Dissent Of The Day: PHOTO
A reader writes: The reason elite opinion makers are reticent to too strongly overplay the religion card with Nidal Hasan, in a way they maybe weren't as reticent to do with George Tiller, is because Islam is a minority faith and many of its practitioners might well be subject to retaliatory violence in the wake of Fort Hood.  To "apply the same standard of inquiry and criticism to all religions" omits the important fact that there are a great many people in this country who...

Law and Order Becomes Anti-Abortion Propaganda

Re 'Two Profiles in Class' -- By: Jay Nordlinger: PHOTO
Since January 20, I have thought occasionally of that famous JFK putdown of Nixon: “No class.” I thought of it when President Obama knocked George W. Bush on foreign soil — to a group of Turkish students. I thought of it when he laughed his head off at a death-to-Rush joke. I thought of it when he told those New York donors that Republicans can’t think for themselves. And I’ve thought of it now that he has slimed conservative protesters as “teabaggers.”...

It is really sick that Westboro Baptist Church, a hate group that travels around the country holding anti-gay rallies, protested outside the school attended by President Barack Obama's children Monday morning. The so-called church is pastored by Fred Phelps and is made up of mainly his extensive family. A message on Westboro's website refers to the Obama children as "satanic spawn" of a "murderous bastard." Along with various schools, the church is also protesting outside The White House, the...

I’ve rolled my eyes to most of this stuff. It’s infuriating, yes, but everybody...
