Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I have to admit that I’ve gotten to the point with President Obama that, whatever he’s for, I’m automatically against in the first instance, at least until I’ve had a chance to check it out. Take, for example, his recent proposal for a “three-year freeze on discretionary, ‘non-security’ spending.” My
Continue readingThe jobs summit is at an end and Obama has given lip service to the private sector. He doesn’t really mean it, though. How can he, when he makes statements such as this one: Mr. Obama said he would entertain “every demonstrably good idea” for creating jobs, but he cautioned
Continue readingThe Chronicle was always first in line for the Obama slobber fest, but the bloom is apparently wearing off of that well-drooled upon rose too. Today, the Chron has a front page story vigorously attack the myriad accounting errors on the administration’s boastful website about its economic chops: Nine months
Continue readingJennifer Rubin has two posts this morning, both of which illustrate my point about the dangerous relationship between our CIC and the military he’s supposed to be leading. In the first, she talks about the insane decision-making process in D.C., which seems to have little to do with either victory
Continue readingDon Quixote forwarded me an email that perfectly explains just how bad the economy is: Just how bad IS the economy? The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. It’s so bad, I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the
Continue readingThere’s talk of the economy recovering, which is a good thing. Yes, Obama will take credit for it, despite the fact that his massive spending bill has barely touched the economy, but that’s small potatoes. What matters is that we’re not hovering anymore at the brink of economic collapse. Still,
Continue readingThe nature of conservatism is to be . . . well, conservative. We don’t throw paint on people. We don’t burn figures in effigy. We don’t bite off fingers. We put our heads down and do our jobs. So when two million conservatives (and independents) take the time, the energy
Continue reading“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.” — Abraham Lincoln Obama lies, and lies, and lies again. Sometimes he lies directly, and sometimes he
Continue readingHere’s Mark Steyn on Obama’s “brilliant” plan and American fear: It’s a good thing he’s the smartest president of all time and the greatest orator since Socrates because otherwise one might easily confuse him with some birdbrained Bush type. But, if we take him at his word, then a trillion-dollar
Continue readingRepublicans are finally figuring out how to push back: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGEfRBzB0s&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] I like Ed Morrissey’s comment about the video: Today, Barack Obama once again dishonestly claimed that Porkulus opponents wanted to “do nothing” in the face of the economic collapse, but that’s simply not true — which Obama might have learned
Continue readingIn his most recent article at the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove explains in great detail how Barack Obama told quite obvious lies about the stimulus numbers, only to pretend now that he didn’t really mean what he said. (That’s the lying pattern I’ve told you about.) The American people
Continue readingIn medieval times, the king’s fool was often the only one who could speak the truth, but that in the guise of a joke. Joe Biden is a little bit different. Obama didn’t mean him to be the truth-speaking fool but, apparently, the guy can’t help himself. AJ Strata caught
Continue readingI blogged the other day about the fact that three Marin County towns had opted out of an expensive green energy plan — and that the local liberal newspaper applauded them. News comes today that yet another town has now decided that the pocketbook trumps Algore induced environmental panic: [Larkspur]
Continue readingJennifer Rubin pithily sums up the insanity of the government’s cheerful report on increasingly higher unemployment numbers: So to be clear: we’re headed for double digit unemployment, the very thing the stimulus bill was supposed to stave off. We didn’t keep unemployment anywhere near 8% as the administration predicted — but
