Attitude, Gratitude, Beatitude
The attitude of gratitude conduces to beatitude. Can it be said in plain Anglo-Saxon? Grateful thoughts lead one to happiness. However you say it, it is true. The miserable make themselves miserable by their bad thinking; the happy happy by their correct mental hygiene. Broad generalizations, these. They admit of exceptions, as goes without saying. …

Keith Olbermann Suspended From MSNBC for Campaign Contributions
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I mean that ironically, of course. The guy is a first-class moral defective. This stupid attack on the sweet and avuncular Dennis Prager as a "right-wing yakker" and "worst person in the world" is a clear example of his leftist scumbaggery. There is a very simple distinction between…

‘People of Color’
I just heard Dennis Prager use this PC expression. I should send that boy an e-mail the gist of which would be: "If you are a conservative, don't talk like a liberal. Language matters." It's an asinine expression like so many leftist coinages. I won't repeat my reasons.

Conservative Activism, The Left’s Incomprehension, and the Genetic Fallacy (2010 Version)
'Conservative activism' has an oxymoronic ring to it. Political activism does not come naturally to conservatives, as I point out in The Conservative Disadvantage. But the times they are a 'changin' and so I concluded that piece by saying that we now need to become active. "Not in the manner of the leftist who…

Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Islamic Moderate?
Spencer Case, on his way home from Afghanistan, e-mails: I recently wrote a column on Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the supposed Islamic moderate. It's been a long time since I've written a column that was really controversial, but this might break the dry spell. I hope you will share it with your readers not only for…

Arizona Citizenship Proof Law for Voters Overturned by Court
Here. Excerpt, emphasis added: A three-judge panel of the court, in a 2-1 decision, said the proof-of-citizenship requirement conflicted with the intent of the federal law aiming to increase voter registration by streamlining the process with a single form and removing state- imposed obstacles to registration. The federal law requires applicants to “attest to their citizenship…

Again on “Muslims Attacked Us on 9/11”
This just over the transom in response to a post from yesterday. Your terminology is technically correct, but what is incorrect with the statement "Muslim extremists attacked us on 911"? One does not have to be ‘politically correct’ to have a desire not to invite misunderstanding of a statement (that it equals: " Muslims-as-a-group attacked…

“Muslims Attacked Us on 9/11”
The above statement by Bill O'Reilly caused some fat liberal ladies to stomp off in protest. You know the story. But what's to be offended at? Consider 1. The people who attacked us on 9/11 were Muslims. True or false? True. Truth is truth; if you are offended by it the problem is yours alone. …

My Rabbi
I am not now, and never have been, a Jew either religiously or ethnically, and it is certain that I shall never become one ethnically, and exceedingly probable that I shall never become one religiously. But if I were a Jew, and if Dennis Prager were a rabbi, then I should like to have him…

The Liberal Debating Manual
From the The Liberal Debating Manual (San Francisco: PeeCee Publishers, 2010): No matter what position your conservative opponent takes on any issue, choose one or more epithets from the following list and label him with it: Racist, bigot, fascist, sexist, intolerant, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic. Mix and match, and repeat as necessary. Never ever engage conservative arguments. …
