Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You’ve already heard about Kerry’s imaginary country, so I won’t work that one to death. You’ve also heard that Kerry said (correctly) that Americans have the right to be stupid. But did you catch what he said immediately after that? ‘In America, you have a right to be stupid, if
Continue readingIn one of the comments to my earlier post about Ted Cruz, Mike Devx noted that Cruz is attractive because he has “the courage of his convictions.” That particular phrase tied in with something I’ve been thinking about for the last few days, regarding freedom of speech, or rather the
Continue readingSorry for the long silence today. I hit the ground running a little over 8 hours ago, and this is the first time I’ve sat down since then. I’m a little tired, but I’m also quite pleased with what I accomplished. The days I hate are the ones that see
Continue readingI don’t believe there is anyone in the world who knows more about the UN’s ugly obsession with Israel than Anne Bayefsky. In this short video, she nicely sums it up. Almost none of this is new to me, but I appreciate her calm, objective, organized approach to the information.
Continue reading[UPDATE: Okay, I knew my theory was way too wacky to be true, although I had fun writing it up. Although the White House didn’t list it on the official schedule (because Thomas Lifson checked), I should have remembered that the Obama’s were hosting the annual Governor’s dinner — the
Continue readingOld Hollywood, which was owned and operated by foreign-born or first generation European Jews had aspirations. What may surprise some is that these aspirations did not usually include Art (note that capital “A”). The aspirations — or the absence of low behavior — came about in part because of the
Continue readingAre we surprised that Doug Ross came up with a brilliant cartoon panel riffing off of the Hitler meme? No, we are not. We’re just happy that he did. Please, go and enjoy this one. Hat tip: Richard Baehr
Continue readingThe Koch brothers are the Leftist media’s arch enemies. Because they donate money to free market think tanks, media coverage routinely vilifies them. If Satan got the kind of negative press the Koch brothers do, even Satanists would abandon him. The media’s articles make it appear that the Koch brothers’
Continue readingJKB was worried that he’d hijacked an earlier thread by introducing us to Australian Topher Field’s “Forbidden” histories. JKB needn’t have worried. I’ve become an overnight Topher Field’s fan. I’m including here Topher’s Forbidden History of Terrible Taxes. You should watch his other “Forbidden” video as well, which is about
Continue readingIt’s a pleasure when someone can encapsulate complex and important ideas in a short, accessible speech. Dan Bongino, whom Maryland voters rejected as a Senatorial candidate last fall, came back roaring in January to speak about our un-infringable right to bear arms: I especially appreciate his opening point: It’s not
Continue readingI love them both (Rita Hayworth and the Bee Gees) but it never occurred to me that they would go so well together: There’s something tragically heroic about the fact that a woman who led such a sad life left such a lovely legacy. H/t: Earl
Continue readingYup. You read that right. I am not a Ted Cruz fan. I should be. He’s young, conservative, and courageous. Although new to the United States Senate, he was unafraid of rigid collegiality rules and, instead, interrogated Hagel the way a good lawyer or a good Senator should. After all,
Continue readingIt’s so simple, so very simple, that even a child should get it: (From Capitalism, Facebook home of many clever internet posters.)
Continue readingThe State is too far gone for it to matter, especially because we’ve got Jerry Brown as governor, but it is worth noting that there’s been a slight, ever-so-slight, downgrade in Democrat power here in California: The sudden resignation Friday of a state senator from Kern County robs Democrats of
Continue readingFor reasons I’ll explain shortly, I was kvelling to a friend about how wonderful Marin County is. I then wrapped up by saying the Marin is an outlier, unlike the rest of America. The moment the words were out of my mouth, it occurred to me that I’m probably wrong.
