Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Just a reminder that we’ve been here before: Ronald Reagan: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” Barry Goldwater: “A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all
Continue readingWe all know that in the news world, “man bites dog” gets the front page, while “dog bites man” is ignored. In a twisted way, then, one could say that the wall-to-wall Abu Ghraib coverage reflected the media’s horror that the American military had morphed from honor to dishonor. (Or
Continue readingAs I do, my in-laws, all of whom are McCain supporters, live in a liberal community. They periodically get together with their conservative friends and bemoan the fact that lawn signs are stolen or despoiled, or that cars bearing McCain-Palin bumperstickers are targets of vandalism (keying, smashed windows, etc.). Along
Continue readingSteve Schippert’s focus has been on national security (he was one of the founders of ThreatsWatch.org), so for that reason alone he’s viewed the Obama candidacy and the Democratic ascendancy with dismay. He’s now concerned that even more may be at stake, as an Obama presidency threatens to undermine completely
Continue readingI love this story: a movie starring John Travolta was set to be filmed in a French suburb, so as to highlight the suffering of the young suburbanites. Unfortunately, these same suburbanites, clearly unaware of the liberal honor accorded to them, rioted so badly that filming had to stop: Filming
Continue readingI had a lovely time last night at a reception on the Bonhomme Richard, and plan on writing about it later today. However, other work calls, so I thought I’d fill this space with recommendations for interesting stuff you may want to read. In no particular order: William Katz, a

Continue readingPeriodically, after having read all of your comments, I just have to say thank you. I’m so blessed to have gathered here people who can argue passionately, but politely, who are knowledgeable, and who care deeply about what happens in America. You are all also wonderfully good writers, so that
Continue readingYou know me: Whenever I get a little worried about the presidential race, I retreat to my old videos. If you’re not familiar with the Nicholas Brothers, start watching intently at about 2:20, when the action suddenly picks up: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLJL01VpvbE[/youtube]

Continue readingMore and more evidence is oozing out that shows that Obama is not simply a liberal among Liberals, but that he’s actually a socialist — or, at least, he once was a socialist, and has neither explained nor apologized. We in the conservative blogosphere find this problematic, the Kos crowd
Continue readingIt’s short, so I’ll quote this post from Power Line in its entirety: America: Last Refuge for the Left? Mark Steyn makes a good point: If Obama is elected in November, at G7 meetings, for the first time since time they began, America will have a more left-wing leader than
Continue readingI’m not going to do anymore blogging today, but I wanted to direct your attention to three articles that I found enlightening. In no particular order: 1. Andrew Klavan’s 5 Myths About Those Tinseltown Liberals, an article that excoriates the hypocrisy of Hollywood. 2. Michelle Malkin’s Crush the Obamedia Narrative
Continue readingI woke the family up bright and early today for a very special adventure. Courtesy of the Navy League, we headed over to Pier 30/32 in San Francisco to be part of a contingent of official ship’s greeters for the Bonhomme Richard. If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s

Here’s Obama promising to let ACORN and other Ailinsky style community organizers help shape his agenda: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vJcVgJhNaU[/youtube] Increasingly, as the election draws near, the problem isn’t Obama’s record, which is leaking out like oil from a
