Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Bruce Kesler sent around an email asking whether we thought victory was possible in Afghanistan. My reply was that I don’t think the Democrats can conceive of victory as a possible outcome. As I wrote to him, I’m the child of parents who fought in WWII and the Israeli War
Continue readingDid you know that there is a place called the Naval Safety Center? There is. In Norfolk, VA. Did you know that the Center has a website? It does. Here. And did you know that, every week, the website runs the most amazing photos you’ve ever seen of people doing
Continue readingI actually have paying work today (a good thing), but it makes for slow blogging (a bad thing). Here are a few interesting links from a limited number of sources: Lies and the lying presidents who tell them about health care. Democrats play the race card (about which I’ll have
Continue readingI’ve got two quick environmental links for you today. The first has to do with pollution. You know that I’ve said at this blog all along that cap-and-trade is stupid, not only because it will destroy America’s economy, but because the really big up-and-coming polluters are China and India. Turns
Continue readingThere is no bliss inherent in the ignorance displayed by one judge in England: A judge lambasted a rapist for claiming his victim was a liar – then commended him for becoming a muslim. Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC sentenced Stuart Wood for seven years for the attack, then told him:
Continue readingI watched this short video that I found at Michelle Malkin’s site: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VMXz6xGeqc[/youtube] As I watched this video, I had this very weird feeling that something was deeply, deeply wrong with this protest. It looks wrong. I’m a child of the Vietnam era, and I’ve managed to keep my eye
Continue readingMark Steyn is on to Obama’s game: But, for the sake of argument, let us concede the president’s current number of 30 million [represents the president’s decision to delete 17 million illegals from his count]. In order to do something for the 10 percent of the population outside the current
Continue readingThe nature of conservatism is to be . . . well, conservative. We don’t throw paint on people. We don’t burn figures in effigy. We don’t bite off fingers. We put our heads down and do our jobs. So when two million conservatives (and independents) take the time, the energy
Continue readingIn honor of our first rain this season (after a couple of years of drought) and of our first thunder and lightening storm in eight years, some videos. (And NO, I haven’t forgotten about the March in Washington, I’ve just been out this morning and haven’t been tracking it. I’ll

Continue readingThe current administration seems bound and determined to forget 9/11. To this end, it grovels before those who wish to kill us, disarms those who wish to protect us (our military, our CIA), frees those who have raised their hands against us, and tries to turn 9/11 into a socialist
Continue readingThe Wall Street Journal unsheathed its editorial knives in a slashing attack against the President’s health care speech. Some examples, although I really recommend that you read the whole thing: The thing about the bully pulpit is that Presidents can make the most fantastic claims and it takes days to
Continue readingEarlier this year, San Joaquin County was horribly shaken when 8-year old Sandra Cantu was kidnapped and murdered. It was even more shaken when it turned out that the murdering rapist was a woman. The San Joaquin County prosecutor’s office today announced that it would seek the death penalty against
Continue readingI enjoyed the way in which James Taranto summed up — and eviscerated — Obama’s innocuous suggestion that mandatory insurance is entirely akin to uninsured motorist insurance: In his speech to a joint session of Congress last night, the president offered what presumably was meant to sound like an innocuous,
Continue readingI met Lauren when I was at law school. She was still an undergraduate, but roomed with a friend of mine who had been one of her sorority sisters. The very first time I met Lauren, she’d been experimenting with hair colors, and had hair that was this beautiful combination
