Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Arab despots, leaders who normally would have ended up on the dunghill of history, have maintained their status through petrodollars. The American left, by resolutely putting the kibosh on potential alternative fuel sources (ANWR and nuclear are the ones that spring to mind), have ensured that are money keeps flowing
Continue readingI read the other day (and am too lazy to hunt down a link), that some genetically modified rice got mixed into the American rice crop. It’s significant only because Europe has now closed the door on all American rice: The European Commission will begin testing U.S. long-grain rice to
Continue readingAll of you who are parents remember this scene from when your children were very, very small: First, you see your child get injured, whether it’s a cut or a blow. You react instantly but, interestingly enough, there’s a pause before your baby responds. That pause is so that your

Continue readingI was only gone one day and two nights, but I’m as tired as if I trekked the Himalayas. The fact that, even now that we’re home, the kids are screaming in the background (“Give it to me. You promised me!” “I did not. You’re cheating.” “Mommy!” “MOMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!”), may go
Continue readingI’ll keep this short, because I’m struggling with a micro keyboard on my 36 hour holiday. A comment thread some time ago concerned whether I was right or wrong in discounting Human Rights Watch’s endless attacks on Israel. I therefore read this with interest: The New York Sun publishes an
Continue readingWe all have assumptions that guide us, and we’re not obligated to explain them every time, regarding everything we say. However, to be an intelligent audience, we must always understand the speaker’s assumptions. In this excerpt from How The Left Was Won : An In-Depth Analysis of the Tools and
Continue readingHere’s more, with the author’s permission, from How The Left Was Won : An In-Depth Analysis of the Tools and Methodologies Used by Liberals to Undermine Society and Disrupt the Social Order. This is from a chapter which demonstrates how liberals, rather than having a core believe in individuality in

Promote and Exploit Divisiveness (page 1-3) Let’s face it, when you get

Continue readingHis language is a bit more colorful than mine, but Ron Down Under complete nails the fact that the UN buffer is illusory (something already being demonstrated by the fact that no UN member states want to put their troops there), as well as the dangerous dilemma facing the Arab
Continue readingJoe Rosenthal shot the iconic Iwo Jima photograph that shows the Marines raising the second flag on that blood-soaked island. As Rosenthal made clear, this was not a posed photograph; it was not false propaganda: Ten years after the flag-raising, Rosenthal wrote that he almost didn’t go up to the

Continue readingI’m one of those people who never, never has a good comeback in conversation. Hurl an insult or a fallacy at me and I’m the one with my mouth agape. (Typically, the French have a phrase for it: “Esprit de l’escalier.”) I can tell that something is wrong with what
Continue readingI mentioned before that I watched The Long Way Home, a documentary about the Jewish experience in the years between the liberation of the camps and the founding of the State of Israel. One of the things that movie reminded me about was the similarities between the tactics Jewish militants
