The Jewish State in a Morally Sick World
Dennis Prager, RealClearPolitics
Let’s drop the names “Hamas” and “Israel” and make a list of the characteristics of two imaginary warring entities. We’ll call them Entity A and Entity B. Entity A: –Declares that its raison d’etre is to annihilate Entity B. –Sends missiles to explode in the most populated parts of Entity B in order to kill as many civilians as possible. –Uses families and individual civilians as human shields to protect its own leaders from attack. –Tortures and kills domestic political opponents. –Has no political or religious freedom and has no freedom of speech, press, or assembly, and no independent…

Tom Cotton, made about his faith. “The Bible teaches us no one has all the answers, only God does,” the two-term senator says in the…

Michelle Malkin, RealClearPolitics
They’ve blown it again, big time. They just can’t help themselves. During the Bush years, the open-borders movement won over bleeding hearts in the White House but alienated the American public with radical displays of La Raza (“The Race”) militancy, desecrated American flags and Che Guevara shirt-wearing, fist-thrusting marches across the country. Left-wing public relations consultants taught the amnesty mob to tone it down, turn the flags right-side up and stop threatening Reconquista. But the phony red-white-and-blue dye job didn’t last. The movement’s true extremist, entitled roots can’t…
