Phoniness In and Out of Uniform By Ray Robison

So Rush Limbaugh called troops who oppose the war in Iraq “phony soldiers”? That’s not what I heard, and I was listening to his program that day. To me it sounded like he was talking about seminar callers who pretend to be soldiers and people who barely served in the military and/or who slandered their fellow troops by creating phony accounts of their exploits in a scramble for the adoration of fringe left antiwar groups like Media Matters. Media Matters attempts to give loud voice to these phony soldiers in an effort to disgrace the military in order to turn the public against the war and consolidate Democratic political power.

The Groupthink Global Initiative By Alvaro Vargas Llosa

One would expect some diversity of opinion at a gathering of heads of government, CEOs and nonprofit organizations from different sides of the political spectrum. That was not the case at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting last week, devoted mostly to climate change. From the CEO of Duke Energy Corp. to the president of the Natural Resources Defense Council to Al Gore, everyone agreed on the need for draconian limits on carbon emissions worldwide. The proposals varied from taxes on a carbon “cap and trade” system, but the assumptions on which they were all basing them were the same — and they seem somewhat premature. No one was too concerned with the costs that a blanket limit on emissions worldwide could inflict on millions of desperate people trying to pull themselves out of poverty.

Killing White People – Where is the Proof? By Daniel Muniz

Considering the PC of our time, I don’t doubt that this former “professor” may have stood before an audience and spoke these very words. However:
1. Who wrote this article? D.W. doesn’t lend itself to much credibility. What is his/her authority? How can I verify this speech? Who else heard these remarks?
2. When and where did Kambon speak?

The above comment is a question asked by a reader about the article, Kill All White People – Professor’s Call to Genocide, written by DW. And that is a pretty good question because Kamau Kambon, who is black, made some rather outrageous statements at a prestigious university explaining why white people must be exterminated. But more to the point, hardly anybody has ever heard of this guy because the mainstream media ignored it.

The Heroic Richard Lindzen on Global Warming by Karen DeCoster

Richard Lindzen is one of the heroic challengers to the scientific establishment on the topic of global warming, yet you don’t often hear about him. He is an an atmospheric physicist and the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. When I picked up my October issue of Outside magazine, I was delighted to see the interview with him. Fortunately, the article is now online here.

Lindzen is a global warming doubter. As Outside notes, “With so many Americans searching for answers on climate change, an endowed MIT Professor with pithy quotes offers a level of assurance that few can rival.”

The Perils Of Fake History By Keith Windschuttle

The University of Colorado’s dismissal of Ward Churchill for academic fraud was not only a welcome decision in support of scholarly standards, it will also go some way towards discrediting one of the most depressing tendencies of our era, the politicisation of history.

In Australia, Churchill has long been frequently cited by historians of Aboriginal affairs. In their introduction to a special “genocide” edition of the academic journal Aboriginal History in 2001, the editors supported Churchill’s contentions that colonialism in America and the Pacific was worse than the Holocaust and that the British were the most murderous of Europe’s imperial powers.

Thirty-five years ago, when academic fashions were quite different than today, one of Churchill’s precursors in the history of American Indian affairs, Francis Prucha, put the traditional view of how scholars in the field should practice their trade:

Hillary Clinton Promises Amnesty, Tax Dollars For Illegals + The "Uniting Families" Scam By John Hawkins

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said yesterday as president she would push an immigration bill with a path to legalization that unites families.

“We’ve got to deal with immigration to be sure that we’re going to get back to doing what is right and smart in America,” she told members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute.

“Yes, we need to strengthen borders, everyone agrees with that,” the New York Democrat said. “We have to, though, remain faithful to our condition as a beacon for people around the world seeking a better life.”

…Mrs. Clinton did not commit to passing immigration reform in her first term, a priority for the group, which works to educate new Hispanic leaders. She also did not directly answer all of the questions posed at the start of the forum, including how she would address anti-immigrant sentiment.

CNN Meteorologist: ‘Definitely Some Inaccuracies’ in Gore Film By Paul Detrick

CNN Meteorologist Rob Marciano clapped his hands and exclaimed, “Finally,” in response to a report that a British judge might ban the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” from UK schools because, according to “American Morning,” “it is politically biased and contains scientific inaccuracies.”

“There are definitely some inaccuracies,” Marciano added. “The biggest thing I have a problem with is this implication that Katrina was caused by global warming.”

