Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You are probably already familiar with the story about the huge increase in rapes in Norway, with 2/3 of them committed by “immigrants with a non-western background.” (And I wonder who those non-western immigrants might be?) I didn’t even bother to comment on it originally, because LGF had it covered.

Continue readingLittle Bookworm joined with the school chorus last week to sing in its holiday concert. Interestingly, not a single song in the repertoire had anything to do with Christmas. There was the bland and generic ode to some (unnamed) holiday season, there were lugubrious songs about dark winter’s days and,
Continue readingThe Muslim Brotherhood dreams of bringing shari’a law to America. It’s occasionally useful to remember what that would mean for Americans on a daily basis: Residents of a southern Somalia town who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded, an Islamic courts official said Wednesday, adding the
Continue readingIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad looks to have been thwarted from keeping his ultra-conservative allies in control of key offices despite efforts to “cook the books” in weekend elections, the State Department said. The elections for municipal councils and a powerful religious assembly saw Ahmadinejad loyalists suffer setbacks at the hands
Continue readingI’m coming to the conclusion that one of the kids’ teachers combines being somewhat ill-informed with being a really bad proofreader. I think the following sentence, coming from her Christmas email to parents, reflects the latter problem: “The holidays are surly here.” (Although I have to admit to being somewhat

Continue readingJimmy Carter has been good to my blog, since a post I did about him sparked a fascinating, free-wheeling discussion about America, American politics, the Middle East, etc. I still don’t like the man, and I like him less after learning that he’s received money from the Arabs, both directly
Continue readingHaving tossed his hat towards, if not in, the ring, Obama is inevitably coming under intense scrutiny, as are those around him. Recent reports show that his mother’s ties to Wal-Mart may prove troubling for the man who, along with all Democrats, would like to bring down, not only one
Continue readingIt seems as if every year we read about a few dozen people getting trampled in Mecca during the Hajj, the giant pilgrimage to that shrine. James Lewis, writing at American Thinker, speculates that this year, with tens of thousands of Iranians heading for Mecca, many of them trained Iranian
Continue readingHolocaust denial about the Nazi death camps is gaining traction in part because witnesses are dying. After all, the camps were liberated more than 60 years ago, and both the camps’ victims and their liberators are an increasingly shrinking breed. There’s not much left of the world that bore witness
Continue readingHillary is recycling her ten-year old “It takes a village” mantra as she explores her 2008 candidacy. Don Surber thinks this is silly, both because the actual African villages aren’t in such good condition and because there are a few more big issues (9/11, anybody?) that have nothing to do
Continue readingSan Francisco is the inclusive city. San Franciscans love everybody, except conservative and religious people. San Franciscans have always been in the vanguard of progressive thinking. That’s why San Francisco is surprised to find itself grappling with a big statistical problem: It’s arresting African-Americans at a rate disproportionate to any
