Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In the past, I’ve tried to explain that the Nazis were not right wingers and that the nomenclature of “left” versus “right” is pretty meaningless in today’s political world. Matthew Burden takes on the same issue in his Cavuto interview, explaining that American conservatives are not the same as white
Continue readingThe Democrats, corrupted by power, are now seeking absolute power. Here’s the story from the horse’s mouth, the horse in this case being Minority Whip, Eric Cantor: In a completely unprecedented fashion, House Democrats have used their power as the majority party to shut out floor amendments from the minority party
Continue readingWell, actually, the Council spoke last week, and I’ve just been a little slow recording the vote here. I actually would have voted for different winners in the non-Council category, but the overall quality of everything is so high, I’m just quibbling, not making any sort of protest: Council Submissions

Slight dip in the economy notwithstanding, they’re fat and happy, they like me, and they’re going to sit idly by as I effect the complete
Continue readingDrudge announced today that ABC news is going to use its June 24, 2009 broadcast to shill for Obama’s attempt to nationalize health care: On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to
Continue readingI’m showing my age, but I just had to listen to the Bee Gees, and I think this is one of their best: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrUAMvd9cyQ[/youtube] UPDATE: Ask and you shall receive: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBR2G-iI3-I[/youtube] And yes, I agree, this was one of the greatest songs the disco era produced, although I would be
Continue readingIn one paragraph, Richard Baehr says so much: Voters can be fooled, but they can tell the difference between a friend and a bully. Obama made the decision to bully Israel over settlements, and make it the focus of his Middle East strategy. The events in Iran over the weekend

Continue readingMany have commented on the myriad factual errors Obama made his Cairo speech. These mistakes must have been deliberate, because they are the only way that he could justify his conclusions. That is, the facts do not support Obama’s conclusions. One sees this most clearly when contrasting Obama’s speech to
Continue readingIt’s the first day of summer, so I’ve got slumber party guests and I’m rushing around preparing for the bimonthly cleaning lady visit. (And yes, I do clean my house for the cleaning ladies. It’s a division of labor. They don’t know where to put away all the messy things
Continue readingAt some point today, I passed the 1,000,000 reader mark! That’s very cool. I know, though, that most of those hits are of the hit-and-run variety, from people who check something out and never return. They’re good for the numbers, but not good for my soul. What’s good for my
Continue readingI commented on and graded Obama’s much heralded speech to the Muslim world, so I think it only fair to grade Bibi’s speech, which is directed to much the same audience (plus the western world, too). As I did with Obama’s speech, I’m making me comments in real time, without
Continue readingWHO excitedly announced a few days ago that swine flu was a pandemic. To my old-fashioned mind, pandemic means a deadly disease running riot around the world, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Swine flu is definitely traveling, and it’s out of season, but so far
Continue readingI doubt many Americans even remember Flag Day anymore. I had forgotten, but that’s only because I’ve lost track numerically of the days. I knew this was the Sunday after school ended and before the kids’ vacation started but that’s pretty much where I left off. Had I said to
