Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Organizing For America (the Obamabot organization) has set up a handy-dandy web page so that the Obamatrons can easily write to local newspapers to crow about the wonders of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obama Care. The goal, of course, is to get published, and make people feel as if
Continue readingI think Andrew Brietbart is an incredibly important figure in today’s conservative movement. More than anyone else, he’s shown that he understands how to take conservative ideas and hurl them over the fence that the MSM keeps trying to throw up to insulate regular people from those views. I’ve now
Continue readingHistory is written by the victors. We know that. But I’m apparently not the only one who considers it unconscionable to make up history out of whole cloth. You see, Germany has a Holocaust memorial commemorating the thousands of homosexuals who suffered terrible persecution (imprisonment, torture and death) at Nazi
Continue readingSo many brilliant people have written about Obama’s full frontal attack on Israel. Each has said something important, and all are very worrisome. Peter Wehner, however, has most neatly nailed the moral component, the personality issue, behind Obama’s disgraceful behavior (behavior so disgraceful even the London Times caught on). Here’s
Continue readingThe previous post was a collection of links organized around a single topic — sudden Liberal claims of conservative violence. This post is more loosely organized, since it simply has links of things I found interesting. Here goes: National Review/Michael Fumento: The People Speak, which holds up the truth to
Continue readingOkay, I’m not really saying that those on the Left are quivering, whining cowards. They are, however, working hard to present themselves in that light — or, rather, in the light of helpless victims — in the hope that they can convince ordinary Americans that conservatives, libertarians, Tea Partiers, etc.,
Continue readingI meant to post yesterday the Watcher’s Council submissions, so that you could see what we were voting on last night, but the day just slipped away from me. I can, however, let you know today how the vote turned out. I’m quite flattered that my fellow Council members thought
Continue readingI have to admit that my political memory isn’t that long. The first president I remember is Johnson, and I have only the vaguest recollection of him. I know now that he was a sharp political operator, a vicious enemy and a complete fruit loop in his day to day
Continue readingThere was another anti-war rally in San Francisco, but the gloss of all Americanism with which the movement covered itself during the early years of the Iraq War is gone. With that gloss ripped away, the truth comes out: The glory days of the 21st-century anti-war movement were in 2003
Continue readingMy Internet is dead this morning, so blogging will temporarily be limited to this iPhone generated open thread. Have at it! I’ll be back as soon as I can — probably in a couple of hours.
Continue readingI warned people close to me (mother, sister, etc.) that Obama was a socialist and they laughed at me and (quite lovingly, because they’re my mom and my sister) called me “extreme.” I wonder if they would have laughed at Al Sharpton too, now that he’s finally let the cat
Continue readingYou can draw your own conclusions about Elizabeth Warren and whether she is helping consumer finance or shutting it down. The fact is that I can’t figure out the real facts in this puff piece, so I can’t determine where the truth lies. To be honest, I kind of started
Continue readingQuestion for all of you: A friend thinks that we shouldn’t get our hopes up over November and beyond. He thinks that, aside from the concern political junkies are exhibiting, most Americans actually don’t care enough about the political scene to vote for politicians who would put a stop to

Continue readingI sent a letter to Commentary’s Contention’s blog, which I think is one of the absolute best blogs around: One of the things that’s refreshing about your blog, especially Jennifer Rubin’s posts, is the belief that the disasters of the Obama administration, at home and abroad, can be rolled back
