You Wanna Talk Softball Questions?? »

This was a recent blurb at memeorandum.com regarding the big Cheney interview on Sunday by Chris Wallace of Fox News: Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish: Chris Wallace, A Teenage Girl Interviewing The Jonas Brothers — Here are the tough and penetrating questions asked by Chris Wallace of a man whose [...]

“Swimmers Should Wear ‘Burkinis’” »

Let me say right up front that I have absolutely nothing against Islam or Muslims in general. I certainly do not agree with the more conservative Muslim views on women, though. Not only does this article focus on conservative Muslims, Swimmers Are Told To Wear Burkinis, but the impact they have on non-Muslim [...]

Blackwater (Xe) Should Roll No More »

Many of us were up in arms that Blackwater, a private “security” force was sent to Iraq, and New Orleans, while being paid handsomely with our tax dollars. There were a number of concerns with Blackwater, particularly how they were operating in Iraq with impunity, accused of being a bunch of cowboys shooting up [...]

Soldiers And WORMS »

(bumped up from yesterday)
As some of you know, my mother suffered a stroke recently. I am currently in my home town spending time with her and getting her house in order. As a result, I rushed a recent post on “DADT” I wrote in order to get to the nursing center in a timely [...]

More On The Soldier And The Doctor »

I saw the post linked below at memeorandum.com, and wanted to share it with you. Before that, though, let me just say that I have absolutely nothing against Muslims, or Islam. Islam, like most other world religions, gets a bad rap from its more fanatical fringe practitioners. The majority of Muslims are [...]

The Plot Thickens… »

As it turns out, the domestic terrorist, Abdulhakim Muhammad, who targeted Army soldiers outside of a recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas may not be acting independently after all. This is disturbing, to say the least. Here’s the latest on what has been discovered about him, some more details about Private Long, and [...]

Who Cares About This Killing? »

This was not the murder of a doctor, nor did it have anything to do with the issue of being pro/anti-choice. No, this time it was a young Army private, gunned down outside a military recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas, of all places. Another Army private was also shot, but is [...]

Policy in Afghanistan »

I have been asked to "put up or shut up" about Afghanistan. In other words, I have been asked to make clear my views on an appropriate US policy for Afghanistan.  I thought I had done that, but, no matter.
I think that we Americans need to stop exaggerating the level of threat to the [...]

Some Celebration »

On International Women’s Day, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan addressed women in his country:
With every step forward that women in Afghanistan take, violent incidents highlight the fact many still struggle for basic human rights eight years after the ouster of the conservative Taliban regime.

“The Impending Obama Meltdown” »

Earlier in the week, one of my aunts sent me a piece by Victor Davis Hanson, The Impending Obama Meltdown (SusanUnPC also included this article in her excellent piece, “Is Barack Obama On The Precipice Of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“). I don’t want to be premature, but maybe, just maybe, there are some journalists coming [...]

A Matter of Degrees »

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not [...]

Alcee Hastings loses his right to call others bigoted »

Remember Alcee Hastings? He’s a US Representative from FL who was impeached when a federal judge and subsequently voted into Congress (HOW does that happen?). Need a reminder? During a trial for bribery and perjury, Hastings was acquitted after a co-conspirator refused to testify.
From Wikipedia:
In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives [...]

Burn Baby, Burn »

What does it take to get into Harvard Law School? According to its website, some 8000 applicants compete for 500 openings each year: those accepted have nearly perfect LSAT scores and a GPA of at least 3.8. This isn’t a recent increase in difficulty; acceptance into Harvard Law has always been difficult. In [...]

Tired, Stressed or Distracted? »

I am sure that John McCain, Joe Biden, and Sarah Palin will have their share of misstatements and verbal faux pas. And there is no denying Barack Obama has had more than his share–i.e., his comment about having visited 57 states with one to go comes to mind. But what the hell was [...]

New Yorker Cover Cartoon NOT a Satire? »

It is being reported today that Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times has in his possession a tape recording of an interview he once had with Barack Obama that may be very damaging to the latter’s campaign for the presidency.
The tape (and the transcript of it) stem from a [...]

Obama and the Evangelicals, The Saga Continues »

The Seattle Times the other day published an article, “How Obama Is Courting The New Evangelicals,” by David Domke, a journalism professor at the University of Washington in Spokane. The article is in response to James Dobson’s recent commentaries about Obama and his pandering to Evangelicals, as well as Obama’s out-doing Bush on spending [...]

Barack is not Qualified »

Ah, it is “feel the love” day. American Prospect put up a piece by David Weigle with the catchy title, Larry Johnson’s Strange Trip that strongly suggests nobody likes me. The rightwingers hate me (Rush called me a “leftwing hack”) and the “progressives?” They are in full meltdown.
And then I got this [...]

The Birth of Whitey: Black Liberation Theology and The Nation of Islam »

Jesus says, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45

While researching the source of Michelle Obama’s alleged “whitey” rant, [...]

Obama Throws Muslims Under the Bus Too »

It’s Headscarves-gate.
Barack Obama is going to great lengths to distance himself from his father and step-father’s Muslim backgrounds. He even joined a radical so-called Christian church and was a member for 20 years just to dispel the notion. But now that he is a big shot Presidential candidate he has taken this distancing stuff to [...]

Brit Hume Raises the Question of Barack Obama’s Muslim Background »

Caption: “Malik holds a photo of Obama and him in Muslim dress, reportedly when the two first met in 1985.” (This image is published at the Israeli Insider and was displayed today by Fox News anchor Brit Hume.)
To be clear: We at No Quarter have no concerns about Barack Obama having had a Muslim background; [...]
