Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I continue to be fascinated with the things that my Progressive friends post on Facebook. I feel like a cultural archaeologist. Here’s today’s offering: For once, my commentary can be summed up in a single sentence: We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. — Barack Obama,
Continue readingRomney’s main problem is a chronic one. While he intuitively understands what Bush Sr. used to call “the vision thing,” he can’t articulate it. He’ll spell out all the details, but he’s incapable of explaining to Americans that, if the government takes all their money, not only does it mean
Continue readingSo, how would Crowley happened to have read and “memorized” that particular Rose Garden transcript in advance of the Town Hall debate unless she had been prepared in advance for a) the question and b) for Obama’s response?
Continue readingOne of my old high school classmates, who is gay and Progressive, posted a heartfelt plea today that all of his Facebook friends do whatever is necessary to keep the “evil” Romney out of office. Evil? That’s an awfully strong word. Hitler was evil. Mao was evil. Stalin was evil.
Continue readingMany of Obama’s most educated supporters believe in him because they believe in Keynesian economics. Central to that belief is the theory that government itself can be an economic engine. If people aren’t working, have them work for the government or at least have the government fund their ostensibly “private
Continue readingThe GOP instantly produced a video focusing on Obama’s face during the debate. It’s called “The Smirk.” I don’t know. To me, it looks as if Obama’s trying not to cry. I’m watching the debate now, and I would characterize it as a bloodless, but total, massacre. Obama wearily pretends
Continue readingWhat do you think? I am coming to the conclusion that it’s really hard to sell such an important message in just 25 seconds.
Continue readingThere’s an old joke: “How can you tell when a politician is lying? His lips are moving.” During this presidential campaign season, that joke is almost accurate when it comes to Obama. It’s not 100% accurate, though, because he does say occasionally things that are true. For example, when he
Continue readingWe all remember Obama meeting Bibi. Obama managed to look as if he was sucking on a lemon while having a poker shoved up his derriere. The Anchoress caught quite different body language when Bibi and Mitt met.
Continue readingWell, Romney nicely pulled the rug out from under the Progressives/Democrats when he released all of his tax information. This is a relief to me, because I was getting sick and tired of seeing my liberal Facebook friends repeat ad nauseum nasty statements about those missing (per Harry Reid, “unpaid”)
Continue readingJohn Podhoretz takes a clear-eyed view of recent polls, all of which show an Obama surge. It’s a long post, and can be summed up simply: the polls probably oversample Democrats, but the fact is that Obama is doing extremely well and may even have a small lead. Mitt Romney’s
Continue readingWe conservatives are very fragile. One SEIU house polling organization (that would be PPP) and one White House press organ (that would be Politico), both of which trumpet Obama’s staggering 5 point post-convention bounce, and we’re already donning sackcloth and ashes. Yes, it is frustrating that a president with the
Continue readingThe day after Mitt Romney gave his speech, Jon Stewart went to town. It was a typical Jon Stewart exercise, replete with out-of-context snippets, juvenile sarcasm, and endlessly bleeped obscenities. One part of it, though, the very first part, stayed with me. If you watch just the first couple of
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 readingAs 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.
