In yet another example of why the west might not beat the onslaught of radical Islamofascism, Minette Marrin of the Timesonline thinks she has found a solution to the clash of cultures.

It shows that a quarter think women are not equals to men. The poll also shows that, among other results, 57% believe Muslim soldiers in the British army should be allowed to opt out of the war on terror. This alarming YouGov poll will be released on Monday, July 28. To sum up, Marrin says of the poll:

I got Mike Huckabee’s Book from “Hope to Higher Ground.” in hopes of understanding the candidate better, particularly as he has become one of the frontrunners for 2012.

What’s interesting about Huckabee’s books is that Huckabee doesn’t use ghost writers. Unlike …

Tom at Fort Boise has an interesting theory as to why to believe Anita Hill:
Ask yourself, “why would she lie?” And then ask yourself why would he lie. Which is more likely? More in character? Sixteen years after the …

I’m not the only one with an opinion on the State of the Union or who was live blogging it. Here’s the final thoughts of some big time (and not so big time) Bloggers:

Wow! I continually get surprised by the posts that take off. Lightning strikes unreliably. Today all the rage is about this post on the left side of the Blogosphere’s blackmail and intimidation.
