the most successful outreach programs of any group in the country.

The U.S. government has
formally named these groups as part of the Muslim Brotherhood. They have met recently with senior leaders of the Pentagon, DHS, DOD and have been in the White House across two administrations.

Only the Justice Department's naming of the groups as unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land case kept these same groups from being the stars at an ill-conceived "outreach" event hosted by AG Alberto Gonzalez.

Good News about CAIR By Senator Fred Thompson

I've talked before about the Council on American-Islamic Relations -- most recently because it filed that lawsuit against Americans who reported suspicious behavior by Muslims on a U.S. Airways flight. Better known just as CAIR, the lobbying group has come under a lot of scrutiny lately for its connections to terror-supporting groups. This time, though, The Washington Times has uncovered some very good news about the group.

For years, CAIR has claimed to represent millions of American Muslims. In fact, they claim to represent more Muslim in American than ... there are in America. This has alarmed Americans in general as the group often seems to be more aligned with our enemies than us -- which isn't surprising as it spun off from a group funded by Hamas. As you know, Hamas has been waging a terrorist war against Israel and calls for its total destruction. It also promises to see America destroyed. Nowadays, Hamas is busy murdering its Palestinian political rivals.

Bush and Rove squandered the Reagan/ Gingrich Majority by Marc Rotterman

Back in the day when W’s poll numbers were through the roof, there was much talk of a Republican realignment by the president’s chief political adviser and confidant, Karl Rove.

Rove waxed poetic about creating a lasting Republican majority. During those heady times, Rove told anyone within earshot that his role model in this endeavor was the legendary political boss Mark Hanna, who was primarily responsible for the political career of William McKinley.

Hanna helped elect McKinley to the governor's mansion in Ohio and then to the Presidency in 1896.

During the race of 1896, it is said Hanna ran a hardball campaign for his principal McKinley and for the time, raised an unprecedented amount of money.

When Bush was re-elected, Bush hailed Rove as the "the architect"; Rove was in effect "Hanna" reborn.

NBC's Body Armor Embarrassment by Tom Donnelly

ONE OF THE RECURRING themes of press coverage of the Long War, and particularly the conflict in Iraq, is that soldiers are victims. According to this trope, soldiers and Marines are sacrificing themselves in a cause already lost, by an administration that cares little for the men and women in uniform. The proof of this last proposition was demonstrated to the media's satisfaction long ago, and confirmed for them in former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's proclamation that we went to war with the force we had rather than the one we'd liked to have.

How the West Really Lost God By Mary Eberstadt

For well over a century now, the idea that something about modernity will ultimately cause religion to wither away has been practically axiomatic among modern, sophisticated Westerners.1 Known in philosophy as Friedrich Nietzsche's famous story of the madman who runs into the marketplace declaring that "Gott ist tot," and in sociology as the "secularization thesis," it is an idea that many urbane men and women no longer even think to question, so self-evident does it appear.2 As people become more educated and more prosperous, the secularist story line goes, they find themselves both more skeptical of religion's premises and less needful of its ostensible consolations.3 Hence, somewhere in the long run -- perhaps even the very long run; Nietzsche himself predicted it would take "hundreds and hundreds" of years for the "news" to reach everyone -- religion, or more specifically the Christianity so long dominant on the Continent, will die out.

A mockery built on the trifecta-fiction that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is an avatar of peace, that his Fatah faction has aligned with civilization, and that the Palestinian people — the ones who freely chose to install Hamas as their parliamentary majority and who have trademarked “Intifada” as an instrument of statecraft — are somehow worth prostituting ourselves over.

All the idea accomplished, however was to guarantee a good living for Charles Berlitz and a horde of other professional linguists and translators down through the centuries.

Rousseau set the tone of the premise of mankind basically being good but corrupted by his environment, that we have come to know so well in Left Liberal thinking. In Rousseau's vision the world's trouble is caused by Reason and its fruits, knowledge and science. He's often quoted as a philosopher of the Enlightenment, but it is quite clear he rebelled against all the tenets of individual Liberalism, Reason, secularism and limited government.

In Rousseau we find the very source of our trouble with Postmodernism, but also the answer to many a vexed question:

As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning.
The environmentalists ask for immediate political action because they do not believe in the long-term positive impact of economic growth and ignore both the technological progress that future generations will undoubtedly enjoy, and the proven fact that the higher the wealth of society, the higher is the quality of the environment. They are Malthusian pessimists.

