Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Better thinkers and writers than I have tackled Bill Keller’s letter to the public justifying his blithe release of security secrets. One thing he wrote, though, stuck in my mind, and I haven’t read anyone yet who has commented on this point: It’s not our job to pass judgment on
Continue readingI think Heather MacDonald has an excellent summary of the fundamental errors lying behind the NY Times’ hubristic thinking that it is the appropriate gatekeeper of this nation’s security secrets: The bottom line is this: No classified secret necessary to fight terrorism is safe once the Times hears of it,
Continue readingNPR loves to interview RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) or CHRINOs (Christians in Name Only) to make the point that the currently self-identified Republicans or Christians are imposters who have wandered into the wilderness, abandoning true Republicanism or true Christianity. These interviewees may, of course, be correct, and those who
Continue readingMy father, who knew what he was talking about, always said, "You fight a war to win." I don't remember him having a pro or con view regarding Vietnam. I do remember that he was disgusted by the fact that the biggest military superpower in the world couldn't just go
Continue readingCheck here for another wonderful batch of photoshopped WWII posters, all aimed at exposing the LA & NY Times's reprehensible, murderous, arrogant behavior.
Continue readingThe article, at the New York Times, is called "Another Kennedy Living Dangerously." The little promo for it at the NY Times website — the one that's supposed to have you clicking over to read the full article, says "The environmentalist turns crusader and goes out on a political limb.
Continue readingIsrael has never negotiated for hostages. Israeli operatives have always known that, if they fall into Arab hands, they're on their own. But apparently the atrocities visited on Thomas Tucker and Kristian Menchaca decided the Israelis that this type of stuff is not going to happen on their watch. How
Continue readingFor Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday, British Muslims had to endure this horror: You recall, of course, when the Brits banned Piglet for fear of offending their delicate Muslim compatriots.
Continue readingSome time ago, I blogged about the UC Santa Cruz chancellor, Denice Denton, who was profiled in the SF Chron because of her very questionable expenditures — including getting a cush, pricey job for her lover. It turns out that she wasn't only someone who used power unethically, she was
Continue readingIt's no secret that large chunks of the Western world are in demographic decline. Mark Steyn has focused on the fact relentlessly in a series of articles (with the most recent being an article, first published in the New Criterion and then republished in the WSJ). The most recent article
Continue readingI mentioned in an earlier post that Michelle Malkin has excellent coverage about the New York Times'/LA Times' decision to blab intelligence information to Al Qaeda and its fellow travelers. Malkin included in that coverage several WWII posters that were created to warn people to keep their mouths shut for
Continue readingBy the way, I'm very aware of the New York Times' and the LA Times' most recent articles exposing intelligence information being used to track down terrorists. I don't have any great insights to add: In my mind, it's not news to report intelligence information during a time of war,
Continue readingI was reading the latest Greenhouse news report (earth hotter than it's been 400 years), and was all prepared to blog about that. Then, I discovered that my WordPress was down. So, I read around a bit more and discovered that The Anchoress has already said what I planned to
Continue readingBurt Prelutsky agrees with Ann Coulter's underlying point, which is that the Left likes to hide behind people who, through sheer sad and bad luck, lost their loved ones in the course of a well-publicized event, whether 9/11, the Iraq war, or Al-Zarqawi's sadism. He then has this to say:
Continue readingThe Arab countries forcibly evicted their Jewish populations, so as to seize their property and purify their countries from the "stain" of Judiasm. Israel is also asking one of its Arab citizens to leave, but for a very different reason: In a few weeks Ismail Khaldi, a 35-year old Bedouin
