Blankley: A Rising Tide of Fury

on Sun 06 May 2007 03:59 PM EDT

Whenever I refer to the threat of radical Islam, I am inundated with e-mails chastising me for unjustified alarmism (that is the polite description of the missives). This week, even the esteemed and often accurate British Economist accused me, by name, of overestimating the threat and being alarmist on the topic.
Not only do I hope they are right, but I regularly monitor the news for evidence of my error; for I have long taken to heart and applied to myself the advice that Oliver Cromwell gave to the Scottish Presbyterians: "I beseech you in the bowels of Christ think it possible you may be mistaken."
Nonetheless, while Muslim attitudes across the world are dynamic, and subtle inflections of thought are not easily captured by polling, the news continues to be not encouraging.

KUHNER: Liberal (Leftwing) Totalitariansim
by
The Bartender
on Sun 06 May 2007 11:48 AM EDT

Editor's Note: I really hate calling these people on the Left 'Liberal.' It is such a gross misnomer for the modern Leftists/ Neo-coMs in this country. Liberal means 'open minded, progressive.' The fact is, if the Left has had an original idea in the last 60 years it probably died of loneliness...
Talk radio is overwhelmingly right-leaning because it satisfies the public's growing appetite for alternative news and commentary to the liberal media establishment. If the Democrats don't like the opinions of Savage, Limbaugh or Hannity, then all they need to do is go to CNN, MSNBC, NPR, The New York Times or The Washington Post. There are countless outlets peddling the anti-war, anti-Bush mantras of the left. Kuhner, Insight Magazine

Hilton's mother, Kathy, sarcastically dismissed the judge as a publicity-seeking scoundrel, blurting out "May I have your autograph?" as he rendered his decision.
