Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
California used to have the finest public education system in America. It wasn’t lack of funding that killed it; it was Leftist corruption and insanity. Don’t believe me? Read these two articles. From Bruce Kesler: Important Report On The Sinkhole That Is Higher Education From Donald Douglas: California State Colleges
Continue readingYesterday, I riffed on James Taranto’s post regarding whether the sexual revolution bell can be un-rung. I don’t think we can go back to the way things were before — time does, after all, run forward, not backwards — but I do think we are still in a position to
Continue readingThose of us conservatives who are signed up to Barack Obama’s mailing list enjoy the emails we get requesting campaign contributions. Up until today, each email has had a “hook” justifying yet another request for $3. For example, a couple of days ago, Michelle Obama said people should pony up
Continue readingTwo people sent me a link to stories about Naomi Wolf castigating singer Katy Perry for making a “shameless” piece of video “propaganda” celebrating the U.S. Marines. One sent me the link because he knows that, I went to school with Naomi. The other sent me the link because he
Continue readingJames Taranto says that the Left has ceased to be a revolutionary movement. Instead, it is a monolithic institution that spends its time trying to preserve the changes it has already wrought in society. The two big changes Taranto mentions are the New Deal of the 1930s and 1940s, and
Continue readingThe Kochs received an interesting phone call from Jesse Lava, someone who affiliated with Brave New Foundation, a Progressive organization that is peculiarly obsessed with the Koch brothers. Jesse ostensibly called to ask for some information from the Kochs to include in a “documentary” that Brave New Foundation is putting
Continue readingThis add perfectly illustrates that, if Obama had been president in the 1950s, the Cold War would have lasted about 20 minutes. The Soviet Union would have won.

Continue readingAfter providing amusingly snarky details, Charles Hurt summarizes: So, in one week, Mr. Obama got caught whispering promises to our enemy, incited a race war, raised serious questions about his understanding of the Constitution, and then got smacked down over his proposed budget that was so wildly reckless that even
Continue readingIn one of his more delightful articles, Jonah Goldberg tackles Justice Ginsburg’s disingenuous claim that the most “conservative” thing the Supreme Court can do is to pick its way through all 2,700 pages of the ObamaCare bill and save all the good bits. After politely decimating Ginsburg’s word choice, Goldberg
Continue readingLeave it to Charles Krauthammer to explain in nice, clear language precisely why Obama’s open mic statements justify voters booting him out of office without regard to any other issues. Incidentally, Peggy Noonan has been taking heat for writing an article expressing surprise that Obama isn’t trustworthy. I am now

Continue readingOne of the more perplexing yet insightful arguments made in support of Obamacare was made by none other than Nancy Pelosi. It is interesting, because it exposes such a fundamental shallowness in the Progressive-Left world view. Here is what she said: ““A healthier life, the liberty to pursue happiness, free
