Philadelphia Abortion Horror

While Americans have been asked to look at their wild rhetoric and gun culture in response to Jared Loughner’s shooting spree, the lack of regulation, moral callousness, and ideology of abortion has not been given much attention (particularly by the mainstream media) in response to the Philadelphia infanticide and abortion horror show.  Dr. Gosnell, engaged [...]

Gifford Shooting and Leftist Media Frenzy

Perhaps it’s not that surprising when a clearly schizophrenic gunman kills a bunch of people, including a Democratic Congresswoman, the “mainstream” leftist media immediately describes him as merely “alienated” and the result of an atmosphere of “bigotry.” Where are these powers of generalization when all-too-common Islamic terrorism occurs?  Or black on white crime?  Or immigration-fueled [...]

An Enemy of the People

Nobel-prize-winning genetics professor James Watson–as in Watson and Crick–speaks out about IQ and genetics and the like in a measured, scientific way. Professor promptly gets suspended from job, viz.: Earlier this evening, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Board of Trustees decided to suspend the administrative responsibilities of Chancellor James D. Watson, Ph.D., pending further deliberation [...]

Thomas Friedman: Partisan for an Illusion

In between his paeans to folks in Bangalore wearing Nike shoes and drinking Starbucks coffee while talking on their Samsung phones, Thomas Friedman also likes to write about foreign policy. He infamously declared every six months for three years running that the situation in Iraq was critical and, by implication, that if things did not [...]
