Victor Davis Hanson "We need to create a shame culture in which the worst sort of social transgression (far worse than smoking) is to burden the public schools with children that were neither raised nor tamed.
"As a small start, might we end anonymity and return to the old shame culture of identifying youths by name, at any age, once they come into contact with the criminal justice system? As in: “David Smith, age 15, of 302 Broad Street, Selma, was arraigned today on charges of aggravated assault.” "

A Cause Hollywood Ignores: ‘Harry Potter’ Actress In Hiding From Violent Islamists
Big Hollywood "Afshan Azad, 22, who plays Padma Patil in the “Harry Potter” film series remains in hiding. She refused to appear in a London court and press charges, no doubt because she knows there’s no way the British police can protect her. It is open Islamic season on Ms. Azad.CHANGE!

Gateway Pundit "We’re starting to see a pattern here…
"When the Iraqi people were being slaughtered in the street Obama said genocide was preferable to continued US presence in the region.

A Christmas Carol from Paul (The apostle)
American Thinker "A case can be made that the greatest Christmas song ever written is one with no familiar music. The tune is no longer available to us. But the lyrics -- ah, those lyrics -- well, they're actually inspired. As the Apostle Paul was writing to young Pastor Timothy about everything from order in the church to the dangers of greed, he gave us an easily overlooked but enduring Christmas nugget.

VICTORIOUS ATLAS ACTION -- SEATTLE TRANSIT REFUSES ANTI-ISRAEL BUS ADS!
Atlas Shrugs2000 "Objective achieved: Jew-hate ads dropped after Atlas exposed their hypocrisy.
And the left loves these people because...?
PRO-ISRAEL BUS ADS TO RUN IN SEATTLE COUNTERING THE HATERS
"But wait. It gets better. They have changed their ad policy. Isn't that special? They refused AFDI's pro-Israel ad. This is the heckler's veto. Truth is hate speech. This is actionable, legally actionable, IMAO. They were down with the Jew-haters until we responded with fierce truth. And then they say, never mind. "...
Alan M. Dershowitz: Finally, A Hamas Leader Admits That Israel Killed Mostly Combatants In Gaza
"Despite unprecedented efforts to avoid civilian casualties—including hundreds of thousands of leaflets, telephone calls and non-lethal, noise-making warning bombs—some civilians were killed, because Hamas deliberately hid behind civilians, using them as shields, when they fired rockets at Israeli civilians."

Merry Christmas, My Friend
Corporal James M. Schmidt, former U.S. Marine
I didn't want to leave him so quiet in the night,
this guardian of honor so willing to fight.
But half asleep he rolled over, and in a voice clean and pure,
said "Carry on, Santa, it's Christmas Day, all secure."
One look at my watch and I knew he was right,
Merry Christmas my friend, Semper Fi and goodnight.

O Holy Night "What prompts these reflections? A friend emailed a link to this performance by Celtic Woman, singing O Holy Night. I cannot hear that song without remembering those Mellette Grade School Christmas concerts. Although, of course, we didn't sound quite like this:"... |

Counterpoint: Don’t Fret, Don’t Whine
William Kristol "Reacting to this, Cassy Fiano, a conservative blogger whose Marine husband is serving in Afghanistan, asked last week: “At what point does concern [about the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell] turn into hysterics, and when does it become insulting to our honorable men and women in uniform?”
"Fiano’s advice to conservatives? Cool It. We join in her suggestion."

Russian media: The missile defense provision in the new START treaty is legally binding
Hot Air "Moscow apparently has a different view of the preamble.
"ITAR-Tass, the main Russian government information agency, reported last week: “The treaty will have a legally binding provision on the link between strategic offensive and defensive weapons and will affirm the increasing importance of this link amid the reduction of strategic offensive weapons.”
"Several Republican-authored amendments to the treaty that sought to alter the preamble were voted down, based in part on assertions that the preamble had no legal standing." Emphasis added.
We need nuclear modernization whether the treaty is ratified or not. "But the fact that the administration has revised its policy for the better is in itself no reason for any senator to endorse START. While senators may judge that the treaty deserves support on its merits, it is misguided to suggest that support is warranted as a quid pro quo for the administration’s belated decision to ramp up its investment in our nuclear defense complex. Neither Jon Kyl nor any other senator should cast a vote for START—or any other significant measure—because the president and his team have come to their senses on a matter as critical to our national security as the modernization of the weapons complex. The START treaty and beefed up funding for our nuclear enterprise are two separate issues that should remain distinct."
Spencer Abraham, chairman and CEO of the Abraham Group, was secretary of energy from 2001 to 2005.

Hope for Every Man
"We live in a world that hates God – so much so that it nailed Him to a cross. But Hope was resurrected and is there for every man today. And that is our greatest source of comfort in a world that preaches hopelessness."
