Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I haven’t forgotten the collaborative post I put up after the election regarding the need for conservatives to create an alternate media challenging liberal paradigms. I was therefore delighted to see that the Kochs are thinking of buying up old Leftist media outlets and reconfiguring them as honest news outlets
Continue readingA week or two ago, I put this poster on my site: I think it’s an un-racist poster. It reminds people that government will always be a minority’s worst enemies. What I didn’t know was that, in Greeley, Colorado, someone put up a billboard echoing that sentiment: The friend who
Continue readingOne of the things that’s frustrating for non-liberals and non-Progressives is Leftists’ refusal to look Islam in the face (so to speak). Yes, there are crazy people who are Christians and there are entire Christian sects that are crazy (such as the Westboro Baptists or Warren Jeffs’ polygamist Mormon cult).
Continue readingJason Collins, a pro basketball player, just came out as gay. Is it wrong of me that I couldn’t care less? It’s not just that I don’t follow basketball. It’s that Collins’ bedroom preferences have nothing to do with the only reason he matters to the public: basketball. Either he’s
Continue readingTom Elia, who blogs at The New Editor, sent me a wonderful joke: When Barack Obama met with Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of England, he asked her . . . “Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?” “Well,”
Continue readingIn fits and starts, Bill Maher is creeping towards an understanding that the enemy isn’t America when it comes to terrorism. He’s unable to square the circle, though, because he’s so hung up on gun control. That is, he’s incapable of appreciating that the best way for Americans to depend
Continue readingI’m sitting here trying to think deep thoughts, but my brain is as shallow as a side-walk puddle after a light rain. Depth eludes me. I spent the day shopping, an activity I hate, but that my mother loves, that my children need, and that my empty refrigerator demanded. I
Continue readingGeorge Orwell understood that good language clarifies and bad language corrupts. He’d moved amongst Communists, so he understood how controlling people requires controlling language. One cannot fully erase ideas if the language to express them still exists — so one changes the language. In 1984, Orwell envisioned an Auschwitz-like world
Continue readingLately, abortion has been in the news. It never gets far out of the news, but it intruded with extra force these past two weeks for two reasons. The first was the story about the media’s decision to ignore the Kermit Gosnell trial because it didn’t fit into the abortion
Continue readingThanks to the success of The Hunger Games (which I’ve neither read nor watched), novels about dystopian futures are the “in” thing for young adult readers. My daughter enjoys these books a great deal. Yesterday, having read one, she said to me, “You know, Mommy, all of these dystopian books
Continue readingStill working on coordinating my stiff, unresponsive brain this morning, so I have nothing interesting to say. I mean, my dog is perfect, and that’s always of interest to me, but it makes for very limited blog posts. Fortunately, as is always the case with the internet, even when my
Continue reading(Another one that first saw the light of day on Mr. Conservative, but that’s definitely one I would have written for Bookworm Room too.) There is no bully worse than a Leftist on an anti-bullying crusade. We’ve seen this play out over and over again in the area of guns,

Simply Jews – Boston bombers: mission accomplished The Right Planet – Rush for Judgement: The All-Star ’Calumnists’ of the MSM The Noisy Room – Sleeping
