Gun owners ‘get stabbed in back’
General
Offsite
Congress has given gun owners in America a Christmas gift: a blade in the back, according to officials with Gun Owners of America.
Someone’s killing country music stars
General

They sing of romance, lost love, violence, drug smuggling and cartel hitmen, and now, for some of Mexico’s country music stars, their art has brutally forced itself into their lives.
My Prayer for the Jewish People
General
Offsite
As a Zionist Muslim clergyman and a friend of the Jewish people, I cannot keep silent. I feel a moral urge to declare that the nations of the world are once again preparing bad days for the Jewish people.

The Christmas Gift in the Battleground Poll
General
Bruce Walker
Just in time for Christmas, conservatives have been given another gift: we are the overwhelming majority of America. This is not “news.” I have written an article about the Battleground Poll every time a Battleground Poll has come out since June 2002. The results are always the same: people who call themselves either “conservative” or “very conservative” constitute the overwhelming majority of all Americans.
Fund the Palestinians? Bad Idea
General
Daniel Pipes
Lavishing funds on Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority to achieve peace has been a mainstay of Western, including Israeli, policy since Hamas seized Gaza in June. But this open spigot has counterproductive results and urgently must be stopped.

Why Christmas Should Be More Commercial
General
Dr. Leonard Peikoff
Christmas should celebrate reason, selfishness and capitalism - Christmas in America is an exuberant display of human ingenuity, capitalist productivity, and the enjoyment of life. Yet all of these are castigated as “materialistic”; the real meaning of the holiday, we are told, is assorted Nativity tales and altruist injunctions (e.g., love thy neighbor) that no one takes seriously.

Hollywood’s derriere-kissing sycophants
General
Offsite
I used to believe that one of the reasons a lot of the male movie stars of the 30s and 40s drank so much was out of guilt that they were making more money in a week than most Americans earned in a year, and that even in the middle of the Great Depression they were living like royalty. But I also suspected that they turned to alcohol partly out of shame because they were engaged in what would generally have been regarded as a passive, feminine occupation – playing dress up, being told what to do and how to do it by male directors, standing by while rugged stunt men did all the heavy lifting and, worst of all, wearing makeup all the livelong day.

‘Turkey, Still a Western Ally?’
General
Daniel Pipes
"Far from being the source of anti-Americanism in Turkey, the AKP represents an ideal partner for the United States in the region.” So asserts Joshua W. Walker, a former Turkey desk officer at the State Department now studying at Princeton University, referring to the Justice and Development Party (known as the AKP). Writing in The Washington Quarterly, Walker supports his thesis by noting the constructive Turkish role in Iraq, praising “how carefully the AKP has guarded the [U.S.] alliance and tried to work with the Bush administration, particularly when compared to other European nations.”
U.S. Manufacturing Obituaries Premature
General
Heyecan Veziroglu
Instead of mischaracterizing the significance and meaning of the U.S. trade deficit and assuming that the loss of 3 million manufacturing jobs four years ago requires a tough response today, policymakers should try to attain a better understanding of the condition of U.S. manufacturing, Cato Institute policy analyst Daniel Ikenson pointed out in a Capitol Hill briefing that the think tank held recently.
