Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Honestly, you’d think that, after weeks of information flooding the Fox TV and the internet, that some liberals would finally figure out just a little, wee bit of actual information about guns. (And yes, I’m being extremely sarcastic here.) I just found this gem on Facebook, showing the loony Left
Continue readingFor the past four years, conservatives have been fighting a relentlessly rearguard, defensive action. For those same four years, conservatives have lost every rearguard, defensive action that they’ve fought. Or if they haven’t actually lost, the best that they’ve managed is a stalemate that stalls Progressivism, but doesn’t advance conservative
Continue readingThe Leftists in the media were orgasmic yesterday as they again anointed Barack Obama “the next Reagan.” Ace explains why this is a dream, not a reality: Obama has always considered himself the Anti-Reagan — he would not only undo the Reagan coalition and the Reagan era, but do what
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 readingMax Boot reminds conservatives that people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, at least not when it comes to crowing about the Leftist habit of embracing dictators. Over the decades, conservatives have done more than their fair share of dancing with bad guys: It occurred to me, re-reading
Continue readingFor several years, every Tuesday and Wednesday morning, my sister has regaled me with stories about Dancing With The Stars, which is not just her favorite television show, it’s actually the only show she watches. For those unfamiliar with DWTS, the premise is simple: every season, a group of TV
Continue readingBack when I was in college, I just laughed myself sick the first time I heard someone say “You can wade through Ronald Reagan’s deepest thoughts without getting your ankles wet.” That was just so clever, wasn’t it? Such a perfect distillation of an actor! I’ve since learned, now that
Continue readingBack in 1987, when he was campaigning for President, one of George H. W. Bush’s advisers suggested that he back off from spouting minutiae to the electorate and spend some time focusing on the big picture, So that he could better sell himself to Americans. According to contemporaneous reports, Bush,
Continue readingThis morning, I heard two men talking. In response to something the first man said, the second said, “Trust, but verify.” The first man replied, “That’s one of the few smart things Ronald Reagan said.” The second man answered, “It’s the only smart thing Reagan said.” Putting aside all the
Continue readingI already mentioned how impressed I was by Ronald Reagan’s 1964 speech, which I posted here, and listed to in its entirety while folding laundry. Listening to Reagan made that task go much faster. It’s a fabulous speech, with each idea — most of which are as relevant today re
Continue readingThis is Ronald Reagan’s 1964 “Time for Choosing” speech. What’s fascinating about it is that, while some of the details are dated, the overarching principles are as fresh today as they were almost 50 years ago. That’s because freedom is an ageless concept, and that’s what Ronald Reagan is articulating.
Continue readingAndrea Shea King has an interesting post today, castigating Mark Levin for his “petty” and “envious” attack on Glenn Beck. Her post is very useful in highlighting the divisions in the conservative side of the political spectrum, divisions that are sometimes so deep, both as to style and substance, that
Continue readingRonald Reagan, speaking to Evangelicals about the Soviet Union, in 1983: Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness — pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach

Unsurprisingly, given the world in which we live, feelings are mixed — not from the British, but from the current administration: An interior designer from Chelsea who
