Of Course, It’s About “Fairness”
If I hear President Obama or his supporters tell me one more time that raising taxes on the “rich” is only a matter of “fairness,” it is quite possible that my head will explode. As it turns out, you see, I could very well be what they call rich; not that any real people ...Read More...

What’s Wrong with Obama’s Israel Speech?
Okay, we have heard it again and again since President Barack Obama’s May 19 speech on the Middle East. The President’s backers keep telling us that he added nothing new when in that speech he said that a Mideast peace agreement would be based on the 1967 Israeli borders with “mutually ...Read More...

Verdict on “Anti-Muslim Riot” Exposes Human Rights Bias
When I tell people I do human rights work, they immediately assume I am some sort of leftist. (Now, if people also know that I have a Ph.D. from an Ivy League University, live in Chicago, am a vegetarian, and am also Jewish; it seems impossible for me to be anything else.) Their assumption is ...Read More...

Hope and Change: 2010
A big question on many minds the day after last week's election was whether its results will bring cooperation among Democrats and Republicans to move America forward or gridlock and a lack of progress; but there is a more important question that must be answered first: Will House and Senate Tea ...Read More...

Corruption and Neglect in West Bengal Dooms Bhadrakali Women�s Camp Refugees
A sign hanging over the entrance to the Bhadrakali Women's Camp in West Bengal (WB) states that since 1969, the camp has been affiliated with the United Central Refugee Council, a wing of the ruling Communist Party (CPIM). Yet, far from being treated as protected wards, camp residents are seen ...Read More...

As if we needed more evidence�
We all remember how liberals tried to justify their recent bailout to states and localities. It was going to do things like save teachers' jobs and pay for all sorts of other "needed" services. But its real impact was to enable the ever-increasing out of control spending we have at the state ...Read More...

Democrats turning tail in the Land of Obama
For weeks, the Jewish community of Chicago’s North and Northwest suburbs had been looking forward to hearing their candidates for the US House and Senate debate one another in a “Candidates Forum” about Israel, the Middle East, and related security matters. While the community ...Read More...

Islamization of Northeast India no Coincidence
On February 15, 2010, I sat in a cab while it made its way through a traffic-clogged Kolkata to the office of Bimal Pramanik director of the Kolkata-based Centre for Research in Indo-Bangladesh Relations. Pramanik expressed serious concerns about the decades-long pattern of demographic changes ...Read More...

Left ignores real human rights victims
Whenever I tell people I “do human rights work,” they automatically assume I am some sort of leftist. People who know me find that hilarious; but it is rather tragic at the same time because it reflects the fact that the left has imposed its own definition of what does and does not ...Read More...

And I'll thank you not to call me a RINO
Conservatives are at a crossroads, poised to do one of two things. We will take back our country and restore the values and policies that have made us great; or we will blow that historic obligation out of our own sense of hubris. One of the most devastating mistakes made by the Obama administration ...Read More...

Kerry Pushing Same Nonsense
