Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My car is dead as a doornail so, while I’m waiting for a tow truck, I thought I’d publish a list of some of the best anti-Obama posts I found this morning. The Economist’s Hope and Fear, about Obama’s depressingly populist economic prescriptions. (H/t: Captain’s Quarters) Big Lizard’s Chicago Rules,
Continue readingOne of the things that puts the Kumbi-ya crowd into an absolute frenzy is President Bush’s refusal to deal directly with murderous dictators. Forgetting the example set by Neville “Peace in Our Time” Chamberlain, this crowd is certain that, if they can just wrest a smile from someone evil, they’ll
Continue readingThe New York Times has attacked veterans at home as homeless people, substance abusers and killers. Apparently those attacks have not sated its blood lust. Instead, the Times has directed its demoralization efforts at paratroopers in Iraq, troops who are already suffering under very difficult field conditions. Fortunately, as Blackfive
Continue readingLast night, I was discussing with my mother the British woman I met in Florida who said that the situation in England, vis a vis Muslims, is much worse than even the papers describe. Aside from pointing to political correctness as the culprit, I also also laid the blame, as
Continue readingOne of Obama’s (and Clinton’s) many sins is the desire to nationalize medicine, so that the government gets to decide who deserves treatment and who doesn’t. Britain, as always, serves as a useful horrible example of what can happen under such a system: A 61-year-old grandmother has been denied vital
Continue readingYou recall the uproar a few weeks ago when the Archbishop of Canterbury said that it’s unfair for Muslims to have to follow British law and that it would be a good thing to incorporate elements of Sharia law into British law. It turns out that he’s not the only
Continue readingThe headline caught my eye — “Right wing plays Muslim card against Obama” — since it was such an obvious attempt to smear all conservatives as, not racists, but religious-ists. As you now, while a conservative radio host did make a speech in which he emphasized Obama’s actual, real, true
Continue readingFrankly, I don’t know if I’ve ever said it on my blog, but both my mother and Don Quixote can corroborate the fact that I’ve been saying for years that mutually assured destruction is not deterrent when dealing with Iranian leaders because they not only believe in the Muslim equivalent
Continue readingSpengler, writing at Asia Times Online, has one of the more fascinating attacks I’ve seen on Barack Obama, and one that exposes some Obama history about which I was blissfully unaware. I knew that Michelle Obama, in her role as candidate’s wife, has forced herself to speak positively about America,
Continue readingIn several posts over the last few days, I’ve commented about Disney efficiency. Thousands of people are fairly painlessly shuffled from place to place; Fast Passes are a think of beauty, especially if individuals handle them well; everything is immaculately clean, including the overused bathrooms; the equipment functions superbly well
Continue readingI’ve always referred to the numbers we used as Arabic numerals (as distinct from Roman numerals), and I’ve accepted that it was under Islam that medicine flourished during the Dark Ages. Turns out I was wrong: FP: So how about Muslim claims of accomplishment that aren’t real? BetBasoo: Muslims claim
Continue readingRick Moran takes a look at Obama’s dream Supreme Court. Read Rick’s article, then make sure you vote for McCain.
Continue readingWhile I was gallivanting in Florida, news came out that Obama paid his respects to William Ayers, a leader of the infamous Weather Underground of the 1960s, which left a trail of bombings and deaths in its wake. Jonah Goldberg looks at this quickly buried news squiblet, as well as
Continue readingSince I was away last week, the Watcher’s election just passed me by. Nevertheless, I would be more than remiss if I didn’t notify you about the fine winners (and placers and showers) on both sides of the aisle, council and non-council. As is often the case when I read
Continue readingAs you know, I find the thought of an Obama Presidency frightening. I therefore found heartening a poll that, despite having a methodology that favored Democrats, still showed that McCain would beat both Obama and Clinton if the Presidential election were held today. Much can change between now and November
