Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been working this morning on booking our vacation. It’s not a task I particularly enjoy. The internet makes massive amounts of information available, which is a good thing, but I find it unnerving to try to winnow all that information down in the hope that I’m making good choices.
Continue readingI’m enjoying reading the following posts, courtesy of the Watcher’s Council. I bet you’ll like them too. Also, if you go to the Watcher’s Council page, you’ll see some really cool social network stuff floating along the bottom of your screen. Council Submissions The Noisy Room – Soros, the Youth,
Continue readingThe point of a union is that it has political heft. One of the ways in which we demonstrate political heft in this country is money. Unions (just like corporations) can donate money directly to candidates and parties. The result, as Ace pithily says, is “nothing but legal corruption: they
Continue readingOne of the front line fighters in the war against the radical Islam is the Jawa Report. One of the ways in which the bloggers there are able to keep the information flowing is to hide their identities from the jihadists who have a pattern and practice of beheading those
Continue readingToday, several schools in Wisconsin announced that they would be closed so that their teachers could attend protests in the state capital, Madison, against GOP Gov. Walker’s proposals to take away collective bargaining rights from public sector unions. Wisconsin, like neighboring Illinois, is going broke. The behavior of the Wisconsin
Continue readingIf you want a good lesson in the depth, breadth and virulence of Muslim antisemitism, Andrew Bostom provides it. Then think long and hard about the fact that the current administration is siding with these Muslims at the United Nations. I’m still struggling to come to terms with the appalling
Continue readingIt’s not often I get the pleasure of laughing out loud when I read a “serious” political piece, especially one from an Obama acolyte, but I have to admit that this one completely lifted my mood. The author, David Kendall, at heart, seems to be an honest soul because he
Continue readingThe Indiana legislature is working on a bill to ban gay marriage. On my “real me” facebook, several of my friends characterized this as an act motivated by hate: “Stop the hate!” “Boy, they really hate us.” “Could they be more hateful?” I found this formulation interesting, perhaps because semantics
Continue readingYour matched set for today: Andy McCarthy writes about the elephant in the liberal living room; namely, Islamic attitudes towards rape: Women are almost always asking for it, especially Western women, and, once having forced an innocent man to give in to his base animal nature, they deserve to be
Continue readingThe Anchoress has a post, one I know you’ll like, about the profound sense of weakness that underlies so many aggressive political and social movements.
Continue readingRobert Avrech, at Seraphic Secret, nails the dirty secret underlying all the “democracy” revolutions in the Muslim world. They’re not about individual freedom. They’re about Jew hatred. I saw another link that made precisely the same point and, as soon as (or, rather, if) I track it down, I’ll update
Continue readingThis morning, I read and enjoyed Jeannie DeAngelis’ post about a potential Herman Cain candidacy. From everything I’ve heard, including musings from our own Danny Lemieux, Cain is a person one would like to have in the White House. He may not have a political track record, but he’s still
Continue readingFor two and a half years, Jack Cahill has been meticulously deconstructing the books published under Obama’s name, showing that it is highly unlikely that Obama wrote them. I was never surprised. Off teleprompter, Obama is singularly, not just inarticulate, but ugly in his speech. That never jived with the
Continue readingI was remarkably silent on Egypt. The situation was too fluid for me to grab a hold of. I knew only that Obama’s policy would follow whoever seemed likely to win, since he will always hew to the strong man. Now that it’s over, I was thinking of writing about
Continue readingI keep getting called away by real life, so let me quickly apprise you of two posts I think you’d enjoy. The first is at Wolf Howling. WH is inaugurating a series examining 15 battles that were turning points in history. His first post is about the Battle of Chipyong-ni,
