Government commissions are where accountability goes to die.
Ilana Mercer
Still - and for all Obama's heavy hinting to the contrary - Islam has no human rights. The ideas of individual rights and the dignity of man are distinctly Western, an outgrowth of the Enlightenment. And while dialogue is dignified dhimmitude is not, even if it achieves a desired, if temporary, effect.
Ilana Mercer
Islamic terrorism is the handiwork of people who've heeded, not hijacked, Islam. Or so says [Wafa] Sultan.

Barack the boy was raised by his white maternal grandparents his Kenyan father abandoned him. The qualities Americans appeared to find universally appealing in the ambitious, affable Obama - his confidence and calm, and his commitment to community and kin, education and excellence - these came from Kansas, not Kenya.

The proposition that economist Ludwig von Mises was a feminist is an apodictic impossibility.
Ilana Mercer
The Democratic and Republican parties each operates as a necessary counterweight in a partnership designed to keep the pendulum of power swinging in perpetuity from the one set of colluding quislings to the other, and back.

The National Education Association is the al-Qaida of education.

Big media are all about the angle, the spin. Look to the overarching theme that runs through each and every news story. Be hip to the meta-narrative peddled.

But public works, economic protectionism, cheap money, deficit-financed government spending, and the animal spirits of the spendthrift in the service of boosting consumption demand... Doesn't Keynesianism simply appeal to the worst in human nature?
Ilana Mercer
Demographics need not be destiny. The waning West became what it is not by out-breeding the undeveloped world. We were once great not because of huge numbers, but due to human capital - people of superior ideas and abilities, capable of innovation, exploration, science, philosophy.
Ilana Mercer
The rights to life, liberty and property were not meant to be subject to the vagaries of majority rule.
Ilana Mercer
Gays have become colossal bores. Once interesting and iconoclastic, all they seem to crave nowadays is the State's pension and seal of approval. They ought to go back to the days of the Stonewall Riots, when the police's violations of privacy and private property were the object of their anger and activism.
Ilana Mercer
The only kind of marriage liberals had ever glorified is the gay kind. But thanks to Michael Schiavo, the sanctity of marriage is fast becoming a liberal sacrament, with the proviso it has to involve 'mercy killing.' It took Michael Schiavo's devoted efforts to starve and dehydrate his wife to restore liberal faith in the institution.

The much-maligned price system works not only to secure supply but to conserve. [...] Profits and prices are the street signs of the economy. Only fools flout them.
Ilana Mercer
Think of lab rats racing through a maze, when you watch the sub-intelligent, dual-panel 'dialogue' conducted on the teli. Each rat runs with a designated, neatly bifurcated (Republican or Democratic) political orthodoxy. Each is a 'maze-bright' rat, and not the possessor and giver of any truth.

Mistaking Palestinian military weakness for moral innocence seems to further amplify the inattention of journalists to the culture of lies.
Ilana Mercer
Incarcerating people for their [drug] consumption choices has the consistency of arresting a survivor of suicide for attempted murder.

Jefferson never entertained the folly that he was of immigrant stock. He considered the English settlers of America courageous conquerors, much like his Saxon forebears, to whom he compared them. To Jefferson, early Americans were the contemporary carriers of the Anglo-Saxon project.

A brave nation fights only because it must a cowardly nation fights because it can.

B.B. King is no match for Johann Sebastian Bach.
