Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ned Rice has taken it upon himself to fact-check Clint Eastwood’s RNC presentation. This may well be the best and most honest fact-check every done. Here’s just a sample, but you will be denying yourself one of life’s great pleasures if you don’t read the whole thing: “You’re getting as
Continue readingA liberal friend sent me the editorial that the New York Times published practically within seconds of Mitt ending his speech, and asked me to try to defend Mitt from the editorial’s charges. Nothing easier, says I. Here’s a nice little Fisking of the New York Times’ alternate reality: Mitt
Continue readingYou all have probably noticed what I’ve noticed: while the Democrat party gets support from young voters, it doesn’t have many young politicians. (And maybe the young voters would like to think about that one for a while.) Obama, at 51, is one of the youngest of the Democrat leaders.

Bookworm Room –Democrat gaffes, nastiness, and sheer ignorance – just a few highlights from the Democrat side of the aisle Second place with 2 1/3 votes – The Razor – The Democratic Party’s War on Children Third place *t* with

Continue readingThe political slow season is ending and the Watcher’s Council is keeping a close eye on escalating events around the world. I’ve included this week’s submissions, below, and I suggest that you pair reading these posts with reading the newest Watcher’s Council forum, in which Council members discuss whether our
Continue readingI liked this speech: I’ve also enjoyed the frenzied reaction amongst my liberal Facebook friends, who swear that Ryan lied every time he opened his mouth. The biggest alleged lie was about the GM plan in Janesville, but facts show that the only ones who are lying about this are
Continue readingYesterday, I did a post in which I said that, while the HuffPo was crowing about an alleged Paul Ryan, I caught David Axelrod red-handed in a repeatedly disproved lie. I had my doubts about whether Ryan had lied — it’s not his style — but that’s not where I
Continue readingGiven that the media is working overtime to portray Obama as Mr. Nice Guy and Romney as Mr. Heartless, Capitalist Bully, a friend suggested that I start a running post tracking the times when Obama is a jerk. I’ll start with some past history of jerkiness, and then just keep
Continue readingHuffPo asserts that Paul Ryan lied in his speech. I haven’t listened to the speech, nor have I read the HuffPo piece. I just found the HuffPo claim amusing because a few minutes before reading that headline, I had just read David Axelrod’s email begging me, yet again, to donate
Continue readingMy family needed me today. All of them. Every last one of them. I feel very needed. Separating need from want, while I wanted to read stuff on the internet and write things, and needed to take care of them. And I did. Tonight, I think I want chocolate ice

Continue readingThe Left is excited: two people were allegedly ejected from the RNC because they threw peanuts at a black CNN camera operator and said “this is how we feed the animals.” Put aside the fact that this happened with two people out of thousands in attendance, and put aside the
Continue readingI remember in 1992, when I was a silly young-ish Democrat, the excitement of hearing people at the DNC chanting “It’s time for them to go” — a reference to twelve years of Republican governance. Now, after only four years of Obama, a clever, bouncy ad tells the Obama-niks to
