Confessions of a Former Islamist

May 24, 2005

Unlike stories of “Christians” who murder child killers “in the name of Jesus,” this account of Islam by a former Islamist is probably close to the truth. Sad story. But hope is eternal: I serve now at the Lordâ€™s vineyard and I believe that my name is in the book of life. I wish I [...]

Lionel Tate, the 18-year old man who killed a little girl when he was 12, is just beginning a life in and out of the criminal justice system. A wasted life.

May 24, 2005

From the Washington Times: The deployment of 36,000 National Guard troops or state militia on the U.S.-Mexico border would stop the illegal flow of foreigners into America, says a congressional report that credits the Minuteman Project with proving that additional manpower could “dramatically reduce if not virtually eliminate” illegal immigration. I am pleased to hear [...]

I Don’t Care What You Say About Me…

May 21, 2005

Update (5/23): Blogging may resume later today, definitely tomorrow, readers. I’m busy earning the palace right now. By the way, I did a radio interview Saturday afternoon on KSFO in San Francisco.

Mike Krempasky of RedState.org reminds bloggers and readers that the comment period for proposed Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules is almost up.

Formula For Getting Poor

May 21, 2005

From Star Parker’s latest column in the Naples Daily News (reg. req. — To bypass, use BugMeNot): No one can devise a formula for getting rich. But I can devise a formula for getting poor. Don’t work. Convince yourself that your life reflects the decisions of others and not yours. Be the perennial victim. This [...]

Poetic Justice?

May 19, 2005

You may recall that a Boston radio station was planning to remove “Newsweek on Air” from its line-up but decided to do it sooner than planned because of the magazine’s outlandish “reporting.” Pundit Review says the station is replacing the show with one that promotes bloggers. I like it.

Some ‘Holy Books’ More Equal Than Others

May 19, 2005

Jimmie at The Sundries Shack makes an interesting observation about how the feds are required to handle the Koran: [I]t must be treated â€œlike a fragile piece of delicate art”, and that no such policy exists for the most sacred book of any other religion….That caused me to ask myself why our self-appointed First Amendment [...]

No Such Thing As Bad Publicity

May 18, 2005

Thanks to Andrew Sullivan and Howard Kurtz, my Newsweek post is causing quite a stir on the liberal side of the blogosphere. But for one update in the post, it would not have gotten much notice. Here’s the offending paragraph: Update (11:06 a.m.): Let me clear up one thing. Whether Americans flushed the Koran down [...]

The Empire is Good?

May 17, 2005

Jonathan V. Last wrote a fascinating article called, “The Case for the Empire.” Last is the online editor for the The Weekly Standard and a blogger at Galley Slaves. [Note: I didn't realize the article was written in 2002. I wondered why it was spoiler-free.] I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed Sci-Fi speculation, analysis, and [...]
