Dean Esmay, whose blog I like and whose writings I respect, made a post that opened like this:
I’m publicly calling out Michelle Malkin, someone whom I often disagree with but usually respect. I hope she will think about it and respond thoughtfully and not angrily or flippantly.
… I’m making an open appeal to your conscience, [...]

In case you haven’t followed this, Finnish-Canadian university professor Ilkka Kokkarinen had his Sixteen Volts blog (on my blog roll) discovered by locals in the town where he lives in Canada. I had linked to his blog a couple of times and read it occasionally. He wrote some politically incorrect things. As a university professor, [...]

When those running the federal government won’t do their jobs, at some point state and local governments must start doing it for them:
CHARLOTTE — Police here operated for years under what amounts to a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward illegal immigrants.
As elsewhere in the United States, law enforcement officers did not check the immigration [...]

Headline news in papers around the country today is that “Spy Agencies Say Iraq War Hurting U.S. Terror Fight“. I suppose this is true when this subject is looked at for the here and now. But the real question is: What will be the Iraq war’s impact on terrorism a decade or two from now?
Many [...]

Sometimes I wonder if after winning the war against communism, one hundred years from now we will look like what the communists were after anyhow. Getting to this utopia, where some on the left want to take us, requires a lot of coercion. And coercion means that individual freedoms will gradually erode away. You see [...]

I have often criticized DailyKos. John Hawkins has an example of some recent silliness being written there. It is so dumb that I won’t even quote from the DailyKos post here.
With DailyKos being the most read political blog on the planet, what amazes me is the poor quality of the writing there. I take it [...]

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is looking to head a new non-aligned movement (translation: a club for anti-American authoritarian regimes) around the globe. Matt Hentoff reminds us of the real Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (via Besty’s Page):
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, has become an international celebrity, brandishing his nuclear program—and his yearning to wipe Israel off the face of [...]

Regarding Islam, Pope Benedict XVI quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologos, in a speech at Regensburg University:
“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
What exactly the pope had [...]

This successful woman has a goal:
DALLAS - Since long before leaving her native Iran as a teenager in 1984, Anousheh Ansari stared at the stars and dreamed of traveling closer to them. Now at age 40, after an improbable journey that’s included learning a new language, earning an engineering degree and starting a telecommunications company [...]

What comes to your attention in the picture above? I suggest two things. First former President Bill Clinton is in it. And second an attractive young woman is standing in front of him.
Is the woman doing anything inappropriate in your view? Well, this picture has caused a big fuss over at Ann Althouse’s blog and [...]

At Armed and Dangerous, a long established blog (since 2002), posts are infrequent. In fact the last post by the blog’s host was on June 12th. The interesting thing is that this last post just keeps getting more comments, up to 807 now. So the comment string for the last post has become a discussion [...]
