You probably heard that The New York Times has decided to diversify the voices on its editorial page by adding Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol as a columnist. This has caused no end of consternation inside the liberal bubble because Kristol's hiring raises the number of conservative voices on that page to 1 1/2 -- […]

The results of tonights Iowa caucuses are in and the big winners are Sen. Barack Obama and former Gov. Mike Huckabee. My first thought is: Wait a minute! It's January 3rd for crying out loud. Sen. Hillary Clinton came in third. That's deep trouble for her. If she doesn't win New Hampshire now, then the […]

One of Sen. Hillary Clinton's selling points has been that she has experience in the White House. Let's ignore for the next several months that she never held a security clearance while she was First Lady and that she was never in the room when foreign policy decisions were being made. In the wake of […]

I was going to tear into this insane New York Times editorial, but thankfully discovered John Hinderaker over at Powerline had already done it for me. Titled "Looking At America," the editorial focuses on the Bush administration's efforts to prevent terrorist attacks over the last six years. Some would look at that record and see […]

There's a simple reason that I'm never going to wear my politics on my car in the form of ribbons, bumper stickers or anything else -- expressing views contrary to liberal orthodoxy is viewed by far too many on the left as a license to vandalize. Case in point: Marine Sgt. Mike McNulty's car was […]

A "pro-life" activist attacked an elderly pro-choice activist outside a crisis pregnancy center last week leaving the abortion rights supporter in serious condition. The pro-choicer suffered compression fractures in four vertebre, broke his right shoulder bone and two ribs. Police were called to the scene -- and let the assailant go free. When contacted for […]

In the wake of the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the one thing that isn't needed in that country is more chaos. As distasteful as the rule of Pervez Musharraf is to democracy, it would be far worse for that nuclear-armed nation to plunge into a maelstrom that could end with radical […]

I'll probably be writing about the place of religion in public life for the rest of mine. While I'm generally opposed to the efforts of the radical left to scrub the public square of all religious speech -- and even more opposed efforts that seek to single out Christianity for special cleansing -- there is […]

Columnist/author Mark Steyn has a post up on his legal troubles with Canada's thought-crimes court, more commonly known as the Human Rights Commission. The notion that a Norwegian imam can make a statement in Norway but if a Canadian magazine quotes that statement in Canada it's a "hate crime" should be deeply shaming to all […]
