Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
UPDATE from Bookworm: Poor Enrico’s. Because its name features prominently on the building, people are assuming it posted the sign. It did not. From Enrico’s facebook page: You may have received an email about a sign that says “FU (spelled out) Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina” asking you to call

Continue readingOne of the points my liberal friend has made in the last few talks we’ve had is that the Tea Party candidates are dangerous nuts (witness Christine O’Donnell’s flirtation with witchcraft when she was 16). He claims that the Democrat candidates and politicians are models of normalcy. I was wondering
Continue readingMy friend Sally Zelikovsky says it in the clearest words possible: Unless conservatives in California vote for the Republicans, we will have a Sacramento government made up entirely of San Francisco Democrats. If that horrible outcome sounds painfully obvious to you, you don’t know California. There are two dynamics in
Continue readingJuan Williams breached PC, group-think protocol by giving voice to a personal feeling, which is the fear of Muslims on airplanes. This is not an irrational fear. While the percentage of Muslims who will be threats on airplanes is small, the percentage of mass murderers who board airplanes and happen
Continue readingMike Pence asked me for money today. He seems like a good guy. I hope he wins. Life, liberty and limited government, he wrote, these are the cherished ideals of our nation, and they are ideals from which we must never stray. Indeed they are. Truly American ideals. As David

What I like about this video clip is Sean Bielat‘s poise and humor in handling said boyfwiend’s heckling: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWmLAqYjvLg[/youtube] Bielat seems to have mastered many of the US Marine’s Leadership Traits which is, in itself,
Continue readingJust two posts I really wanted to bring to your attention, written by two bloggers whose intelligence and good sense I admire: First, Elizabeth Scalia (the Anchoress), with a lovely, polite savagery, gives NOW the pounding it deserves. Second, Bruce Kesler reports on a speech that Barry Rubin gave (Rubin
Continue readingDon’t listen to what Chris Coons says, pay attention to what he does, and to the people who support the fruits of his labors. And if you’re a voter in Delaware, remember that the media has a vested interest in doing anything possible to destroy a Republican candidate with a
Continue readingThis is how it works if you’re a Democrat: They’ve got your back, fighting against our nation’s mortal enemies (so you don’t have to), and you respond by stabbing them in their collective back, by denying them their constitutional right to have a say in our government.
Continue readingFor my book club, I’m reading The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History, 1300-1850. The title is self-explanatory and the book’s premise simple: Following a fairly halcyon early medieval period that saw global warming, and with it a rare stability in an intensely agrarian world, the world cooled down,
Continue readingI found the report about the White House solar panels interesting. In theory, I think solar panels are a fine idea. In practice, here in the land of PG&E, I do not. You see, we have solar panels. It cost us roughly $15,000 to install them. Before we even purchased
Continue readingI told my friend Don Quixote about the way in which liberals were boasting that the crowds at One Union exceeded those at Restoring Honor, despite the fact that the pictorial evidence showed the opposite to be true. Don Quixote, a lifelong conservative, responded by asking “Do liberals really believe
Continue readingUnless you’ve been on a camping trip in a remote wilderness for the past few days, you’ve heard about the video that a British climate change advocacy group prepared. The short video takes you through a variety of settings (classrooms, workplaces, sports fields), in which people are encouraged to diminish
Continue readingOne of the routine accusations leveled against socialism is that it seeks to usurp the role of the adult in society. If the government provides cradle to grave care, the people don’t have to. They don’t have to raise their children, they don’t have to feed their families, they don’t
