You are probably aware that I am a big supporter of Hillsdale College in Michigan. And that one of their main claims to fame is that they do not accept one red cent of government money; that enables them to teach the liberal arts exactly the way those arts should be taught. Hillsdale's refusal …

How are Homosexual Activists like Islamist Terrorists?
...and, for that matter, like most big Liberal groups and organizations. If someone disagrees with them, or seems to threaten them in any way, they try to (and sometimes do) destroy them. They can't simply write an op-ed in the New York Times or Washington Post. No, they undertake boycott campaigns against businesses which deny their …

A Spring Trip to Colorado
Last month, we flew to Denver for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. The subject was Churchill, and how his life and accomplishments are relevant to us today. We listened to many great speakers, and met fellow Hillsdale supporters. Here is what we saw from our hotel room when we woke up the first day …
Are you thinking of going to Medical School? Take this into account first
A couple of weeks ago, there was a story in the Wall Street Journal entitled "Medical-School Test Gets a Revamp". No kidding! The first paragraph reads (sorry, no link, as this is behind the WSJ paywall): "The essay section is out and sociology is in, and test-takers will need to be as familiar with psychology …

As Usual, Dave Carter on Ricochet Says it Better
The title of his piece is "Tolerance and the Despot". The subject is what liberals call Tolerance, but what is really Tyranny. I recommend that all of my readers and followers head on over to Ricochet and read Dave's post. Thank you all. Oh, and I heartily recommend that you join Ricochet. The people there are …

Connections…Sport fans riot; Mob rule; and Liberalism
I was reading this weekend the story of what happened in Lexington, Kentucky, when the University of Kentucky basketball team, undefeated during the regular season, lost their Final Four match to Wisconsin. There were riots in the streets, with college students tipping over cars and setting fires, to express their anger at their team's loss. …

What Happened to the Black People in Jazz?
Last evening, my husband and I went to a concert given by the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, and as usual we were treated to a wonderful evening of exciting jazz big-band music. The group has been around for 20 years, playing the music of all the great names in jazz. Here is a picture of …
What the Op-ed Writers Don’t Get about Obama’s Economy
Last week, Michael Solon wrote an op-ed essay in the Wall Street Journal entitled "What Democrats and the CBO Don't Get". He was talking about how the administration's actions relating to the economy are not leading to economic growth, which is the best way to increase federal revenues and improve conditions for Americans. However, none …

In My Considered (Jewish) Opinion…Something controversial in the title: ISLAM IS EVIL
Islam is simply an evil religion. Witness what occurred in Paris today.(now, yesterday, updated Friday). This in response to cartoons, for heaven's sake! Islam's holy book advocates forced conversion or murder for "apostates" and unbelievers. All over the world, Muslim radicals are murdering innocent civilians, taking hostages in coffee shops, and kidnapping school girls and selling …
Coarsening the Culture
It started with an essay in the (supposedly) high-minded publication for Wall Street Journal subscribers, WSJ Magazine. This comes out every other month in the print edition, and is a slick magazine designed to appeal to high-income readers. It is filled with ads for expensive clothing, watches, and jewelry, and features stories about people and …
