Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
‘Cause we’re all reading of the same stuff, I suspect many of you are already familiar with the fact that, when journalist Phelim McAleer asked Al Gore an inconvenient question about climate change, his fellow journalists turned off his mic. After all, the best way to deal with inconvenient facts
Continue readingCharles Krauthammer spells it out: America’s decline is not a by-product of Obama’s myriad Left wing policies; it is, instead, his primary goal. Think of that as you wonder why a Leftist European prize committee awarded the formerly prestigious Nobel Peace Prize to Obama. Of course, this isn’t new to
Continue readingWell, I don’t actually know what happens to a politically driven scientific consensus about man-made global warming when the underlying data is corrupt. But I can tell you that you can watch this cognitive dissonance begin to play out if you check out the Strata-Sphere post that examines the opinings
Continue readingWhen it comes to Obama’s speech before the UN, Brett Schaefer and Nile Gardiner are both kind enough to attribute to naivete what I’m increasingly sure is a malignant combination of anti-American feeling and antisemitism. In the same vein, Paul, at PowerLine, a blogger who has tried to be level-headed
Continue readingThe media repeatedly assures us that there is no question — and cannot be any question — about climate change. That particular bit of science is settled, with all the data collected, a position the media holds to strenuously despite significant amounts of data that contradict the claim that humans
Continue readingMy mind is full of Fleet Week events. As in the past two years, it promises to be a very exciting week for me and my family. I know I’m going to be on a Coast Guard boat on the Bay when the Blue Angels fly, I know I’m going
Continue readingAt Big Government today, Evan Coyne Maloney, another of the young conservative guns who uses modern media techniques to bring down Democratic dinosaurs, asks how it is that the media completely missed the ACORN scandal. Maloney thinks that political correctness created the blinders media figures wore. To the extent that
Continue readingLong before the inflammatory ACORN videotapes emerged, I always looked at that little ACORN logo and thought that it was a surprisingly phallic design. Confederate Yankee has now put the whole thing into its proper context.
Continue readingI’m a migraine sufferer, but otherwise a very healthy person. I’ve always likened my migraines to aphids on an otherwise healthy plant — they’re external to the real me, although they can cause plenty of damage. This LA Times editorial, which has the decency to recognize just how appalling the

Continue readingBruce Kesler sent around an email asking whether we thought victory was possible in Afghanistan. My reply was that I don’t think the Democrats can conceive of victory as a possible outcome. As I wrote to him, I’m the child of parents who fought in WWII and the Israeli War
Continue readingI’ve got two quick environmental links for you today. The first has to do with pollution. You know that I’ve said at this blog all along that cap-and-trade is stupid, not only because it will destroy America’s economy, but because the really big up-and-coming polluters are China and India. Turns
