Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I am very fortunate to part of an email list comprised of some cream-of-the-crop conservative bloggers. Quite often, the material I link to at my blog comes from these email exchanges. We discuss news, issues of the day, and just, well, stuff. Often, through this email list, I get introduced
Continue readingDuring a moment of procrastination, I checked out the Telegraph, which is the British newspaper least unfriendly to Israel — which isn’t saying much. Given its lack of the usual British venom, I was therefore a little taken-aback by the ambiguity displayed in its headline about the cruel murder Hamas
Continue readingI’m running a bit behind myself, but it would be too cruel were I to deny you entirely the pleasure of knowing who last week’s winners were at the Watcher’s Council. As always, the articles’ overall quality was superb, and the winners deserved their high ranking. Council Winners First place
Continue readingThe recession substantially diminished my work load. It’s a good thing, therefore, when a project comes through my door, even if it takes away from blogging. I have such a project now, so today starts with an open thread. I’ll get the thread going by leading you to Maggie’s Farm,
Continue readingRemember that old Sesame Street song, “One of these things is not like the others…“? That song kept running through my mind as I looked at this photo essay of the 15 deadliest terror attacks in the world. I leave it to you to consider what distinguishes the majority of
Continue readingMy friend Lorie Byrd is working for the Renee Ellmers campaign in North Carolina against Democratic incumbent Bob Etheridge. The fact that Lorie works for Ellmers, on its own, is an excellent recommendation. Renee’s stand on the issues, her affect (style matters), and the nature of her opponent also elevate
Continue readingI was watching Jon Stewart’s show from last week (my husband had TiVo’d it), and Jon did an extended segment on Glenn Beck. It was, as you can imagine, stupid. After showing Beck saying “Don’t let the government push you around,” he showed clips of Beck himself telling people what
Continue readingIn the debate over the Ground Zero Mosque, the Left’s trump card has been the language in the First Amendment stating that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” All of us correctly understand this to mean that government cannot create a state faith, nor can it
Continue readingAside from the LaRouchites who appear at the Tea Party rallies, complete with their posters showing Obama with a Hitler mustache, I am unaware of any significant racist rhetoric or imagery from the Tea Party. Certainly the media’s minions, despite their ugly fulminations and accusations about racism, never point to
Continue readingWe have enjoyed spirited discussions on these pages with Book’s question about universities and the values thereof. A recurring theme that I hear among Liberals is one of educational snobbery. I heard this with regard to G.W. Bush (despite his Harvard MBA) and now we hear it about Sarah Palin

Continue readingMessage from his Highness: For example, Obama said he did not watch any of Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally Saturday on the National Mall. “It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That’s been
Continue readingAs y’all know, I think Obama is a man who does not believe in any God (except maybe himself), but who has frequently expressed a feeling of affinity with the Muslim world. An increasing number of Americans, however, do believe that Obama is a Muslim. Many reasons are given for
Continue readingYou all know how often I complain about the way liberals debate — you offer a fact, and they come back with a personal insult. Marie Stroughter has figured out how to deal with it. Since she can’t be my Mama (that position is already taken), oh, my gosh!, do
Continue readingMr. Bookworm was very excited because both of his favorite publications just proved that the whole Tea Party is a fraud, funded and masterminded by the Koch brothers. The most recent The New Yorker has an article saying so, and so does the New York Times. Oh, my God! It’s
