Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If you read the post caption and thought “Kim who?”, you haven’t been following the news lately. Kim Davis is the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who has chosen to go to jail rather than issue a marriage license to gay couples. She is being pilloried on the Left as an

Continue readingI had so much fun the last time I deconstructed the analytically and factually foolish posters I found on the Facebook pages of my many, many Leftist friends, that I thought I’d do it again. As before, my commentary is below each poster: I’ll Yid with Lid the floor on
Continue readingAs you may have gathered from the number of things we did every day on our recent trip to Virginia and environs, ours was not a restful vacation. I capped off the fatigue with a cold and, since our return, have been having a very hard time motivating myself to
Continue readingYou’ve all heard, of course, about the professor who calls reason itself a white male construct: A philosophy and religion professor at Syracuse University gave an interview to The New York Times Thursday in which he critiqued the notion of pure reason as simply being a “white male Euro-Christian construction.” Prof. John Caputo was
Continue readingI’m sorry for the long silence, but to quote Granny Clampett, “I was just plumb tuckered out.” Between escalating work demands and the usual family demands, I haven’t had either spare energy or spare time. It was only two days ago that I stopped being in denial and accepted that,
Continue readingThe following is how Watcher’s Council members and their friends view events in Baltimore. Good stuff, as always. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t participate, but the forum is a weekend event and, all too often, my weekends are given over to family matters: Every week on Monday morning , the Council
Continue readingAlmost five years ago, I wrote a post about 1st Lieutenant Gregory Allen, a retired United States Marine who ran a fitness center in San Rafael (part of Marin County), the purpose of which was to get young people ready for military boot camp. The City of San Rafael was

Continue readingI always enjoy Bill Whittle’s videos. He has a knack for describing social and political issues with tremendous clarity. I’m convinced that ordinary Progressives (not the True Believers, but the knee-jerk voters), would change their views if they would make themselves watch a steady diet of Bill Whittle and Prager University videos. This

The economy is flabby and gaseous, unemployment is at historic highs; he pretends that radical Islamists don’t exist while castigating Christians for crimes 1,000 years old; he sits passively by as aggressors dedicated to subjugating human kind make tremendous strides in the Middle

The judge also refunded him his $160,000 bail,

Continue readingSan Mateo County is a good Progressive county. That’s why it was a surprise to find this angry post coming from its Deputy Sheriff’s Association regarding a police officer who was killed in Indianapolis. What set the Deputy Sheriff’s Association off was a local media story sympathetically recounting the killer’s
