Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m almost done going through my emails, but still have a few left. One of them brought to my attention Zombie’s post about Obama’s schiz0phrenia when it comes to the economy. As for me, I’m not so sure that Obama is pulled in two directions. I think he’s got a
Continue readingOne of the things that I try to understand is the Great Divide between today’s Liberals and conservatives that has left us talking past one another on policy issues. Frankly, I have concluded that discussion with Liberals is often futile because we attribute different meanings to words and concepts. One

Thanks to a video snippet that Andrew Breitbart posted, she got pilloried as the face of Leftist/NAACP racial intolerance. When it turned out the snippet was out of context, she got sanctified as
Continue readingMy brilliant brother-in-law put together a chart showing the correlation between a state’s debt load and it’s government (Democratic or Republican). The chart’s statistics won’t come as a surprise to conservatives, but I bet they’d come as a big surprise to a whole lot of liberals: I wish there was
Continue readingOn my “real” facebook page, I posted a link to Laffer’s article arguing in favor of lower taxes on the rich. A liberal friend posted a reply that pointed out that, during the 1950s, which was a time of tremendous US economic strength, the top bracket was taxed at a
Continue readingI blush to admit this, but the recession has been something of a blessing for me. Subject to two short intervals, once when I was a 19/20 year old exchange student and was not allowed to work abroad, and once for a few months after my second child was born,

Continue readingObama plans to use brute force legislation to turn America into a green economy. To do this, he is going to use the government’s police and economic power to break the backs of the oil and coal industries. It occurred to me that (at least) three other governments have used

Continue readingMy husband is hoping that I can put my prodigious knowledge of the news to work by predicting movement in the stock market. I keep telling him that the fact that I know what’s happening in the world is entirely separate from my understanding what’s going to happen in the
Continue readingJust wanted to direct your attention to Deroy Murdock’s article about the crooked accounting in Obama Care. It’s one of the clearest explanations I’ve seen yet of the chicanery that the Democrats are using to try to fool the American people, even as they create plans that will inevitably make
Continue readingI’ve noted before that San Francisco (consistent with Democratic-run cities and states everywhere) is terribly cash-strapped. But politics will always trump practicality. Exactly one month ago, despite the fact that the school district is pretty much broke, the Board of Education voted, not just to cut education programs quite drastically,
Continue readingThere were so many things wrong with Obama’s speech last night, whether because of dumb ideas, lies, vicious attacks against Constitutional guardians, etc., that criticism actually becomes difficult. It’s kind of like punching Jello, because you just get sucked in. Nevertheless, it is important to criticize, not just Obama’s untruths,
