Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If there were a speed-blogging competition, my goal would be to win it with this round-up post. I’d meant to blog at length and at leisure today, but life caught up, including a glitch with the bank, which lost the signatures that would enable me to liquidate my mother’s trust.
Continue readingThink of this as a bonus edition in the “Leftists always get it wrong” series, because I’m sure that I don’t need to explain at length what’s wrong with this poster. I include it because it so perfectly illustrates the way in which Leftists believe that they can change human
Continue readingIt’s time for another installment in my “Leftists always get it wrong” series. (See Part 1 and Part 2.) Here is the typically wrongheaded poster I want to challenge today: Without diving into the details, there are two central flaws with this poster that negate everything it advocates: It assumes
Continue readingHaving gone on at some length to demolish a single Leftist sentence riddled with lies, it’s time for me to tackle the next Leftist poster that I found on Facebook. I think this one will do for my next effort at exposing the rank dishonesty hiding behind some of those
Continue readingBush didn’t, Obama wouldn’t, but the next president should: Call into the Oval Office the leaders of Muslim communities throughout America to say, “Because of the First Amendment, the fact that you and the people in your community practice Islam is irrelevant to us in America. Your faith is your
Continue readingI have sitting in front of me a piece of a very juicy story that’s happening in real-time — and I can’t do anything about it right now! Two things stop me: The first is that, as I said, I currently only have a piece, and I need more information
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 readingMy news feed, lately, seems to be overwhelmed by two primary stories: the Left’s increasingly shrill control over public discourse and ISIS’s depredations in the Middle East. Both stories, believe it or not, have led me to rethink the role, or perhaps “plight,” of ordinary Germans during World War II
Continue readingI first published a Passover post in March 2010, when Iran was in the news because of the Green Revolution. (By the way, Obama’s peculiar inaction then — that is, his unwillingness to side with the ordinary people against the Mullah’s tyranny — takes on a whole new meaning in
Continue readingI’m still grumbling about the bag bans that have spread from Mill Valley, to all of Marin and now, thanks to those Democrats in the state legislature, to the whole of California. To begin with, I really hate having my government tell me and the merchants from whom I buy
Continue readingEveryone who listens to Ronald Reagan’s “A Time For Choosing” is struck by another “time” aspect: The speech is timeless. Sure, details have changed here and there (mostly the details with dollar signs in front of them), but already on October 27, 1964, Reagan clearly delineated the difference between a
Continue readingAn antisemitic Jew I know, rather than seeing the Passover ceremony as the celebration of freedom (the world’s first and for a long time only successful slave revolt), and of justice and morality (the Ten Commandments), derides the whole ceremony as the unconscionable and immoral celebration of the genocide of
Continue readingHundreds of interesting things have happened on this day over the centuries. Three, however, deserve our attention because, if we were smart, we’d be girding our loins for war right now. In 1775, Americans fought the Battles at Lexington and Concord. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln ordered the blockade of Confederate
Continue readingDo you remember, back in 1994, the big uproar that ensued when an American teenager was arrested in Singapore for vandalizing property? In Singapore, the penalty for that crime was caning, which was a new concept to Americans. Reading about the case now, it’s pretty clear that Michael Fay was
Continue readingFor a bleak look at America’s future as the “New France” and a ray of sunshine called hope, a Frenchman comes a-blowing the clarion call to resistance against the Progressive barbarian Left. The key take-away: “Once again, you don’t need a lecture from this Frenchman, but it seems to me
