Horror Of Horrors! Jimmy Carter Identifies Obama As Wimp

by Alex Seitz-Wald.     Another day, another defection from a high-profile Democrat on President Obama’s approach to combating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Walter E Williams: Will The West Defend Itself?

The barbarians at the gate.   The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), sometimes called ISIS or IS, is a Sunni extremist group that follows al-Qaida's anti-West ideology and sees a holy war against the West as a religious duty.

Not another prolonged engagement.     "Do you have a strategy now, Mr. President?" asked the cover of the Daily News next to a photo of the second American journalist to be beheaded by the terrorist group ISIS. The impulse to "do something" to counter such evil is strong. But why do we assume that government doing something is always an ... MORE

Obama On The Islamic State: Who’s On First?

The left hand hasn’t known what the far-left hand has been doing. Or the far-left hand has had to take the left one out to the woodshed for not being       ... MORE
