Iranian president says those who are for humanity should also be for eradicating Israel, since the ‘Zionist regime is a symbol of suppression and discrimination.’ Aug 25, 2011 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Iran was determined to eradicate Israel, ISNA news agency reported Thursday. “Iran believes that whoever is for humanity should also be [...]
By RANDY KREHBIEL World Staff Writer Published: 8/24/2011 4:04 AM BROKEN ARROW — President Barack Obama alone is to blame for the nation’s budget deficit – and just about everything else, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe told the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday. “We now have a president, and I don’t mean this disrespectfully, [...]
By Cal Thomas (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 Name a single Arab or Islamic state, which, after a revolution that has overthrown a dictator, came to embrace political pluralism, religious tolerance and equal rights for women. You can’t, can you? The U.S. State Department publishes an annual report on human rights practices in Arab [...]
By Larry Elder (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 I’m not afraid of anybody. … And as far as I’m concerned, the tea party can go straight to hell. – Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Waters’ list of insults, vulgarities and blame-whitey scapegoating easily makes her the Al Sharpton of Congress. Let’s go to the videotape: [...]
By Matt Towery (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 I’ve always considered former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to be an astute political observer. But when I hear him suggest the need to include “revenue” as part of the proposal by the ridiculous “Super Committee” of Congress to cut another $1.2 trillion of federal spending, I [...]
By Michael Barone (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 Not long ago, I wrote about how the private sector outraces and laps government. While governments dither and dispute, the private sector discovers. The example I mentioned then was energy. For years, governments, national and local, have been promoting wind and solar power, to little practical [...]
By Michael Reagan (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 With approximately 135 different tribes within its borders, the hard lifting in Libya now begins. It is incumbent upon the United States to take a lead role in this vital area. No more of the Obama policy of leading from the rear — the U.S. must [...]
By Ann Coulter (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 The definition of hell is being condescended to by idiots. It will probably be MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Contessa Brewer sneering at you for all of eternity for not believing in evolution. Roughly one-third of my 2007 No. 1 New York Times best-seller, “Godless: The Church [...]
By Victor Davis Hanson (Archive) · Thursday, August 25, 2011 To newly inaugurated Barack Obama and his prime-the-pump technocrats, the logic seemed so simple. America’s problem was a struggling economy. The solution was to spread around even more borrowed government money. The result would be a return to prosperity. But after nearly three years and [...]
