Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Sometimes life has a peculiar harmony. Yesterday morning, Instapundit linked to a post I did in 2012 noting that women’s magazines have been one of the strongest vehicles in America for Progressive propaganda, and agreeing with Glenn Reynolds that conservatives need to get in the women’s magazine business if they want
Continue readingThe horrible thing about Leftism . . . okay, let me rephrase that: One of the many horrible things about Leftism is that it trains its adherents to look at the world through dirt-colored glasses. Everything that is good and beautiful and charming is perceived as dark, depressing, and awful.
Continue readingAnother day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
Continue readingHaving watched the Republican debate on Tuesday, I decided that it behooved me to watch the Democrat debate today. A few things before I begin. First, I did not take notes, so I’m riffing here a bit without any specific road map. Second, I tried to watch the debate through
Continue readingIf you read one thing today, read Daniel Greenfield about Leftism as a brand. He perfectly describes the milieu in which I grew up and in which I live: The left originally wanted to be seen as associated with the lower class, even though it actually came out of the
Continue readingI don’t know how this happened, but in just three days of collecting articles on my cyber-spindle, I’ve managed to gather together almost thirty solid links I want to share with you. No time for chat, therefore; instead, I’ll plunge straight into my fascinating “world gone mad” edition: If you
Continue readingI have sitting in front of me a piece of a very juicy story that’s happening in real-time — and I can’t do anything about it right now! Two things stop me: The first is that, as I said, I currently only have a piece, and I need more information
Continue readingHe’s informed, he smart, he’s disciplined, and he’s wise enough not to slime people when all he has to do is stand aside and let them slime themselves: Oh, and about that 97% study, it’s so bogus.
Continue readingIf you have time today to read only one thing, you must read Kevin Williamson’s The Democrats’ Theme for 2016 Is Totalitarianism. I’ll get you started, and then you have to click on the link to finish: At the beginning of December, Rolling Stone writer Jeff Goodell asked Secretary of

Continue readingI did it again — I let my inbox get out of hand, so much so that I woke up this morning to discovery over a thousand unread emails in the email accounts for which I’m responsible. Going through them isn’t my favorite activity (too much guilt about emails I
Continue readingI found myself in conversation today with a Progressive who thought that Obama’s oval office address was just wonderful. “What did you like about it?” I asked him. “It was a very mature speech,” the Progressive replied, “and he said what I would have said.” Of course I asked, “What
Continue readingWe’re 11/12 of the way through a rather challenging year. I wonder what the last month will bring, not to mention the remaining 12.5 months of Obama’s presidency. Well, the future will be what it will be. Let’s use this round-up, which I compiled with a friend’s help, to focus on
Continue readingIf you have Progressive friends, you know that one of their favorite sites is IFLScience or, as it’s otherwise known, “I F**king Love Science.” (And is there anything a Progressive loves more than using the F-word, a decidedly infantile passion?) To support the Paris Climate (and anti-terrorism) conference, IFLScience proudly re-printed an article
Continue readingIt’s not a very deep dive to plumb the depths of Leftist intellectual positions on most issues, but it’s still a worthwhile exercise to expose the fallacies that they use to try to dominate the debate on pressing issues — with the most pressing issue being whether to admit Syrian
