Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Earmarks are ugly. Even described in assiduously neutral government language they sound like nasty end runs around review and fairness: Earmarks are funds provided by the Congress for projects or programs where the congressional direction (in bill or report language) circumvents the merit-based or competitive allocation process, or specifies the
Continue readingFor a lame duck President, Bush is still adept at getting what he wants: The White House said it expects Michael Mukasey to be sworn in as attorney general Friday after the Senate confirmed the retired judge Thursday night. Michael Mukasey will begin meeting with Justice Department staff right away,
Continue readingI’ve got to run to a couple of meetings this morning, but wanted to alert you to the fact that Harry Reid is trying to get a cloture vote (that is, he’s trying to shut down debate) on the DREAM Act tomorrow. The DREAM Act is the one that mandate
Continue readingBoth the MSM and Democratic Senators are trying to co-opt the Rush Limbaugh letter story for Democratic ends. It’s worthwhile taking a step back, to the beginning of the entire affair, to understand just how egregiously they are undermining truth to create a new, Progressive reality for the American people.
Continue readingDuring any other war, the following list that Vasko Kohlmayer complied would show treasonous conduct. In this War, it’s politics as usual: • They have repeatedly conceded defeat in Iraq with Harry Reid claiming ‘this war is lost;’ • They purposefully downplay any and all American military successes; • They
Continue readingBack in 1991, I was a good, unthinking liberal soldier. I was appropriately horrified when George Bush nominated Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court and was just thrilled when Anita Hill fortuitously showed up. In my own defense, since I’m not a manipulative person, it never occurred to me that
Continue readingI’ve kept quiet about the phony “Phony Soldier” attack against Rush because others are exposing the Dem’s idiocy much better than I could and, up until about five minutes, I didn’t feel I had anything even marginally original to add. What occurred to me five minutes ago, however, was the
Continue readingI’m not commenting on this piece of Legislation one way or another. However, to the extent that (1) it involves a big fight between the Democrats and one of their strongest constituencies, (2) the constituency represents only a small fraction of Americans overall, and (3) that the fight is over
Continue readingMy readership has flatlined. I’m only complaining a little mind you, because I’m really quite happy with the regular conversations I have with those of you kind enough to visit here on a regular basis and then to stick around and talk with me when you come. Still, I have

Continue readingI quickly wanted to touch on a couple of money matters. First, you may recall the absolute horror Americans experienced a few years ago when they heard about the size of the national debt. We were so broken in many people’s minds that there seemed to very little separating us
Continue readingEarlier this week, in “He’s not my President,” I blogged about the fact that many Democrats are, in fact, very un-democratic. In their world, the only good votes are the ones they win, with all others being invalid and subject to attack in whatever way they deem expedient. It seems
Continue readingNeo-neocon is an elegant writer, so I like her summary of the theater in which the Democrats engaged last night when they called for a slumber party to dramatize their desire to withdraw from the Iraq War immediately. I left a comment at her blog, which I like enough that
Continue readingHere’s the Newspeak Orwell envisioned: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH For a primer on this language, check out this Wikipedia article. As you read it, pay particular attention to “Blackwhite.” Indeed, I’ll help you by quoting from Orwell right now: …this word has two mutually contradictory
Continue readingI don’t think I need to add any comments to this segment of a larger news report about John Kerry’s recent visit to San Francisco: Romney, during an Iowa campaign stop Wednesday, joined the White House in criticizing Pelosi’s diplomatic efforts. “I just don’t know what got into her head,