The scientists should help us and take into consideration the political effects of their scientific opinions. They have an obligation to declare their political and value assumptions and how much they have affected their selection and interpretation of scientific evidence.

President Klaus's remarks are not getting much play in the United States. Only someone who grew up under Communism would dare to speak so boldly. "

How Liberal Dems, Major Media Perpetuate A Cycle Of Negativity :: Investor's Business Daily

"Last fall, when the jobless rate hit a five-year low of 4.4%, Vice President Cheney was asked by ABC's George Stephanopolous why the administration didn't get more credit for it. 'Well,' said Cheney, 'you guys don't help.'

So much for the understatement of 2006. Cheney, of course, was referring to the now-obvious fact that even when there's good news about the economy, it's played down — or turned upside down — by the mainstream media.

Coverage of that unemployment report, coming just before the congressional elections, was just one of many cases in point, as the Media Research Center (MRC) pointed out at the time.

How White-Washed Textbooks Alter American History By Tom McLaughlin

"How baby boomers remember the sixties often determines how they view the world today. If they’re nostalgic over the fortieth anniversary of the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco’s Haight/Ashbury district and believe that changes in American culture resulting from the sixties have been largely positive, they probably consider themselves liberal and vote Democrat. If they have a generally negative view of those changes, they probably consider themselves conservative and vote Republican. When teaching the sixties in my 20th-century US History course, I’ve often started with this observation."

Iran on a Collision Course By James Lewis

"Unless something unexpected happens, Iran and the West are on a collision course. The key to the coming confrontation is a basic diplomatic fact. Israel has a widely recognized casus belli against Iran, having been threatened with national destruction by Ahmadi-Nejad and his boss numerous times. The conflict is therefore likely to start with an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities and their defenses.

The United States is less directly threatened, but if Israel attacks key nuclear targets in Iran, counter-attacking Iranian planes and missiles must necessarily pass over the surrounding American forces in the Gulf, in order to reach Israel. US fleet and air elements will be brought in to defend the Strait of Hormuz from a likely Iranian assault and the air space of surrounding countries. "

Einstein's Revolution, and Counterrevolution By Tom Bethell

"With an hour's wait at Penn Station, I picked up a copy of Walter Isaacson's new Einstein biography Einstein: His Life and Universe (Simon & Schuster, 675 pages, $32), turned to the index, and started to read a particular passage. I was impressed. I had feared that this would be one more exercise in hagiography, describing Einstein's askew love life, his left-wing politics, his first wife who didn't get credit for her contributions to relativity, and his thoughts about God, all decked out with garlands to the great man's genius and his epic contributions to science. But no. It was more than that. Here is what I read, on page 318:

... after he finished his theory of general relativity, [Einstein] concluded that the gravitational potentials in that theory characterized the physical qualities of empty space and served as a medium that could transmit disturbances. He began referring to this as a new way to conceive of an ether. 'I agree with you that the general relativity theory admits of an ether hypothesis,' he wrote Lorentz in 1916."

The Great Depression Revisited by Thomas Brewton

Labor unions are icons of the liberal-Progressives, who apotheosized them in the New Deal during the Great Depression. In addition to the primary status of unions in the Marxian labor theory of value, labor unions have been unfailing vote-getting allies of the Democratic Party.

The 1935 Wagner Labor Act, together with subsequent administrative rules and judicial decisions, made unions immune to anti-trust prosecution and enabled them to engage in criminal intimidation of employers and non-union employees with little fear of retaliation. As a consequence, union labor costs remained at levels too high for profitable production at full-employment levels.

Union Dues and Secret Ballots By Fred Thompson

"There was a time in America when local governments and employers could take advantage of powerless workers. Unions formed as a result. Nowadays, government generally sides with, instead of against, unions. The single biggest advantage unions have, of course, is collective bargaining rights – the right to negotiate for whole groups of employees.

Even with these advantages, however, unions have been losing membership in every sector but government -- which is another story. In the last 25 or so years, private sector union membership has dropped from about 19 percent to under 8 percent today. Most decertification votes, giving workers the chance to end union representation, go against the unions. "

A Bipartisan Compromise or a Conservative Sellout? By Vasko Kohlmayer

Leaving aside the implied notion that bipartisan compromises are somehow inherently good, the above is a completely inaccurate assessment of this piece of legislation.

If the bill indeed represents a compromise what is there in it for conservatives? In the open borders and across-the-board amnesty liberals have been handed everything they have ever wanted in connection with immigration. Conservatives, on the other hand, have been given... er... er... er...

