Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Robert Avrech blogs at the delightful, interesting, moving and literate Seraphic Secret, one of my favorite places to visit on the internet. As a long-time Hollywood screenwriter, who has made a career despite being a politically conservative orthodox Jew in Hollywood, he also writes for Big Hollywood. Robert’s most recent
Continue readingI’ve predicted in this blog that, if America continues to coddle Iran, Saudi Arabia will give Israel access to its air space, although it may well lie about that fact later. Iran’s bluster was fine with the Arab Muslim nations as long as they thought the U.S. would ultimately slap
Continue readingI was meant to post this video because, just today, it came to me in three separate emails and Sadie linked to it in a comment. I knew some of these facts, but only a small portion. The sheer volume of charmingly presented information will amaze you: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbIQto3KPUM[/youtube]
Continue readingIn medieval times, the king’s fool was often the only one who could speak the truth, but that in the guise of a joke. Joe Biden is a little bit different. Obama didn’t mean him to be the truth-speaking fool but, apparently, the guy can’t help himself. AJ Strata caught

Continue readingAnother chapter in the “lies, damn lies and statistics” is the repeated claim from proponents of European-style socialized medicine that the US has the highest infant mortality rate of any first world country. This is a scathing indictment, implicating American poverty, racism, prenatal and post-natal care. The only problem is

Continue readingOne of the things I like about Neo’s posts is that she develops them so meticulously. In one her latest posts, she takes on the growing disenchantment with Obama, not just from conservatives, who were primed to be disenchanted, but from liberals who nevertheless were not prepared for someone as
Continue readingYou all know by now that Palin is abruptly quitting her job as Alaska’s governor. Speculation is rife as to her motives. Many see her as planning for her next political office. I don’t believe that. Nobody’s going to want a quitter in the White House. There’s got to be

The heretofore unknown weapon’s grade is Weymouth, Medicine, Democrats/Denial Katherine Weymouth, owner of the Washington Post, denied promoting the immediate destruction of
