CAROLYN GLICK: For the New Year . . . secular Jewry must learn to embrace true friends and fiercely fight enemies

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Upon his return to Ramallah from New York, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas was greeted by a crowd of several thousand well-wishers. They applauded him for his speech at the UN. There, Abbas erased Jewish history from the Land of Israel, denied Israel’s right to exist and pledged his commitment to establish a […]

OWEN GRAHAM: COUNTERING THE GROWING MISSILE THREAT

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10461,css.print/pub_detail.asp
America faces a growing missile threat from abroad — along with the prospect of huge defense cuts. Something’s wrong with this equation.

Speakers at the annual Space and Missile Defense Conference in Huntsville, Ala., outlined the extent of that threat and agreed that robust missile defenses are crucial. But with the tight fiscal environment and defense programs on the chopping block, this task will be difficult.

According to Gen. Patrick O’Reilly, director of the Missile Defense Agency, more than 32 countries possess ballistic missiles. He raised concerns about the proliferation of anti-ship missiles and an increase in ballistic-missile production facilities.

PARRY TIME FOR PERRY:DAVID KEENE

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/27/parry-time-for-perry/

If Rick Perry wants to win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, he is going to have to convince Republican primary voters that he is as talented a politician as Ronald Reagan. In 1980, Republicans were angry about the state of the country. President Carter was seen as embarrassing and incompetent. The economy was in the tank and many analysts thought Mr. Carter would be a pushover when he ran for re-election.

But he wasn’t. He led Ronald Reagan in virtually every general election poll taken until mid-October by fairly substantial margins. It was clear that voters wanted desperately to “fire” the incumbent, but it took them a long time to believe they actually could. That was because Mr. Carter and his advisers realized he couldn’t win if the election was about him and his performance. To win, they would have to make it about his opponent – Ronald Reagan – and that was exactly what they did.

They portrayed Reagan as a gunslinging extremist from the West who would, if elected, make an admittedly bad situation even worse. Through the late summer and early fall, the strategy seemed to be working just as it had for Lyndon B. Johnson when he trounced Barry Goldwater in 1964, but as voters got to know Reagan, they realized he wasn’t the dangerous radical portrayed by Mr. Carter. Reagan proved to be a reasonable candidate who shared their values and might be just what the country needed. Within hours of their October debate, it was as if voters all across the country looked at one another and whispered the words that Barack Obama was later to make famous: “Yes, we can.”

DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE TRASH OF ISLAM….THE GARBAGE CRISIS

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

Two years ago the Egyptian city of Cairo, the largest city in the Arab world and the “timeless city” of Obama’s Cairo speech, the heart of the Arab Spring, was suffering from a garbage crisis. The crisis had a very simple cause, the pigs that used to eat the garbage were killed to prevent the spread of Swine Flu.

The pigs living in “Garbage City” had served as both organic garbage disposals and food sources for the Zabaleen, families of marginalized Christian Copts who made a living by collecting the garbage, reselling the inorganic garbage and feeding the organic garbage to pigs. The system worked fine so long as there were pigs, but without the pigs, Cairo’s streets are filled with giant mounds of rotting garbage.

It might be shocking for most people to realize that the trash collection system for the largest city in the Arab world, the capital of what passes for Arab Muslim civilization, depended on a class of “untouchable” garbage collectors as young as eight years old, and their pigs to keep the city from drowning in its own garbage.

STAY THE COURSE RICK PERRY:RUBEN NAVARRETTE, JR.

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/stay-the-course-rick-perry/?print=1 Stay the Course, Rick Perry Posted By Ruben Navarrette Jr. If the political parties spent half as much time dealing with the immigration issue as they do manipulating it for their own benefit, the country would be far better off. If you follow every spasm of the immigration debate, you’ll get whiplash and become […]

HANS A. VON SPAKOVSKY: DEPUTY A.G. LORETTA KING RESIGNS…..

A Partisan at Justice Resigns Posted By Hans A. von Spakovsky
URL to article: http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/09/27/a-partisan-at-justice-resigns/

Sources inside the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department tell me that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Loretta King, the controversial career lawyer who ordered the dismissal of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case, has announced that she is resigning. King is infamous within the Division for her opposition to race-neutral enforcement of discrimination laws. She made it very clear to her subordinates that she did not want any lawsuits filed against minority defendants no matter what violations of federal voting rights laws they committed. This was the lawyer chosen by President Obama to be the acting head of the Civil Rights Division when he took office.

THE OSLO ACCORDS ARE DEAD….ISRAELIS MUST NOW ACT IN THEIR OWN INTEREST:JACOB CAMPBELL
