Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A video that examines the vast chasm between Obama’s rhetoric at AIPAC gatherings and his actions towards Israel: And because actions have consequences, I thought you’d find interesting the way in which Obama’s attitude towards Israel is reflected in the way the media covers that nation — not even in
Continue readingThe Daily Mail is one of my go-to places. I love the strange amalgam of real news, crime stories, pop culture, and general miscellanea. Today, that miscellanea included an exquisite, and completely un-antisemitic, photo essay about an ultra-Orthodox wedding in Israel. The pictures are dazzling windows into a different world,
Continue readingEric Allen Bell, a former Daily Kos contributor and an independent filmmaker for Left-leaning outlets, had an epiphany recently: Islam is not a nice religion. Indeed, it’s a very un-nice religion, one that sees the embodiment of human perfection in a child-raping, misogynistic, antisemitic crime lord. When he tried to
Continue readingAndrew Breitbart is a dynamo. He’s also a happy warrior, as you can see during his 16 minute speech at CPAC. In addition to his promise that he has videos of Obama during those missing college years, Breitbart does something more important — he frames the upcoming election properly. It’s
Continue readingThe Daily Mail created a lovely matched set, showing side-by-side stories that perfectly illustrate the difference between life in a 21st century Sharia state and life in a 21st century Christian state: Life in a Sharia state: “We, the state, are going to kill gays.” Life in a Christian state:
Continue readingThe Washington Free Beacon is a new online paper with an interesting premise: unlike MSM papers, which treat liberalism as the norm, and conservativism as a headline grabbing abnormality, this publication gives the big scare headlines to the Left. In other words, it’s not just that it reports the stories,
Continue readingI want a job at the New York Times. It is clearly a place that pays people to be stupid. David Brooks gives Charles Murray’s Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 a very nice review. Coming Apart claims that there is a big divide between rich Americans and
Continue readingOver the years, I’ve written more than 10,000 posts. (Yeah, that’s a scary thought, isn’t it.) They do tend to run together in my mind, but there are a few standouts. These are the posts in which I felt that I offered an insight or analysis that is genuinely helpful
Continue readingA few days ago, writing with regard to the media’s decision to ignore the standing ovations Newt received during the last South Carolina debate, I asked “If the Press Ignores an Event, Does It Exist?” The press, it turns out, wants to take that experiment in ignoring facts as far
Continue readingWe all know the philosophical question that asks, “If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” The media is trying a variation on this question by asking, “If we completely ignore a fact, so that no one hears
Continue readingEver since Obama became president, the war dead have vanished. During the Bush presidency, enemy deaths filled that papers as we were accused of mass slaughter; during the Obama presidency, I think our troops are just out there having nice cups of tea with the bad guys, because none of
Continue readingOne of the many blessings of our American military is that it’s a Constitutional military that has as its Commander in Chief a civilian elected by the American public. (Although history has shown, fairly recently in fact, that the American public sometimes elects bad CinCs.) Because the elected CinC is
Continue readingIf you’ve been trolling the internet at all the lost couple of days, you’re aware by now that Christopher Knight, who has what is apparently a paying gig at the Los Angeles Times, has taken umbrage at a political cartoon likening the profligate Mrs. Obama to Marie Antoinette, who was
Continue readingAs you already know, I’m sure, the Ultra-Orthodox in Jerusalem are fighting hard to segregate men and women in public spaces in Jerusalem. I posted about the fact that Mr. Bookworm analogized this small group, which is fighting against a democratic, egalitarian government, to the sharia law that exists across
Continue readingWhen I first saw the headline — “A $2.5 Million Libel Judgment Brings The Question : Are Bloggers Journalists?” — I have to admit that I felt a bit queasy. When I write something snide about President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or any of the other prominent Democrats I
