Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s the thing that the progressives in media and government want to hide from you: The federal government is America’s servant, not its master. This means that the National Park Service is a caretaker, not an owner. To the extent it is denying people access to outdoor monuments (including blocking
Continue readingAn anonymous Obama administration insider explained why the President and the Senate are refusing to compromise, even to the point of refusing to accept piecemeal funding for expenditures everyone supports: Said a senior administration official: “We are winning…It doesn’t really matter to us” how long the shutdown lasts “because what
Continue readingUnlike past shutdowns, which were indeed quibbles about this or that, the current shutdown is a big deal. The question posed is a fundamental one about the very nature of this nation: Is the federal government the servant or the master of the American people. Our Constitution says the former;
Continue readingThe Obama government is small, spiteful, and petty. There are no other words for it. Case in point: The WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., which is an outdoor memorial. There are no tickets sold, no doors to open or close, and no staffers. It is not an open air museum.
Continue readingMaybe it’s the anarchist in me, but I like the idea of a government shutdown. Just as the sequester proved to be a non-issue (although I’m really sad about Fleet Week’s cancellation), I suspect that a federal government shutdown might reveal to a lot of people that our federal government,

Continue readingThere are many roads on which there is a speed that just feels “right,” even though it’s not the posted speed. This video says this feeling is legitimate. The video is also fact-filled, funny, well-produced, and the narrator has a great voice (not to mention a non-socialist spirit). I don’t
Continue readingI’ve commented often enough here that why someone fights is as important as the fact that he fights at all. I’ve always made this point in connection with the Left’s habit of likening the “insurgents” in Iraq to the Minute Men in America. Yes, both were fighting against the power

Continue readingThe one good thing about bad news is that it brings out the best in good writers. You really must read Mark Steyn’s whole column about Obama’s East German spy state, but I can resist cherry-picking for the best of it: So we know the IRS is corrupt. What happens
Continue readingOne of the best lines in Gone With The Wind isn’t “I’ll think about it tomorrow” or “Frankly, my dear. I don’t give a damn.” Instead, it’s “You’re like the thief who isn’t the least bit sorry he stole but is terribly, terribly sorry he’s going to jail.” Rhett offers
Continue readingStill working on coordinating my stiff, unresponsive brain this morning, so I have nothing interesting to say. I mean, my dog is perfect, and that’s always of interest to me, but it makes for very limited blog posts. Fortunately, as is always the case with the internet, even when my
Continue readingMy head is spinning. I just wrote a post for Mr. Conservative based upon the most current news stories saying that an arrest had been made. From the time of those stories to the time I published the post, it was about 10 minutes. Within one minute after the post
Continue readingI knew back in 1990 that the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was going to be a disaster. Why did I know that? Because I was a lawyer and I immediately started to spend my time doing defense work for employers who were being sued by every employee who had
Continue readingHere’s another pure Bookworm post that got published first at Mr. Conservative: Imagine that you’re the vice president of a nation that’s slowly going bankrupt. Your president has been traveling around the nation saying that, with the economy poised so delicately on the verge of disaster, any spending cuts will
