Commentary Magazine : Why Does the Muslim Brotherhood Attack Churches?

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:43:02 +0000

Because they are there.

Commentary Magazine : Turkish Protests Expose Obama's Hypocrisy

Sun, 2 Jun 2013 15:45:37 +0000

Obama's foreign policy is hypocritical? Knock me over with a feather.

Commentary Magazine : Government They Love Gores Media’s Ox

Tue, 14 May 2013 01:47:49 +0000

When the suck-up press is all that stands between your administration and two major, breaking scandals, it doesn't make much sense to piss off that same press.

Commentary Magazine : Margaret [Thatcher], Bill [Buckley], and Ron [Reagan]

Godwin's Law is amazingly powerful. WTF?

Commentary Magazine : BDS: Hate Speech, Not Free Speech

Wed, 6 Feb 2013 22:57:29 +0000

"Were Brooklyn College or any other state institution to hold a conference whose purpose was to oppose integration or the rights of African-Americans with academics who support the agenda of the Ku Klux Klan, there would be no question that this would be considered beyond the pale rather than free speech that deserved defense." KKK, nothing. Watch what would happen if a conservative group had a conference on Ann Coulter's latest book.

Commentary Magazine : The Shameful Attack on Israel from Amnesty International

Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:29:38 +0000

Another ritual flipping of the bird by the Obama administration. We need another Chuck Lichenstein at the U.N. The original had the right idea (from his NY Times obit): A furious Mr. Lichenstein replied that if member states felt ''they are not being treated with the hostly consideration that is their due,'' they should consider ''removing themselves and this organization from the soil of the United States.'' ''We will put no impediment in your way,'' he continued, ''The members of the U.S. mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset.''

Commentary Magazine : Are You There Obama? It’s Me, CNN

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 01:01:46 +0000

CNN is supposedly an objective news outlet. Commentary is an opinion journal. I'm embarrassed to say something so completely obvious, but you missed it.

Commentary Magazine : Spielberg’s Lincoln

Mon, 3 Dec 2012 20:29:54 +0000

I hear you, but it was an excellent movie, anyway.

Commentary Magazine : Has the West Given Up on Isolating Hamas?

Fri, 23 Nov 2012 21:42:31 +0000

Every discussion of Hamas MUST start with the proposition that the United States government through the Secretary of State has designated Hamas as a "foreign terrorist organization" since 1997. http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/other/des/123085.ht... And then, everyone who proposes to negotiate through Hamas needs to explain why we should negotiate with a foreign terrorist organization. And it's not just Europe. It's not just Fareed Zakaria. It's the Washington Jewish Week, which in one of its typical idiotic editorials yesterday, said "The reality is that Israel's partner for achieving an end to hostilities will have to be Hamas." http://washingtonjewishweek.com/main.asp?SectionI...

Commentary Magazine : Obama Abandons Independent Voters

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:55:02 +0000

"Vote, vote, vote." Three times. That's how Philadelphia gets over 100% participation.

Commentary Magazine : Brown-Warren “Civility” and the Law of Unintended Consequences

Wed, 3 Oct 2012 21:10:35 +0000

The disease is typically the result of a previous liberal cure.

Commentary Magazine : Pew: Jews Identifying Less With Democrats

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 22:27:20 +0000

In 2004, there were Jews who quietly voted for Bush and didn't admit it until after the election. I personally talked to a bunch of people like that. My guess is that the Jewish vote for Bush was noticeably higher than polls showed. Wouldn't be surprised to see that again this year, with quiet Jewish votes for Romney.

Commentary Magazine : Does Bill Clinton Want Obama to Win?

Wed, 5 Sep 2012 01:34:24 +0000

"So what’s the best possible scenario for Hillary Clinton? It might just be an Obama victory, and then a wide open race in 2016, cleared of serious primary opposition and without an incumbent to unseat." Doubtful. After 8 years of Obama, who's going to vote for another Democrat, even Hillary? She probably has a better chance if Romney wins, running against the disastrous Republican blah blah blah.

Commentary Magazine : How Are University Presidents be Judged?

Tue, 4 Sep 2012 01:30:00 +0000

To say nothing of Levin's involvement in the return of the Bass gift of $20 million in the 1990s.

Commentary Magazine : Likely Voters Are Awful at Ranking Presidents

Wed, 4 Jul 2012 18:44:11 +0000

American Presidential Idol?

Commentary Magazine : Nyet to Russian Proposal on Cyberwar

Tue, 5 Jun 2012 17:35:01 +0000

What makes you think they're "noble intentions"?

Commentary Magazine : The Falafel –Tikka Alliance

Tue, 5 Jun 2012 01:55:04 +0000

A friend of mine says, "A billion Indians and Israelis can't be stopped."

Commentary Magazine : On Assad, Obama is Repeating Bush 41's Saddam Mistake

Fri, 1 Jun 2012 17:32:30 +0000

Bush 41 said this in 1991, not 2001. http://www.nytimes.com/1991/02/16/world/war-gulf-... Counting this as a decade cuts my age in half, so I'm in favor of it.

Commentary Magazine : Minority Voter Registration Drops

Wed, 9 May 2012 00:26:12 +0000

However, registration of dead people as Democrats continues apace.

Commentary Magazine : Romney’s Sister Souljah Moment

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:00:27 +0000

It's Bush's fault. By existing, he encouraged denunciations from the Left that made Nugent's seem quite tame in comparison.