I got one letter from a Brit extolling the virtues of his country saying that they didn't 'need to be British.' He said that it was fully accepted that being British was a meaningless construct and they didn't need to be 'British' there like we need to be 'American' here. He was proud that they were somehow past all that 'stuff and nonsense.'

Death to Rushdie, Again by Robert Spencer

"The more things change, the more they stay the same: as the clamor for Salman Rushdie’s death grows in the Islamic world, it is hard to avoid a sense of déjà vu. For many, the Rushdie Affair of 1989, when Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini first issued the now-notorious fatwa calling for Rushdie to be murdered, was their introduction to the Islamic fanaticism that now dominates the daily headlines. But now that Rushdie appears in public with some frequency and doesn’t seem concerned about the death fatwa (even though it was reaffirmed by the Ayatollah Khamenei in 2005), the reaction in the Islamic world to his being named a Knight Bachelor by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II for “services to literature” may seem incongruous to Westerners. Could Muslims possibly still be angry with Salman Rushdie, after all these years? The answer that is coming from Islamic countries this week is an emphatic yes. "

Frum gums up the immigration issue--again by Lawrence Auster

I really have no desire to attack David Frum, and I wish this hadn't happened, but it has. It started with David Frum writing a piece in the June 25 National Review, "How I Rethought Immigration," a title that makes it sound as though the immigration issue had never been re-thought until Frum came along, about his evolving views on immigration over the decades, from empty-headed open-borders advocate in the late 1980s when he was in law school to the sage critic he is today. According to Frum, this change had largely been accomplished as early as 1990 (!!!!) when he worked at the Wall Street Journal under the fanatical open-borders ideologue Robert Bartley, and Frum gamely tried to introduce some sanity into that Kremlin of open-borderism. Frum then proceeds to his familiar denunciations of the paleo right for supposedly poisoning the immigration issue in the 1990s and so preventing the true immigration reformers, namely Frum himself (!!!!), from making headway with it--surely one of the most self-serving motifs in the history of political journalism. (Frum's fake take on the evolution of the issue has also served as a template for the far worse Jonah Goldberg to write the same kind of article himself in February 2002, "Ideologues Have Hijacked an Important Debate.")

The spectre of Islam by Stefcho

People are not rational; so we should stop treating them as such.

A rational woman would reject the palpable pulse of revulsion towards non-Muslims which runs through the Qur’an, the hadith and other Islamic texts. And a rational man would confront a religion which speaks of, and glorifies, intolerance; a faith which stalks with hatred anything non-conformant with its own brutal and uncompromising beliefs.

Again and again, we have proven the logic, furnished the evidence and won the argument that Islam is a divisive, supremacist and immoral religion. But to what avail? The arguments fall flat, the media label us ‘racists’ or ‘Islamaphobes’ and our governments go on appeasing, funding and promoting the Islamization of their our own states.

Let Beasts Devour Beasts By NIBRAS KAZIMI

I hereby declare victory. I believe the Sunni insurgency in Iraq has collapsed, and all the casualty tallies that the insurgents are desperately trying to ratchet-up won't convince me otherwise. The odor of defeat hangs heavily around the "dead-enders" — a term I'd like to bring back into vogue because it's an apt description for those gangs that remain to be hunted down, and who will be responsible for the baseline violence we will continue to see there, but at levels Iraqis can live with and still prosper.

Three months ago, I wrote a column on these pages, "Jihadist Meltdown." In it, I envisioned the endgame of the insurgency — the prospect of jihadists turning on jihadists. Over the last two weeks, the Sunni strongholds of western Baghdad have witnessed street battles between the two main insurgent factions responsible for the bulk of violence in Iraq: Al Qaeda's Islamic State of Iraq and the Islamic Army.

Our Enemies’ Words by Jed Babbin

None of us is his equal, but we all must try to understand the lessons he taught, and to apply them as well as we can.

Americans are great talkers, but too often we don’t listen very well. And what we do hear, we often mistake because we tend to see our adversaries in the same terms we see ourselves. When some dictator threatens to end our way of life, to destroy our economy or end our influence over his nation we characteristically either ignore him or rationalize his statements in our own context rather than judging them in his. He can’t be evil, can he? He and his people will only act in their enlightened self interest, won’t they? But he can be, and they may not.

