Why are Republican responses to President Obama’s economic plan so anemic? Because Republicans are unwilling to address the root cause of the financial crisis, says Asia Times columnist Spengler. Writing at First Things blog, he cites a recent economic analysis arguing that a significant portion of the US housing market will never recover because baby-boomer [...]
Immediately after his inauguration, President Barack Obama appealed to the Muslim world to “initiate a new partnership” with the United States “based on mutual respect and mutual interest”. So, how’s that going so far? Not well, as Charles Colson points out. Egyptians were wildly supportive of Obama’s victory, seeing him as a symbol of justice. [...]
Free speech champions Harvey Silverglate and Robert Freedman are seeking election to Harvard University’s Board of Overseers. They want to Harvard to re-dedicate itself to cultivating a culture of free speech and free inquiry on campus.

Marijuana worth millions of dollars was carefully cultivated and harvested inside British Columbia homes and shipped into the United States via the St Regis Mohawk Reservation on the New York state border, only to be grabbed by cops in Queens, New York.

High fuel costs and poor fishing have led to hardships in remote Alaskan villages near the mouth of the Yukon River.

Winston Blackmore and James Oler, leaders of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) colony in Bountiful, BC, have recently been charged with multiple counts of polygamy and are expected to enter pleas of not guilty in Creston this week. The charges have brought renewed attention to a group of FLDS [...]
Here is the first item in this morning’s Thomas Sowell column, “Random Thoughts“: One of the most important skills for political success is the ability to make confident assertions of absurdities or lies. And here is today’s editorial cartoon by Michael Ramirez:
As one of the relative few (apparently) who followed Sarah Palin’s career before the vice presidential nomination thrust her onto the national stage, I was baffled that she became a focus of social and cultural conflict during the presidential campaign. As a gubernatorial candidate and as governor of Alaska, she was far more interested in [...]

Vishal Mangalwadi, a Christian who was born and raised in India, says that Barack Obama was elected president because Americans hold a belief that is rare in most other countries—human equality—and Americans believe in human equality because of their Christian heritage. Thomas Jefferson was wrong about one thing: Human equality is not “self-evident.” Inequality is [...]
A Detroit-area radio station is broadcasting messages by Father Zakariah Botros, and local Muslims claim he has “repeatedly defamed” Muhammed. So, do the protestors want to broadcast rebuttals of Fr Botros’s statements? Do they want to organise a public debate with the elderly Coptic priest? No, they just want to shut him up. Muslims and [...]
I imagine that anyone who follows news on the internet has seen the cringe-inducing “I Pledge” video of celebrities promising to do a bunch of good stuff because they’re so enamoured of Barack Obama. If you haven’t seen it yet and really want to, it’s on YouTube. Here’s a snippet from the show’s script. I [...]
It’s creepy enough when Americans talk of the Obamessiah, but this came from a Canadian journalist. (Note the unAmerican spelling of “fervour”.) Rapt eyes shone as Obama spoke with stunning eloquence of re-building America. When the president delivered perhaps his most impressive rhetorical offering, telling the world’s tyrants, “We will extend a hand if you [...]
