Can America Learn from Europe’s Multiculturalism Mistake?

This video could serve as a nice warning to America about what happens when you allow massive immigration, encourage non-assimilation, and indeed, expect the host country to adapt to the foreigners rather than the other way around.  It’s a sign of wisdom to be able to learn from the mistakes of others, but there is [...]

TSA: T is for Tyranny

How much are people willing to tolerate in pursuit of “safety” I wonder? The full body scanners and groping pat-downs are tantamount to a violation of the 4th Amendment, with a former TSA assistant administrator admitting as much: “No one likes their Fourth Amendment violated going through a security line. But the truth of the [...]

Pastor Terry Jones Should Probably Cancel Koran Burnings – He Did

There is really no need for Pastor Terry Jones to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11. On the anniversary of the greatest terror attack on U.S. soil, one can certainly sympathize with the sentiment, but it’s needlessly provocative and is equally unkind to non-terrorist Muslims.
Somewhat similar to the proposed building of [...]

Supporters of the Ground Zero Mosque are Wrong

Apologists, including the President, have tried to make the case that it is we who are being intolerant and inconsistent with our own First Amendment. But there are a few problems with this argument:
1.) We aren’t dealing with just any religion, but one whose beliefs comprise a complete socio-political system that is hostile to our [...]

Insult to Injury: President Obama Strongly Supports Building of Ground Zero Mosque

President Obama finally decided to take a position on the Ground Zero Mosque, and as expected, he sided against America. Speaking at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, the president strongly approved of building a mosque near ground zero claiming the country’s founding principles demanded it. But I can find [...]

Bill Press Mocks Those Who Criticize Interpretation of 14th Amendment

In light of the resulting drain on social services, increased crime, school crowding, and economic impact of illegal immigration, the time to end so-called “anchor babies” is long overdue. However, on his Aug. 4 program, liberal talk show host Bill Press became unhinged over U.S. Senators who questioned the modern interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

Ground Zero Mosque: Hidden Meaning for America, But Not Islam

by SteveK @ Tuesday, July 27th, 2010. Tags: , , , ,
Filed under Culture, History, Middle East, National Security, Religion

Westerners who defend the building of the controversial mosque at ground zero do so on the grounds of religious freedom. Such First Amendment absolutism in the face of a deceptive religion whose beliefs are totally antithetical to our own, ultimately works against the West and aids in our own demise. American values such as liberty [...]

It’s Not Racial Profiling, but Another Form of Affirmative Action

How do you fight a crime committed disproportionately by a particular group without profiling?
If race is inextricably tied to a particular crime, and any attempts to address it are reflexivly branded as ‘profiling’, then basically you are saying you cannot stop it; you just have to let it happen.
It is strange to hear people in [...]

Shameful Media Once Again Humanizes Terrorists

A recent article in The Associated Press highlighted the troubles of Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square bomber, citing how “his life seemed to unravel.”
“He left a job at a global marketing firm he’d held for three years, lost his home to foreclosure and moved into an apartment in an impoverished neighborhood in Bridgeport.”
Of course, the [...]

Media Working Hard to Misrepresent Arizona Illegal Alien Law

Filed under Culture, Government, Media, National Security

CBS Early Show co-host Harry Smith asked former Republican Congressman J.D. Hayworth this ridiculous question: “Some people would contend that this law in Arizona is racist in nature. Some have equated it even with Jews having to carry identification during Nazi Germany. How do you respond to that?”
Some people contend a lot of things without [...]
