Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Don Quixote sent me an email this morning. It seemed like a great thing to post, especially while I’m digesting all the stuff in today’s news: Subject: The Fence………. Which side of the fence? If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great
Continue readingLast year, an Oakland transit police officer, Johannes Mehserle, killed Oscar Grant, in a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station. Grant was being, to put it mildly, obstreperous. Mehserle’s defense is that he meant to taser Grant but, instead, shot him. Video footage made at the time indicates that Mehserle
Continue readingThe Anchoress posted at her blog a semi-animated video by a self-avowed Marxist explaining why Marxism, not capitalism, will save the world. I have to admit that I didn’t watch it. It wasn’t the content that drove me away, it was the choppy visuals, which trigger migraines. Having just beaten
Continue readingKim Priestap, who blogs at Up North Mommy, got an impassioned email from the Democratic Party, raving about Elena Kagan. Does it rave about her brains? No (although it mentions as an aside that she’s “among the best legal minds this country has to offer,” which is a depressing comment
Continue reading[Note from Bookworm: As of now, the video embed of Pete Stark you’ll see in the post below has only 97 hits. It should have a million hits. Pete Stark is, and always has been, an exceptionally nasty piece of work. However, Democratic acts in Washington make it clear that
Continue readingNeo-Neocon spells out clearly and explicitly how the ugly tyranny of the current Democratic majority may continue, even if voters throw “da bums” out of office.
Continue reading[Prepare yourself; this is a long one. Long-time readers may also recognize that I’ve cannibalized old posts in the service of a new point.] A friend sent me a link to a 1951 video, showing a popular American singing group celebrating the creation of the State of Israel, something that
Continue readingIt’s the first day of summer for my kids, so I’ve been in mommy mode all day (expect when I was in martial arts mode, which was, frankly, more fun). Things cross my radar, though, and there are three things that came my way that I wanted to put onto
Continue readingIt tells you how quickly the world is moving that José María Aznar was prime minister in Spain as recently as 2004. It’s impossible today to imagine any current world leader, including our own President, writing this about Israel. I’ve posted Aznar’s message on both of my facebook sites, emailed
Continue readingI spoke with a fellow parishioner today about our children. This well-meaning, socially aware good fellow (an attorney) was extolling how well his son was progressing in his Ivy League undergraduate education. And, I asked, what was he studying? Environmental sciences. Ah, I said…that’s an interesting and certainly timely field
Continue readingI have to boast just a little bit. Despite driving for more than thirty years, I’ve never had a moving violation. I have heard, however, that if the highway patrol pulls you over for speeding, it’s no defense to point to the traffic passing you and the officer by, while
Continue readingI first ran this YouTube video three years ago, when Barack Obama, our nation’s first anti-American president, was still a theory, not a fact. It bears watching now, as we witness Obama’s efforts to bring about a world without America: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwAtNILh6uY[/youtube]
Continue readingOn the right side of the blogosphere, we have often discussed the fact that, during the Bush years, the Left indulged in gory fantasies of George Bush being shot or beheaded. In the interest of fairness, it behooves me to point out that some on the Left indulge in similar
Continue readingIf you read only one thing today, please read Andrew McCarthy’s incredibly sad and disturbing article about the way in which we are currently being governed by foreigners, all American born, in Congress and the White House. Then, if you have time for a second read today, check out what
Continue readingI have to say that this video actually made me giggle, because having all of Al Gore’s doom-and-gloom compressed to less than 2 minutes, and then playing Pomp & Circumstance in the background, is more like a cartoon than anything else. Then again I didn’t have to listen to the
