Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Republican voters, struggling to decide which candidate will best handle the myriad problems facing America under the Obama regime — problems that include a stagnant economy, a collapsing Europe, a boiling Middle East, etc. — were treated to a New Hampshire debate that focused on . . . birth control.
Continue readingOne of the Progressive tropes is that conservatives are anti-science. As with everything emanating from the Left, not only is this untrue about conservatives, but it falsely implies that Progressives respect science. One only needs to see the celebration about a defeated initiative in Mississippi to appreciate how deeply anti-science
Continue readingOver the past week, China has been convulsed by a video that shows a little girl — 2 years old — clad in pink trousers, struck by two vans and then ignored by over a dozen passers-by, who cavalierly stepped around her broken, bleeding body: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05P0mjtnoD8[/youtube] Little Yue Yue has
Continue readingI presented my daughter with the following scenario: Imagine that the president you elected has been in the White House for one term. During that time, everything that indicates the health of the country is worse than when your man came into office. Whether one looks at the economy, national
Continue readingAt lunch today, I was telling Don Quixote about the abortion debate going on here. I added, jokingly, that I really regret the fact that logic, morality and life experience had inevitably pushed me into a pro-Life (or, at least, mostly pro-Life) position. After all, with a beautiful teenage daughter,
Continue reading“Killing a fetus in utero is not the same thing as killing a sentient human being. When the right gets around to facing scientific facts and abiding by what they say, then we can have an intelligent discussion on the issue. The US killed tens of thousands of people who
Continue readingEarlier today, I urged you to read Peter Wehner’s post about the way in which Leftist ideology paves the way for massacres — massacres that the Left often refuses to ignore, because they don’t fit into the Leftist narrative. I was thinking about this peculiar morality in connection with a
Continue readingA few months ago a movie came out based on a premise that was, for me, an entirely new concept: a Hall Pass or, license from ones spouse to have sex, once, outside of marriage. (I understand that the movie, which I didn’t see, ultimately made the point that having
Continue readingI’m not quite sure how to describe this one without giving away the whole weird little joke. Suffice to say that it’s quick and amusing. As for this one, you’ll be interested to know that Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians (“RCO”) believes women should be advised that, generally speaking, abortions
Continue readingThe MSM, Gosnell and Planned Parenthood all come together in a single post at The Anchoress’ place. Do read it. The MSM has many obsessions — that is, stories it covers relentlessly and obviously — but the moral collapse that so often circles around abortion is not one of those
Continue readingFirst, check out this post at Brutally Honest. Then, come back and talk to me. Here are my thoughts: Wow! Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. It’s true that, before ashes turn to ashes and dust to dust, dead mammals — all dead mammals — can be classified as
Continue readingMr. Bookworm loathes Sarah Palin: “She’s not one of us.” I don’t know what he means. She’s a married mom with children. She went to college. She and her husband work. They pay taxes. She doesn’t drink (or not to excess), smoke, or do drugs (so far as we know).
Continue readingI thought one of the purposes behind legal abortion was to prevent things like this from happening. You know, “safe, legal and rare.” Awful, awful, awful.
Continue readingI indulged myself today by staying assiduously away from the computer. If there was going to be a train crash, I didn’t want to see it happen. What’s really irksome isn’t that Stupak is the usual Demo ho (pardon my language), but that he was willing to sell his soul
Continue readingStupak’s going to make his much awaited statement while I’m off working out. So far, he’s had a spine and has distinguished himself from other Democrats by actually letting a principle guide him. I suspect, though, that his 11:00 press conference will be a weasely explanation of why he’s caved
