Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As a California tax payer, my taxes have, for years, been paying for college educations for illegal immigrants. I certainly admire anyone who is able to work hard and get into college, but I have a fundamental objection to paying my hard earned money so that someone who is in

Continue readingSuitably Flip is remarkably brilliant in analyzing Barack Obama’s first response to the economic problems plaguing Wall Street right now. Go here and get good red ink visuals showing that Obama’s grasp of this problem is about as strong as his grasp of the Russia/Georgia situation was in the first
Continue readingFor many years, I’ve thought that people confuse fairly neutral conduct with bad motives, resulting in false syllogisms. I first came to this conclusion after reading John McWhorter’s wonderful Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America. Although my memories are a bit hazy about the details of the book, I

Continue readingAs you may recall, Obama simply couldn’t get around to visiting wounded troops during his whirlwind European tour. Many suspected that his unwillingness to make those visits was the fact that the cameras would have to stay outside the hospital doors. George Bush is a different kind of politician, that’s

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

Here’s the beginning of my post, and I hope you’ll click over there to see the end: Interestingly, the two concepts in my post title have ancient roots. More than twenty-five hundred years

Continue readingIt turns out that Charles Gibson has two different interview modes. If you’re male, black and a Democrat, it’s very loving. If you’re female, white and a Republican, it’s condescending, aggressive, and dishonest. I know that from all the articles I’ve read about each interview. Now, the Anchoress reprints a
