Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You all know that I’m not a committed pro-Lifer. I grew up in a Roe v. Wade world, and have always believed that there are circumstances in which abortion should be available. As I have explained in an earlier post, as I’ve grown my conservative, I’ve probably come to hew
Continue readingMy daughter got a very challenging assignment. She did wonderfully with about 80% of it, and then hit a wall. I got intrigued and started helping her out, but I too have now hit a wall. Perhaps you can help, because this is making me very frustrated. Here’s the deal:
Continue readingWhen the going gets tough, the candidate of hope and change, the one who assured us we’re in for the era of “a new kind of politics,” starts rolling around in the dirt and barking out the same old Chicago thuggery: “Sen. McCain bragged about how as chairman of the
Continue readingI was first introduced to the Bizarro World concept when I watched the brilliant Seinfeld episode in which Elaine stumbles across the good doppelgängers of her self-centered, fairly conscience-free group of friends (Jerry, Kramer, George and Newman). When she describes the “good” guys to her group, Jerry says that she

Continue readingAbe Greenwald looks at the vast differences between the values of America’s enemies and semi-enemies (such as Iran, North Korea, and Russia), as well as Obama’s naive and dangerous inability to understand that the leaders and fanatics in those nations are not like us.
Continue readingThe other day, as part of my “false syllogism” post, I noted the way in which the Left continues to be, as it was in Marx’s heyday, fanatically hostile to religion. If you doubt me, just check out Patrick’s gimlet eyed examination of Cintra Wilson’s attacks on Palin and other
Continue readingIn a world of disappointments, one thing always comes through for me: the Watcher’s Council. Every week, week after week, Council members submit stellar articles, both from their own blogs and from other fine sites around the internet. This week, of course, is as good as any (indeed, posts seem
Continue readingThe media is struggling with difficult decisions. On the one hand, media members have to ask themselves if they should report about Sarah Palin’s tanning bed, the fact that she was interested in seeing her ex-brother-in-law lose his job after issuing death threats to her father and tasering her nephew,

Today, Thomas was good enough to revisit his original premise and analyze how it helps Republicans generally (which is
Continue readingSan Francisco recently abandoned its policy of giving refuge to illegal immigrants if they were juvenile offenders. Now, unsurprisingly, we learn that criminals were taking advantage of the City’s useful idiot policy and playing it for all it was worth. You see, almost a third of the so-called “juvenile” offenders
Continue readingTwo days ago, word broke that Barack Obama, despite myriad campaign promises to bring the troops home from Iraq as soon as possible, tried to derail withdrawal talks in order to advance his own political agenda. Yesterday, Barack Obama issued a weirdly phrased denial that called Amir Taheri (the journalist
Continue readingKansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is now accusing Republicans of speaking “code” to make racist remarks about Obama: Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using “code language” to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them.”Have
Continue readingAlmost three years ago, Thomas Lifson wrote what I think is one of the most important political analyses I’ve ever read — and one that goes a long way to explaining the way in which American voters are slowly abandoning Obama and coalescing around the McCain ticket. Thomas believes that

It refuses to allow Gurkha veterans — you know, the ones who fought and were willing to die for England — into the
