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.

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†…
Torture the underpants bomber
Fifty eight percent of those polled favor “aggressive interrogation techniques such as waterboardingâ€Â for Umar Farouk. He should be asked who gave him the bomb, and where they gave him the bomb. We should then kill everyone in the general vicinity of where the bomb came from. Not because we cannot afford to lose a few planes and a few passengers every now and then, but because we cannot afford …
The extraordinary inanity of nation building
When first I saw slides from this presentation, I assumed them to be parody, but no, they are the real thing. The people planning this war really are this stupid, crazy, and evil.
Against Libertarian Imperialism
Faré on Distributed Republic criticizes the Rothbardians for supporting the enemies of their country. Many libertarians, after Rothbard, start from the correct assumption that one’s government is one’s first and most direct enemy, to the conclusion that one should always side with the enemies of one’s current oppressor. Rothbardians are wrong in supporting our enemies and the government is right to do something about them, the trouble is that the …
Judaism is racism, says the British Court of Appeals
A Jewish school, partially funded by the British taxpayer, has been ordered it cannot define Jews by descent, because this is “racismâ€. Unfortunately, Judaism does define Jews by descent. If the effect of the ruling was merely that Jewish institutions, being “racist†cannot receive government funding, this would not be too bad, but unfortunately, Britain prohibits “racist†association generally, so the ruling logically prohibits Jewish association generally, thus the practice …
Political correctness kills people
Section 3 of the US constitution. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Major Nidal Malik Hasan adhered to our enemies and gave our enemies aid and comfort. He then waged war against the united states, shooting 43 soldiers who were not carrying arms at the time.

Betraeus, the candidate to smash the GOP
So a general who has been conducting a losing war will unite the GOP behind everything it hates, plus a policy of continuing to lose the war for the next four years. Watch out for flying pigs.
The Cathedral and social decay
In 1984, I said the Soviet Union was falling. In November 2005, I said the mortgage market was collapsing. I was very far from being the first to say those things, but I was in a minority when I said them. And here is another prophecy:  The decline of our currency, and the our inability to rebuild the two towers, are symptoms of an illness that will bring about American …
