Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Perhaps I’m misunderstanding things here, but as I read this article, five British police officers got badly mauled by a single dog because none had a gun. It wasn’t until a SWAT team arrived that the attack ended. In America, the police are minutes away when seconds count. In England,
Continue readingWhen I lived in England, those who could afford to escape from government medicine by paying twice did so. I addition to their high taxes, they bought a private insurance that I remember rejoiced in the name BUPA. Things haven’t changed. I don’t know why I’m on the mailing list,
Continue readingHave you watched Downton Abbey yet? Or perhaps a better question is, have you even heard of Downton Abbey? I’ve been aware of it for a couple of years, because I read Britain’s Daily Mail. The show has been a monster hit there and, during the season, the Daily Mail
Continue readingThe British are starting to wake up to a problem in the Midlands and in Yorkshire. Pakistani men are cultivating and pimping non-Pakistani British girls. This video explains more: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCeaPVhqVqI[/youtube] Hat tip: FrontPage Magazine This problem has been obvious to many of us who have followed blogs that Chronicle the
Continue readingTwo stories at the British Guardian caught my eye. The first is the Guardian’s announcement that its readers think Private Bradley Manning deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. You’re not imagining things. Britain’s Left — at least that portion that answers unscientific online newspaper polls — thinks that the man
Continue readingA few stories from England’s Daily Mail, all showing that the country is not in the best of health. Each of these stories highlights, not the horrible things individuals can do, because those crimes transcend national boundaries, but the way in which England has rendered itself unable to react in
Continue readingSometimes the matched sets just write themselves. Both of the articles I’m quoting here are from England. The first in our set is an article saying that town councils across England are being told that they need to reinstate actual playgrounds. The current versions, which are the kid equivalent of
Continue readingI fought my husband for years about taking the kids on vacation to England. Despite growing up as a complete Anglophile (I can talk for hours, unaided, about British history) and despite having spent one of the happiest years of my life there, I have a lot of issues with

Continue readingThere is a story that Josef Stalin, hearing mention of the Pope, asked dismissively ““How many divisions does the Pope have?” The quotation, if true, is compelling, because it perfectly illustrates the Leftist viewpoint that the only power is that which comes at the point of a gun. The notion
Continue readingIn the preceding post, I gave you Geert Wilders’ entire speech about the threat Islam poses to the West. I now offer you living evidence of the threat he describes.
Continue readingA little less than a year ago, after the French enacted the burqa ban that just recently went into effect, I published a post entitled When is a burqa, not a burqa? When it’s a weapon, in which I wrote the following: Because Islamic religious trappings are not about man’s
Continue readingI’m not actually sure what to make of this. Is it a smart way to prevent life-changing impulse surgeries or is it another socialist medicine throwaway for the cause of the day? Hat tip: Sadie
Continue readingBritain, apparently, has solved the puzzle of criminal recidivism (H/T Melanie Phillips of the Spectator). I know that this story provides us with a most important clue as to the greater disease that afflicts Western Civilization. I really just don’t know what to do with this story, so I am
Continue readingI’m not quite sure how to describe this one without giving away the whole weird little joke. Suffice to say that it’s quick and amusing. As for this one, you’ll be interested to know that Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians (“RCO”) believes women should be advised that, generally speaking, abortions
