DAVID “SPENGLER” GOLDMAN: BLAZING SADDLES IN PAKISTAN

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/MK29Df03.html ——————————————————————————– Blazing Saddles in Pakistan By Spengler In Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedy Blazing Saddles, a welcoming committee for a new sheriff turns into a lynch mob when it discovers the man is black. He points his gun at his own temple and says, ”One step closer and the [N-word] gets it!” The townspeople back […]

JED BABBIN: NEWT THE GROWN UP

http://spectator.org/archives/2011/11/28/newt-gingrich-grownup Of the Republican Eight, he is best prepared to take a 3 a.m. call to the White House. Hillary Clinton’s “3 a.m. phone call” ad could have been a devastating attack on Obama’s competence and experience. It failed to have an impact on voters because it ran four years too soon. Against the backdrop […]

FRANK GAFFNEY: THE ISOLATIONIAST DELUSION

http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p18872.xml I had an unsettling flashback last week listening to two of the Republican presidential candidates talk about foreign policy. Representative Ron Paul of Texas and former Utah Governor Jon Hunstman espoused isolationist stances that called to mind one of the most preposterous public policy debates in decades. As I recall, the occasion was a […]

JOHN BERNARD:Ganjgal Travesty Investigation: One Officer Shown the Door

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10907/pub_detail.asp

“And what of our Politicians who, for the most part have been sitting idly by while we have watched incident after incident unfold in which American Servicemen have been killed or brutalized? How many times must we write these stories or call them demanding they take action before we declare the entire system irrevocably corrupted and their lack of action, criminal? How many more Servicemen need to suffer – not the pains of war but wounds inflicted by a flawed strategy born of a stubborn adherence to a faulty understanding of the enemy born out of politically correct tripe?”

It has taken two years and two months for an investigation to determine that the dereliction of duty on the part of at least one Officer led to the deaths of four Service members at Ganjgal. For those not familiar with the story, this is the same engagement that yielded a Congressional Medal of Honor for Corporal Dakota Meyers and is likely to see another member of the ill-fated mission honored with yet another.

NANCY SALVATO: CONTRASTING WORLD VIEWS

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.10910/pub_detail.asp Thomas Jefferson outlined the philosophy of our nation’s government in the Declaration of Independence with the words, “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving […]

AN EVER DARKENING WORLD: VICTOR SHARPE

JOHN BOLTON: THE EU’S DEMOCRATIC DEFICIT

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/nov/26/eus-democratic-deficit/

The crisis of the euro, the common currency of 17 European Union members, continues unabated. Because of massive, sustained budget deficits by several eurozone countries, some could default on their sovereign debt obligations, or the euro itself might disintegrate, profoundly affecting the EU’s political and economic future.

Very little media attention, however, is focused on a very different, but even more important, EU problem, namely its “democratic deficit.” This large, growing gap between remote EU institutions in Brussels and citizens of its member states dramatically highlights the rising frustration and impotence felt by individual voters. To combat the euro crisis, EU elites are ignoring or overriding popular opposition to harsh austerity measures and imposing on fellow democracies the policies demanded by leaders of other, more powerful EU countries.

Even if the EU-wide remedies and the requirements imposed on countries such as Greece and Italy ultimately prove to be correct financially, they come with an enormous, corrosive cost to basic concepts of representative government throughout the EU. Whether this widening of the democratic deficit ultimately will weaken the EU itself remains uncertain, but there is no doubt populist resentment is smoldering in many EU countries.

ELLIOT JAGER: ON NOVEMBER 2, 1917 THE ARABS SAID “NO”

http://www.jewishideasdaily.com/content/module/2011/11/21/main-feature/1/in-november-the-arabs-said-no There are no uneventful months in the tortured history of the Arab-Israel conflict. November is no exception.  It was on November 2, 1917 that British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent Lord Rothschild, titular head of the British Jewish community, a letter—the Balfour Declaration—expressing the backing of the British government for “the establishment in Palestine […]

Dancing With The Devil: The Unconscionable Anti-Israel Stance Of The Victorian Multicultural Commission http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/

But in the Australian state of Victoria the Israeli culture, of all the cultures practised in the island continent, is under attack from none other than the Victorian Multiculturalism Commission!

A club, consisting of both Jewish and non-Jewish members, which specialises in Israeli dance, has been singled out for discrimination.
