Ten Years of Lessons Unlearned Posted By Bruce Thornton URL to article: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/19/ten-years-of-lessons-unlearned/   Ten years after 9/11 many politicians and pundits continue to misinterpret Islamic jihadism. Typical is the following comment from Senator Joseph Lieberman’s essay in Foreign Affairs, in which he speaks of “an ideological struggle within Islam, waged between an extremist minority […]

THE INTIFADA COMES TO THE UNITED NATIONS: JOSEPH KLEIN

http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/19/palestinians-bring-their-intifada-to-the-united-nations/ Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas threw down the gauntlet in his September 16 address to the Palestinian people, televised from his Ramallah headquarters. He said he will take the Palestinians’ request for full United Nations member state recognition to the U.N. Security Council on the basis of the 1967 territorial lines, even though he […]

NRO EDITORS: NO! TO A PALARAB STATE….SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/277559 BRAVO TO THE NRO BUT THE OSLO PROCESS IS DEAD AS A DOORNAIL AND EVOKING IT IS JUST MAKING A U TURN IN HISTORY…..RSK There is no such thing as a Palestinian state, and the United Nations can’t conjure one into existence.

STUART SCHWARTZ: THE RESENTFUL MEDIA AND RICK PERRY

http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2011/09/rick_perry_and_the_wingnuts_for_jesus.html

God, can you believe it? And Rick Perry! And praise for Israel! The trifecta of New York Times nightmares — can it get any worse for journalists? But it did. The leading Republican candidate for president appeared at the center of an arena jammed with well-behaved, cheering college students and staff, all of whom dared to openly be…Christian! This stands in marked contrast to, say, a parallel University of Wisconsin-Madison event where “scores” of that state’s best and brightest “mobbed” a speaker while “shouting insults” and “knocking” staff “to the ground. Police had to be summoned.” Or a Columbia University event where Ivy Leaguers “heckled” and “jeered” a “wounded Iraq war vet.” Progressivism in action, doing what college students should be doing in Mainstream Mediaworld: beating down the enablers of a corrupt American society.

Rick Perry came to Liberty University (also known as Christian Wingnut Central) in Virginia just this past week and, despite the fears of the Washington Post and others of the mainstream media resentfully tagging along, the republic still stands. Perry talked God to 10,000 weirdly normal university students — no sex, drugs, or spittle in evidence — and the only sign of apocalypse came from the press covering the event, their heads revolving Linda Blair-like as they listened to Perry and Liberty speakers serially thanking and praising God.

STELLA APUL: GROUCHO MARX SAVES AMERICA

http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2011/09/groucho_marx_saves_america.html America is roaring back — with laughter.  A fed-up nation with itchy Twitter fingers is bringing down what’s left of an insufferably pompous presidency.  How?  By unleashing the most American weapon of all: the wisecrack. A hilarious barrage of catcalls and insults has greeted Obama’s latest debacle, a Soviet-style website called Attack Watch.  With […]

SETH LIPSKY: LET’S HAVE A DEBATE ON THE CONSTITUTION

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903927204576574522012564248.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop Let’s Have a Televised Debate on the Constitution What guidance do the GOP candidates draw from the document they revere? Watching the early clashes among the Republican presidential field leaves me hungering for a televised debate on the Constitution.

WSJ EDITORIAL: ARE PALESTINIANS ENTITLED TO A STATE?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904265504576568842038912296.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_AboveLEFTTop Are Palestinians entitled to a state? Before certain readers erupt at the mere suggestion that Palestinians may not be so entitled, we’d note that the Kurds—one of the oldest ethnic groups in the world—don’t have a state. Neither do the Tamils of Sri Lanka, the Uighurs and Tibetans of China, the Basques of Spain, […]
