Ye shall know them by their fruits

Yesterday, the Anti-Defamation League announced their opposition to the Muslim community center to be built in lower Manhattan. The structure which opponents have labeled the “ground-zero mosque” in reality is not at ground-zero of the 9/11 horrors, nor is it exclusively a mosque, but it has become a rallying cry for bigots and opportunists who [...]

Res Sacr

Not long ago, I wrote how the Catholic church said it was unwilling to take action against clergy who had molested children. It now seems, however, the Church is more than prepared to take action against a greater heresy: Saving the life of a pregnant woman.

First, They Came for My Evening Wear…..

I actually find it hard to believe that the Miss America pageant continues to this day. It seems so antiquated and patriarchal that I had actually thought they’d discontinued it.

Students viewing a simulcast of the class at a neighboring college complained that Bitterman had denigrated their [...]

Jap Awareness Week

Ok, not quite that bad, but close. The David Horowitz Center for Freedom is sponsoring Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week on college campuses throughout the country in October.

The organizing guide for the event makes the agenda [...]
