Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You and I have seen Howling Mobs, although, if we’re lucky, not up close and personal. This is a Howling Mob (in Fallujah, with murdered contractors hanging in the background): This is a Howling Mob (in London, a part of the Danish cartoon riots): This is a Howling Mob (with
Continue readingThere was another anti-war rally in San Francisco, but the gloss of all Americanism with which the movement covered itself during the early years of the Iraq War is gone. With that gloss ripped away, the truth comes out: The glory days of the 21st-century anti-war movement were in 2003
Continue readingWhat do you get when you cross a Bratz doll with a Smurf? A Na’vi. Yup, folks, I finally caught up with my pop culture and went to see Avatar last night. Seeing it made me realize why I so seldom bother to catch up with pop culture. The movie
Continue readingI’m reading a very enjoyable novel right now that is completely on point about the way in which the Left operates, especially when it comes to the media and academia. The writer is tuned into the name calling that substitutes for informed debate. For example, when the book’s protagonist, Paul,
Continue readingA few weeks ago, I did a post asking if Barack Obama is anti-American. I liked the concept, but wanted to refine on it a bit. Well, that refinement turned into a very long post, which I passed on to American Thinker, and the editors were kind enough to publish
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I included in a post the statement that Barack Obama is anti-American. A dear and respected friend suggested that I was exaggerating. Obama may have a different vision of or goal for America, he said, but that’s scarcely the same as being anti-American. I’ve been
Continue readingCharles Krauthammer spells it out: America’s decline is not a by-product of Obama’s myriad Left wing policies; it is, instead, his primary goal. Think of that as you wonder why a Leftist European prize committee awarded the formerly prestigious Nobel Peace Prize to Obama. Of course, this isn’t new to
Continue readingWhen it comes to Obama’s speech before the UN, Brett Schaefer and Nile Gardiner are both kind enough to attribute to naivete what I’m increasingly sure is a malignant combination of anti-American feeling and antisemitism. In the same vein, Paul, at PowerLine, a blogger who has tried to be level-headed
Continue readingFrom Jennifer Rubin: Far from assuming the role of an “honest broker” in the Middle East (that would be an improvement at this point), Obama is affirmatively choosing sides, making every effort to identify with and sweet-talk the “Muslim world” as he conceives it. But this is not only a pro-Muslim
Continue readingYou’ve already read that the Big O (an increasingly empty hole if there ever was one) is now set to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, the Irish woman who has cheerfully led the UN into ever deeper antisemitic, anti-American depravity. Jennifer Rubin sums up beautifully the
Continue readingJames Lewis nails what’s driving the Birther issue, and gives a very good reason why we should abandon the birth certificate, but nevertheless focus on the other records: The birth debate about Obama is real enough, but it is legally complicated, as analyzed by legal beagle Andrew McCarthy at National
Continue readingRowan Laxton is Middle East expert and a high ranking official in Britain’s Foreign Office. He is also a hard-core anti-Semite with limited impulse control (two things that seem to go together, by the way): A high-ranking diplomat at the Foreign Office has been arrested after allegations that he launched
Continue readingI wrote it a few days ago, but it just got published today: The other day, Mr. Horace Engdahl, a man who normally occupies a rather obscure outpost when it comes to public awareness, bought himself a few minutes of fame by engaging in everyone’s favorite pastime: America bashing. Mr.
Continue readingI like to read British publications, as well as the Spiegel, and whatever other English language versions of European papers strike my fancy. It’s useful to see what’s going on in other parts of the world and, more than that, to see how the local press views its own events.
Continue readingThe Confederate Yankee launches a truly scathing attack on Obama’s fundamental lack of “American-ness” — and it has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with his profoundly un-American upbringing. I think you should read it. I will add only that some of the greatest patriots I’ve
