The Left

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 […]

Examples detailed by Catherine Seipp and Peter Schweizer:

A “progressive” San Francisco bookstore with a “proud history of supporting banned books” refuses to carry The Force of Reason by Oriana Fallaci. Fallaci, an Italian journalist, was an “antifascist partisan during World War II.” So, she presumably knows a little something about the real, old-fashioned fascists […]

Or thereabouts.

I guess I’ll have to add this one to my “About” page [HT: Hot Air]:

Al Gore has made his sharpest attack yet on the George Bush presidency, describing the current US administration as “a renegade band of rightwing extremists.”

Come and join our renegade band! We’ll put out an album with cover […]

A double amputee and veteran of the war in Iraq is suing Michael Moore and Miramax for misusing a video clip of him in Farenheit 9/11:

“The work creates a substantially fictionalized and falsified implication as a wounded serviceman who was left behind when Plaintiff was not left behind but supported, financially and emotionally, […]

A little too ironic…

Okay, so Alanis Morissette doesn’t seem to know what irony means. Here’s a better example.

A guy who criticizes Harding University for its loose and long ago association with right wing undesirables also posts a link on his blog to a video.

The point of the video is to deny the plain […]

GKB has officially gone off the deep end. Per your request: Greg, you are a paranoid conspiracy freak.

Loose Change? Loose Screws is more like it:

“The only thing they (the filmmakers) seem to have gotten right about the Sept. 11 attacks is the date when they occurred,” says Debra Burlingame, whose brother […]

The Ninth Ciruit, the court responsible for criminalizing would-be-pledgers-of-allegiance in elementary schools across the Western United States, recently held that school systems may lawfully engage in viewpoint discrimination (PDF).

I waited to post this, because I was hoping to come across a newpaper article (for linking purposes) that clearly stated the facts in a complete […]

I remember election night 2000. I stayed up all night waiting to find out which man would be the next president and which party would control Congress. It took 36 days to fully materialize, but in the end, I was thrilled. The Republicans had both houses of Congress and the White […]

Not that it matters to the loonies of the world that refuse to let facts shape their emotions, “but recently declassified documents explicitly show that the Iraqi military had ordered a call for volunteers to carry out suicide attacks on American interests, six months before 9/11 and two years almost to the day prior […]
