  • GAZA AND HAMAS

    You comment on the death toll in Gaza,...how about the thousands of Israeli's that have died from there suicide bombers? How many have died so far? Is anyone counting them? I think Hamas is getting what they deserve and should be wiped out. It is so hard to understand why the people in the middle-east can't get along with each other...oh, I ...

  • Wow -- What a Rant by "Rage Boy" Chris Hitch Today

    I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

  • Re: A response from a Christian Libertarian

    I absolutely agree. There is no reason religion should be above rational, critical discussion like every other topic. What upsets believers is when their butt isn't kissed in debates to the degree to which they are accustomed. I personally think the religious are entitled to believe whatever they want in a free society. They are not, however ...

  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • Well, That's Good News for Dems and Catholics Both

    I did not need to read this article, to take immediate notice when 1) Gov. Casey's Son spoke at the Democratic Convention this year, in contrast to the first Bill Clinton Convention in 1992; and 2) Joe Biden was picked to join this 2008 Ticket with Obama. Both were welcome developments to me, and I have the sensitivities on these pro-Abort ...

  • What is Obama's History

    I found out for myself and posted it at http://obamascrapbook.com. Who were his parents and grandparents? When and where was he born? Where did he attend school? Who is this guy? Find out at http://obamascrapbook.com. I dare you.

  • The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .

    . . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

  • Turks - New Applicants to NATO - Fear Women's Head Scarves?

    Speaking plain American English, I would say that any Western, Modern Government that can be brought down by women wearing head scarves, quite honestly deserves it's fate. This goes for Turkey, for Germany, and for France, too. How far does this anti-Moslem, anti-Arabia, anti-Religion and anti-Tradition Modernist Feminist conceit of our dopey, ...

  • A double standard on Turkish Head Scarves

    Ms. Applebaum suggests a double standard about head scarves. Why of course head scarves suggest something about the political & social beliefs of the wearers. I imagine a nun's habit suggests a certain stance on abortion & sex ed after all! The problem with Turkey & France is that they lack a 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment prevents ...

  • Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan

    Christopher Hitchens engages in breathtaking and broad stroke, decades long perspective in cataloguing the burning of world war through the 20th Century, from the beginnings of World War One through World War Two through to the conclusion of the Cold War, to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...
