Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It’s only because it’s just a wee bit more over the top than the real things that you can tell it’s satire: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcFVRQi3ZEo&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] Big hat tip to The New Editor UPDATE: The above video represents fake Democrats (read: “Republican satirists”) in action. Nothing, of course, can compare to the real
Continue readingVanderleun, who blogs at the wonderful American Digest, put me on to a liberal Massachusetts blog that tells its readers to suck it up and vote for Coakley: Let’s get this out of the way. You might not want to vote for Martha Coakley. You might think she deserves what’s
Continue readingIt’s vintage Mark Steyn, with Barney Frank diving into mosh pits, references to Cosmo magazine, and this gem-like writing: If you’re one of the dwindling band of Bay Staters who rely on the [Boston] Globe for your news, you would never have known that a Massachusetts pseudo-“election” had bizarrely morphed
Continue readingWhen parents think about what a school should do for their children, they think in terms of the three “Rs,” plus a lovely layering of science, history, and other subjects that maketh a full (and employable) man. The politically correct Nanny State, however, cares little for education and a great
Continue readingThe National Journal Online has put together a compendium of political blogger best-guesses about this race’s outcome. Yours truly got to play a role in this one. What’s fascinating, since the vote is broken down into results from liberal and conservative bloggers, is the way in which the liberals are
Continue readingIn 1980 (and again in 1984), Ronald Reagan won in significant part because traditionally Democratic voters abandoned their party to vote for him. Those same “Reagan Democrats” have shown up frequently in the news today. Indeed, McCain is specifically targeting those same people and demographics. US News & World Report
Continue readingJohn Hawkins has written a really scathing indictment of Hillary Clinton attacking, not her political positions, but the fact that she is doing nothing more than ride on Bill’s coattails, having no independent experience of her own that would justify making her President of the most powerful nation in the
Continue readingWould it surprise any of you to learn that the media’s coverage of the President horse race accords more coverage, and more favorable coverage, to the Democratic candidates? It didn’t surprise me, but it’s still useful to see it in black and white: Campaign coverage of the 2008 presidential election
Continue readingI was impressed by the temperate tone in this Stars and Stripes article, because I was just incensed when I read that our troops, who are putting their lives on the line for us, as a result of bureaucratic inefficiency, are being denied that most fundamental of all American rights,
Continue readingIn an inspired Wall Street Journal article, Kimberley Strassel points out that Republican candidates, at their peril, are ignoring women, while Democratic candidates, knowing that women voters are the statistical difference for them between success and failure, are wooing them aggressively. This wooing needed go well. Strassel explains that the
Continue readingI’m on another vacation, sitting in a cyber cafe, working at a small computer with a microscopic keyboard, so it must be random thoughts day. Thank goodness DQ is doing the heavy lifting. The first thing that caught my interest is what Mitt said at the debate, which I really
Continue readingSeraphic Secret gets to the heart of the insanity behind the Democrats’ decision to hide from Fox TV: So let me get this straight. According to the Democrats, Israel is supposed to sit down and chat with Hamas, a terrorist gang dedicated to Israel’s annihilation. According to the Democrats Israel
Continue readingI am, apparently, worthy of voting. I bet you, my regular readers, are too. But if you’re in doubt, take this test: I have to admit to having slipped up on one question, but my excuse is that I’m not a very visual person, and photos are involved. It is
Continue readingI know it’s unkind of me, but ever since I saw that video of John Edwards preening to improve his pretty-boy self, I think of him as a sort of Barbie doll — or, maybe, I should say a Ken doll. That’s why I found it exquisitely funny that this
Continue readingDaniel Henninger has a really brilliant article about the fact that the focus of the Presidential primaries, on both sides of the political divide, is entirely wrong, with form (and the hunt for public humiliation) dominating when substance should matter: The world beyond America’s borders isn’t dormant; it is a
