Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I started a series of posts aimed at examining what the Left side of the blogosphere had to say about what I think is one of the biggest stories of our day: Israel’s major military initiative against Hezbollah. What I discovered, and why I’ve sort of dried up on checking
Continue readingNot a day goes by that we don’t hear a drumbeat of stories about the “civilians” being killed in Lebanon and the growing “civilian” crisis there. But what is a civilian? If Israel bombs the home of a civil Hezbollah leader and kills the leader, his wife and his four
Continue readingThose who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. It’s been said so often, it’s hackneyed, but it deserves repeating in the face of the neo-peace movement. Those of us who remember the lead-up to WWII also remember that it was the peaceniks who gave Hitler the room he
Continue readingSometimes, a picture is worth way more than a thousand words. Michael Ramirez gets it. This goes to the point I’ve been trying to make, which is that the anti-American/anti-Israel groups are willing to countenance a war only if they can assure that there is no possibility that the USA
Continue readingOne of Saddam Hussein’s former palaces is being turned over to the Iraqi government: MOSUL, Iraq – Task Force Band of Brothers will turn over control of the former Saddam Hussein presidential compound here to Iraqi government officials in a ceremony in Mosul July 20. The Mosul VIP Residence site,
Continue readingI’m really enjoying the periodic forays I’ve been making into Leftie land regarding the current Israeli/Hezbollah war (you can see my previous posts here and here), so I thought I’d keep going. No survey would be complete without checking in with Howard Dean. I know it’s already old news (two
Continue readingThis is part of a longer post at American Thinker, which I think nails an issue about the current war being waged all over the world — the Leftist’s self-defeating alignment with the Islamists: Islam was founded as a religion that is the state, where the state is the religion.
Continue readingCourtesy of a timely email from a friend (thanks, Sharon), I was reminded again of all the Leftist organizations around the world that have crawled into bed with Hezbollah in the last several years. Here’s one story: In September 2004, there was a huge gathering of anti-American, anti-Israeli organizations in
Continue readingGateway Pundit did a snarky little post about the suffering, the terrible suffering, Plame and Wilson have undergone since they rocketed to MSM fame. Only those who have to live through it can understand the agony of the jet-set lifestyle, complete with designer magazine covers. No wonder they had to
Continue readingI posted yesterday about the remarkable silence on the Left side of the blogosphere in the face of the huge developments in the Middle East. Indeed, the only liberal blogger who recognized the crisis for what it was eschewed analysis and simply went into blame George Bush mode. It occurred
Continue readingWith Israel at the epicenter of World War IV today, I thought I’d troll around to the top liberal blogs to see what they have to say on the subject. Crooks and Liars had only one post about what I believe to be the greatest geopolitical crisis of our time.
Continue readingNPR today had a story about Democrats seeking an issue to draw their voters to the polls. The issue they’ve picked is the minimum wage. Democratic strategists think that Republicans have repeatedly bested them by using ballot initiatives to draw out their base. In past elections, as in this one,
Continue readingI’m always fascinated, when visiting my favorite bloggers, to see the things they find on the liberal blogs. I’ve never had any success reading some of the most popular liberal blogs, though. Many are written in a kind of shorthand that reminds me of the bulletin board at my high
Continue readingOne of today’s most emailed NPR stories discusses a book by Robert Jensen, a professor of media ethics and journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. In his book, Jensen purports to explain why all white people are in fact racists. I haven’t listened to the story, nor have
Continue readingAs I’ve noted before, feminism keeps reinventing religion in a feminized version. The latest example, courtesy of NPR, is the feminist rediscovery of the mikvah — the ritual bath Orthodox Jewish women take every month after their period before resuming sexual relations with their husbands. Here’s the feminist take on
