Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The elephant in the middle of the room that no one seems to want to look at is that there are people in this country, perhaps many people, who have been welcomed into this country, lived here for quite a while, embraced by Americans and treated kindly, who smile at
Continue readingDavid Remnick, writing at The New Yorker has a very interesting article about “The Brothers Tsarnaev” (and yes, we all appreciated the little Dostoyevsky reference there). It’s interesting at two levels. At the first level, the beginning is an elegant piece of journalism that looks at the region and at
Continue readingAs was to be expected (and all of you predicted), the media is rushing to indict . . . America for having failed to give two Chechen immigrant brothers the love they needed. Because of this, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 years old, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 old, became disaffected losers longing to
Continue readingThe day the bombing took place, I looked at the MO and thought it more likely than not to be a Muslim attack. I stated: There are two ways Boston can go. It can be a liberal mugged by reality and get over its delusional belief that, if America will
Continue readingAs of this morning, the Washington Post earnestly tells us that, with one bomber in custody and one dead, we still have no idea why they did it. We know that they’re brothers and that they come from Chechnya, a region that’s been having unnamed troubles leading to terrorism. One
Continue readingNow that the police have dismissed as a suspect the Saudi man originally being questioned, the perpetrator behind the atrocity at the Boston Marathon is swathed in mystery. Although Muslims distinguished themselves in a disgusting way by celebrating the bombing, no group has stepped forward to take responsibility for what
Continue readingBecause I’m now a semi-official journalist, I’ve been working hard to write up-to-the-minute posts about the horrible Boston Marathon bombing. Here’s the latest Mr. Conservative post, which I was able to write following my Twitter feed. It’s been substantially updated since I wrote it, so it’s (a) under Katie Kieffer’s
Continue readingIn July 2006, I quoted my cousin, who was then working as a prison chaplain on prisoners’ conversions to Islam: It is not a contradiction to be a Muslim and a murderer, even a mass murderer. That is one reason why criminals “convert” to Islam in prison. They don’t convert
Continue readingI adore traditional Christmas music, whether it’s the Old English Christmas Carols or the non-denominational Christmas songs that began to the music market with Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. I’m as happy singing O Holy Night as I am singing Here Comes Santa Claus. Christmas songs give me a huge endorphin
Continue readingIn today’s news, we learned that Muslims in Libya kidnapped twelve men that they claimed were homosexuals in order to execute them: Extremists say they will execute a dozen men they allege are homosexuals, whom they abducted last Thursday at a private party in Tripoli’s Ain Zara district. A body
Continue readingThe headline in the San Francisco Chronicle was simple: “FBI: 4 Calif. men charged in alleged terror plot.” California men, huh? Did they have names like Big Kahuna and look like this? “Yo, dude, I’m like going to, you know, like, attack the man. It’ll be, like, totally tubular.” No?
Continue readingIt’s been another family-maintenance day, which precludes not only blogging but, quite often, even thinking. Having a house full of children is revitalizing and exhausting all at once. I also took my Mom clothes shopping, which makes her extraordinarily happy, but leaves me limp and floppy. I am every cheapskate’s
Continue readingI’m guessing that a majority of Americans (a slim majority, but still a majority) know that America entered WWII because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. What few stop to consider is why we ended up fighting, not only the Japanese who had just bombed us, but the Germans as well,
Continue readingI tried posting yesterday but, every time I got within striking distance of my computer, someone in the house would set up a plaintive cry, desperate for my company (or, more usually, my services). Anyhoo… If I had posted yesterday, I would have linked to this story that Navy One
