The silence of Hollywood in the face of murderous jihadis
American Thinker "The American entertainment community's response to Islamic challenges was set in stone when Theo Van Gogh was knifed to death in the street for offending Muslim sensibilities with his film. Hollywood's collective shrug was heard around the world. No stirring speeches, no defiant editorials, not even a passing frame in the annual memoriam Oscar tribute. No, Hollywood prefers to reserve that sacred honor for Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler's master propagandist. Amidst the stunning challenges of our time, the entertainment community is cowering under the table." Stella Paul
Immigration Rally (NYC Union Square)
Berman Post "A large portion of the rally was done in Spanish, and there were more foreign, and even communist flags, than American. As I have opined before, this is at the very least bad 'image-wise'. If you are upset that it may become more difficult for you to get and stay in the country, you would think that would mean that you like this country. "
Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin
UK Telegraph "Dale McAlpine was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of “sins” referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships. The 42-year-old Baptist, who has preached Christianity in Wokington, Cumbria for years, said he did not mention homosexuality while delivering a sermon from the top of a stepladder, but admitted telling a passing shopper that he believed it went against the word of God."
DeMint: "President Obama Thinks Americans are Stupid" (Why should I respect voters stupid enough to vote for me?)
Human Events "...President Barack Obama is “just trying to use the mainstream media to confuse the American people. The fact is I think he thinks Americans are stupid, and he’s going to play this out until he gets a headline in every paper that Republicans are obstructionist.” DeMint was referring to the President’s claims that Republicans were obstructing a deal on the Senate’s so-called financial reform bill."

UN: No comprehensive climate deal this year
Yahoo via Heritage: "Outgoing U.N. climate chief Yvo de Boer shot down expectations of a climate treaty this year, saying Monday that a major U.N. conference in December would yield only a "first answer" on curbing greenhouse gases." Well darn.
Pakistani Taliban Claims NYC Car Bomb
Big Government "The claim could not be immediately verified. But if it turns out to be genuine, it would be the first time the Pakistani Taliban has struck outside of South Asia. It has no known global infrastructure like al-Qaida. In at least one past instance, the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for an attack it played no role in."
Paterson: Failed Car Bomb In Times Square Is ‘Act Of Terrorism’
Ed Driscoll "The dark green Nissan Pathfinder with tinted windows was parked near the junction of 45th Street and Broadway. The location is also adjacent to the Viacom building, fuelling speculation that it might be linked to the company’s controversial South Park cartoon which recently depicted Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit. The important thing to remember about Iraq and Afghanistan is that, from the jihad’s point of view, they’re sideshows: The real battlefield is New York and Chicago and London and Paris."
A Noble, Bad Idea
Victor Davis Hanson "But three grave concerns nevertheless arise. First, the president putting forth this comprehensive agenda is not an old hawk like Reagan or the Bushes, but rather one who has apologized, bowed, and backpedaled abroad in courting enemies like Syria and Iran while snubbing old friends such as Britain and Israel. Context matters. Fairly or not, the world will see these latest pronouncements as more in line with the abstract idealism of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate than with the leader of the world’s sole superpower, on whom billions in the real world rely to keep the peace through deterrence."...
Comedian-in-Chief
Warning Signs "It says a lot about the White House press corps that a tabloid, the National Enquirer, broke the story about former Sen. John Edward’s infidelity and lies. It is now pursuing a story involving an alleged infidelity by the President during the 2008 campaign. Time, fortunately, is not on the Comedian-in-Chief’s side." Alan Caruba
Where Is the Secretary of 19 Million Cracks?
Jennifer Rubin "Where is our secretary of state? Why do we allow brutalizers of women to assume spots on the UN Commission on the Status of Women? Well, Hillary is now in the service of an administration which seeks to ingratiate itself with regimes whose laws and “values” include the notion that “to deprive little girls of conjugation with men old enough to be their grandfathers is to treat them ‘unfairly.’” For those who imagined Hillary — who never tires of counting the votes she achieved on the way to losing the Democratic presidential nomination — was a great defender of women and children, it must come as a great shock that they rank so low on her list of priorities."
Leftist Hate Merchant Bill Maher Is Owned By George Will (Video)
Gateway Pundit "Wandering on to a Sunday talk show can be dangerous for a far left hate merchant. Bill Maher needs to keep his anti-American leftist drivel on the HBO entertainment channel."
