White "Genocide" Against Native Americans

...none of the warfare (including an Indian attack in 1675 that succeeded in butchering a full one-fourth of the white population of Connecticut, and claimed additional thousands of casualties throughout New England) on either side amounted to genocide. Colonial and, later, the American government, never endorsed or practiced a policy of Indian extermination; rather, the official leaders of white society tried to restrain some of their settlers and militias and paramilitary groups from unnecessary conflict and brutality.

George Soros

Through networks of nongovernmental organizations, Soros intends to ruin the presidency of George W. Bush "by any legal means necessary" and knock America off its global pedestal. "His view of America is so negative," says Sen. Joe Lieberman, who, like Gen. David Petraeus, has been a target of Soros’ electoral "philanthropy." "The places he’s put his money are . . . so destructive that it unsettles me." Soros’ aim seems to be to make the U.S. just another client state easily controlled by the United Nations and other one-world groups where he has lots of friends.

Why the Left hates Israel

When Israel was founded in 1948, that nation was the darling of the left. Many of that country’s founders were communists and socialists (that is why the first nation to cast an affirmative ballot in the UN vote for the partition of Palestine was the Soviet Union. They fully expected that Israel would be an important Soviet asset in the Middle East). When the rubber met the road however, the Israelis proved that once given a choice, people will always choose freedom over tyranny. The left was stung and hasn’t gotten over their bitter disappointment. Leftist support for Israel eroded and became real hate for the Jewish state that dared embrace real democratic values. This lesson hasn’t been lost by the Palestinians. Were they to adopt a truly democratic and pluralistic ideology, the left would drop them in a minute.

Karl Rove

CBS White House correspondent John Roberts told me of his belief that the forged documents came from Karl Rove, that essentially Bush’s political advisor baited the network into launching a political attack against his own candidate in order to discredit the story and the news organization.

Most Corrupt Members of Congress

Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released its third annual report on the most corrupt members of Congress entitled Beyond DeLay: The 22 Most Corrupt Members of Congress (and two to watch). This encyclopedic report on corruption in the 110th Congress documents the egregious, unethical and possibly illegal activities of the most tainted members of Congress. CREW has compiled the members’ transgressions and analyzed them in light of federal laws and congressional rules.

Home Runs and Steroids

Steroid use by a Major League Baseball slugger may produce only modest increases in muscle mass and bat and ball speed but still boost home run production by 50 percent or more, according to a new study by Tufts University physicist Roger Tobin.

Snarky Quote

After teachers and welfare recipients, the Democrats’ most prized constituency is trial lawyers. The ultimate Democrat constituent would be a public schoolteacher on welfare who needed an abortion and was suing her doctor.

Love of Life

The West is dying because it has lost its love for life, and it is still struggling to dismantle many of the ancient rules that kept its behavior consistent with its continued survival, such as abortion, no-fault divorce, gay marriage, and euthanasia. But at least our enemies hate life even more than we do, so there will be no worldwide caliphate. The jihadis are full of ideas on how to destroy civilizations, but they have only a vague idea of how to build new ones.

This puts them ahead of our homegrown leftists, though. With the collapse of Communism, our leftists don’t even have a vague idea of how or why Utopia will spring forth from the ground once they’ve smashed evil capitalism. Their forebears at least had nice fairy tales about sharing everything equally, universal brotherhood of man, and scientific socialism. But with the modern leftists, I can’t even tell what fairy tale they claim to be fighting for.

The good news is that life’s requirements cannot be changed, not by any act of Congress, shift in public opinion, or act of mass destruction. Perhaps the world will burn, the streets will flow with blood, and millions will die. Perhaps. But none of it will last, because there’s no future in destruction. The future belongs to those who want to live, and who are willing to do what life requires.

Memo to Sally Field

No, we don’t like you! We never did!

Did you know?

Federal judge Marcelo Bernal ruled in favor of a demand by the Brazilian state of Tocantins’ Consejo Regional de Medicina (Regional Council on Medicine) that Cuban doctors be prohibited from practicing in their state. Based on the results they’d achieved with Tocantins’ residents, the judge referred to the Cuban doctors as ‘Witch Doctors’ and ‘Shamans.’

British leave Basra, Taliban takes over

"No! No to unveiled women."

That message joins the chorus of ultraconservative voices and radical militias that are transforming this once liberal port city that boasted some of Iraq’s most lively nightclubs into a bastion for hard-line Shiite Islamists since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

Now, as the British prepare to exit Basra Province altogether after pulling out from this provincial capital last week, they leave behind what has been described by many here as an emerging "Shiite Taliban state," a reference to Sunni extremists in Afghanistan.

False Prophets

Rachel Carson, who had once been trained in zoology, led the way in this arena of ill-founded conclusions regarding subjects about which she had no expertise. (i.e., DDT)

Butterfly expert Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book The Population Bomb foisted him into public view with his utterly false predictions that the battle to feed humanity was over and that 10 million children would starve annually by the end of the 1970s.

Dr. Ernest Sternglass predicted in 1969 that all children in the United States would perish from the fallout of our nuclear tests.

Carl Sagan predicted a nuclear winter and that the early 1990s Kuwait oil fires would have a permanent affect on world climate.

Barry Commoner predicted the "virtual death of marine life" in rivers by 1980 due to zero oxygen levels caused by pollution from fertilizers.

Samuel Epstein alleged a prominent herbicide caused cancer and industrial pollution was creating an epidemic of cancer. These allegations were rejected by real science, but in the interim they made Epstein very famous.

Irving Selikoff, whose opinions served as a basis for Environmental Protection Agency standards on asbestos, predicted 40,000 deaths per year from asbestos from 1967 to 1977. The actual number was 522 worldwide.

In 1976 Stephen Schneider supported the view that the Earth was entering a little ice age. Now he is a leading proponent of the theory of global warming.

Even the revered oceanographer Jacques Cousteau was not above exaggerating. After a speech to UCLA students, a young reporter by the name of Dana Rohrabacher, who happened to be a scuba diver, asked Cousteau if he wasn’t being too pessimistic about the difficulty of obtaining fish, clams, oysters, and lobsters from the oceans in the future. Cousteau came up to his face and said, "Did you not hear me? Within 10 years the oceans will be black goo, totally dead, destroyed. The oceans will be lifeless."
