Islamic terrorism: what’s in a name?

The New Neo Posted on June 13, 2016 by neoJune 13, 2016

It’s an old old story: the left refuses to name this enemy. Either they can’t even say the word “terrorist,” or they certainly can’t use any modifier that implies that Islam has anything to do with it. And Obama, as … Continue reading →

The new anti-Semitism

The New Neo Posted on June 11, 2016 by neoJune 11, 2016

I’ve been online for about 20 years, and it’s a huge part of my life these days. It started small, as many habits do. I wanted to look up information on the nerve injuries I had, and the internet provided … Continue reading →

Language has become so imprecise that…

The New Neo Posted on May 31, 2016 by neoMay 31, 2016

…a lot of people don’t even seem to know what the word “vagina” means. Now that I’ve got your attention— But really, if they knew, would they be able to write stuff like this?: You’re a busy gal, so when … Continue reading →

Cruz vs. Donald

The New Neo Posted on April 13, 2016 by neoApril 13, 2016

Here’s an interesting interview with Ted Cruz, worth listening to. But right now I’m particularly interested in the part between minutes 11:17-12:00, when Cruz talks about calling Trump “Donald.” I have a very good friend who pointed out this phenomenon … Continue reading →

Hand writing

The New Neo Posted on March 24, 2016 by neoAugust 1, 2021

[NOTE: This is a lightly-edited repeat of a post of mine that was first published in 2008.] This Atlantic article by Nicholas Carr is a recommended read, about the reported loss of concentration and patience for absorbing longer works that … Continue reading →

Here’s that analysis of the Christie-Rubio bout, blow by blow—but it’s applicable to arguments in general

The New Neo Posted on February 13, 2016 by neoMarch 17, 2020

The research for this post started a day or two after the pre-NH debate, after I—like so many others—had watched Marco Rubio seemingly self-destruct and repeat himself over and over even though that’s exactly what Christie was attacking him for. … Continue reading →

My advice to Rubio for tomorrow night’s debate

The New Neo Posted on February 12, 2016 by neoFebruary 12, 2016

Tomorrow, you say? There’s another debate already? Yes, more’s the pity (I don’t like debates). So I’m offering the following as advice to Marco Rubio for the debate. I hope he gets it (and if any of you knows how … Continue reading →

Ted Cruz and tone

The New Neo Posted on February 10, 2016 by neoFebruary 10, 2016

There’s been quite a bit of talk about a recent appearance of Ted Cruz’s at a New Hampshire church, where he tells the sad story of his half-sister and her addictions. A lot of people who’ve seen the video have … Continue reading →

What with this “schlonged” business?

The New Neo Posted on December 22, 2015 by neoJanuary 27, 2016

Trump has now scandalized people by using a Yiddish expression to describe what happened to Hillary Clinton at the hands of the Obama forces back in 2008: She was favored to win and she got schlonged, she lost. Now, for … Continue reading →

Parsing Obama’s speech

The New Neo Posted on December 7, 2015 by neoDecember 7, 2015

Everybody’s analyzing the speech Obama gave last night. Its beauty or lack thereof was in the eye of the beholder, although even admirers of Obama weren’t what you’d call wildly enthusiastic. But I’m going to do something nobody else is … Continue reading →

Here’s the speech Obama made today addressing the San Bernardino attacks

The New Neo Posted on December 5, 2015 by neoDecember 5, 2015

President Obama used his regular weekly address to discuss the San Bernardino shootings, which now have been categorized—although not by Obama—as the worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. He offered very tepid stuff in terms of the terrorist … Continue reading →

Yes, these attacks have a great deal to do with Islam

The New Neo Posted on November 25, 2015 by neoNovember 25, 2015

The current meme of the left that terrorist attacks “have nothing to do with Islam” is absurd on the face of it, an example of the tried and true Big Lie technique. And yet, as so often happens with Big … Continue reading →
