How many Muslims are moderate? In the recent Iraq election, moderates gained, just barely, a plurality. Not a majority, a plurality. To govern, they will need the support of some violently immoderate people. They have a plurality because the various different kinds of extremist hate each other, splitting the extremist vote.

The Obamized future
America was the place where the future was created. All the world depended on America for progress. It ceased to be that place under Clinton, and things got worse under Bush. We cannot rebuild the two towers, we no longer have a human presence in space, and the next big thing on the internet, networked money that bypasses our legacy banking system, is coming from China, and, God-help-us, Africa. Remember …
No men on the left
A leftist women, who merely wants humans to return to the stone age, was publicizing her book criticizing the far left, who want to get rid of humans altogether (They want the stone age with no killing of non human animals, an arrangement where one’s life expectancy would be measured in weeks.) A bunch of far leftists attacked her. They did not throw pies at her, they punched her with …
Allies and enemies
You will observe that Obama regime is full of noisy outrage that Israel is building housing in Jerusalem, most of which will be occupied by Jews, as Israel has been doing for the past forty years, ever since it seized the rest of Jerusalem and announced that all of Jerusalem, Jerusalem undivided, was the eternal and indivisible capital of the nation of Israel. Compare and contrast with Obama’s “quiet diplomacy†…
Pedestalization of women
Roissy, in one of his many excellent political posts, asks Why Do Conservatives Sanctify Women? The correct answer, which he misses, is that they hanker for a world in which women stayed on pedestals instead of sneaking off to bang strange males.
The boot comes down hard on the Institute of Physics
As you doubtless know by now, the Institute of Physics gave a wonderfully politically incorrect report on Global Warming. Predictably the boot came down on them hard. Academia is indeed like a communist country. They don’t shoot dissidents in Academia, but communist thought control seldom found it necessary to shoot people. It mostly worked by quietly blighting the lives of troublesome people.Â
Exegesis on the Institute of Physics report on the CRU emails
The Institute of Physics tells us. The Institute is concerned that, unless the disclosed e-mails are proved to be forgeries or adaptations, worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research in this field and for the credibility of the scientific method as practised in this context. In plainer words, climate science lacks credibility. That climate scientists tell us we are doomed unless we repent of our sins against Gaea …
Natural law and natural rights
Doc Zero attributes the modern idea of natural law to Hobbes. This is backwards. Hobbes originated the modern idea of facism. It was John Locke that originated the modern idea of natural rights deriving from natural law.
Physics calls out climate science
The institute of physics is arguably the most prestigious scientific institution. It has told us that climate science is not scientific, that the climategate emails are big deal. … unless the disclosed e-mails are proved to be forgeries or adaptations, worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research in this field and for the credibility of the scientific method as practised in this context. The CRU e-mails as published …
