Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My time is not my own this morning, but I thought I’d pass on a few things to you. Katherine Kersten exposes the fact that Muslims in Minnesota are using public charter schools to promote religion amongst the students. I loath the smell of cigarette smoke, but this strikes me
Continue readingI’ve been boasting for some time that, so far as I know, I was the first person to liken Barack Obama to Chance the Gardener in Being There. I did so because the Obama we first met appeared to have nothing going on behind the smooth exterior, a fact that
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
Continue readingObama bills himself as a man of the people, who will beat down big business (although some of the more disingenuous in big business have already figured out a way to profit from these so-called populist policies). Indeed, his “man of the people” credentials may run a lot deeper than
Continue readingIt’s becoming increasingly clear that John McCain is going to have to cope with something I call PT-BDS — or Post Traumatic Bush Derangement Syndrome. Let me explain and, as is so often the case with my explanations, let me start with a personal anecdote. I’m visiting with the in-laws
Continue readingA couple of nights ago, I watched a Frontline show entitled Bad Voodoo’s War, which followed a platoon of National Guard soldiers who were deployed to Iraq at the beginning of the Surge in 2007. The show’s editor/producer did not go to war with the men. Instead, she gave them
Continue readingOnly two posts won in each category — Council and non-Council — but the quality of this week’s Watcher’s submissions was so good, I just have to include them all here: Votes Council link 2 1/3 Black Liberation Theology Joshuapundit 2 Another UN Obscenity (Updated) Wolf Howling 1 1/3 The
Continue readingLast I heard, the law of Great Britain required monogamous marriages, not polygamous ones. It also imposes speed limits that require drivers to travel at temperate speeds in certain neighborhoods, presumably to protect other drivers and pedestrians. In Scotland, however, these laws went out the window so that a Muslim
Continue readingThe headline reads “Pregnant man tells Oprah: It’s a miracle.” The story, of course, is about “Thomas” Beatie, the “man” who is pregnant. Let me put this in very simple words: It’s not a miracle, because Thomas is not a man. Thomas is a woman who sliced her breasts off
Continue readingBarack Obama has had a weird life, but not a bad one. Yes, his father abandoned him, but he’s certainly not the only person, of any race, to experience that. His mother loved him, his grandparents loved him, he grew up in the mellow, racially-mixed world of Hawaii (barring his
Continue readingWhen we told my son that we were heading for another road trip, after having just returned from a trip to the mountains last weekend, his question was, “Must we always be on the move?” I feel the same way. I’ve got a fair amount of legal work this morning,
Continue readingThe MSM is going after McCain, but the fact is that, the more they dribble out details about the man, the more I admire what I learn. Regardless of his sometimes flawed political instincts (that campaign financing thing, again), he is a very good human being, and an honorable one
Continue readingI will never again complain about having to throw away my unfinished drink before going through airport security: A gang of alleged British Muslim fanatics plotted to cause “carnage on an almost unprecedented scale” with simultaneous suicide bombings on up to 18 transatlantic airliners, a court has heard. Bombs made
Continue readingWhile I worked on an appellate brief last night, Mr. Bookworm watched Frontline’s Bush’s War. I was not surprised to learn that it characterized the Bush administration as not only profoundly stupid, but also deviously Machiavellian, with Bush in charge, except that he’s so stupid that he is actually manipulated
Continue readingHere’s the headline: “Judge admits mistake in kicking whites out of court.” Upon reading that headline, I assumed that this was going to be the familiar story about some crackpot anti-white judge who issued a ruling, a la the Jeremiah White mode of thinking, that blacks can’t get a fair
