My name is Fred and I am a gay conservative living in Ottawa. This blog supports limited government, the right of the State of Israel to live in peace and security, and tries to expose the threat to us all from cultural relativism, post-modernism, and radical Islam.

A Must-Read!

I just finished Natan Sharansky's The Case for Democracy. What a terrific book. His section on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is excellent. Sharansky never felt it was possible for Israel to make peace with a dictatorial Palestinian Authority. His view was that while Palestinian elections are nice, it would have been better to have a 3-year period to build up some democratic institutions...and then have elections. Sharansky was a party to many of the peace negotiations, and has some good stories to tell. Read the book, please!
