Did American Military Overinvolvement Hasten Europe’s Cultural Decay?
By Chuck Roger • August 16th, 2011 12:00 am
Originally at American Thinker By Chuck Rogér It has always seemed to me that the argument for American military intervention in other nations rests on shaky ground. Contending that the United States must “police” the world, “build” nations, “spread” democracy, and “fight” for other people’s freedom sounds convincing, even lofty. But sacrificing human and economic treasure to fight for [...]
CAIR Wants Homeland Security to Silence ‘Fear-Mongers’
By Chuck Roger • June 7th, 2011 12:00 am
Originally at American Thinker, May 28, 2011 By Chuck Rogér Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a May 24 joint meeting of Congress, “Militant Islam threatens the world. It threatens Islam.” Netanyahu was specifically referring to Iran’s potential use and proliferation of nuclear weapons throughout the Islamic terrorist network. Yet the Prime Minister’s statement applies [...]
Liberals use doctrine of moral equivalence to vilify America and Christians
By Chuck Roger • August 31st, 2010 3:09 am
The liberal or “progressive” dogma of moral equivalence produces some of the most absurd comparisons imaginable. Let’s briefly analyze questions asked recently by Michel Martin, who works for the taxpayer-funded outfit known as National Public Radio. In a discussion of the Ground Zero Mosque on CNN, Martin asked: Did anybody move a Catholic church? Did [...]
Forget the population bomb; a population whimper could kill us

As Western fertility rates drop, America stands in sparse company in its ability to grow the population purely through births to existing citizens. How long after this study by Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Steven Malanga becomes widely known do you suppose it will be before some angry-faced liberal whines about the evils of America and [...]
Dishonest, biased, left moral relativist Southers will run TSA–any surprise here?
By Chuck Roger • January 13th, 2010 11:47 pm
Today a reader shot me a video link for an interview of Obama’s TSA director pick, Erroll Southers. In the video, Southers responds to questions designed to showcase his thinking on terrorism. My reader began his email, “This has got to be some sort of joke, Chuck. Who knew? The real threat to airline safety [...]
‘Progressive’ fools and Islamic terrorism–feeling good about denying what feels bad
By Chuck Roger • December 30th, 2009 12:13 am
Moral relativism and the mushiness of “tolerance” are destroying Americans’ judgment skills. If you’ve taken offense at what Christopher Hitchens has had to say about religion in general and Christianity in particular, please let it go long enough to read this outstanding commentary. Hitchens makes precisely the same points about Islamic terrorism as those made [...]
Waiting for ‘moderate Muslims’ to step forward
By Chuck Roger • December 22nd, 2009 12:19 am
Anyone patiently waiting for “moderate Muslims” to condemn the extremism of literal interpreters of the Q’uran will not be made happy by this analysis by Islam scholar Robert Spencer. Patience and “tolerance” must have limits. And once those limits are exceeded, action must be taken. America has been lulled into passivity, a state of collective mind that [...]
Here and now

Angela Cazorla was born around 1775 in the Canary Islands. She was my fifth great-grandmother. Angela’s ancestors lived near Cazorla, Spain, 190 miles northwest of Gibraltar. The town sprang up in Roman times as Carcacena, a silver and lead mining center where Roman aristocrats profited from the slave labor of Angela’s — my — ancestors. [...]
There are two sides to every story, but the left side smells really bad
By Chuck Roger • November 18th, 2009 3:35 am
People who let dogma rule their thinking ignore the truth. Radical Islam and liberalism are the most destructive dogmas on Earth. That said, many good people are “liberal” in their leanings. I have liberal friends and acquaintances. Few places are more left-inclined than Santa Fe, New Mexico, and yet my wife and I love the [...]
