Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You’ve already heard about Kerry’s imaginary country, so I won’t work that one to death. You’ve also heard that Kerry said (correctly) that Americans have the right to be stupid. But did you catch what he said immediately after that? ‘In America, you have a right to be stupid, if
Continue readingThe Koch brothers are the Leftist media’s arch enemies. Because they donate money to free market think tanks, media coverage routinely vilifies them. If Satan got the kind of negative press the Koch brothers do, even Satanists would abandon him. The media’s articles make it appear that the Koch brothers’
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I railed against the fact that conservatives, despite good ideas, good history, and good spokes people, get absolutely no traction. Jonathan Tobin, in his post “The Rules Are Different For Obama,” gets to the heart of the matter, which is that the toxic amalgam of Obama
Continue readingEarlier today, while my kids were still at school, I wrote about the way in which unions pushed a Leftist agenda into the classroom. I should not have been surprised, therefore, when Little Bookworm came home from high school and told me that, because one of the teachers was absent,
Continue reading[UPDATE: I should clarify here that, while Fish regularly writes opinion pieces for the Times, and while his beliefs and the Times’ beliefs harmonize more often than not, Fish is not a salaried employee of the Times. I’ve changed the title of this post to add the phrase “guest columnist”
Continue readingIt wasn’t until I crossed the political Rubicon that I started appreciating the irony of the intro to so many PBS and NPR shows. Turn on Masterpiece Theater and a measured male voice announces, “This program is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation
Continue readingHot Air caught the New York Times public editor stating — with a straight face yet! — that she really has no idea what political viewpoint informs their writing. Maybe this screen shot, from today’s online edition, will help her: I’m sure both stories are true. That is, I don’t
Continue readingThe Leftists in the media were orgasmic yesterday as they again anointed Barack Obama “the next Reagan.” Ace explains why this is a dream, not a reality: Obama has always considered himself the Anti-Reagan — he would not only undo the Reagan coalition and the Reagan era, but do what
Continue readingDuring the past week, whenever I found myself alone in the car during good drive-time talk radio (i.e., Rush), I did something unusual: I didn’t listen. Instead, I turned to mindless pop music. I was thinking about this peculiar behavior on my part, because I truly love Rush. I think
Continue readingWhat made Andrew Breitbart extraordinary was that he understood that the best way to make a point was to show Progressives in the act of being hypocritical. This is different from what the conservative blogosphere is doing (and doing quite well, I might add), which is to report on hypocrisy
Continue readingThere’s still time to make a stand by signing the White House petition urging that we establish “gun free zones” around the President, VP, and their families. The thinking is that what’s sauce for the goose (we, the People) should definitely be sauce for the gander (our employees in Washington,
Continue readingMy fellow Watcher’s Council member, Greg, who blogs at Rhymes with Right, has put together the ultimate smack-down for those (especially those journalists) who argue that the Second Amendment extends only to muskets and other weapons in use when Congress enacted the Bill of Rights: Carrying this irrefutable logic over
Continue readingA friend pointed me in the direction of a New York Times article that argues that both Second Amendment supporters and Abortion supporters are too quick to panic whenever the topics come up for debate, thereby precluding all rational discussion. After describing the way VP Biden’s mention of Obama and

Continue readingToday’s big story the new tax bill that Obama jetted off to Hawaii before signing, but that will soon (and inevitably) become the law of the land. I don’t see any surprises. I knew that we’d get hit hard and so we have. I gather that sequestration has now been
