Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If we’re going to do a Right of Return, I think we should be methodical. Those who had first dibs on the land currently known as Israel get first dibs today. Let’s work our way down the list: The first known occupiers were probably the Canaanites. As far as I
Continue readingI suspect that this has been happening for a while, but I only became aware of it now: my kids’ science classes are using animals as a way to bring children into the environmental, global warming movement. This is more than lonely polar bears standing on shrinking icebergs, an iconic
Continue readingExcerpts from Netanyahu’s speech to AIPAC. Please note his clarity, as opposed to the muddled, self-exculpatory, whining, ahistorical, ignorant speech of our own “great communicator.” Yesterday, they let me out. My wife got to visit Washington’s majestic memorials. I read Jefferson’s timeless words, “We hold these truths to be self-evident
Continue readingOnce again, the incomparable Richard Fernandez finds the right words to precisely define the problem, without which there can be no solution: “When historians look back on the first decades of the 21st century they may conclude that the political and economic crisis that swept over the world was the
Continue readingBoth the SEALS and Charlie Sheen have been in the news lately, the SEALS for an extraordinarily well-planned, brave and effective operation, and Charlie Sheen because he’s a drugged-out piece of human detritus. Did you know, though, that the two — that is, the SEALS and Sheen — have something
Continue readingYou guys are all connected to the news, so I know that you already know about the Supreme Court decision forcing California to release up to 46,000 prisoners because of the appalling conditions in California prisons. As a California resident, I’m less than thrilled about the fact that people who
Continue readingOur youth isn’t always determinative of our mature years. Many people sow oats, or simply make stupid decisions, when they are young. The wise ones grow up; the unwise ones merely become old(er) people with bad judgment. Here are pictures of Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama when they were young.
Continue readingI disagreed with John Podhoretz’s casual dismissal of Candidate Herman Cain, but I believe he is absolutely right about the reason more seasoned political figures are saying “include me out”: So why is this happening? Simple. You’ve probably heard that the president and his team are looking to raise $1
Continue readingI don’t know how well Pawlenty will run, but I could certainly vote for him, even using a higher standard than ABO (Anyone But Obama): [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i66q1f3M3w[/youtube]
Continue readingI managed to catch about five minutes of Rush today, during which time he talked about the fact that some states are floating the idea (or actually going through with the idea) of cutting down the length of time for state unemployment benefits. Rush’s comment (and I’m paraphrasing) was to
Continue readingGuys, this one’s for you: Right Wing News has assembled a list of the “20 hottest conservative women,” as voted upon by a distinguished panel of male conservative bloggers and columnists. What makes this year’s list especially great — putting aside the fact that young conservative women, who looked groomed,
Continue readingI’m off to work out, which will either leech out what little energy I have left in me this morning or re-energize me. As I work out, I’ll say a prayer for the people of Joplin, Missouri.
Continue readingCheap fuel is an important key to peace, human welfare and prosperity. We have the key. The world can’t do without fuel and the scramble for world fuel resources lies at the root of most of our current geopolitical problems. The high price of fuel affects the environment (e.g., 3rd
Continue readingI agree with Bruce Kesler. His analysis is spot-on. I’m going to add two frivolous comments (because it is, after all, a Sunday, a day on which deep thought seems to elude me). When when Obama tried to put Bibi in his place, the image that came to my mind
Continue readingDo I mind that Mitch is out in 2012? No. Even though I understand that he’s a stellar government executive, with some good (although not great) conservative chops, I could not like him. I would have voted for him on the ABO (Anyone But Obama) principle, but I wouldn’t have
