  • 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 ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • The 3 responses a creationist has to this type of evidence

    Christopher - I recall you saying in a debate that when you are against a creationist, you find it best to ''highlight and underline'' this point rather then argue it. I have occasionally accepted the putrid distinction of arguing (not 'debating') the evolution case in front of creationist audiences (at the grandiloquent Liberty University) and I ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • Government abuse of power

    South Dakotas law relating to doctor patient communication and abortion: This is just another method for people using and abusing government power. They attempt to control others and legislate morality by forcing their beliefs (usually based on their religion) upon all of society. Their goal is to limit freedom and force conformity with their ...

  • rapture

    Brett Grainger's recent, ''In the World and Not of It,'' (Walker books) offers a stirring look at what it was like to grow up in this rapture-ready world described in this article, and what it meant to leave it behind. The books most stirring quality is that it never turns its subjects into a sideshow for our ridicule. It swaps out the easy rush ...

  • 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 ...

  • I Am a Mormon

    This article brings me to a conclusion about this church. And I say it with all my knowledge as a person and I know this to be the truth. This FLDS Church is an abomination to human kind, it is an abomination to God, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, for the belief that such practices can be held in such cult and violent and unrighteous ways such as ...
