Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This weekend, Mr. Bookworm and I finally got around to watching “Koran by Heart,” an HBO documentary about an annual Koran memorization contest held in Cairo during Ramadan. The documentary followed three ten-year old children — a boy from Tajikistan, a girl from the Maldives, and a boy from Senegal.

Continue readingOh, it finally happened! http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1011/67194.html The Liberal/Left Media has found two or more women willing to claim that Herman Cain was guilty of “sexually suggestive” language, thereby graduating the Liberal/Left’s “step n’ fetchit” caricaturization of Herman Cain to that of the predatory black male. Read that again, “sexually suggestive language”.

In the history of wars through time, both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will go down as remarkably bloodless wars. Considering that we’ve been fighting for eight years, American losses have

Continue readingThe City of Oakland suffered a black eye when its attempt to rout the Occupy Oakland not only failed to move the protest, it managed to create the first martyr, an antisemitic ex-Marine who hates the Marines with an abiding passion. I’m sorry that Oakland made the effort. If I

Continue readingEvery time Newt Gingrich opens his mouth, something intelligent pops out. I’m beginning to wonder if he’s the tortoise in this race. Bachmann and Perry have been self-immolating. Cain is charming, dynamic and ill-informed. Romney will do anything to win and he has the RomneyCare albatross around his neck. And
