Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A month ago, I had published at American Thinker a long rumination about the fact that most of the Democratic candidates, whatever else they are, are not responsible adults. Of Obama, I said: Barack Obama, of course, is a Senator squared. This is a man who has never taken on
Continue readingThe Left (both at home and abroad) likes to revile the infamous American President “Chimpy-BusHitler,” but they seem to be taking a pass on some people that even the Left would have to concede have a bit more blood on their hands. Mike Adams and the American Thinker take on
Continue readingWhen my kids were at their old preschool, the school hired a very pleasant teaching assistant. At the end of a year, she suddenly showed up at school in a headscarf. The school was in a quandary. A lot of the parents, especially the mothers of the little girls, were
Continue readingThere’s been a lot of talk in today’s blogosphere about the way in the Left has responded to Chief Justice Roberts’ seizure, with the perfect example showing up at Wonkette’s website (h/t Independent Women’s Form): Chief Justice John Roberts has died in his summer home in Maine. No, not really,
Continue readingI’m back and have a few more (and last) random comments. I love my computer. I realized when I was struggling with a rinky-dink tablet computer that part of why I’m able to blog as I do is that I’ve got things set up so perfectly for my needs and
Continue readingI’m packing up stuff now, ready for a full day’s travel (home) tomorrow, so this will be my last post for 24-32 hours. I have a question for you, though. Do bloggers like me matter? I think that the big bloggers, whether Right (Michelle Malkin, Little Green Footballs, Power Line,
Continue readingI’ve mentioned before that the home page on Mr. Bookworm’s browser is the New York Times, which very much affects his outlook on things. I’ve therefore been unsurprised that, in the past year or so, my husband has been mouthing a lot of “green” stuff. “Turn off the lights, to
Continue readingI’m very glad Bookworm is back and will leave the blogging to her, but I did want to throw out one more topic that came up in a prior comment stream. The question was what our society can/should do to instill a sense of personal responsibility. Mike Devx was kind
Continue readingI’m finding it hard, this vacation, to do any sustained blogging. And to those of you wondering, I like blogging sufficiently that it’s a pleasure, not a chore I willingly leave behind when I turn off my familiar office computer. So, here come a few other random observations, which are
Continue readingI’ve been reading the New York Times’ movie reviews for decades now. I don’t know if they were always so politicized and laden with PC instruction, and I just didn’t notice, or if they’ve gotten more and more liberally pedantic with the passage of time. I do know, though, that
Continue readingI missed it a year ago, but Mark Steyn has republished a year old article he wrote about the renaissance of anti-Semitism: But all the hoo-ha about Holocaust denial (and granted, from President Ahmadinejad to Mel Gibson’s dad, there’s a lot of it about) has obscured the fact that the
Continue readingI wouldn’t normally be in a bookstore at midnight, even for Harry Potter, but I was boarding a plane early Saturday morning and worried that I wouldn’t have the book on vacation. It was kind of fun at the store — lots of positive energy — but I was tired
Continue readingI met a retired Air Force vet today, and he was just the nicest guy. Kind, thoughtful, enthusiastic. In that, he resembled all of the other career military people I’ve met over the years, whether currently serving or retired. I’ll admit that my sample is small, since I don’t move
Continue readingThank you as always for your insightful and thoughtful comments. I always love throwing out topics and seeing the wonderful places you take them. Today, I’d like to ask another question that relates to faith. One thing that cannot be denied about the Islamists is that they have a deep
Continue readingI’m still on vacation, and still working with a microscopic keyboard that has a space bar that is dysfunctional in two directions. Either no spaces at all, or too many. Forgive the messy typing. It’s too difficult to fix. Question for you? What is it with the radical left and
