Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It occurred to me this morning that, when I play political “word association,” the results are interesting. The game is to think of big events in America, past or present, and then associate a political party name with them, whether because the party was in power at the time or

Everything that’s wrong with the Left in one website. At City Journal, Oren Cass has written a short article that looks at modern Progressivism through the filter of Hillary’s campaign website. In some ways, the article says something we all know, which is that the modern Democrat party is not

This petition is brilliant and deserves as many signatures as possible. It’s time that conservatives go Alinsky (Rule No. 4, to be specific) and either force the Left to live up to its stated values or expose it widely for its continued failure to do so: WHEREAS, Secretary of State John

Liberals are more compassionate if you believe (a) that the state is the source of all charity and succor; (b) that it’s perfectly okay to strip people of their hard-earned wealth to feed the endlessly hungry state; (c) that it doesn’t matter whether the state fails when it comes to

Lefties are thrilled about Melania’s little bit of plagiarism, and no wonder — if they don’t keep Americans focused on that, how are they going to keep American eyes of off the amazing speeches by Pat Smith, whose son died in Benghazi on Hillary’s watch, after which Hillary lied to

True confession: I didn’t watch the convention last night. Mr. Bookworm, whose politics don’t align with mine, got to the TV first. I did read about it, however, and I came away with the impression that it was a blessing that so many turncoat GOP operatives stayed away. Frankly, operatives

Now that we’re the Banana Republic of America, I think it’s time for the #NeverTrump crowd to have a little “Come To Jesus” talk to determine whether they want Hillary the Untouchable, and her entire Leftist panoply of friends and goals, in the White House, or whether they’re willing to

I have so many great posters today that I have to break them into several posts. This one is going to be made up of posters I’ve classified as either “Hillary,” “Stupid Liberals,” or “Democrats.” I think you’ll enjoy them all:

Earlier today, I posted about Neil deGrasse Tyson’s ridiculous wish for a purely rational world. Two hours later, I learned about Jonah Goldberg’s intelligent, funny attack on the Leftist insistence that, while conservatives are slimy, stupid ideologues, Leftists are utterly free from ideology and, instead, live in a pure world of

It seems to me that an alternative title for this video could be “Moral Relativism Kills.” The West’s feminists freely go around denigrating Western men (especially white Western men) as rapists, sexual chauvinists, workplace pigs, and tyrants, etc. However, when faced with the real tyranny of Islamic and Arab culture

A collection of pictures has been circulating on my real-me Facebook feed, a feed mostly populated by Progressives (thanks to a lifetime spent in Progressive strongholds). The Progressives who post it are very proud of themselves when they share these images of costumed “angels” taking a stand against the Westboro

I’ll spell out my premise and then see if I can sell you on it: In the dystopian world Obama is creating, his foreign policy is the “looking glass” version of Kissinger’s détente. Obama sees himself creating a balance between the Middle East and the West that will lead to

I was driving into the city the other day with a friend, a Progressive friend, and she commented approvingly on the $30 million mobile barrier installed last year on the Golden Gate Bridge. I blogged about this at the time, noting that according to the local newspaper, since 1971 only

I’ve been struggling to come up with a down-and-dirty definition of modern Progressivism. I know that we can just call it socialism with an American accent, but that’s inaccurate. We need to define it correctly because doing so allows us to see and address Ground Zero — the creation point

The following is a real transcription (the best I can do from memory) of a real conversation I overheard between two people, one of whom is beginning to see the light, and the other of whom embraces the darkness: Truth Seeker: The problem is with Islam. True Believer: No, it’s
