I have a problem with that, especially having grown up with a workaholic father. The fact is, I am too exhausted to be constantly looking for a job or working more-than one job.” She let it be known that she really resented the implication that she should be expected to go out and work hard to earn her own financial support.

Tweet One of the best non-fiction books I’ve read in I don’t know how long is Ben Shapiro’s Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV. The book’s beauty rests on two solid pillars. The first is that Ben, who is so sweet-faced he looks as if he couldn’t [...]

Tweet The following is the entire text of Frédéric Bastiat’s magnificent Parable of the Broken Window, which is as relevant today as it was when he wrote it in 1850. As you read it, please note carefully the highlighted language: Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper, James Goodfellow, when his careless [...]

We won’t change what appears to be happening with increasing frequency to our society until we decide that we will stand up and dare to speak out against the increased depravity of our culture. Definitely “uncool”, but we must do it…for all families, for the kids and for our future. Otherwise, it can only continue to get much, much worse. It is the age of the wolf.

Tweet I promise that this post will be about what Sheldon Adelson had to say in an interview with Alana Goodman of Commentary Magazine. Before I get there, though, I need to begin with a little story of my own. Readers of my newsletter know that I had lunch last week with seven other conservative [...]

Tweet In today’s news, we learned that Muslims in Libya kidnapped twelve men that they claimed were homosexuals in order to execute them: Extremists say they will execute a dozen men they allege are homosexuals, whom they abducted last Thursday at a private party in Tripoli’s Ain Zara district. A body calling itself the ‘Private [...]

Tweet One of the really icky things about the Left is that it lacks a moral compass. There is no good or evil. There are only evil haves and victimized have-nots. In a sane moral universe, cultural arbiters would readily be able to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys in the Middle East. [...]

Have Liberals (including religious Liberals) lost their capacity to distinguish between Good and Evil?

Tweet Gay Patriot has a post up about the nasty insults he receives as a gay man. These don’t come from right wing homophobes, though. They come from Leftists. Read his post and you’ll see. I’ll only add that, aside from being green with envy that he met Glenn Reynolds, I’m not at all surprised. [...]

Tweet With the election nearing, the Facebook frenzy is accelerating. I got this from a Facebook acquaintance: Lots of food for thought, there: Ryan voted to end funding for Planned Parenthood. Ryan’s vote is completely in line with Romney’s insistence that a broke U.S. government should repeatedly ask itself “Is this program worth going into [...]

Tweet Nobody ever accused Joe Biden of being coherent. Peter Heck, however, realized more quickly than I did that Biden was being exceptionally incoherent — or hypocritical or held tightly in the grip of cognitive dissonance — when he was asked to explain the relationship between his faith and his politics. I’ll give you Heck’s [...]

Tweet A friend wrote to me quite appropriately outraged about the fact that Nancy Pelosi is saying that, if there was a security failure in Benghazi, blame belongs to the Republicans: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on CNN Tuesday attempted to shift the blame for the disastrous handling of the deadly terrorist attack on [...]

Tweet Back in 2004, when George Bush was president, Michael Moore compared al Qaeda terrorists to American Minutemen: The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not “insurgents” or “terrorists” or “The Enemy.” They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow — and they will win. Moore’s shallow brain and [...]

Tweet I don’t like Progressive insurance company. Why not? Because I don’t like the way in which its Chairman and former CEO Peter Lewis uses the profits he’s reaped from this family owned enterprise: Peter B. Lewis is the current Chairman (and former CEO) of the Progressive Insurance Company, which was co-founded in 1937 by his [...]

Tweet As political season heats up, those Facebook friends who amuse me too much to unfriend (because they’re wacky), are getting worried about the Romney/Ryan ticket. How do I know they’re worried? Because, rather than boasting about their candidate, they’re demonizing — and I do mean demonizing — the Republican ticket. This is my favorite [...]

Tweet I left for vacation a day or two after the whole Chick-Fil-A/free speech matter arose. I was aware of it, through my minimal contact with the internet, but obviously couldn’t comment upon it. The one goold thing about waiting so long, though, is that others provide the perfect commentary. In this case, the “other” [...]

Tweet Mark Steyn takes on the Democrat political machine’s outrage over Chick-fil-A, starting with certain mayors trying to run the company out of their cities because the company’s owner believes in traditional marriage (including no divorces), and then moves on from there: Mayor Menino [Boston's mayor] subsequently backed down and claimed the severed rooster’s head [...]

Tweet The SF Chron had an article about the mountains of rubbish that revelers left in San Francisco’s Dolores Park on July 4. I can tell you with absolute certain that the Dolores Park partiers were liberals or, as they would call themselves, Progressives. That City and, more specifically, that neighborhood, tell you everything you [...]

Tweet I quote Glenn Reynolds in his entirety: IT’S AS IF ALL THAT HUMAN-RIGHTS CONCERN WAS JUST PARTISAN HACKERY: Liberals ignore Obama’s Guantanamos: The same people who excoriated Bush’s war on terror are letting Obama do as he pleases. Let me be clear: All you people who were playing the have-you-no-decency card under Bush, but [...]

Tweet JoshuaPundit caught Google observing July 4th in its own special way. I’m willing to attribute their decision to sheer ignorance. Most of us learn the song they reference as a simple ode to America with a very catchy tune. However, one would think that the Google guys could look it up. Either they did, [...]

However, this rationalization for infanticide, just published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, makes me wonder if Molock isn’t stirring anew in the ebb-tide of the Judeo-Christian West.
