ENJOY LIFETHERE IS NO AFTER-LIFE That was the billboard I saw this week as I was speeding north on US-26 just outside of Watertown, Wisconsin.

Today is the two hundred and twenty-third anniversary of the second Constitution of the United States of America. An excellent document of preserving liberty if citizens remain honest. It provides the American people with a Republic and as Ben Franklin warned us about if we can keep it. The sad fact is since the progressives [...]

It almost always is. In the case of the “Ground Zero Mosque” debate however, this quickly gets lost amongst the “we have a right to build it” vs. the “it’s hallowed ground, move it” arguments. Sure, they may indeed have the right to build there, but the key really is this: they ask — nay, [...]

One thing that many Americans forget is the people from different cultures are, well … different. What we see as cooperative and supportive some others see as weak. If we are going to be true to the multiculturalist ideal, then we have to learn to address those other cultures on their own terms. For example, [...]

Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the 1st World Trade Center bombers, states the truth, bold and unflinching.  Such an Islam, over nine long years, would have risen up and made itself heard. It would have identified by name and condemned with moral outrage the imposters purporting to act in its name. It would have honored America’s [...]

The sleeping giant awoke and snapped at a few gnats.  But the giant was surrounded by so many Lilliputians insisting that the giant was mean and cruel and the gnats were really a Religion of Peace.  Then the dark skinned man sang his song of apathy and appeasement and the sleeping giant went back to [...]

After spending all morning trying to properly frame a response to our webmaster’s comments on the Koran, I go over to Pajama’s media and find out that John Adams said it better than I ever could 200 years ago.  Adams states that Mohammed is “a military fanatic” who “denies that laws were made for him; [...]

Last night, I went to the movies. I do not like to preview them. The movie I pick was the next one showing. It was Nanny McPhee Return. While I don’t want Nanny McPhee, I do need her to help civilised us. Please, help us, Nanny!

In recent times, destroying the sacred objects of whom one think of as non-believers to one’s own belief system has become very popular. I understand the fruitlessness in convincing other people, who disrespect one’s own sacred things, to be civil. [from 1995 to 2003 I attempted to remind some of my fellow Townhall chatters to [...]

Our webmaster linked to this post at the American Spectator blog http://spectator.org/blog/2010/09/05/president-barack-obama-to-be-r .  It must be hard to know that the majority of Americans don’t think you’re doing a very good job.  But what’s it like to know that the people who don’t like you REALLY DON’T LIKE YOU?
