Weekend Round-Up
►Ann Coulter, on RealClear Politics (via Nickie Goomba), explains why last week cooled off, again, the hopes of the anti-Bush front. ►Michael Moore, enemy of the big corporations, is not shy to hold thousands of shares by Wall Street's sharks. Not even the Halliburton's ones.

Buckley Jr., Francis Fukuyama, Robert Kagan, William Kristol, Richard Lowry, Edward N. Luttwak, Joshua Muravchik, Richard Perle, Daniel Pipes, Norman Podhoretz, Natan Sharansky). ►Conservative wing of the Republican party loves last Bush's Supreme Court nomination, Samuel Alito, but also libertarians from Reason are glad with president's choice. To follow the developments: Patterico Pontifications, The Volokh Conspiracy e Scotus Blog. ►An amazing Victor Davis Hanson on the last issue of the City Journal. ►Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, one of Al-Qaeda's terrorists charged for being involved in Madrid's bombing, was arrested in Pakistan.

La fiaccolata per Israele in diretta su Rai.it
Per tutti i TocqueVillers (e non solo) che non potranno venire stasera a Roma per la fiaccolata pro-Israele davanti all'ambasciata iraniana, sarà possibile seguire la manifestazione in diretta sul portale Rai.it. Grazie allo speciale realizzato da RaiNet News, saranno online lo streaming video realizzato dal Tg2, la diretta dello speciale Tg3 Primo Piano, tutti i servizi del Tg1 e del Tg3 sull'argomento, le notizie e articoli di approfondimento (da domani), i video-on-demand delle trasmissioni integrali su Rai Click, gli stralci della puntata di "Porta a Porta" e gli estratti da tutte le altre trasmissione di informazione Rai, video o audio, sull'argomento. Già online su RaiNet News, invece, molti servizi trasmessi dai telegiornali nei giorni scorsi e l'intervista al direttore de "Il Foglio" Giuliano Ferrara trasmessa ieri dal Tg1. Nel desolante panorama dell'informazione italiana, questa iniziativa di RaiNet News rappresenta un'assoluta e piacevole novità.

Appuntamento a Roma

Al fianco di Israele, per la libertà e la democrazia
"Tocqueville sottoscrive e partecipa alla fiaccolata che testimonierà, sotto la sede dell’ambasciata iraniana di Roma, la volontà di combattere contro ogni forma di razzismo, di democidio, di totalitarismo. Tocqueville riunisce più di 500 blog di area liberale, conservatrice e riformatrice. La community è nata grazie al supporto della rivista Ideazione. Siamo sinceramente lieti della partecipazione del segretario DS on. Piero Fassino, ma nello stesso tempo esprimiamo gravi preoccupazioni per l’ondata neorazzista anti-israeliana e anti-americana che infanga da troppo tempo molte testate giornalistiche e molti movimenti sedicenti “progressisti” e “pacifisti” di tutto il mondo e dell’Italia. Non abbiamo dimenticato che, al tempo delle stragi della seconda Intifada, c’era chi scriveva sul secondo quotidiano italiano che la “questione ebraica” si sarebbe meglio risolta col “trasferimento degli ebrei” in Africa o Argentina, e disprezziamo il razzismo antiamericano che si respira in ogni articolo di troppa stampa. Ci sentiamo tutti israeliani e siamo al fianco di quel popolo che è stato martoriato in Europa e dall’Europa solo pochi decenni fa, e che oggi vive sotto minacce verbali gravissime e minacce nucleari ancora peggiori. La difesa, la liberazione, la tutela del popolo iraniano e dei cittadini del sud del Mediterraneo, devono passare attraverso la diffusione dei princìpi democratici liberali; la crescita economica di quelle popolazioni sarà possibile solo con una netta cesura delle relazioni pericolose con i loro leader aguzzini".

Best Steyn Ever
Mark Steyn is the best columnist on Earth. And this, published on the Spectator, is the best article written in the last months (non only by him). Here the comments on FreeRepublic. A short excerpt follows: "[...] I enjoy the politics of personal destruction as much as the next chap, and one appreciates that it’s been a long time since the heady days when Dems managed to collect the scalps of both Newt Gingrich and his short-lived successor within a few short weeks. But, as I’ve said before, one reason that the Democratic party is such a bunch of losers is because they’re all tactics and no strategy. Let’s suppose they succeed in destroying DeLay, Frist, Libby and a bunch of other names the majority of Americans aren’t familiar with. Then what? Several analysts are suggesting that the 2006 elections are shaping up like 1994, when Newt’s revolution swept the Democratic old guard from power. It’s a bit early for my reckless election predictions, but I’d bet on the Republicans holding both the House and Senate. Though the electorate was disgusted by the sheer arrogance of Democrat corruption, 1994 wasn’t just a throw-the-bums-out spasm [...]. Au contraire, it was also a throw-the-bums-in election. Voters liked the alternative — a coherent conservative agenda. It’s quite possible that the electorate will have a throw-the-bums-out attitude to the Republicans in 12 months’ time, but I’d say it’s almost completely unfeasible that they’ll be in a mood to throw the Dems in. There are not a lot of competitive Congressional districts and those that are are mostly in Democrat blue states that, if not yet red, are turning distinctly purple. The Dems’ big immovable obstacle remains their inability to articulate a set of ideas that connects with the electorate".
