Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Everyone is commenting on the travesty that sees countries such as the Sudan and Iran on the UN Commission on the Status of Women. It makes perfect sense to me. If the commission had been named “Commission for the Protection of Women,” or “Commission for the Liberation of Women,” things
Continue readingApparently a video of her employees gleefully cuddling up to the Muslim Brotherhood, all the while trashing conservatives, Tea Partiers, and Jews, was the infamous straw that broke the NPR camel’s back: Vivian Schiller just got fired. (Although NPR is already phrasing it as a resignation — a forced resignation,
Continue readingToday is the day for videos showing Progressives humiliating themselves in front of the American people. Ron Schiller didn’t know he was on television, but Cenk Uygur, an MSNBC talking head, did — although he didn’t let that national audience stop him from making a bigoted fool of himself. The
Continue readingMichelle Malkin’s cousin is still missing. The police are currently disinclined to call her disappearance foul play. However, because she has been on anti-depressants, there seems to be a concern that she might have harmed — or be contemplating harm to — herself. Merely taking anti-depressants doesn’t mean one has
Continue readingI’m actually grateful to NPR. It was its unbelievably biased Israel coverage that helped me make the break with my reflexive liberalism and take a long, hard look at my political beliefs and party affiliation. Nevertheless, it irks me no end that my taxpayer money funds NPR, PBS and local
Continue readingMichelle Malkin’s cousin, who lives in Seattle, has vanished. Michelle is asking for help locating her. Please go here for specific information. Remember, all it takes is one person to make a difference. My prayers are with Michelle and her family.
Continue readingIn America, each side of the political aisle routinely accuses the other of engaging in “scare” tactics. Each side is right. Doomsday scenarios are how you engage an increasingly distracted population. My question for you is, when it comes to predicting doomsday scenarios to engage the population, which side is
Continue readingFor months now, local charitable organizations have been sounding the drum: if taxpayer money goes away, we vanish. In other words, if evil Republicans get their hands on the budget, poor people will suffer. I’m already wise to this propaganda, having lived through 1994’s welfare reform. We were told then
Continue readingMy sister, who is fairly non-political, thinks it’s a dreadful thing that so many Americans think Obama is a Muslim. She was shocked when I suggested that Americans are not alone in this belief. I started with a classic Jewish joke: Sammy gets rich and buys himself a yacht. He
Continue readingThis instruction sheet on the “how-to” of a Thomas Friedman column is from 2004, but it’s as fresh, funny and accurate today as it was on the day it was published. Hat tip: Ricochet
Continue readingI got the latest Commentary Magazine in the mail yesterday, so that’s what I’m reading today. What are you reading today?
Continue readingFor conservatives and libertarians, the movie icons might be High Noon or True Grit. For Liberals, the defining anthem is John Lennon’s “Imagine“. Why is there such a fundamental gulf between ourselves and Liberals, to the point where we find ourselves simply talking past each other? Can this gulf ever
Continue readingThe core problem, which this video illustrates, is that the government forces public sector employees to pay dues to public sector unions, that then use those dues to buy elections, to place into power politicians who raise taxes to pay ever higher government salaries and pensions. This has nothing to
Continue readingThis is a lovely matched set, because I know the New York Times editors would be horrified to realize that they’ve perfectly proved Bill Whittle’s point. First, watch Bill Whittle, who is about 90% right. (What he misses, I think, is that while consumerism is diffused amongst individuals, manufacturing, to
Continue readingMark Steyn harmonizes with my thoughts about liberal wars and multiculturalism, and Andy McCarthy gives an in-depth, erudite analysis of something I’ve also pointed out before: the totalitarian statism that ties together the Left and radical Islam.
