Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I attended a family gathering not long ago, liberally populated with Liberal in-laws, in which the mood was decidedly sour. Discussions revolved around the poor job market, employment uncertainty and health insurance. In conversations, a lot of resentment was directed at corporations, CEOs and their “disgusting and greedy” profits, salaries,

Only 20 percent of Americans label themselves liberal, let alone leftist. How, then, do leftists get elected? And

Continue readingIs there a cause and effect between hate speech and violence? These tweeters are certain there is, and they believe that Palin should be tortured, given loathsome diseases and killed for having the temerity to engage in (unidentified) hate speech: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxgJKNpjSNI[/youtube] Hat tip: The Jawa Report

The Atlantic was roused; Mrs.

I’ve blogged on this point before, so I won’t belabor it. I’ll only say briefly that

My dear friend queried, “I need you to explain to me who Wikileaks is, and why they would release sensitve documents that could compromise national security. In layman’s terms please.”

Anyway, because of fair use concerns, I don’t want to quote more than the first two paragraphs, which more than adequately make

It turns out that this little moment of satire occasioned death threats so serious that she has now been forced into a life of hiding: An American cartoonist whose satirical work
