Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
France has always been at the vanguard of the move to accommodate radical Islam. Whether it’s refusing to enforce UN sanctions against Iraq, refusing to join the coalition in Iraq, undermining Israel, or fawning over Arafat, you can count on the French for groveling, self-interested appeasement. It’s appropriate, therefore, that
Continue readingAlthough you wouldn’t guess it from the typos peppering my posts, I do care about grammar. Apparently some corporations should also start caring about grammar. In Canada, the spin a sentence received from a comma cost $888,000 to a party to a commercial dispute. To toot my horn, I’ve helped
Continue readingThe New York Times has never met a capitalist country it likes, but that doesn’t stop it from occasionally observing the unpalatable truth: Nearly four decades ago, South Vietnamese leaders mapped out their battle plans inside the presidential palace here. When they lost the war, the palace became the base
Continue readingWhat happened to Michael J. Fox is a tragedy — but tragedy is not a good basis for deciding broad-reaching moral issues, such as stem cell research. Much more useful is actual information, such as Mary Davenport’s accessible science writing explaining why stem cell research has so far failed completely

Continue readingOne of the problems in the upcoming Florida election is that Mark Foley’s name is still on the ballot. Republican voters in Foley’s district may think that, with Foley gone, there’s no one to vote for, and simply pass on their Congressional vote. Don’t do that. By ticking off Foley’s

Continue readingAs you may have noticed, the grim (for Republicans) poll data is suddenly shifting, with new life being breathed into Republican campaigns. Someone predicted that months ago, and I think it’s worth honoring that prediction. All the way back in early September, Thomas Lifson wrote about two political seasons: attentive
Continue readingIf you have time, read Michael Fumento’s entire article about Iraq War correspondents who opine about events all over Iraq, but seldom leave the comfort of their Baghdad hotel rooms. If you don’t have time, you’ll still get the point from this single paragraph: Vietnam was the first war to
Continue readingIf you’re one of the disgruntled Republicans thinking of boycotting the polls, don’t. Today, Michael Medved offers eight reasons why you should support your local Republican candidates. Reason number one, standing alone, is good enough for me: 1. Judges. On April 20th of next year, Justice John Paul Stevens (arguably

Continue readingI’m one of those people who can walk into a room and instantly recognize what’s wrong with it design-wise. Thus, I can tell when the colors are off, the furniture is too this or too that, the floor plan is awkward, etc. This would be a very useful skill, and

Continue readingOver at American Thinker, you can read about Nyamko Sabuni, Sweden’s new Integration and Equality Minister. Contrary to the Orwellian overtones in that title, Ms. Sabuni, a Muslim, is vocally opposed to female circumcision and arranged marriages, among other things. The American Thinker squiblet takes Ms. Sabuni’s appointment as the
Continue readingThere’s a dangerous trend amongst Republicans right now to say that the Republican Congress has been weak and profligate and to announce a plan to “punish” Republicans by abstaining from the elections, voting for third party candidates, or even voting for Democrats. I’m sure the Republicans will get the message,
