Interview: Douglas Murray 2008-05-27 13:04:23 Neoconstant is delighted to welcome the leading British Neoconservative political commentator and author, DouglasMurray
. In the year 2000, he became the youngest ever published biographer with his widely acclaimed ‘Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas’. However, it is probably his most recent book ‘Neoconservatism: Why We Need It’ that has seen his reputation [...]
CAIR: Islamists Masquerading as Moderate Muslims 2008-05-27 12:24:44 By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com
I worked with a Shiite Muslim for seven years, probably one of the best customers I’ve ever had. I avidly follow true moderate Muslim commentators like Fareed Zakaria, [1] Kamal Nawash, [2] Fouad Ajami, [3] and Mansoor Ijaz. [4] I hold democratically-elected Muslim leaders like President Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia with [...] Read more:Islamists

Trust But Verify - The Problems In Dealing With Syria and Iran 2008-05-27 10:40:46 “Trust but verify.” Those were the watchwords of President Ronald Reagan when he embarked upon the historic series of negotiations with the Soviet Union that would culminate with the START I Treaty designed to reduce the numbers of nuclear weapons deployed by the United States and Soviet Union. Today a tempest in a teapot has [...] Read more:Syria
Ron Paul and the al-Paulista Martyrs Brigade 2008-05-27 10:25:02 Ron Paul has absolutely no chance in a million years of becoming the next President of the United States of America. None. I site, as my source for this wild claim, the fact that he has not won a single state primary. Add to this the fact that his popularity is more a media infatuation [...] Read more:Martyrs

Is Obama Another JFK? On Foreign Policy We Should Hope Not 2008-05-24 23:40:33 Yesterday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe former JFK speechwriter Ted Sorensen joined former LBJ speechwriter Doris Kearns Goodwin for a discussion of the similarities between Barack Obama
and John F. Kennedy. For those less mindful of their history one could only sense that any such comparisons the two made favorably of Obama with Kennedy would redound [...] Read more:Foreign

Fair government - a decent life - reasonable future. 2008-05-24 16:51:49 This really follows on from my recent article TAXATION IS A DIRTY WORD, primarily because of the encouraging and agreeable comments received. I like what was written on Fair Tax, and that could be a way forward, but I will leave that to others to take up.
I’d like to expand on my thoughts here about [...]
Barack Obama: Media Darling 2008-05-23 11:09:29 If you follow politics closely, there is a distinct media bias in this country that is evidenced almost on a daily basis. In this current political season regarding BarackObama
, it is more observable than ever.
Never in my life have I witnessed one politician “misspeak” so many times in such a short period and have [...] Read more:Barack Obama
Smoking in Flagstaff’s Bars 2008-05-22 15:51:10 I’m not a smoker. I used to be, but I quit two years ago. Now I can’t stand smoking. I try it every once and a while, and I always feel worse for wear afterward. I don’t particularly like being around second-hand smoke either. I don’t like the smell of old smoke–it’s stale, and dirty, [...] Read more:Smoking
“What did Chamberlain Do Wrong?” 2008-05-21 09:16:03 A recent spat on the Chris Matthew’s television program (“Dancing with the Stars” we believe?) has provided a splendid micro-study of the various bankruptcies which characterize the low-state of political debate currently at play in the last best hope of mankind. May God help us all.
First there is intellectual bankruptcy demonstrated [...] Read more:Wrong
Jane Novak and the Armies of Liberation 2008-05-20 21:56:56 Well, to most of us bloggers, there’s really nothing surprising about what Jane Novak
is doing in her (as the New York Times put it) crusade for imprisoned Yemeni journalist Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani, the now somewhat infamous dissident she has been blogging about for several years now. You see, bloggers tend to scrape beneath surfaces that [...] Read more:Liberation
How Many Pastors Does it Take to Screw a Candidate? 2008-05-30 15:16:15 First there was Rev. Wright with his “God Damn America” speech. Now we have a Catholic Priest, Father Pfleger, which is kind of a fun name to say out loud, mocking Clinton and white people in general.
The Georgetown Blog notes:
During his sermon, Father Pfleger mocked Hillary Clinton’s tears before the New Hampshire primary. He [...] Read more:Screw

Conservatism and Atheism: Second in a Series 2008-05-31 22:34:55 I am a convinced law-and-order conservative, an eagerly practicing capitalist, an ideological libertarian. I accept enthusiastically the whole package of US Republican Party policy and sentiment - pro-America, pro-victory in Iraq, pro-gun, anti-abortion (with sensible reservations), pro-death penalty, pro-tax cuts, pro-smaller government, pro-spreading democracy and freedom throughout the world, p Read more:Conservatism

The Church of England must stand up in the face of terror 2008-06-02 12:44:45 I am a committed atheist. I subscribe to Christopher Hitchens’ view that ‘God is not great’, though I would not agree with him that anyone who believes in religion ought to be distrusted. A common misunderstanding is that one must be religious in order to recognize the role religion can play in making society a [...] Read more:Church

Though I wish I had a compelling personal journey which produced my atheism, I don’t. While I agree the burden lies with the believers, I will nevertheless try and justify [...] Read more:Atheism
South Dakota To Build First New Oil Refinery in 32 years 2008-06-05 03:00:29 South Dakota
residents should be proud of themselves. In a time when Washington, D.C. offers no solutions and double-talking politicians complain about gas prices while blocking any effort to drill domestically, South Dakota
comes through with a solution. Build

Honour killing in Iraq should serve as somber reminder of challenges ahead 2008-06-04 19:56:45 In the context of the 2006 stalemate, progress in Iraq
post-surge has been a success beyond what even the most optimistic of supporters of the invasion could have expected. The indicators are all pointing in the right direction- violence incidents at a 4 year low, the Iraqi army taking control of Sadr City and Basra, [...] Read more:serve

Not Bush’s War: How Iraq is an American Conundrum 2008-06-06 18:26:51 There is an absurd notion floating (or perhaps burning wild-fire-like) throughout the anti-war camp that Iraq
is some invention of the Bush Administration. Now, while I have professed many times to having been a critic of our entrance into Iraq due to what I perceived as poor (and avoidable) timing, I take offense at the [...] Read more:American

Politicians Do Not Own the People, “We, the People” Own Them 2008-06-06 13:06:17 By Julian Krasta
Now that the Democrats have, at long last, selected their nominee, “We” need to remind ourselves of long-standing facts concerning those persons we elected to public office. More importantly, the presidential candidates need to hear from us.
The United States is hovering closer to the thin edge of the wedge, because too large a [...]
Brr! This Global Warming is Freezing My Skin! 2008-06-06 12:57:49 It will be interesting to see how the global warming Nazis continue to spin the barrage of data against their cause. It makes me wonder how this can continue with the evidence just piling up against this movement. As reported several weeks ago, over 31,000 scientists across the U.S.–including 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields such as [...] Read more:Global

So Why Did Hillary Lose? “It’s The War, Stupid” 2008-06-09 14:45:53 The floodgates of the media and blogosphere are about to erupt with a torrent of articles examining exactly why Sen. Hillary
Clinton lost the Democratic Party's nomination to Sen. Barack Obama when a year ago her coronation appeared to be the more likely outcome. All sorts of angles will be covered and there can be little doubt that a variety of things contributed to her narrow defeat. The sloppil Read more:Stupid

This March 17, you see, is especially significant to Lefties as it represents the 40th anniversary of the [...] Read more:Iraq