I first met Professor Ahmed shortly after Sept. 11. He, his friends and I broke bread several times and discussed the condition of Islam and the West. He graciously agreed to share a stage with me at the National Press Club to debate with me the merits of my book, "The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of Civilization?"

For Unions, Coercion Over Persuasion By George Will

Democracy is rule by persuasion, but the unpersuasive often try to coerce the unpersuaded. Recent days have provided two illustrations of this tendency, both of them pertaining to labor unions, whose decades of declining membership testify to their waning power to persuade workers that unions add more value to workers' lives than they subtract.

Failing unions, like failing industries, turn to government for protection in the form of coercion. Failing industries have traditionally sought corporate welfare in the form of tariffs (coercion of consumers). Unions seek laws to confer what their persuasiveness cannot convince people to consent to.

On the Impact of Christianity By Fjordman

Quite a few individuals among the anti-Western crowd hate Christianity passionately. You have to be an imbecile to believe that Christianity and Islam are “almost identical,” meaning “just as bad.” There’s a world of difference between the religious founders and their followers. Yes, it’s true that the Church has at times suppressed dissenters, including scientists. This is common knowledge. But to present Christianity as exclusively anti-science is factually wrong. Christianity’s concept of a rational Creator whose logic could be uncovered and predicted provided a crucial basis for the Scientific Revolution in Europe, although some would claim to also see the hand of Roman engineering skills combined with Greek logic in the Industrial Revolution. Still, even though most of the criticism dished out against Christianity is wrong, that doesn’t mean that no just criticism can be given. Christianity has many great qualities, some of them under-appreciated today, but it does contain some ideas that can be potentially problematic when confronted with Islam.

"In the last half of the 20th Century, two men profoundly influenced the moral climate of America. Both are octogenarians now, living out the last days of their very different dreams. One was born in Al Capone’s Chicago in 1926. The other was born a few years earlier, in 1918, on a dairy farm near Charlotte, North Carolina. One was named Hugh Marston Hefner, the other William Franklin Graham, Jr.

Playboy magazine founder and publisher Hugh Hefner and Christian evangelist Billy Graham have pursued destinies as diametrically opposite of each other as is possible. Both men have produced offspring who have chosen to follow in the footsteps of their fathers. After a prodigal early life, Graham’s son, Franklin, has for many years been a committed Christian evangelist who has now taken the reins of his father’s ministry. Christie, Hefner’s daughter from a long-ago failed marriage, has been running her father’s hedonist empire at Playboy for several years. "

Author and pastor sounds warning about 'emergent church' Allie Martin

"Pastor and author John MacArthur says evangelical churches must be on guard against post-modernism and the emerging church. His new book says many church-going Christians are caught in a crossfire of teaching and writing that promotes alternative Christian histories and a push to eliminate absolute truth."

There were satellite link-ups to the Kazakh convention, where representatives of 40 nations were present. "

Amnesty: Heralding the End of US Representative Democracy? By Sher Zieve

"Amnesty for illegal aliens has been resurrected by globalists President Bush and members of the US Senate. Despite the public outrage—from both Conservatives and Democrats—emanating from the US’ voting electorate against the Amnesty for illegals, the President of the USA has urged and is urging illegal Hispanics to call US Senators and tell them to vote for open borders and his ultimate Amnesty bill. A special Spanish language toll-free number has even been set up for the illegals to call, in order to combat the sentiments of legal US citizens. President Bush and US Senators have begun to move, in earnest, against we-the-people. The legal residents and voters of the United States of America have now been told, in no uncertain terms, that both the Legislative and Executive branches of government are working against them. We are also being told that we had better shut up or factions from both sides of the political aisle will start vilification campaigns against us—that’s against we-the-American-people, folks. Amongst others, Republican Senators Trent Lott and Lindsey Graham have already started their character smears of the American people. And there are just too many Democrat leaders to list."

Playing With Words is Serious Business By George de Poor Handlery |

"The emasculation of the meaning of concepts is thriving in democracies as well as in dictatorships, and fact-denying and reality-obscuring tags can do more than to hide snake medicine in opaque bottles.

