via Babylon & Beyond | Los Angeles Times:
Last week, a 75-year-old Saudi woman was sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in prison for receiving two unrelated men in her home.
It didn’t matter that they were only delivering bread, or that she is elderly and practically raised one of the men as her her son. […]
Listen to Craig Crawford making excuses for Obama on earmarks. Imus has none of it.
I still say that the definition of torture cannot possibly include anything that people are willing to endure in order to protest it. I posted an example before and pointed out that the guy in the video actually paid $800 to have it done and then laughed about it a few minutes later.
A quick YouTube search reveals that there is apparently a long line of leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, who are perfectly happy to be “tortured” on video to demonstrate how unacceptable waterboarding is supposed to be.
Yeah, letting terrorists out of jail early when you don’t even know the facts of the case is perfectly “reasonable.” Don’t worry. Jimmy Carter and a bunch of left-wing Congressmen who Hillary wants to curry favor with say it’s okay. That’s not improper political influence over the Justice Department.
Thanks, Eric Holder.
UPDATE: Okay, this is too […]
Joel Stein admits it. Well, they say that’s the first step to recovery, I guess:
But I’ve come to believe conservatives are right. They do love America more. Sure, we liberals claim that our love is deeper because we seek to improve the United States by pointing out its flaws. But calling your wife fat isn’t […]
Yes, yes, yes…it’s been like a year. I know. It just happens that my oldest is busily packing for a Boy Scout campout, the middle one is playing at a friend’s house and the youngest is happily playing in his crib after his nap. So I might have just a few minutes to type something.
First, […]
Michael Medved has a really good question for Christopher Hitchens:
Some 24 years ago Hitchens abandoned his British homeland and chose to make his life in the United States. This April, he proudly took the oath as a naturalized American citizen at the Jefferson Memorial. He has written movingly and persuasively of his love for his […]
Since it’s summer and there’s nothing but re-runs on I’ve been channel surfing more than usual. Last night I happened to catch a speech by Muslim dissident Irshad Manji on C-SPAN. What a gutsy broad! Ultimately, I think she’s a leftist with whom I would disagree on many things. Despite her […]
So Scooter Libby gets clemency, Mark Elrod calls the President “soft on crime,” and Kolby chimes in with the first comment, ignoring a few facts of his own.
I have no truck for Libby. He represented Marc Rich and famously congratulated the international tax fugitive upon receipt of a pardon from Bill Clinton — while […]
As quoted here:
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property-either as a child, a wife, or a concubine-must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. […]
