Learning About Islam

This is probably the most diverse place outside of the UN. Just walking from the front door to the newsroom, I hear conversations in at least five different languages. We have 52 language services and usually employ broadcasters from the countries in which the languages are spoken.

So, coming in tonight, I saw something I'd never seen before -- a Muslim woman smoking. I don't know why I thought that wasn't allowed, maybe because I'd never seen it before. I know that when away from their homelands, Muslims do decidedly un-Muslim things. I used to instruct at an air base where Iranian pilots were trained. They partied with the best of them. There was something called the "Iranian Swoop," which described their reaction when a single (alone) woman walked into a bar.

So, I went looking and stumbled across -- of all things -- an Arab dating site. Who'da thunk it?

She forgot to mention someone who doesn't beat his wife. There was another ad there that actually did. Oh, and notice that she's been in this country for 21 years and still doesn't have her english down. So much for assimilation.

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