Unindicted co-conspirators in terror funding case rebuke radio host By Robert Spencer

Undaunted by being identified as an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood and being named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding case, CAIR is at it again — and once again with no regard for whether or not the remarks are true.

“Muslim group rebukes radio host: WLW’s Cunningham not backing down,” from the Cincinnati Enquirer:

The Cincinnati office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Ohio chapter called Tuesday for WLW-AM (700) to reprimand talk show host Bill Cunningham for what they call anti-Islamic remarks he made on the air Monday.

“The great war of this generation’s time is the war against Islamic fascists,” Cunningham said. “… They do not live for life, they live for death. Only through death can they believe they can be with those 72 virgins in heaven and have sex with children for eternity, which is the goal of that religion.”

Peter Pace for president By Joseph Farah

Don’t you like a thoughtful straight shooter?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have as a choice for president in 2008 a seasoned military man who says what he believes?

Don’t you just have to love the candor and honesty of Gen. Peter Pace, the retiring chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

I can tell you he shook up Washington last week when he repeated his view that homosexual acts are immoral, are “counter to God’s law” and should not be condoned in the U.S. military.

“Bigot!” some spectators shouted at a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which, ostensibly, was considering the Pentagon’s 2008 war spending request.

It all came up when Sem Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said he found Pace’s previous remarks on the subject “very hurtful” and “very demoralizing” to homosexuals serving in the military. Harkin said he wanted to give Pace a chance to amend his remarks in light of his imminent retirement.

The good life in Germany does not include children. by Steven Ozment

A  saying from the German Middle Ages suggests that a couple who cannot have children may be more burdened than a couple who do have children.

Die Kinder machen Weh und Leid Zerstören offt der Elter Frewd, Kein Kindt/Kein Sorg/klag nit so sehr ob schon dein Weib nicht Kindbar wer. (Children bring grief and woe and often disturb parental peace: ‘no child, no worry.’ So do not complain so much just because your wife cannot bear a child.)

Historically, couples without children have, indeed, grieved. Although birth control has been practiced since antiquity, barren couples viewed themselves as truly cursed, like Hannah in the Bible (1 Sam. 1). Yet for almost a half-century a great many postwar European families have enthusiastically embraced either a “no-child” or a “no-more-than-one-child” family model.

The conservative establishment has blacked out Hirsi Ali by Lawrence Auster

The mystery deepens. Three days after a Dutch news source reported that Ayaan Hirsi Ali has returned to the Netherlands, because the Dutch government wouldn’t continue paying for her security in the U.S. and the U.S. government had declined to assume the responsibility, and I linked and discussed the story here, Jihad Watch still has no mention of it, either by her champion Robert Spencer or by her champion Hugh Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald, as I pointed out yesterday, wrote an impassioned defense of her, but it was posted at New English Review in the form of a comment replying to Rebecca Bynum’s blog entry, which in turn was based on my report. Why wouldn’t Fitzgerald write about this at his own main website, Jihad Watch? The clear implication is that Spencer won’t let him.

A correspondent suggested to me that because Ali in her Reason interview disagreed with Daniel Pipes by name, and Spencer is a friend of Pipes, Spencer has cut her off. But that seems impossible. For one thing, Spencer of course also disagrees with the Pipes position on moderate Islam, though he has never brought Pipes into the discussion by name. And Spencer, to repeat, has long been a booster of Ali’s. It seems impossible that he would treat Ali as persona non grata simply for politely saying that she disagrees with Pipes’s idea, as reported in Rod Dreher’s excerpt of the Reason interview:

Are Members of Congress Accountable for Anything? By Clarice Feldman

Are Congressmen above the law? The case of Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich against Congressman John Murtha (D-PA) tests this basic question.

Of course there are other reasons to ask the same question. In a year when Congressional committees see no limits to what they will subpoena from the executive branch or about what they will interrogate its officers and employees, they rushed to court to keep the Department of Justice from subpoenaing the records of a Congressman caught with tens of thousands of dollars in his freezer.

Open Letter to Fred Thompson By Quin Hillyer

You, sir, have a serious responsibility to fulfill. When there were a number of other conservatives considering whether they should try to fill the void in the Republican presidential field, you stepped forward and said you were the one. You said you had the fire in the belly. You sucked all the air out of the atmosphere on the right. In doing so, you pledged to run a different kind of campaign.

