Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I got this from a fairly reliable source: If you’re on Twitter, set your location to Tehran & your time zone to GMT +3.30. Iranian security forces are hunting for bloggers using location/timezone searches. The more people at this location, the more of a logjam it creates for forces trying
Continue readingWhen Polish dockworkers stood against the might of the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan spoke immediately and loudly about absolute principles, such as freedom and the dignity of man: The Polish nation, speaking through Solidarity, has provided one of the brightest, bravest moments of modern history. The people of Poland are
Continue readingThe Anchoress has a swift, comprehensive analysis of the situation in Iran, along with an amazing collection of links (including one to yours truly). Check it out, since it is a pathway to Iran enlightenment. UPDATE: Andrea Shea King has another great round-up (again with a kind link to me),
Continue readingThese are dark and difficult times, so it’s good to remember to laugh. I thought these, which came in an email, were laugh-worthy: SIGNS ON SYNAGOGUE BULLETIN BOARDS: 1. Under same management for over 5763 years. 2. Don’t give up. Moses was once a basket case. 3. What part of
Continue readingIt seems the worst is over (thank God!), but it’s not too late to send your prayers to Patrick, the Paragraph Farmer. On Tuesday, he and his daughter were in a car accident and, while he walked away, his daughter was ejected from the car and hit her head. She’s
Continue readingIn the email giving the heads up about this post, Steve Schippert had one word, which he practically yelled: “H.U.G.E.” As you may recall, early on in this Iranian thing, I wondered if the protest would coalesce around anything. Without a focus, it would just drift away. With a focus
Continue readingOne of the major problems conservatives face is the limitations of their own nature. We’re conservative after all. Our passion is putting our heads down and getting on with the work of life: earning a living, raising our families, serving our communities. We tend not to be protesters. Or more
Continue readingPeople of Iran: Traditionally, the president of the United States has been the spokesperson for the people of the United States — or, at least, for a majority of the people of the United States. For the first time in modern history, however, we have a president who appears incapable
Continue readingThings have changed little since Mark Twain: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” The Times is trumpeting a poll showing a huge number of Americans support Obama’s health care plan. As Bruce Kesler explains, though, the devil is in the details, and quite the little
Continue readingPlease watch this only if you have a strong stomach and a true desire to see what life is like in a totalitarian regime. This is not about watching a snuff film (although it felt like it). This is a reminder to Americans about the government Barack Obama is currently

Continue readingBy now, all of you are familiar with the Obama administration’s effort to shut down an Inspector General who was making life uncomfortable for a big Obama supporter. IG Walpin contended that Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson was misusing federal funds (to the tune of $800,000 plus) for his personal benefit.
Continue readingDuring the campaign, Biden warned that Obama would be tested in his first six months in office. We all assumed that Biden knew about a planned terrorist attack on the US. That could still happen, of course, although I devoutly hope it won’t. At exactly the five month mark, however,
Continue readingHere is absolutely everything you need to know about the proposed Obama/Democratic health care plan: The president is barnstorming the nation, urging swift approval of legislation that is taking shape in Congress. This legislation — the Affordable Health Choices Act that’s being drafted by Sen. Edward Kennedy’s staff and the
