GEORGE ORWELL'S 1984

If you haven't read the book or seen the movie, there's no hurry. Soon you'll be living the story. As of this moment, I think we're well into the opening credits.

TO AVOID FAMILY HONOR KILLING, OHIO TEEN FLEES TO ORLANDO

Am I dreaming or is this really happening here in America? I'm afraid it is because this isn't the first time we've heard of Honor Killings here in America. It's just that we usually hear about them after the fact. Why isn't this front page, above-the-fold news across the nation?

I know that destroying America is a full-time job and all, but maybe our Muslim First Family will lend a hand. In the meantime, pray for this young woman. Atlas has the full report.

BEN STEIN: RUNNING SCARED

In an American Spectator article, Ben Stein takes us back to the day Nixon resigned. It was 35 years ago Sunday, August 9. Stein worked for Nixon and was in the room when the president gave his parting remarks.

As a result of Nixon's resignation, Stein not only figured he'd lose his job, he was certain that his life was over, that he'd never work again. Well, it didn't turn out quite that bad--Stein worked plenty in the years following.

It's a thoughtful piece and one I'm sure you'll enjoy.

NOTE: I read Stein's American Spectator article the other day. This morning I read another piece about Stein--he lost his job at the New York Times. I'm sure he'll survive.

JACK CASHILL ADDS ANOTHER DIMENSION TO THE OBAMA BIRTHER CONTROVERSY

Recently, Andrew McCarthy wrote a piece about the birther issue. In it, he made mention of a passage from Obama's book, Dreams From My Father:

“Eventually a consulting house to multinational corporations agreed to hire me as a research assistant. Like a spy behind enemy lines, I arrived every day at my mid-Manhattan office and sat at my computer terminal,” begins the passage in question. “As far as I could tell I was the only black man in the company.”

When I read the passage, I thought of Jack Cashill, hoping he'd enter the controversy with his considerable knowledge of Obama's past. Well, Jack read the same article and decided to jump in. It's about time, Jack!

BILL O'REILLY CHALLENGED ON OBAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE STORY...AGAIN

From Family Security Matters' Margaret Hemenway:

On Bill O'Reilly's FOX News show, O'Reilly reassured his viewers that there is nothing to the Obama birth certificate controversy, that it is bogus, and so forth. He said,

".....The Factor investigated. Found out that it's bogus.....and again, we found that President Obama was born in Hawaii. We sent (for) the documents....."

Later in the same show, O'Reilly repeated this assurance after a segment with Ann Coulter:

".....As we mentioned, The Factor debunked the whole Birth Certificate deal more than a year ago. It was easy. The State of Hawaii sent us a copy of the document. End of story."

HOW DANGEROUS IS LIBERALISM?

Take a look at our country today, note the shape it's in and the direction it's headed, and I think you'll get a very good idea just how dangerous liberalism is. Malcolm Muggeridge, a man who knows a little more about the subject than most, explains how destructive he thinks it is. From Firing Line:

If you're a fan of Buckley, here's a recent article from The Atlantic: Daredevil.
