mountain.”
Americans, Englis...

Sultan Knish: Partisan Nation
The use of the IRS to target conservative groups should be the least surprising development in years. Not only does that sort of thing date back to Clinton and JFK, both of whom unleashed the IRS on their enemies, not to mention Nixon who never managed to...

Sultan Knish: The Obama-Media War
Revolutions are rarely undone from the outside. Mostly they come apart from the inside as the forty thieves descend into petty squabbling over the loot.
The loot comes in different forms, but at its core it is always power. It may be the power to kill ...

Sultan Knish: Radicals, Moderates and Islamists
The radical-moderate continuum that has defined the dialogue on Islam in the War on Terror is not an authentic perspective, it is an observer perspective.
To the Western observer, a suicide bomber is radical, a Muslim Imam willing to perform gay weddin...

Sultan Knish: The End of Competition
The American Dream does not actually require a red, white and blue flag or a dream. What it requires is a willingness to accept messiness.
Messiness is another word for chaos. And no one likes chaos. Chaos means that in the richest country in the world...

Sultan Knish: Friday Afternoon Roundup - Take a Penny, Take a Country
From Maksim at the People's Cube
PINING FOR THE OASES
Two years ago, Obama had declared that he was the defender of Benghazi, protecting it against a massacre that was never going to happen. And once Benghazi was liberated to be under Al Q...

Sultan Knish: #FreeJahar and the Media's #FreeJihad
The media, in one of its bursts of manufactured moral panic, has turned its eye on the teenage girls tweeting and tumblring away in support of Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Serial killers have always had their fan clubs. Before the Boston Mar...

Sultan Knish: The Post-Obama Democratic Party
Two elections ago, the Democratic Party was on the verge of being torn to shreds. After a long series of dirty tricks and one stolen election later, there was an uncomfortable coming together.
Obama and his cronies kept most of the important positions,...

Sultan Knish: Put Not Your Trust in Politicians
The most obvious lessons of the defeat of gun control and the push for illegal alien amnesty is that politicians don't matter. People do.
The Tea Party invested its energy into electing the right people, but as Rick Scott and Marco Rubio showed us, the...

Sultan Knish: With Blood on Their Hands
Lady Macbeth may have been one of literature's most famous villains, but at least she had the guilty conscience to eventually try and wash the blood off her hands. Even if by then it was much too late.

It is doubtful that Hil...

Sultan Knish: Friday Afternoon Roundup - Hearts and Minds
HEARTS AND MINDS
The Benghazi hearings sucked most of the oxygen in the room on the right, which is why the press conference on the next day by SEAL families and military experts on the Seal Team Six attack got little attention from the conservative me...

Sultan Knish: The Playgrounds of War
America is becoming a more tolerant nation, we are told. Each new thing that we learn to tolerate makes us more progressive. But tolerance is a relative thing. For every new thing we learn to tolerate, there is a thing that we must stop tolerating.

Sultan Knish: The Road to Nowhere
The Heritage Institute report estimates that under amnesty the average legalized illegal household will take in $43,900 in benefits while paying a little over a third of that in taxes. Those numbers are grim from the standpoint of a tottering economy bein...

Sultan Knish: The Burglar-Terrorist Alliance

Sultan Knish: The Muslims the Media Doesn't See
The media coverage of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has one theme and one tack. Like 30 of the 31 men on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list, they were terrorists who just happened to be Muslim.
