Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Everyone makes mistakes. Some are unforgivable. But what also makes mistakes unforgivable, whether they are mighty or minor, is the actor’s refusal to issue a real apology. Today, Perry smartly issued a mea culpa for mandating HPV vaccinations in Texas. This was smart both because it spoke to those who
Continue readingThe Left is very, very, very worried about Rick Perry. At Mother Jones, Kevin Drum has assembled a long list of alleged problems Perry has, all of which explain (in Drum’s mind) why Perry can’t possibly win. Aside from the fact that the list is jaw-droppingly amusing (I’ll explain more

Dionne assures us that Obama is packed so tight into a corner, he’s finally ready to fight. Finally. Really. Yup, the old fighter’s still there. Honest. For Obama’s lieutenants, his

As I read it, the core of is argument is that Romney is the seasoned Republican campaigner, whose weaknesses have already been thoroughly exposed by a hostile media. Perry still has ahead, as Hayward says, a

After a great deal of rather painful internal debate, I’ve decided to ban Zachriel. Indigo Red, discussing a Zachriel-type commenter named Mudkitty, best sums up my thoughts on the subject: Some of my best
Continue readingThe MSM is already going after Rick Perry, so I thought you’d like an alternative source of information about the man. Back in July, Pesky Truth put together a detailed analysis of all the non-religious accusations being thrown against Perry. It is well worth reading. Armed with all the information,

The overt propaganda shows we discussed were All In The Family and Family Ties. In both,
