One of the most shameless frauds in academia today is the claim that a new "McCarthyism" is threatening academic freedom. According to this new cry of victimhood, conservative groups are "drawing up enemy lists" of professors who are opposed to the current war against...
Because of the September 11 terrorist attacks, December 7, 2001, the 60th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, became especially significant. Many children never bothered to ask their parents and grandparents, "Where were you on December 7, 1941?" -- the date that will "live...
It is time that the United States recognize the true nature of Yasser Arafat and his regime. The PLO has been engaged in a terror campaign against Israel for decades, and today supports fanatical suicide bombers, who deliberately target and murder innocent civilians....
Why do they hate us so? And what can we do to understand their point of view? These seem to be the big questions for a large segment of the intelligentsia, whether in the media or academia, as well as various politicians and activists. Many of the very people who ask...
Oh, those Clintons! On September 17, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) appeared on "Dateline NBC." Where, Dateline asked, was Chelsea on that fateful day? Senator Clinton told NBC's Jane Pauley: "She'd gone on what she thought would be a great jog. She was...
"Islam is Peace." So explained President Bush to the American public soon after the terrorist attacks of September 11. Since then, the President has gone out of his way to assure Americans that they have nothing to fear from the religion of Islam. "These acts of...
Care to revisit, post-Sept. 11, the issue of racial profiling? "Civil rights activist" Al Sharpton, during the Harlem presidential debate between Al Gore and Bill Bradley, asked the first question. "Many in our community have to live in fear of both the cops and the...
Thanks to a patriotic New York City cop, this flag will serve as a constant reminder to the Stennis’ warriors of the justness of our cause: “‘Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." So declared Winston Churchill after an early allied victory in World War II. It was a reminder to his nation that the war would require many more years and a...
Hold the Red Cross accountable! The headlines seemed unmerciful. Red Cross CEO Bernadine Healy, on the job only two years, suddenly announced her retirement. According to the Los Angeles Times, "Healy resigned ... saying she had been forced out by her board over...
I live up a narrow, one-lane private road that winds up a steep, wooded canyon in Northern California. A couple years ago, during the El Nino winter that dropped record rains here, a side of the canyon collapsed and a massive mudslide closed the road. Heading uphill...
Like one of those football mascots -- a poor, sweaty guy dressed up in a giant fuzzy costume of a shark or an eagle (or whatever his team's symbol is) -- Paul Krugman is dancing and clowning around in the field and among the fans trying to whip up martial enthusiasm,...
Of the five countries described below, can you identify the one(s) excluded from the US-led coalition in the war on terrorism? Country A is free and democratic, a steadfast ally of the United States. Its citizens know what it means to be victimized by terrorism, and...
The events of September 11 have been the primary subject of discussion on college campuses across America. A patriotic fervor has been revived, with flags popping up in virtually every yard and on every car. However, after reading the editorials that appeared in last...
Some of the intelligentsia are yelling louder than ever that they are being silenced. Professors, journalists and others who have made grossly offensive remarks in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attack are shocked that other Americans are criticizing them...
On September 11th, the Environmental News Service, {http://enn.com} one of the main sources of every bogus environmental claim, shed big crocodile tears about the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. The event evoked a sudden realization by Jerry Kay, ENN's...
America now joins ancient Greece and Rome as civilized peoples threatened not by competitors over territory or trade, but by barbarians whose only goal is our destruction. But rather than compare our situation to their unfortunate outcomes, I would like to draw a...
Dear Pacifists, I address you in the plural as protocol requires, since all humane action is collective. Listen carefully: you are being seriously deluded. The one who bids for your hero-worship is in fact your worst enemy. You say you love everyone, that the world...
Of the five countries described below, can you identify the one(s) excluded from the US-led coalition in the war on terrorism? Country A is free and democratic, a steadfast ally of the United States. Its citizens know what it means to be victimized by terrorism, and...
Since Reuters forbids their journalists to use "terrorist" in their reports (couldn't we construe the attackers as simply irate airline customers?) and CBS, citing allegiance to "neutrality", is mandating the T word hold hands with "alleged" or some other like...
True or false: America is a deeply religious country that owes all its greatness to Christianity? The answer is: false. Fact is, America is not a religious country, not a Christian country, at all. Americans do not understand this--but the terrorists who struck us on...
The first round in the new war against terrorism has been lost. The "leak" of an announcement that the US favors a Palestinian state will correctly be interpreted by Arabs as proof that terrorism works. Just how strange is it that the three most obvious allies of the...
Terrorist organizations in the Middle East are trying to bill the current crisis as a confrontation between Islam and the West -- as in the Jihads and Crusades of centuries past. But there is no need for the rest of us to go along with that. Six years ago, Professor...
Fifty years of increasing American appeasement in the Mideast have led to fifty years of increasing contempt in the Muslim world for the U.S. The climax was September 11, 2001.
They condemn us for the "arrogant imperialism" of our foreign policy. They claim America is motivated by a predatory greed to plunder the world's natural resources. They say that we are the real terrorists and that we deserved Black Tuesday's attacks. Why do these...
A report Tuesday from Steve Galbraith, strategist at Morgan Stanley, slashed his 2001 earnings forecast for the S&P 500 from $51 to $46 -- about a 10% cut. But from the 1092 S&P close the day before the September 11 terrorist attack through the 1003 close last...
The attack of September 11, 2001 was only one incident in a concerted war on western civilization. The attackers are united not by any organized conspiracy, but by a common hatred, and a common desire. Their hatred is of life and their desire is death. The attack...
After over twenty years of unpunished terrorist violence against American servicemen and civilians that culminated in a September 11th attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center more destructive than Pearl Harbor, the Bush administration has declared a world war...
The enemy of September 11, 2001 is not a military foe boastful of his power. It is a tiny rat that hides under a rug in the free country it wants to destroy. That America asked for the co-operation of the world to exterminate this rat is the consequence of a grave...
He who turns the other cheek deserves what happens to it.
Statement of former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu before the Government Reform Committee, September 20, 2001: Chairman Burton, Distinguished Representatives, I want to thank you for inviting me to appear before you today. I feel a profound responsibility addressing...
To the students of Ashland University: university teachers have wide latitude in their choice and presentation of subjects. In America university courses have been presented about Black Hair, Oprah Winfrey, and the Social Life of Snails. I see no reason why I should...
