Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
“Logic! Why don’t they teach logic at these schools?” — C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Neither Data nor Mr. Spock, two relentlessly logical creations, could ever be liberals or Democrats or Progressives, or whatever the Hell else they’re calling themselves nowadays. (For convenience, I’ll just lump

Continue readingA few days ago, in the wake of a concerted (and almost certainly fraudulent) attack against the Tea Party by claiming its members are racist, I wrote a post in which I said that, if I’m going to be called a racist, I get to define the term to accord
Continue readingOne of the things I love about Andrew Breitbart is that he’s willing to challenge the bluffs and cons emanating from the Left. While the Republican establishment was apologizing for the alleged claim that Tea Partiers hurled the “n-word,” Breitbart figured out that the absence of footage was significant —
Continue readingHorrified by the fact that the American people are not dancing in the streets now that Obama Care is the law of the land, the Left is doing what it does best: tarring and feathering anyone who stands in its way. The current libel is that people who oppose Obama
Continue readingOkay, folks, I’m going to admit to racism here, by which I mean that I’m advancing a position based on racial considerations. I just learned through The Corner that there is an online conservative journal on the scene called Freedom’s Journal Magazine. Aside from the fact that it has one
Continue readingI can think of a billion reasons to dislike Harry Reid. The fact that he called Obama a “negro” is not one of them. It simply shows his age. (Although I do agree with Lloyd Marcus that it’s fine to be offended by Reid’s assumptions about white Americans.) The problem,
Continue readingI just returned from seeing Disney’s latest release, The Princess and the Frog. Looked at purely from an entertainment standpoint, the movie is a delight. The hand drawn animation is imaginative and, at times, exquisitely beautiful. When the Bayou lights up at sunset with fireflies, every little girl in the

Continue readingJennifer Rubin has a very good post today about the reasons that the “smart” Obama may be struggling so mightily to be a good president. She offers three basic reasons that may explain Obama’s ineptitude, whether it touches economics, diplomacy, or national security: First, the punditocracy confused credentials with knowledge

Having learned that they get a free pass for egregious behavior antithetical to democratic government
Continue readingIt’s such a little thing, but it’s such a big reminder that Obama, hectorer in chief, really does feel that he is above all the things that he tells the little people to do: President Obama took a bike ride with his family today in Aquinnah, on Martha’s Vineyard. The
