Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In today’s New York Times, there’s a lengthy article about the humiliation routinely visited on elderly people who are called “dear” or “sweetie.” The message conveyed by those terms is demeaning, implying that the person on the receiving end is incompetent, and definitely placing the person in the “one down”
Continue readingThe following video draws heavily from a documentary KQED did about the Weather Undergroundbefore anybody really cared about Barack Obama. (I remember watching, and being revolted by, the documentary back when it first came out.) Then, the video neatly ties together the package of these very, very bad people and
Continue readingThe subtitle to the Wall Street Journal’s article, Biden’s Fantasy World, says it all: Sarah Palin may not know as much about the world, but at least most of what she knows is true.” Biden not only lied during the debate, he showed himself well ensconced in an alternate reality.
Continue readingHere’s one for the embittered crowd: While we’ve all heard about the Annenberg Challenge, I think few, if any, of us have heard about Obama’s eight years as director of the Joyce Foundation. You’d think he would have been playing up a directorship, considering that it would prove executive experience.
Continue readingAnother Saturday, and another post at McCain-Palin 2008, a blog with which I’m involved and that I want to promote. Here’s the start of this week’s post and, as always, if you like it, here’s the link to read the rest: Joshua Muravchik, a self-admitted Red Diaper baby, is now
Continue readingI’ve watched almost all of the debate, but it’s bedtime now, and I’ll have to save the rest for later. Three comments: 1. The first, the most obvious, and the most pressing question: How many botoxes did they kill to create that abnormally smooth, completely motionless forehead Biden was sporting?
Continue readingDean Barnett caught Obama in a flip-flop that took a mere eight days to go from flip to flop. Will the average American see it too? Will he care?
Continue readingA righteous Andrew McCarthey puts together in a single place what astute observers have long known: Obama is an active enemy of Free Speech. Using tried and true Leftist tactics, including coopting sympathetic officials in the current administration, Obama and his team are doing everything they can to stifle speech.
Continue readingThe polls reveal that “decideds” are swinging steadily to Obama (although Lord alone knows why), but that there are still a lot of undecideds out there. I have a hard time comprehending the whole undecided thing in this race. The candidates are not cut from the same cloth but, instead,
Continue readingOne of the most horrific things about both the Nazis and the Communists was the way in which they indoctrinated children. Children were encouraged to place the State — and especially the state’s leader, whether Hitler or Stalin — above the family, and to give their loyalty to the former,

If you can’t stand the heat, get goons to frighten your opponents — and in Missouri, this means rounding up Democratic government prosecutors and officials to threaten people with prosecution for political speech.
Continue readingDo you get the feeling that a lot of Democrats, having watched the first debate, are saying that their man is qualified to be in the White House merely because he managed not too drool all over himself and say anything too stupid? That is, they’re acknowledging that, substantively, McCain
Continue readingIf you’re like me, the second the debate ended, you got on your computer to check whether the consensus in the blogosphere jived with your own impressions of the first Presidential debate. I discovered that the general consensus (from both liberal and conservative bloggers) was that McCain scored on points.
