Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The more I have a chance to digest today’s news stories, the more I am struck by how unbelievably tragic the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi seem today, even more so than they did on September 11. On that day, smart people suspected that al Qaeda had struck again.
Continue readingGod said of the Jews that they are a stiff-necked (or stubborn) people. They certainly are when it comes to their allegiance to the Democrat party. Despite three and a half years of manifest Obama hostility to Israel, the vast majority of American Jews still support him. I can actually
Continue readingHere are some gems from Mark Steyn’s post about Sandra Fluke’s vision of a binary America, one that has abortioned women frolicking freely through fields of flowers, and another that has them barefoot, pregnant, wrapped in a burqa, and hiding in the kitchen. You’ve got to read the whole thing,
Continue readingThe one thing that’s been nice about Obama’s presidency is the fact that the Democrats ramped down their Nazi rhetoric. It used to be that you couldn’t open a Leftist web page without hearing that Bush and Cheney were Nazis, and that every Republican policy initiative promised to create a
Continue readingThe day after Mitt Romney gave his speech, Jon Stewart went to town. It was a typical Jon Stewart exercise, replete with out-of-context snippets, juvenile sarcasm, and endlessly bleeped obscenities. One part of it, though, the very first part, stayed with me. If you watch just the first couple of
Continue readingThe band Train has a charming new song out, called “50 Ways to Say Good-bye.” Aside from the usual catchy music, the lyrics are simply wonderful, as you can see from this video: Since I always have politics on my mind, when I saw the lead singer nonsensically fielding questions
Continue readingYou all have probably noticed what I’ve noticed: while the Democrat party gets support from young voters, it doesn’t have many young politicians. (And maybe the young voters would like to think about that one for a while.) Obama, at 51, is one of the youngest of the Democrat leaders.
Continue readingJames Taranto writes from Tampa about the Leftist protest and its sponsor (emphasis mine): “Really hard to notice the RNC protesters if you’re not running around trying to find them,” Slate’s Dave Weigeltweeted early yesterday afternoon. “V far from convention, other events.” The convention’s start was delayed a day, and
Continue readingTodd Akin’s ill-informed remarks opened the floodgates for the usual smears about the fact that all conservatives are ignorant, racist, sexist, theocratic, misogynistic tyrants. The one that got the greatest play amongst my liberal Facebook friends was Timothy Egan’s New York Times‘ column claiming that Akin isn’t the only Republican
Continue readingThe Democrats are kvelling about Todd Akin. Indeed, at the New York Times, one enterprising writer has put together a list of a handful of Republicans who hold views that are outside of the mainstream (or who articulate arguably valid views in invalid ways). A cartoonist has also put together
Continue readingI found the show “Game of Thrones” unwatchable, and the book unreadable — both were boring, ugly, and self-involved, which kind of hints at the author’s personality, right? Anyway, George R. R. Martin has decided that it’s not enough to have his books reveal his petty little soul. He’s now
Continue readingMark Steyn takes on the Democrat political machine’s outrage over Chick-fil-A, starting with certain mayors trying to run the company out of their cities because the company’s owner believes in traditional marriage (including no divorces), and then moves on from there: Mayor Menino [Boston’s mayor] subsequently backed down and claimed
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I posted about the fact that “the most brilliant president ever” doesn’t know the difference between an endorser and an endorsee. As you may recall, an Abraham Lincoln impersonator showed up at Obama’s campaign event, leading Obama to say “‘My homeboy from Illinois,’ Obama said,
Continue reading“The message from the man who controls the Justice Department (which can indict you), the SEC (which can fine you), and the IRS (which can audit you), is clear: You made a mistake donating that money”, writes Strassel.
Continue readingTo date, I haven’t been paying that much attention to the Obama administration’s Big Government effort to keep America’s young down on the farms, now that they’ve seen TV. Or can see TV . . . or should see TV, since the Obama administration is barring farm kids from actually
