Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Being a circumlocutious type myself, I’m not normally a fan of Glenn Reynold’s bullet point approach to sharing information. Nevertheless, it makes a powerful point in his post setting out an ever expanding laundry list of the efforts the Obama campaign is making to stifle open political debate. What’s really
Continue readingI thought this snippet of a comment from Lulu at my post regarding Obama’s narcissism was so good it deserved to be highlighted: McCain is not a narcissist. Can you imagine anyone gushing that “he is the one” around him or a member of the media announcing a “chill up
Continue readingIn the “I wish I’d said that” department is this truly excellent post from Power Line, pointing out that this crisis (a) establishes that McCain, not Obama, is a leader and (b) that the Democrats cannot possibly be telling the truth when they try to blame McCain for the House’s
Continue readingIBD, in yet another of its stellar editorials, reminds us that Barack may talk about “change,” but that it’s McCain who is the real maverick, a man who repeatedly breaks away from the status quo, especially when he thinks he is called upon to do so by the nation he
Continue readingThanks to 11B40 for leaving a link in a comment to an article called Understanding Obama : The Making of a Fuehrer. It’s long, but it nicely covers the personality cult that has formed about Obama and the narcissistic personality at the center of the cult. The article’s author, Ali
Continue readingAs I said yesterday, I don’t believe McCain was grandstanding when he decided to stop campaigning for a couple of days in order to help resolve America’s current financial problem. To me, it was a “country first” thing, with McCain putting the country ahead of his personal ambition. It turns
Continue readingYou’ve got to love an economics video that uses ABBA for its background music. You’ve also got to love an economics video that uses very simple language to show that Obama has been a very good friend to Fannie and Freddie, and they’ve loved him back, to the profound detriment
Continue readingThe Confederate Yankee launches a truly scathing attack on Obama’s fundamental lack of “American-ness” — and it has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with his profoundly un-American upbringing. I think you should read it. I will add only that some of the greatest patriots I’ve
Continue readingI don’t know about you, but I’m impressed as all get out by McCain’s decision to stop campaigning for a while and serve his country during what may be the most significant economic crisis since 1929: Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at
Continue readingI haven’t gotten up to speed yet this morning for blogging, but my fellow bloggers have, and they’ve already posted some good stuff. The Anchoress has noticed that, as the debates draw near, the MSM is working diligently to prepare the American audience . . . by lowering expectations. Obama,
Continue readingDr. Rusty Shackleford has been investigating the myriad smears that sprang into life instantly the moment Palin arrived on the political scene. The smears appeared to be the result of grass roots efforts from concerned citizens. Shackleford’s research shows that the opposite is true — that a PR firm has
Continue readingI’m not telling you anything new when I say I’ve always considered Obama a pompous bloviator. That’s unsurprisng, I guess, when you consider what serious, condescending business it is when you’ve allied yourselves with the Gods. At Forbes, Peter Robinson considers whether Obama’s humorless, thin-skinned personality is itself a recipe
Continue readingIt’s Saturday and I’m posting at McCain-Palin 2008. As always, since I think it’s a wonderful cooperative blog, I’d like to get more traffic headed its way and, therefore, I’m publishing the beginning of my post here in the hope that you finish reading the rest of it there: Biden
Continue readingGovernments tax people. They always have. A good question to ask, though, and one we haven’t seen asked lately is — what’s that money for? The Founders had an idea about what taxes were for. In the Constitution Art. I, Sec. 8, they spelled out the purpose behind taxes: The
Continue readingAt Iowa, McCain “gets in your face” mano a mano (that is, he doesn’t delegate his surrogates, but gives a speech to America, Obama included), and he focuses on the facts. This is a very concrete speech, which appropriately boasts his virtues and clearly exposes Obama’s failings: U.S. Senator John
