Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I guess we get the politicians we deserve, but it would be nice if Republican politicians would buck up a little. Perhaps this video, which a sixteen year old boy created, would help: Find more videos like this on Patriotic Resistance Hat tip: American Thinker
Continue readingI don’t doubt that Sotomayor is smart. What’s questionable is how smart. To the liberals, her Ivy League degrees give her instant crediblity. Let me quote from Ruth Marcus, along with the fisking I gave a few days ago on that particular point: Ditto, with a bit of racism thrown
Continue readingAustin, Texas, is a great town. It’s beautiful, the people are friendly, and it’s got one of the premier public universities in America. It’s this last that is responsible for Austin’s reputation as the most politically liberal town in Texas. This Progressive reputation goes a long way to explain the

I’m sure the father in the story wishes he were dead — and probably survived only because an Iraq vet who is also a paramedic, coincidentally was on hand to render first aid. A council
Continue readingObama just told Israel to halt settlements, and at the same time told Palestinians to “increase[s] security.” I’m now curious about something — genuinely curious, not snarky: Prior to today, in his four months as President, has Obama told the Palestinians to stop killing Israelis? I mean, telling Palestinians to

I think you’ll enjoy reading them too: Council Submissions Right Truth – Home grown terrorism and the media The Razor – Death To Inclusiveness! Joshuapundit – Jerusalem Day The Glittering Eye

Continue readingSotomayor’s statements about judges (better if they’re female and minority) and their role (to make policy) have been disturbing. It’s worth nothing though that, as James Taranto points out that, on at least one occasion Sotomayor came out strongly in favor of free speech, even though it was very ugly
