Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Every week, as many of you already know, the Watcher’s Council nominates the week’s worst weasels. This past week’s nominations yielded these winners: Yes, once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!! Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters
Continue readingThe big banner headline on Drudge today told about Hillary making like the little people by flying coach back to her mansion and carrying her own suitcase. Here’s the tweet that started the story: Hmmmm. Where have I heard that story before? Oh, wait! I know (emphasis added): As outlined in my
Continue readingIslam is premised upon Jihad — war. It’s binary. There’s either war against unbelievers or complete subordination to Allah. What religion is Carter — an increasingly virulent anti-Semite who also seems to be declining quickly into a revolting old age — talking about? For a more accurate view of Islam
Continue readingYou know I’m going to be hooked on a post if, in the second paragraph, it describes Jimmy Carter in these terms: Jimmy Carter should not have been president. He was incompetent beyond belief; angry about America’s success in the world; wanted us to get our comeuppance; and was and
Continue readingPro-Palestinian putzes have consistently claimed that if Israel would just bend a little more, and still a little more, then there would be peace in the Middle East. The execrable President Carter (I always affix that adjective to this loathsome human being) now claims that he’s being forced to urge
Continue readingTo many of us, the Carter-Obama analogy is a no-brainer. Whether one looks to failing economies, rising oil prices, despair, Iranian troubles, arrogance, etc., the two are joined at the hip. Conservatives hope that the similarities extend to Obama’s being a one-term president. Jay Cost warns, though, that while their
Continue readingWe have enjoyed spirited discussions on these pages with Book’s question about universities and the values thereof. A recurring theme that I hear among Liberals is one of educational snobbery. I heard this with regard to G.W. Bush (despite his Harvard MBA) and now we hear it about Sarah Palin
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 readingJ.R. Dunn ruminates about ex-Democratic leaders, who seem driven by some bizarre Narcissistic compulsion to cling to the spotlight long after their political moment has passed. Aside from being an enjoyable read, it has a great summary of the horrible effect of President Carter’s moral equivalence, a character failing that
Continue readingThe New York Times again gave a forum to Jimmy Carter. This time Carter defends his immoral, illegal decision to consort with terrorists, something that would be objectionable if the ordinary private citizen were to do it, but that rises to outrageous levels of indecency when a former President does
Continue readingCongress isn’t actually doing anything beyond complaining about how upset it is, but I was very pleased nevertheless to see that two representatives have sponsored a bipartisan resolution specifically mentioning Carter in connection with Hamas and reiterating that Hamas is a dangerous terrorist organization that should be isolated, not courted.
Continue readingHamas is an official terrorist organization. That minor detail, however, doesn’t seem to deter President Jimmy Carter, a man who has never met a sleazy Islamic or communist terrorist he doesn’t admire and trust: Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said in remarks to air on Sunday that his upcoming visit
Continue readingAs you may recall, I compared Huckabee to Jimmy Carter, foreseeing with the former some of the same problems we saw with the latter (and that despite the fact that Huckabee seems like a much more ebullient and nicer person than Carter). I’m not the only one making those comparisons.
Continue readingI like to tweak NY Times movie reviews (heck, any MSM movie reviews), because of the relentless Progressive punditry that characterizes them, regardless of the movie’s actual content. With a movie about Jimmy Carter on the table, I was therefore prepared for a full frontal case of anti-Bush commentary in
Continue readingFor six hours this Sunday I watched my TIVOed copies of Christiane Amanpour’s God’s Warriors specials. Amanpour’s biases clearly showed through, especially when she tried to portray Muslim radicals as some kind of a small fringe group, or when she spoke to fundamentalist Christian leaders in a tone dripping with
