Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Obamacare fails at so many levels it’s hard to count them. It fails because it’s the only piece of significant legislation in American history to be passed on strict partisan lines, using procedural tricks and bribes, and with a majority of American people disapproving of it. It fails because its
Continue readingThe repulsive Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson made news yesterday by putting out a fundraising letter that likens the Tea Party to the KKK (which, during its heyday, was an entirely Democrat organization): Today, in a very timely way, Caped Crusader sent me the first sensible gun-control proposal I’ve seen, when
Continue readingGeorge Will has made a very important point here about Democrat hubris. Sen. Susan Collins, as mushy a Republican as one could ever find, made a proposal that gives Democrats everything they want, including relieving them from the political embarrassment of the “medical device tax,” which even they dislike. Flush
Continue readingI don’t know when I’ve ever seen such a devastating video about a Democrat Senate candidate: It makes for especially fascinating viewing if you pair it with Stella Paul’s rundown of Booker’s lies. If you have any contacts at all in New Jersey, you might want to let them see
Continue readingI got a great email from a friend:
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 readingIt’s all good, guys. I’ve finally figured out what’s been going on. We’ve just been reading history dead wrong. The operating historic premise is that the KKK and the Democrat party parted ways during the Civil Rights movement. When the KKK guys realized that northern Democrats who supported civil rights
Continue readingDarryl Issa has tweeted out one of the most appalling photographs I’ve ever seen emerge from the United States House of Representatives. Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. You remember what happened on that day, don’t you?
Continue readingI enjoy reading my Liberal-Lefty friends’ Facebook posts because they are so insightful into the mindsets of the Left. One insight that I have gained over time is that the differences between us conservatives and the Progressive/Left are so profound that they are unlikely to ever be bridged, barring some
Continue readingYou may recall that I developed an instant political crush on Sen. Elbert Guillory, a black Louisiana state Senator who castigated the “race card” as a cheap tactic. It turns out my instincts were right on the money. Shortly after refusing to play the Democrat “race game,” Guillory became the
Continue readingFor reasons I’ll explain shortly, I was kvelling to a friend about how wonderful Marin County is. I then wrapped up by saying the Marin is an outlier, unlike the rest of America. The moment the words were out of my mouth, it occurred to me that I’m probably wrong.
Continue readingBarry Rubin is not a man prone to insult or exaggeration. That’s why it means something when he says this of Obama’s nominees to the State Department, Defense Department, and the CIA: They are all stupid people. Some friends said I shouldn’t write this because it is a subjective judgment
Continue readingFrom the first day Sen. Elizabeth Warren showed up on the national political scene, I’ve reminisced about what a dreadful teacher she was. In post after post, I’ve noted that, while she was very nice (she is a nice lady in a one-on-one), she was totally incoherent as a teacher.
Continue readingAs long as our ideas live on, in some way so do we. Here’s is one of John F. Kennedy’s most famous statements: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Obama won the 2012 election by turning that idea upside
Continue readingI’ve got a new post up at PJ Media: In the last few days before the election, many moderate Democrats are contemplating breaking up with Barack Obama. Parting with a political party or candidate can be every bit as wrenching as severing a personal relationship with a girlfriend or boyfriend.
