Immigration waters the dry garden of the Pilgrim story, keeping it from fossilizing into mere historical relic. Nov 27, 2010 WSJ By BORIS FISHMAN Provincetown, Mass. My family, refugees from the Soviet Union, arrived in the United States on Thanksgiving Eve 1988. This year, I celebrated the holiday a mile from the spot where the [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Bill O’Reilly Be thankful this holiday weekend that you don’t live in Ireland or Greece. Those countries are in very bad economic shape and have to take bailout money from other countries just to survive. There are riots in the streets, and fear and loathing are on display. The luck of [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown During this Christmas season of cheer and good tidings, a universal message is going forth. They are all united from Barack Obama to Martha Stewart to Wall Street Banks, the Federal Reserve and even your local mall agrees: please borrow to spend more this Christmas. Americans [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Hugh Hewitt A liberal friend of mine sent out an email this past week urging all of the recipients to urge their Representative and Senator to push for the passage of the Dream Act when Congress reconvenes next week. I wrote back that such a result would be a disaster for [...]
By Burt Prelutsky (Archive) · Saturday, November 27, 2010 Although I loved what Lerner and Loewe made of it, it’s a shame that George Bernard Shaw wrote “Pygmalion.” That’s because all his other plays, including “Candida,” “Man and Superman” and “Major Barbara,” were snoozearamas and it would make it so much easier to dismiss him [...]
By Argus Hamilton (Archive) · Saturday, November 27, 2010 President Obama joyfully announced the U.S. government sold half its GM stock it assumed last year and cleared taxpayers a thirteen billion dollar profit. His friends are worried. Nothing ruins a Democrat like evidence he could have been a great speculator. Donald Trump says he may [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Phil Boehmke The feeding frenzy known as the Black Friday Door Buster never ceases to amaze. Those once in a lifetime deals that retailers dangle like a piece of meat in a tank full of piranha have a way of bringing out the worst in some people. Thursday night in [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Mladen Andrijasevic On November 17, at the National Press Club, there was a symposium on Iran organized by Freedom Watch, at which several distinguished speakers including former director of CIA James Woolsey, former CIA spy Reza Kahlili and former UN Ambassador Alan Keyes among others gave speeches on “National security, freedom, [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Rick Moran More “unintended consequences” from Obamacare that opponents were right about: Doctors deciding to forgo treating Medicare patients: Want an appointment with kidney specialist Adam Weinstein of Easton, Md.? If you’re a senior covered by Medicare, the wait is eight weeks.How about a checkup from geriatric specialist Michael Trahos? Expect [...]
Nov 27, 2010 By Rick Moran Pakistan, a hot bed of Islamic extremism – even among those who oppose the Taliban – may execute a Christian woman for “blasphemy” based solely on the testimony of witnesses who hate her for her religion. A mother of 5, Aasia Bibi may even be innocent of the charges: [...]