One of my better lectures used to “explain” Hitler’s success by putting the name of his party as a programmatic slogan under the microscope. Being young, I regarded the label as genial. However, due to the crash in total defeat, the trick appeared to be a spent PR stunt. Innocently, I also thought that getting away with the miracle cure was an indicator of German naiveté. It could only work in a crisis following upon a stable authoritarian system that got subjected to pastel-toned partial recall. The craving for security and for protection by a leader assuming “responsibility” preconditioned contemporaries to lick up the concoction spilled into their trough as though it was spilled milk and they were cats. Before we get to the present, you want to know about the ingredients of the potion that sold like bananas in a chimp-cage. "

Are We Under Attack? By Carolyn Hileman

"I submit to you that we are in fact under attack and it is not necessarily by the people you may be thinking of right now. We are under attack by the people on the inside and they are being given a free ride, but after tonight that ride is over. I am not talking about the Senators or the President for that matter although they have either been willing dupes or are being paid off.

How many of you remember shortly after 9/11 it became the thing to do to buck the president and Homeland security? Libraries refused to cooperate claiming privacy issues and other places openly refused to obey the law. It became very fashionable to thumb your nose at the administration and anyone one else concerned about our open borders. Well that type of attitude not only continued it thrived, anything and everything that was done to protect us as a nation became a joke as the Democrats managed to get just about every security measure thrown out as a violation of privacy."

Flashback: Immigration fraud and the Presidency James Lewis

"Do you remember the name Doris Meissner? Ms. Meissner was Bill and Hillary Clinton's Administrator of the INS (Immigration & Naturalization Service). Before Clinton ran for his second term in 1996, Meissner ensured that hundreds of thousands of illegals were fraudulently legalized, just in time to vote for the Clintons.

Among those intimately involved with this massive Democrat immigration fraud were Rahm Emanuel, the architect of the 2006 Democrat Congressional takeover, and Al Gore, currently playing Planetary Prophet of Doom to loud acclaim around the world. Hillary must have known all about the immigration scam, since the Clintons were running for re-election. Oh, and by the way, Mohammed Atta was found and released twice by the INS for immigration violations. Before he knocked down the Twin Towers and killed 3,000 Americans. "

Constitutional Suicide by Mark Silverberg

"Last week, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in the case of al-Marri vs. Wright that a terrorist lawfully in the U.S. cannot be detained as an enemy combatant without a trial if he never fought against U.S. forces on a foreign battlefield or if he was not sent to the U.S. by the government of a nation with whom we are at war. Since al Qaeda is a transnational organization responsible to no government, Ali al-Marri, a resident alien and an al Qaeda sleeper agent operating in the U.S. could not be held as an enemy combatant in this country even though he was 'engaged in conduct that constituted hostile and war-like acts including conduct in preparation for acts of international terrorism.'"

Socialists in Democrat Clothing by Lance Fairchok

"'The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.' - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948.

Seven years into the twenty-first century, Mr. Thomas’ prediction is coming close to fruition; the presidential elections of 2008 may well validate his faith in “liberalism” and its Trojan horse delivery of Socialism. After decades of slow yet persistent desensitization to Socialism in our schools, in our media and in government policy, Americans have become complacent to what the ramifications of Socialism would be upon our prosperity, our individual freedoms and our national identity. Political candidates espouse openly socialist policies without eliciting the slightest outrage or significant comment, so successfully have the philosophies of Marx and Lenin permeated the national debate."

Immigration and Amnesty by John Ellis

"In all of the national debate over the immigration bill, no word has created more heat than “amnesty”. Both side obsess over it. One insists that the bill backed by the President and a majority of congressional Democrats is above all an “amnesty” bill, the other that—in the words of a recent Wall Street Journal editorial—this is the “amnesty” canard. Both sides thus seem to agree that the amnesty charge is, if true, lethal. But in thinking this both sides are hopelessly wrong, and so misconceive the real case against the bill. "

Confusion, Mother of all Vices By Alexandre Parvulescu

"Every era possesses its own particular potential, its own objective to achieve and its own challenges. A great particularity of ours is that we have never before systematically put in question absolutely everything expressed or practiced in the past. An absolute downpour of suspicion, contestation and denigration has descended upon all that was the cement of past civilizations, of our societies, of our relations one with the other. This tendency to put in question the slightest moral and political principle has, until now, led to no coherent, concrete or constructive results. On the contrary, the confusion that comes of this seems only to produce again and ever more confusion. Instead of seeing a warning or lesson, it appears that these professional detractors derive only a morbid supplementary motivation to sink themselves deeper."

Is the Amnesty Bill the Aztlan Implementation Act? By Jack Ward

The Retreat of the West? By Jonathan D. Strong

"International affairs is a zero sum game. When power is withdrawn by one state, another state or group will fill that power vacuum. History has proven this in the past. When British hegemony declined, American power filled that gap in the western world. Communism similarly filled power vacuums left after America's withdrawal from Vietnam and President Jimmy Carter's defense spending cuts, and diminished American influence in Africa, South America, and Asia."

