The Democrats' Fake Hate Crime

Mark Steyn "Isn't that what societies with functioning media used to call "a story"? Apparently not. As they did at Duke, the brain-dead press went along with it - and so, predictably enough, did much of the Republican leadership."

Remembering the Holocaust

CNS News "At the end of the [Holocaust] museum tour is a section called “From Memory to Action: Meeting the Challenge of Genocide.” Its purpose is to direct the righteous anger and indignation (elicited from viewing the horrors of the Holocaust throughout the museum) from emotions to action. Thus, the display encourages visitors to fight modern genocides in the world. As you might’ve guessed, abortion is never mentioned." Kortney Blythe

An Easter People: The Centrality of the Resurrection

CNS News "Without the resurrection, the Christian religion would be cruelly deceitful. And far from being a great moral teacher, Jesus would be a malicious charlatan.During this Easter season, we do well to confront the claims of Jesus Christ. We should run with Peter and John to the tomb to see if it is really empty. If it is not, then we should grab all the gusto we can in order to anesthetize us from hopelessness and despair. If it is, we can sing “Alleluia!” for the curse has been broken, death has been defeated, and life eternal is available to those who believe." Ken Connor

Obama’s Stage Magic

Pajamas Media "Watching the Obama administration's energy policy is a lot like trying to learn stage magic. You have to learn to look where he doesn't want you to look."...."Consistently, the Obama administration’s “new” oil policy comes down to be taking existing reserves off the table and announcing permission to begin to start to explore for oil and natural gas, which if found won’t be leasable."

Amnesty International Comes Out of the Closet — Endorses "Defensive" Jihad

Andrew McCarthy "That Islamists reserve unto themselves the right to determine when Islam is, as they put it, "under siege," and when, therefore, forcible jihad is justified, is plainly of no concern — only actions America's self-defense are worthy of condemnation. This has long been obvious when it comes to such Leftist bastions as AI and Human Rights Watch. AI has now made the obvious explicit."

The protection of Easter in Jewish Jerusalem

Washington Times "Better to take your celebration to Israel, where the government will assist your visit. It's the difference between Middle East and the cultural West, between the 8th and 21st centuries, between civilized and not-so-civilized. The Israeli guarantee of religious freedom, taken for granted in the nations of the West, is part of what invites hostility and belligerence from Israel's neighbors."

Saving the Republic: Yes We Can

American Thinker "Americans must speak up. Congress may provide at least some security. Directly accountable to the electorate, Congress has a historical role in reclaiming unconstitutionally exercised executive power . But if Americans do not seek redress, then there will be no redress. It starts with a decision to abandon fear and say no. No longer can Americans stand by and let this perversion of a presidency devour American liberty unchallenged."John Griffing

Fellating the White House

Atlas Shrugs "...many White House correspondents and other top tier journalists want to write Obama books. Anything with "Obama" on it is running at a huge premium in the book publication market. But the kind of books that sell need "inside access" and this is something that the communications team at the White House doles out minimally, and increasingly, only when favors are part of the arrangement. What I have learned after discussions over the last several days with several journalists who either have regular access to the White House or are part of the White House press corps is that there is a growing sense that access is traded for positive stories -- or perhaps worse, an agreement that things learned will not be reported in the near term." Emphasis added. Then this: Communications Corruption at the White House
