Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You’ve probably seen the headlines saying that Alabama Rep. Bobby Wright “joked” that Pelosi might get sick and die before he’s called upon to vote for her next year as the House leader. I think that the “joke” is in exceptionally bad taste, but that’s not the issue. What makes

I was still an unthinking liberal, and accepted without analysis or suspicion the MSM’s repeated assurances that he was a dangerous and evil buffoon.
Continue readingMy brilliant brother-in-law put together a chart showing the correlation between a state’s debt load and it’s government (Democratic or Republican). The chart’s statistics won’t come as a surprise to conservatives, but I bet they’d come as a big surprise to a whole lot of liberals: I wish there was
Continue readingNancy Pelosi may be mad at Robert Gibbs for admitting that the upcoming elections aren’t going to result in Democratic gains, but the fact is that she sounds pretty desperate herself in this email I got begging for funds: Midnight tonight is your last chance to contribute to the DCCC
Continue readingLord alone knows why, but I’m on the email list from the DCCC. That’s why I got this delightful missive from James Carville: You hear what the Republicans are saying now? They’re out there bragging that they’ll actually win back the House this year. But if the thought of John
Continue readingDon Quixote sent me an email this morning. It seemed like a great thing to post, especially while I’m digesting all the stuff in today’s news: Subject: The Fence………. Which side of the fence? If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great
Continue reading[Note from Bookworm: As of now, the video embed of Pete Stark you’ll see in the post below has only 97 hits. It should have a million hits. Pete Stark is, and always has been, an exceptionally nasty piece of work. However, Democratic acts in Washington make it clear that
Continue readingNeo-Neocon spells out clearly and explicitly how the ugly tyranny of the current Democratic majority may continue, even if voters throw “da bums” out of office.
Continue readingI have to boast just a little bit. Despite driving for more than thirty years, I’ve never had a moving violation. I have heard, however, that if the highway patrol pulls you over for speeding, it’s no defense to point to the traffic passing you and the officer by, while
Continue readingAs they usually do, the Democrats have picked a non-violent party and tarred it with the extremist brush (that would be Democrats v. Tea Partiers), while ignoring and abasing themselves before a genuinely threatening movement (that would be Democrats v. radical Islamists). And as always, Mark Steyn ties everything effortlessly
Continue readingOne of the things I love about Andrew Breitbart is that he’s willing to challenge the bluffs and cons emanating from the Left. While the Republican establishment was apologizing for the alleged claim that Tea Partiers hurled the “n-word,” Breitbart figured out that the absence of footage was significant —
Continue readingAs I’ve already noted in this blog, the Left’s obsession with history doesn’t go as far as considering whether it’s good history or bad history. In a superb article, Abe Greenwald makes precisely the same point: For amid the symbolic fanfare of giant gavels and the tactical gravitas of deployed
Continue readingAs part of a longer rumination about the stability that the Cold War provided for our political system, James Taranto makes the following observations about yesterday’s House vote: Why did it happen? Last November voters sent what seemed to us a pretty clear message by rejecting Democratic candidates for governor
Continue readingThe Atlantic is no hotbed of conservatism, but at least one Atlantic writer is smart enough to understand what yesterday’s vote meant: One cannot help but admire Nancy Pelosi’s skill as a legislator. But it’s also pretty worrying. Are we now in a world where there is absolutely no recourse
Continue readingI indulged myself today by staying assiduously away from the computer. If there was going to be a train crash, I didn’t want to see it happen. What’s really irksome isn’t that Stupak is the usual Demo ho (pardon my language), but that he was willing to sell his soul
