Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Contrary to the weight of American history, Barack Obama has set himself up as a government in exile. It’s time to expose him to the American people. Ace nails it, describing Obama’s changes to national security policy so as to destroy Trump as being akin to Voldemort seeding the world
Continue readingI didn’t watch Obama’s SOTU. Between cooking and carpooling, I had neither the time nor the inclination. I’ve never been impressed by “Obama the Orator,” and his speech’s details had already been leaked, so the whole thing fell into the “Why Bother?” category. I did hear one interesting thing about
Continue readingHere’s the caption I made for “Obama’s got a gun“: I know that all of you can do better than I can, so you should toddle over here, check out what other people have done, and make your own. Then, send me the link or image, and I’ll post it.
Continue readingMuch is being made of the fact that it’s finally becoming big news that Obama, in Dreams From My Father, “compressed” a girlfriend. That is, he’s acknowledged in his book that some people referenced in the book were “composites.” It’s just that no one realized that at least one of
Continue readingThe Twentieth Century American paradigm for patriotism was our Flag, Mom, and Apple Pie. Obama’s Democrats have now hit the trifecta. We’ve got the flag: We’ve got Mom: And we’ve got pie, courtesy of Michelle Obama, speaking on April 8, 2008: The truth is most Americans don’t want much. Folks
Continue readingJennifer Rubin has a very good post today about the reasons that the “smart” Obama may be struggling so mightily to be a good president. She offers three basic reasons that may explain Obama’s ineptitude, whether it touches economics, diplomacy, or national security: First, the punditocracy confused credentials with knowledge
Continue readingAlthough the dinosaur media has assiduously ignored the story about Ayer’s authorship of Dreams of my Father, people are beginning to recognize the impact from the combination of Jack Cashill’s articles about the stylistic similarities between Dreams of my Father and Bill Ayer’s writing (similarities too great to be mere
Continue readingToday, Gerry Charlotte Phelps is celebrating the anniversary of her imprisonment (she was a 1960s college radical). While in prison, she found God and turned her life around. Thinking about her, it struck me that one huge difference between liberals and conservatives is their attitude towards sinners. On the one
Continue readingI grew up in San Francisco in the 1960s and 1970s. I have vivid memories of the brief, highly middle class era right before the hippies came (when houses and people looked liked sets and actors from the Dick Van Dyke Show); of the be-ins in Golden Gate Park; of
Continue readingAs we were driving back to the ‘burbs from an outing in San Francisco today, we saw a rare sight: an older lady nattily attired in furs. Standing near her was a young woman, screaming into the lady’s face. The children were mesmerized. First, they’d never seen furs and, second,
Continue readingI have to admit to screaming with laughter when I finally got around to Bill Ayers’ short-form autobiography for the New York Times, one that sees him classifying himself as just a joyous idealist, frolicking through the 1960s and 1970s — a Dennis the Menace for his times, all good
Continue readingI’m on the run this morning, bouncing from one thing to another, but strongly suggest that you read Bob Owens’ interview with informant Larry Grathwohl, who reflects on the Weathermen, their leaders then and now, and what he thinks about the relationship between Bill Ayers and Democratic presidential candidate Barack
Continue readingWe all recognize that, as to the average American, Obama’s friendship with Bill Ayers is a big yawn. Who cares that, as Obama said, Ayers bombed when Obama was 8? Who cares, as Obama refuses to admit, that Ayers has never repented and, indeed, wishes he’d done more? Who cares
Continue readingKathy Shaidle summarizes neatly why Ayers wasn’t then and isn’t now a nice person, and why that latter fact matters vis a vis Obama: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfF15cUc9AM[/youtube]
Continue readingI had a lovely time last night at a reception on the Bonhomme Richard, and plan on writing about it later today. However, other work calls, so I thought I’d fill this space with recommendations for interesting stuff you may want to read. In no particular order: William Katz, a