But if you are going to be the big man on the right, you can’t be lazy. Yet you have been so. You have a responsibility to bone up on basic local issues of national import. Any old moron should know, for instance, that you can’t go into Florida without having at least thought about what you would say if asked about Terri Schiavo or about the Everglades.

Soros-Funded Smear Effort Inspires Talk Radio’s Foes :: Radio Equalizer

In the wake of highly- publicized smear campaigns against Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, left- wing talk radio foes across the country have been inspired to mount their own campaigns against the medium.
Suddenly, the floodgates have opened, while somewhere out there a beaming George Soros must be feeling his money has been well- spent. Can they succeed in eliminating viewpoints contrary to their own?
While that isn’t yet clear, these self- appointed censors are certainly feeling emboldened.
Here’s a tally of the latest moves against talk radio (if you know of others, send an email to address at the bottom of this site, we will update the list later):

They Always Blame Reagan… By Paul Kengor

It has become a truism in liberal circles that Ronald Reagan brought us Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. The accusation could already be heard mere weeks after 9/11. Articles developing the “blowback” thesis metastasized around the Internet. Given the staying power of ideologically convenient misinformation, it is worth reviewing the facts of the Reagan administration’s support for the mujahedeen, the fighters who resisted the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and their link with today’s Islamic extremists.

The USSR, it will be recalled, invaded Afghanistan on Christmas Eve 1979. The Soviets proceeded to brutalize a country that, though still very poor, had made surprising progress since the 1950s. How would the United States respond?

When Islamists Get Caught By Steven Emerson

The Esam Omeish affair is the latest example of a “moderate,” “peaceful” American Muslim leader done in by his own words, caught on tape.

Omeish, the president of the Muslim American Society (MAS), was forced to resign last week from his recently-appointed position on Virginia Governor Tim Kaine’s immigration commission when videos featuring Omeish posted by Little Green Footballs and the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) were brought to the governor’s attention.

Kaine asked for Omeish’s resignation after observing one video featuring Omeish at a December 2000 rally praising Palestinians for “…you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”

Instead of owning up to his words, Omeish told reporters at a press conference Friday that he was taken out of context as part of a “smear campaign” based on”Islamophobia.”

CODEPINK antiwar protesters purple with rage to be banned from Canada By Judi McLeod

There was no welcome mat waiting n Canada for CODEPINK, the shrill arm of the latter day antiwar contingent, when they arrived for a visit yesterday, and it was all the fault of President George W. Bush.
…”CODEPINK and Global Exchange cofounder Medea Benjamin and retired US Army Colonel and diplomat Ann Wright were denied entry into Canada today (Wednesday, October 3, dandelionsalad.wordpress). 

“The two women were headed to Toronto to discuss peace and security issues at the invitation of the Toronto Stop the War Coalition.  At the Buffalo-Niagara Falls Bridge they were detained, questioned and denied entry.”

Richard Dawkins’s Selective Rationality By Arthur Waldron

I confess to being a bit puzzled by the current wave of attacks on religion. I am both a Ph.D. (with lots of science) and a regular church-goer, long under the impression that the alleged incompatibility of the two was a 19th century notion, associated with such organizations as The National Secular Society in England (to which Annie Besant devoted her estimable talents during the years before she helped found Theosophy), and perhaps best exemplified by vigorous period pieces, such as Andrew Dickson White’s massive two volumes, published in 1898, on The Warfare Between Science and Theology in Christendom. Over the last year or so, however, a powerful new wave of distinctly old-fashioned anti-religious campaigning has begun, with people like Christopher Hitchens and Professor Dawkins in the lead. I find myself asking why.

Burma: Why the West Will Do Nothing By David Warren

Looking, through the dusk screen of the media, at the events in Burma, one feels a cold and pointless rage. The vicious regime that has long enslaved that country is again winning a struggle in which they have all the weapons. With the “subtle, malign cunning” (I am quoting Kenneth Denby, writing bravely for the Times of London, from Rangoon) that is possible only to a cat with a cornered mouse, the regime has watched the nation’s Buddhist monks lead the people onto the streets. It allowed them nine days to vent their grievances, and is now cutting them down.

But the cutting down has been done with much greater efficiency than after the last demonstrations on this scale, that began August 8, 1988. Perhaps 3,000 were massacred in the course of snuffing out the flame of liberty on that occasion. In this latest reprisal of government against people, it seems only a few dozen have been killed — including the Japanese press photographer, Kenji Nagai, shot down in cold blood to send a message to the other foreign reporters.
