Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I got this email from Steve Schippert: It’s graphic. There is no nuance. And it’s why I am done debating otherwise intelligent friends on the aptness, nay brilliance, of our president’s near silence in condemnation of the Iranian regime which today executed its own Tienanmen Square in central Tehran. http://threatswatch.org/rapidrecon/2009/06/unimaginable-horror-in-tehran/
Continue reading[I posted this on Monday, but am moving it up to the top because today’s the day] I just got an email. If there’s a protest in San Francisco, you can bet your bottom dollar that, with a little research, you can find a protest in your neighborhood too. ******************
Continue readingRob Miller, who blogs at JoshuaPundit, thought that, because I support the protesters in the Iranian streets, I would disagree with his American Thinker article pointing out that much of what’s going on in Iran at the higher echelons is a sham: Are Mousavi and his followers in Iran an
Continue readingI haven’t banged the gong very much about Obama’s birth certificate, proving that he’s a natural born citizen. He’s authorized the production of a copy of a document from a Hawaiian hospital, and that seems to have set the matter at rest. In any event, there’s no getting around the
Continue readingObama was so sure that his magisterial silence alone would bring peace to the streets of Tehran. He’s right, in that the mullah’s are summarily ending the protests, but it’s a peace that only Tacitus would recognize.
Continue readingAmericans were promised that Obama had a perfect temperate: cool, calm and collected at all times. And certainly, in every interview, he was cool, calm and collected. Could that be because every interview was a fawning love-fest? It’s easy to control your temper and keep your head when everything’s going
Continue readingI dashed it off quickly and it shows in inelegant and repetitious passages, but I think the point I was making is a good one: Is Obama’s government planning unconstitutional invasions of citizen privacy? Tell me what you think. UPDATE: Funnily enough, today, for the first time in about ten
Continue readingBack in May 2008 2007, I examined the way in which Obama tells lies: Obama is also a fairly compulsive liar, something that highlights myriad other problems. That is, whenever he’s caught in a problematic situation (ah, those friends of his), rather than making a clean breast of it, or

Continue readingIf you’re old enough, you remember one of the tag lines from an early talkie: “Garbo speaks.” I almost called this post “Bookworm speaks,” because it contains my first (and possibly last) effort at podcasting. As for this recording, it might play in other formats, but I know that it

Continue readingTraditionally, in arguing cases to the court, there have been a very limited number of available types of legal authority: cases, statutes, administrative rules, and law review articles (with the last being advisory only) have pretty much made up the universe of things the court needs to consider. In this
Continue readingI wish that those of us who worried last year about Obama’s hostility towards Israel had been wrong. It seems, however, that we were right — and it’s only going to get worse.
Continue readingRiffing off the news that Obama intends to go ahead with a July 4 barbecue for Iranians, even though his guests hands are soaked in blood, a very upset Max Boot has this to say: It’s bad enough that the president is deliberately refraining from being too outspoken in favor
Continue readingI’ve made wonderful friends in the blogosphere and I’ve come to admire many bloggers whom I don’t have time to visit on a daily basis. At intervals that are far too infrequent, I visit these opinion sites and check out what they’ve got on tap. Here, in alphabetical order (’cause
