Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Over at Power Line, John Hinderaker made an extremely important point about any allegedly “scientific” report that comes out now regarding climate change, especially if the report is connected with the IPCC: The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is about to release its fifth report on global warming. One
Continue readingAustralian Topher Field makes some of the smartest videos out there, poking factual holes in liberal fallacies. Here, he demonstrates with actual numbers culled from the climate changers themselves that it costs 50 times as much to “combat” climate change (oh, we puny mortals and the things we think we
Continue readingTwo things come together in this article by Christina Hoff Sommers about the war that schools routinely wage against American boys. First, it’s written by Christina Hoff Sommers, a writer I’ve deeply admired since I first read Who Stole Feminism?: How Women Have Betrayed Women. I give her a great
Continue readingI enjoyed this little story from the Marin Independent Journal, which characterizes the benefits of climate change as a “surprise.” It’s no surprise to me, because plants like sunshine: Surprise. Marin’s majestic redwoods — and others around the state — are experiencing unprecedented growth due to warmer temperatures and sunnier
Continue readingI enjoy reading my Liberal-Lefty friends’ Facebook posts because they are so insightful into the mindsets of the Left. One insight that I have gained over time is that the differences between us conservatives and the Progressive/Left are so profound that they are unlikely to ever be bridged, barring some
Continue readingYesterday, my substantive Bookworm Room work was limited to a single post in which I linked to David Swindle’s article about Game of Thrones. Having read David’s writing, one of my friends sent me his take on Game of Thrones. I’d like to share parts of it with you, as

Continue readingI’ve written before that the IRS’s aggression towards conservative groups and individuals is the worst presidential scandal in American history because it represents the first time a government agency, which falls under the executive’s control, has used its vast power to target people and groups that oppose the administration’s agenda.
Continue readingYou may recall that I developed an instant political crush on Sen. Elbert Guillory, a black Louisiana state Senator who castigated the “race card” as a cheap tactic. It turns out my instincts were right on the money. Shortly after refusing to play the Democrat “race game,” Guillory became the
Continue readingYou all know that I do not believe in anthropogenic global warming (“AGW”). I believe in climate change, because the earth’s climate has always changed, since its first moment of existence. I believe that humans do control pollution and that we have an obligation to ourselves and to the other

Continue readingI never liked Alice Walker’s writing. The Color Purple was a poorly written pulp novel that got traction because it was marketed as a black woman’s rising up from the chains of racism. Others have written the same, only better. Walker has now confirmed that her bad writing comes about
Continue readingFellow Watcher’s Council member Trevor Loudon is a New Zealand-based conservative who cares deeply about, and worries ceaselessly about, the fact that communists and socialists are in America’s Congress. If Americans elected communists and socialists, that would be one thing, because a republican democracy is allowed to commit suicide if
Continue readingI really love Facebook. It helps me hone my epigrammatic skills, since I believe it demands some brevity; it allows me, in sneaky fashion, to expose my liberal friends to articles and ideas that don’t normally appear on their horizons; and it allows me to get a window into what
