The War on Radical Islam Can Be Won; the War on Terror Cannot

Pajamas Media "In reality, homegrown jihad is an outgrowth of a foreign ideology that survives because of state support.

The debate about prosecuting the war must focus on ideology, not tactics, because ideology can be defeated." Ryan Mauro

Environmentalism: the new home of the Luddite reactionaries

Pajamas Media "...the cap-and-trade legislation isn’t about science; it’s about money and control. Anyone the slightest bit interested in science would laugh the whole thing off in twelve seconds. Indeed, the entire environmental movement is verging on becoming an enemy of science itself." Roger L Simon

How Easter stubbornly resists commercialism.

Slate "By now, the true meaning of Christmas has been buried under a mountain of secular accoutrements. But despite the best efforts of a perky bunny, Easter has managed to retain its original religious significance. In a "Faith-Based" originally published in 2008, James Martin explained Easter's steadfast character."

US 'to begin profiling air passengers'

Google.com "The move aims to avoid the intelligence failures that allowed the alleged Christmas Day bomber, Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, to board the Detroit-bound flight from Amsterdam wearing underpants rigged with explosives, even though US intelligence had been alerted to information on him."

THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS

Nealz Nuze "Can't you just imagine what this Admiral Willard must have been thinking? Here's this graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy listening to some moonbat member of the House Armed Services Committee expressing concerns that Guam is going to tip over. That was after he listened to Johnson's inane rambling about the size of Guam, using phrases like "least widest."
