Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Danny, here! Have you noticed how we, as a nation, increasingly talk past each other? So, hang with me here while I make my case for why. We are trying to accommodate two fundamentally incompatible and opposite moral codes: a Judeo-Christian code and a Marxist-Progressive code. We on the Judeo-Christian

Continue readingI enjoy reading my Liberal-Lefty friends’ Facebook posts because they are so insightful into the mindsets of the Left. One insight that I have gained over time is that the differences between us conservatives and the Progressive/Left are so profound that they are unlikely to ever be bridged, barring some
Continue readingI say “no”. Sad to say, the “people” voted for the Democrats who voted for Obamacare. It is now the law of the land. By trying to impede Obamacare, the Republicans are only setting themselves up to be blamed for its failings. As H.L. Mencken put it: “Democracy is the

But it isn’t just Detroit’s finances that have collapsed, as one of my favorite writers and analysts, Richard Fernandez (aka Wretchard the Cat) writes in his blog
Continue readingWe know that Alinsky-inspired Lefty Democrat rhetoric is designed to smack down opponents and dominate discussion. These are rhetorical tools that were perfected by Communists and Nazis during the 1920s and 1930s. But, it can’t be denied that these tactics work! We need counter tactics. It is embarrassing to see
Continue readingDanny Lemieux, here. Watching the unfolding hysteria with regard to the Zimmerman trial in Florida, it is hard for me not to interpret the activities of the Obama Administration and the media as active provocation designed to induce riots and retribution against George Zimmerman. The mainstream media has already judged

The fact is, I am too exhausted to be constantly looking for a job or working more-than one job.” She let it be known that she really resented the implication that she should be expected to go out and work hard to earn her own financial support.
Continue readingWe won’t change what appears to be happening with increasing frequency to our society until we decide that we will stand up and dare to speak out against the increased depravity of our culture. Definitely “uncool”, but we must do it…for all families, for the kids and for our future. Otherwise, it can only continue to get much, much worse. It is the age of the wolf.

The key take-away: “Once again, you don’t need a lecture from this Frenchman, but it seems to me

However,

Continue readingQuite clearly, our own environmentally sensitive natives believed that all one needed to do was to build bricks, mortar and steel into modern-looking structures, pick an environmentally friendly “technology” with a cool sounding name and, voila! Magic benefits would come out of thin air – endless BTUs of cheap, pollution-free, guilt-free, Gaia-approved energy that defied the laws of physics, engineering and economics.
