Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
From Jennifer Rubin: Far from assuming the role of an “honest broker” in the Middle East (that would be an improvement at this point), Obama is affirmatively choosing sides, making every effort to identify with and sweet-talk the “Muslim world” as he conceives it. But this is not only a pro-Muslim
Continue readingWe knew this, but C. Edmund Wright sums it up as pithily as anything I’ve ever seen. In explaining why Democrats have been winning since 2006, despite the fact that America is a conservative country, Wright points out that Democrats agree with their representatives, while conservatives consistently find Republican politicians
Continue readingThis morning, I sort of glossed over the story of Representative Diane Watson (a Dem, of course), singing Castro’s praises to high heaven, as part of a broader attack against all of the One’s racist enemies, who are trying to destroy America just to destroy a black man: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6XwEiy60P0[/youtube] Here’s
Continue readingI’ve always been fascinated by the way in which language can degrade, especially when the object of a given word or phrase is not held in high esteem. For example, the word spinster simply used to mean a woman who spun thread. Over the years, the word came to mean
Continue readingThe current charge from Democrats (who control the White House and both houses of Congress), is that Republican operatives are engaging in fear mongering by sending either complicitous or naive little old men and women to town halls to harrass innocent Congress people with mean questions. Bad Republicans! Bad! But
Continue readingWe have been verbally pistol whipped by Al Gore and his gang of like minded Global Warming-Climate Change-Crap and Trade Thugs. Supermarket items no longer wear the prized badge of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Instead, these products have been replaced with a ‘green message’ – Buy me and
Continue readingMy one and only experience on a cruise ship was some 20 years ago, when I went on a fairly neat Caribbean cruise. I’m not much of a “lie on the beach” person, so I opted for a cruise that would take me to places that offered something to see.
Continue readingIn one of his usual delightful articles, Jonah Goldberg exposes the logical fallicies in the mean-spirited attacks our elected representatives (and their minions) are making against the American people: Nancy Pelosi, who will get her own bound volume in the annals of asininity, has outdone herself. When asked by a
Continue readingAllahPundit explains what’s really and truly going on in Washington, D.C.: Let me remind you again: They can pass any bill they want any time they want. Conservatives can scream their heads off at these things and there’s not an ounce of good it’ll do if Democrats are united. This
Continue readingYou’ve already read that the Big O (an increasingly empty hole if there ever was one) is now set to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, the Irish woman who has cheerfully led the UN into ever deeper antisemitic, anti-American depravity. Jennifer Rubin sums up beautifully the
Continue readingJames Lewis nails what’s driving the Birther issue, and gives a very good reason why we should abandon the birth certificate, but nevertheless focus on the other records: The birth debate about Obama is real enough, but it is legally complicated, as analyzed by legal beagle Andrew McCarthy at National
Continue readingWhen I was in high school, we spent a great deal of time studying Tammany Hall, not just because the school wanted us to understand that government is inherently corrupt, but because of the charming George Washington Plunkitt and his wonderful autobiography, Plunkitt of Tammany Hall. In it, with almost
Continue readingMy Dad always said that, when his time came, he’d just lie down and die. He was fatalistic and, after WWII and the Israeli War of Independence, not afraid of death. It all sounded very reasonable. But reason and experience aren’t the same. When my Dad was diagnosed with cancer,
Continue readingOrwell understood the totalitarian mindset. That’s why he invented Newspeak, a language with the specific goal of making anti-governmental thought impossible. The Wikipedia article on the subject sums it up nicely: Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell‘s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the novel, it is described as being
Continue readingDon Parker nails both the costs and hypocrisy behind the mandate in the new health care bill that seniors be gently steered towards a cheap death. UPDATE: Thanks to Old Flyer for reminding me of this, which fits in so perfectly with the new plan: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp-VFBbjpE[/youtube] UPDATE II: A story
