Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A couple of weeks ago, I ranted about the way bureaucracies are relentless in pursuit of some imaginary perfection. My focus was health care, but I noted that bureaucracies will always keep going, trying to nail every detail down, so much so that life becomes impossible. Britain perfectly proves my

Boston lawyer Joseph Welch spoke them to Joseph McCarthy during the Army hearings, marking the long-overdue end of McCarthy’s political ascendancy: As an amazed television audience looked on, Welch responded with the immortal lines that ultimately ended McCarthy’s career: “Until this