The Fruits of Multiculturalism By Hal G.P. Colebatch

"It was a hallmark of the Enlightenment civilization of the West that warring countries still shared scientific knowledge, and held scholarship above politics. During the Napoleonic Wars the British and French in the South Seas would often set the war aside and help one another's research ships, providing they proved their scientific credentials.

The community of scholarship was thought to transcend not only national but also religious boundaries, as, one way or another, it had been thought of since the foundation of universities in early medieval times. In 1788, when Catholic priests were banned in England, the astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi, not merely a Catholic priest but a Professor of Dogmatic Theology in Rome, traveled to England to work with fellow astronomer Nevil Maskelyne, a Protestant minister."

Renewable Energy? By William Tucker

"Republicans and Democrats are currently at loggerheads in the Senate over a bill to require the nation's utilities to draw a fixed percentage of their electricity from so-called 'renewable energy.'

The Democratic bill, sponsored by Democratic Energy Committee Chairman Dave Bingaman, of New Mexico, would have utilities get 15 percent of their electricity from wind, solar and other 'renewable' sources by 2020. This version seems to be one vote short of beating a promised Republican filibuster. "

The Duke Case's Unfinished Business By Thomas Sowell

Not only is Nifong still liable to civil lawsuits from the three young men whose lives he tried to ruin, and criminal prosecution for his obstruction of justice and making false statements to a judge, there are many other people who disgraced themselves in hyping a lynch mob atmosphere when this case first broke last year."

Hypocrisy That Undermines Civilization By Victor Davis Hanson

"There is only a thin veneer that separates civilization from man's innate barbarity. Some 2,500 years ago the historian Thucydides once warned us about the irony of revolutionaries and insurrectionists destroying this fragile patina of culture, as if they themselves might be exempt from ever wanting it back again.

Yet no sooner, he warned, have such outsiders torn down the system of law than they are in need of it themselves when they assume power and the responsibility of governance. Even the worst terrorist apparently wants his wife and kids to be safe--and able to drink clean water when turning on the faucet. The trick apparently is to blow up the neighborhood's electric pylon while still finding enough light and power to assemble an IED device."

The Roman Origins of Constitutional Government By Luke Sheahan

"On the left side of the back of the one dollar bill is inscribed a circle with a pyramid inside. The pyramid is composed of thirteen tiers representing the thirteen original colonies of the United States. The banner below the pyramid reads Novus Ordo Seclorum, the New Order of the Ages. Above the pyramid are two Latin words, Annuit Coeptis, a tribute to the role of Providence in America’s founding and an indication that American has won its blessing.

On the base of the pyramid is inscribed the Roman numerals for 1776, the year of the Declaration of Independence and the genesis of the sovereignty of the United States. The Latin inscriptions and mottos signify that the New Republic was based upon the foundation laid down by Rome. "

Muslim Immigration: A Winning or Losing Proposition for America? By Glen Reinsford

If you are a sane person, then you would naturally decline the offer, regardless of the number of empty chambers. Even a one in a hundred chance of doing harm is hardly a reason, in and of itself, for taking an unnecessary risk."

Talking with the Taliban? By Michael Fumento

It's time to negotiate with the Taliban says Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf. Canada is one of our top Afghanistan allies, so it's meaningful that almost two-thirds of them surveyed in late May think we should parlay with the Taliban. Recently Kurt Beck, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, which shares power in Germany's coalition government, called for talks with "moderate Taliban." Now, in apparent reaction to a perceived high number of civilian deaths caused by the Taliban strategy of hiding among them, the call has come from the Afghan senate for an immediate ceasefire and talks followed by withdrawal of NATO forces.

All of which shows utter ignorance of Taliban beliefs and history.

Open Letter to President Bush on Comprehensive Immigration Reform By John W. Lillpop

Reports indicate that your administration has agreed to an "up front infusion" of $4.4 billion toward border security as a concession to win senate approval of S. 1348.

With all due respect, Mr. President, one wonders why this action was not taken a long time ago?

Indeed, if adding $4.4 billion is in the national interest and vital for homeland security today, why was this step not initiated on September 12, 2001?

The American people, including this proud American, remain very skeptical and angry over attempts at "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" which we see as amnesty.
