Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A Vatican cardinal has weighed in on the fence the US is proposing to build between the US and Mexican border, calling it “inhuman,” and comparing it to the Berlin Wall. The Catholic Church is in deep trouble if its spokesmen are unable to recognize the difference between a fence
Continue readingRather gloatingly, Hillary has indicated that healthcare reform is back on the table. I’m familiar with the problems of the uninsured, I know about the benefits of and problems with Medicare, I know about skyrocketing drug prices, etc. I can confidently argue both sides of each issue, since each side
Continue readingBritain’s Anglican Church seems to be waking up, not just to the terrorists within England’s borders, but to the fifth column as well. Thus, the second most senior Anglican in England has launched a full frontal, no holds barred attack against the BBC for being (a) anti-Christian and (b) afraid
Continue readingAs you may recall, I did a post on the way Sacha Cohen (as Borat), rather than exposing truly dangerous anti-Semitism, may be showing anti-Semites a way to get their feelings out into the open without fear of criticism or analysis. Aside from agreeing with my post, many of my
Continue readingJonah Goldberg reviews Andrew Sullivan’s new book here. I got an great giggle out of the following paragraph, especially since I’ve seen, both in his writing and during interviews, that Sullivan is fairly ignorant about American Constitutionalism: One of the things that lent panache to Sullivan’s writings is that he
Continue readingI posted the other day about an identity politics problem in Israel: an American Palestinian showed up in Israel for the gay pride parade, only to find himself and his friends on the receiving end of a violent beating from Muslim religious authorities. Surprisingly, the gay American Palestinian was surprised.
Continue readingI admit that it’s not fair to pick on Elton John. Although he is a truly talented musician, I don’t think anyone has ever accused him of being a deep thinker or a well-informed man. Nevertheless, something he said a few days ago caught my eye, because I think it
Continue readingThe Simpsons stopped being funny about a decade ago, so it’s no hardship to boycott the show. Even if it were screamingly funny, though, I’d still boycott it based on last night’s episode. I’d heard vague rumors about the episode — “The Simpsons takes on the Iraq War” — and
Continue readingThe Left likes underdogs. Gays are underdogs. Palestinians are underdogs. Muslims are underdogs. What happens when you throw all three into the mix? This: A group of gay Palestinian Americans canceled a planned pride march in East Jerusalem on Friday after one of them was beaten unconscious by a local

Continue readingGerry Charlotte Phelps nicely explains why out of control spending benefits Democrats and not Republicans. Again, the Republicans need to take these lessons home and learn from them very, very quickly.
Continue readingI’ve been hearing a lot of analyses about the recent Republican failure being due to a “culture of corruption” amongst Republicans. That’s horse puckey that’s being sold by the MSM. The Dems are equally corrupt (for goodness sake, land grabber Harry Reid is now the leading Democratic Senator), so corruption

Continue readingReally, it’s no surprise that radical Islam is gaining traction in England when this is the type of intelligence the natives are demonstrating: A man was rushed to hospital in Britain with severe internal injuries after trying to launch a powerful firework from his bottom, an ambulance service spokesman said.
Continue readingDo you remember that, when Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ was about to be released, liberals attacked it preemptively on the grounds that it would stir up anti-Semitic passions amongst its primitive viewers? Of course, nothing of the sort happened. Movie goers did not see the movie as
