Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
James O’Keefe may well be one of the most important journalists out there. This time, he’s caught a few Obamacare navigators following the ACORN model (“please, defraud the federal government and American taxpayers”): UPDATE: And here’s the companion news story about “limitless” security risks. Americans now have a rock and
Continue readingThose of us who remember the Cold War also remember the Cold War joke. Many of these were jokes that had actually originated within the Soviet Union itself, as Russian citizens used mordant humor to deal with communist life. When I was growing up, those jokes had a great deal
Continue readingI had the opportunity the other day to dine with a collection of Blue State liberals. It was enlightening, not because I actually learned anything from them, but because I learned about them. It was also a reminder of how far I’ve traveled ideologically, because I used to be one
Continue readingAt PowerLine, Paul Mirengoff analyzes a Politico article that attempts to assess the political fallout from Obamacare. The Politico writers, says Mirengoff, acknowledge that those in the individual insurance market aren’t feeling the love for the Democrats now, but imply that the majority of these people would have voted Republican
Continue readingObamacare 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 readingIt seems that excessive alcohol consumption is the name of the game this week at Bookworm Room. Yesterday, I posted about the fact that my liberal friends believe that it’s wrong to tell teenage girls and young women that they increase their chances of getting raped if they drink to
Continue readingLast week, Emily Yoffe, who writes regularly at Slate set of a firestorm when she wrote a post that offered what normal, non-politically correct people, recognize as extremely good advice: Tweens and young women, if you don’t want to get raped, don’t get drunk. Yoffe wasn’t giving rapists, even drunk
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 readingAJ Strata looked at Obama’s approach to American land — i.e., “This land belongs to me, not you” — and decided to revamp Woody Guthrie’s famous “This land is your land” a bit. I think he did a great job. More than that, though, he exposed a beautiful irony. Woodie
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?
