Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I believe this is the same speech Mark Levin broadcast yesterday. It’s a marvelous speech, that carefully, clearly, factually and wittily spells out the economic and national security issues facing the United States, many of which parallel those we see today. If you have a half hour, listen to it:
Continue readingAs is appropriate after a disastrous election, there is a lot of soul searching going on on the conservative side, trying to figure out what went wrong so that we can do it right the next time. I see this in phone calls from relatives, lunches with friends, gatherings with
Continue readingIn today’s WSJ, there’s an op-ed from Dianne Feinstein, urging Obama, when president, to shut down America’s nuclear arsenal. To make her point, she opens with an anecdote about Ronald Reagan: When Barack Obama becomes America’s 44th president on Jan. 20, he should embrace the vision of a predecessor who
Continue readingWWII was a dreadful time, with about 400,000 American military deaths suffered during those four years. Just for perspective, we’ve been in Iraq for almost six years and, thank God, have sustained only 4,200 deaths. Nevertheless, there’s a tendency to look back with nostalgia on America’s time during WWII, and
Continue readingThis is not the first time, and it won’t be the last, that conservatives who abandon their principles go down in flames to liberals who run to the middle (but invariably govern to the Left). Reagan saw it happen in 1975, described what was wrong, and prescribed the way for

Violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one’s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid
Continue readingIn 1980 (and again in 1984), Ronald Reagan won in significant part because traditionally Democratic voters abandoned their party to vote for him. Those same “Reagan Democrats” have shown up frequently in the news today. Indeed, McCain is specifically targeting those same people and demographics. US News & World Report

Continue readingIn an earlier post, I tackled Obama’s incredible naiveté (or stupidity) in proposing that, if he were President, he’d just go off and have a little chat with dictators who gleefully kill their own citizens and who promise to kill the citizens of other nations. I said that the President
Continue readingI’m beginning to catch on to the rhythm of Obama’s speeches, which are truly Pat Paulson-esque in their ability to sound almost like real English, while actually saying nothing that isn’t either obvious or meaningless. Here’s the AP, which is fond of Obama, with the perfect headline: “Obama says voters
Continue readingWe’re down in Southern California for Spring Break, so we’re doing some SoCal stuff. Today’s outing was to the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. My only other visit had been more than a decade ago, and two things were different since that last trip. First, on this trip, I wasn’t
