Your government's jihadi-protection program Friday November 13, 2009 by Ilana Mercer -- To claim you correspond with an al-Qaida recruiter for purposes of "research" is like saying you read Playboy magazine for the articles.

Southern rubes aren't racists after all? Friday November 06, 2009 by Ilana Mercer -- Blanket charges of racism have become the stock-in-trade of the liberal media in reporting on town-hall protesters.

He, and 60 percent of the Dutch population, "considers mass immigration to be the worst mistake since the Second World War."
