Thomas Sowell wrote: Time was never on our side. The risks go up exponentially the longer we wait. When the Iranian nuclear program was just getting started, it could have been destroyed before it became so big, so dispersed, and so deeply dug in underground. Now, if we wait till they actually have nuclear bombs, [...]
It’s All About Jesus
Posted in Audio Recordings, Christianity, Faith, Israel, Theology, Videos on February 20, 2012 |
I fixed the audio/video links at the bottom of the article “It’s All About Jesus.” The direct links seem unreliable in a browser (it could be the plug-ins I’m using for audio and video), so I’ve linked the series page, and you’ll have to scroll down to get to part 7. As I wrote in [...]

Jimmy Carter’s Long Delayed Second Term

Robert Spencer wrote: As the Iranian regime inches ever closer toward constructing nuclear weapons, as even Hillary Clinton has acknowledged it is trying to do, these words become more than just empty braggadocio and saber-rattling. The U.S. and Israel have one man to thank for the advent of a genocide-minded regime that considers them both [...]
Suppose I were to tell you that there were an ancient people known as the Floridians whose land was seized from them to make resort hotels and orange groves. What would be your first clue that there was something wrong here? A Badly Invented People My question: do these Floridians claim east Miami as the [...]
The Pope vs. the Bible
Posted in Christianity, Israel, Theology on March 3, 2011 |
The Pope says this: Israel’s prime minister has thanked the pope for rejecting the long-held charge that the Jewish people were responsible for killing Jesus. In a forthcoming book, Pope Benedict XVI explains that there is no biblical and theological basis to the ancient claim, which helped fuel anti-Semitism. The Second Vatican Council made the [...]
From Jihad Watch: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ministers of the Jewish state to make no comment on the political cliffhanger in Cairo, to avoid inflaming an already explosive situation. But Israel’s President Shimon Peres is not a minister. “We always have had and still have great respect for President Mubarak,” he said on [...]

I never thought I’d hear Fidel Castro say something like this: Fidel Castro said Cuba’s economic model no longer works, a U.S.-based journalist reported on Wednesday following interviews with the former president last week. Jeffrey Goldberg, a writer for the Atlantic Monthly magazine, wrote in a blog that he asked Castro, 84, if Cuba’s model [...]

Technically I’m still on a blogging vacation, but I’m back from my “real” vacation. I’m just popping in real quick and back out again. I went swimming in the Atlantic Ocean last week, and in Lake Michigan just a few days after that. The big news here is that Lake Michigan is a lot colder [...]

This is pretty good. :) Flotilla Choir presents: We Con the World (video) Not recommended for the humor-impaired. (If your state is blue, that might be you.) Update Israel has apologized for distributing this video to journalists: Israel Apologizes for Music Video Mocking Gaza Flotilla That’s too bad.
Melanie Phillips on yesterday’s Gaza flotilla ambush: The notion — uncritically swallowed by the lazy, ignorant and bigoted BBC and other western media — that the flotilla organisers are ‘peace activists’ is simply ludicrous. This research by the Danish Institute for International Studies details the part played by the IHH in Islamist terror in Afghanistan, [...]
This is from last week; I forgot to post it! Robert Spencer writes: A Muslim student at the University of California at San Diego last week endorsed a new genocide of Jews. Although one can only imagine the media hue and cry had a conservative student said this, the liberal media has not found Jumanah [...]

So actually, the Qu’ran doesn’t mention Jerusalem by name at all. Not one single [...]
