Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Background: I live in a building inhabited by a lot of seniors. When they moved in they were younger mid 50’s Democrats. Now, they’re aging Democrats and fear and wincing registers across their faces as if they were wearing — not a yellow Star of David, but something worse, much
Continue readingSince warnings labels seem to be dominating the news (that cigarette thing), Doug Ross has some suggestions for political warning labels.
Continue readingYou’ve no doubt heard that, with redistricting on the table, the Republican victories in local elections are incredibly important. (Poor California….) Zombie, in a pair of lucid, entertaining posts, explains why.
Continue readingDemocrats are wondering how the pendulum could have swung so quickly in two years. The premise underlying this wonderment is wrong. They perceived a pendulum swing to the Left, only because they managed to run an election that hid from the voters the fact that they were electing an exceptionally
Continue readingBob Etheridge is demanding a recount against Renee Elmer. Apparently he understood what I said yesterday, which is that a candidate shouldn’t concede before the last vote is counted. He seems to think that he shouldn’t concede even long after the last vote is counted. But still, a recount is
Continue readingI feel as if I should say something profound, but I don’t really have that much that is profound to say. I do have a few observations, and then I’ll start compiling a running list of good post-election posts (so check back often): I’ll repeat what I said yesterday: it
Continue readingAmerican Digest is getting lots of hits for this list, and deservedly so. It surely explains what’s happening in California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, etc. UPDATE: And if you want something that will make you laugh, this will. I need to laugh. I’m bummed, although not surprised, about California.

Continue readingIf you’re in California, it’s easy to figure out which people should get your vote: Fiorina over Boxer, Whitman over Brown (and yes, that’s something of a nose-holder), anyone over Pelosi, etc. It gets much more confusing when you get to the numbered items on the ballot. Prop. 23 is
Continue readingMy friend Sally Zelikovsky says it in the clearest words possible: Unless conservatives in California vote for the Republicans, we will have a Sacramento government made up entirely of San Francisco Democrats. If that horrible outcome sounds painfully obvious to you, you don’t know California. There are two dynamics in
Continue readingMike Pence asked me for money today. He seems like a good guy. I hope he wins. Life, liberty and limited government, he wrote, these are the cherished ideals of our nation, and they are ideals from which we must never stray. Indeed they are. Truly American ideals. As David
Continue readingFunny, funny David Zucker video challenging Boxer’s arrogance and cavalier approach to American money: Call Me Senator from RightChange on Vimeo. If you’re in California, this year you have a real choice: vote for Carly Fiorina. She’s a true conservative and a dynamic, effective individual. My mom, who can’t quite
Continue readingAcross the conservative blogosphere, a single cry for help is going out: Please donate money to Pat Toomey, who is running against Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania. Not only is Toomey the real deal on small government (less spending, lower taxes), Sestak is awful. He’s an Obama rubber stamp, and a
Continue readingI wrote earlier this week that I was going to vote in person, rather than by mail, which is what I usually do. There’s just too much risk that my absentee ballot will “accidentally” get lost in liberal Marin. Meanwhile, at the polling place, they scan it instantly. Better odds
Continue readingPut aside the fact that Bawney Fwank sent his boyfwiend out to heck his opp0nent. What I like about this video clip is Sean Bielat‘s poise and humor in handling said boyfwiend’s heckling: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWmLAqYjvLg[/youtube] Bielat seems to have mastered many of the US Marine’s Leadership Traits which is, in itself,
