Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Isn’t the first advice of being in a hole to stop digging? Someone needs to remind Obama of that, because he’s still out there making enemies of police officers throughout America. He’s also saying utterly ridiculous things to justify his position. How’s this one? The president said he understands the
Continue readingWhen you’re on the front lines, race is less of an issue, I think, than being able to rely on your brothers in arms. In other words, when the chips are really down, the one who’s got your back is your colleague, regardless of color, not the man in the
Continue readingIn just three paragraphs, Charles Krauthammar explains all of the problems with the health care reform the President so desperately wants passed by August: President Obama premised the need for reform on the claim that medical costs are destroying the economy. True. But now we learn — surprise! — that
Continue readingAmazon took heat — a lot of it — when word got out that, in response to a publisher’s demands, it magically deleted George Orwell’s 1984 (of all books!) from people’s Kindles. Amazon has gone a long way to redeeming itself, though, by having its CEO issue a genuine apology
Continue readingEven working together, Babs Boxer and John Kerry are still unable to beat Palin’s clear message and, instead, come out with meaningless government speak. I can’t resist a very light fisking of their opinion piece for the WaPo, which does precisely what my blog slogan says Democrats do: they take
Continue readingAs you know, the police report of Henry Louis Gates’ arrest, an arrest that involved black and Hispanic officers, as well as the white officer who got all the coverage, saw Gates instantly crying “race.” His first words, after refusing to cooperate, were “Why, because I’m a black man in
Continue readingOrwell understood the totalitarian mindset. That’s why he invented Newspeak, a language with the specific goal of making anti-governmental thought impossible. The Wikipedia article on the subject sums it up nicely: Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell‘s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the novel, it is described as being
Continue readingMichelle Malkin puts it together: the administration’s insistence that blind-folded science (untouched by greed or human feeling) will ensure the proper treatments in all situations plus the person who is the President’s voice for those “scientific” treatments. If you recall Zombie’s expose about the new science czar, John Holdren, you’ll
Continue readingI appreciate and admire law enforcement. Since I’m a nice, law-abiding, white female, I’ve never run afoul of the man and women in law enforcement (although I’m not so thrilled about meter maids). These are people who do a very necessary job and, most of the time, do it with
Continue readingBeing a police or other type of security officer is, by definition, a risky job. It’s entirely possible to find oneself in a low risk situation, such as the town in which I live. Crimes here tend to revolve around shoplifting, speeding, vandalism, etc. I know of several young officers

Council Submissions The Glittering Eye – How Not to Argue Rhymes With Right – My Final Reason For Opposing Sonia Sotomayor Joshuapundit – Netanyahu And Lieberman Tell Obama: ‘Jerusalem Is Not Negotiable’ The Provocateur
Continue readingApparently there is now an IQ test for Congressional Democrats. If you test too high, you’re disqualified. How else can one explain, in this day and age of alternative media, the Dems’ decision to prevent Republicans from sending out this chart, which is the Republican view of the current health
Continue readingBy now, you’ve all heard about the Henry Louis Gates incident: a neighbor reported a possible break-in; cops came; they discovered that it was Gates trying to get in after being locked out; and, when things got heated, the cops arrested Gates. Gates has cried racism; the cops claim a
Continue readingDo you remember the words in my post title? I sure do, and I wasn’t even very politically aware then. That was George Bush, Sr., making a promise to the American people: “Read my lips: No new taxes.” He broke that promise. It looks as if Barack Obama is readying
Continue readingI’ve got to work, but I still read a few things this morning, during my regular rounds of morning blog favorites, that I think you’ll find interesting too: Power Line on Obama’s bizarre approach to health care reform: “One would expect a leader, paricularly one who is considered highly cerebral
