Daily Kos: Let's Burn All the Religious Documents in the World
As liberals tumble over each other extending apologies to Muslims for any American that would even whisper idly about burning a Koran, they should start apologizing for the Daily Kos. On Friday night came a plea from the atheist blogger "qinkilla" to burn all the religious texts, to keep people warm: I am fine with the Koran being burnt, but only if the Bible and the Torah and any other…
50th Anniversary This Weekend of the Seminal ‘Sharon Statement
Before this weekend ends, I thought it worth a reminder that this weekend marks the 50th anniversary of a key milestone in the creation of the modern conservative political movement – the “Sharon Statement.” On Friday, the Fund for American Studies and the Young America’s Foundation sponsored a “Tribute to Sharon: Celebrating 50 Years of Advancing Liberty” daytime conference followed by a dinner…
Amazing: AP Writers Obsess Over Negative Electoral Impact Of Upcoming
It seems reasonable from their coverage in anticipation of the Census Bureua's release of income and poverty statistics this week that Hope Yen and Liz Sidoti of the Associated Press have a roof over their heads and aren't particularly worried about where their next meal is coming from. If so, good for them; may those circumstances continue. What's remarkable, though, is how a government report…
NYT's Herbert: Obama and Dems Created Mess But GOP Would Be Worse
You can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting some pathetically liberal media member claiming that despite how bad things are now they'd get worse if Republicans won in November.Exhibit A: New York Times columnist Bob Herbert's article Saturday.In it, he somewhat honestly told his readers about the misshaps of the President he personally helped get elected.Fair enough, but the conclusion…
Michael Moore Touts Ground Zero Mosque, Suggests McDonald's Worse Than
Some think of September 11 as a date for solemn remembrance. Others see it as another occasion for idiocy. Take Michael Moore's 9/11 message: I am opposed to the building of the "mosque" two blocks from Ground Zero. I want it built on Ground Zero. He says it's because Islam was "stolen" from the real Muslims at the Twin Towers, and it should be given back on the same spot. But he's not finished:…
NYT's Blow Offers Fabulous Opinion on 9/11, Mosques and Koran Burning
New York Times columnist Charles Blow wrote a short piece on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 that should be must-reading for all Americans on both sides of the aisle.In fact, I'm sure liberal Times devotees will be just as shocked by "A Lesson From 9/11" as conservatives that take the three minutes necessary to get through it.After sharing his experience as a New Yorker who was in Manhattan that…
Never Forget - But Have We
Never forget. Those are the two most prevalent words uttered or typed on this tragically historic day. Never. Forget.For many, September 11, 2001, was a day that will forever be seared into the minds of those who were witness. On that day, the nation was awoken by a harsh reality that some people want nothing more than to destroy our freedom, our way of life. It was a day that 19 hijackers,…
Judith Miller Smacks Down Alan Colmes For Saying 9/11 Shouldn't Be Com
Alan Colmes on the ninth anniversary of 9/11 said America shouldn't commemorate these attacks every year, and was nicely smacked down by Judith Miller for his smarmy efforts.Discussing the anniversary coverage on "Fox News Watch," Colmes said, "Every 9/11 it's become like a national day of remembrance, which I understand from an emotional standpoint, but I wonder if it's such a good idea that…
ABC’s Richard Clarke Suggests Obama Inauguration Speech Helped Make
On Saturday’s Good Morning America on ABC, during a discussion of the Ground Zero mosque and the possibility of Koran burning in Florida by Pastor Terry Jones, after anchor Dan Harris brought up the naive liberal expectation that President Obama would be able to improve relations with the Muslim world because of his family connections to Islam and his inaugural speech reaching out to Muslims, ABC…
Slate Affiliate Equates Newt Gingrich With Koran Burner Jones
Imagine for a moment you were the editor of a magazine owned by the Washington Post and Newsweek. Would you a day before the ninth anniversary of 9/11 publish an article with the following headline:The Talibanization of AmericaViewed from Pakistan, the rise of U.S. Islamophobia looks depressingly familiar. Seems rather inflammatory hours before such a solemn day in America, don't you think?Yet,…
