Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One of the things I love about Andrew Breitbart is that he’s willing to challenge the bluffs and cons emanating from the Left. While the Republican establishment was apologizing for the alleged claim that Tea Partiers hurled the “n-word,” Breitbart figured out that the absence of footage was significant —
Continue readingOkay, folks, I’m going to admit to racism here, by which I mean that I’m advancing a position based on racial considerations. I just learned through The Corner that there is an online conservative journal on the scene called Freedom’s Journal Magazine. Aside from the fact that it has one
Continue readingHoward Fineman was going along all right in a column admitting that the health care bill was politically dangerous for the Democrats and that Americans really don’t like it. Then he got stupid — and it’s the kind of stupid that either proves he has minimal gray matter in his
Continue readingMany of my facebook friends have been posting stories (from the NYT, the WaPo, NPR, etc.), about the incredibly violent, dangerous, racist, and homophobic tea partiers. I countered this morning with a very neutral post to the effect that, in a two party system, citizens will always challenge the president,
Continue readingAndrew Klavan goes back and forth between being quite brilliant and being very brilliant. I’ll let you decide where this one falls. I will add only that my mother, who voted for Obama, told me that she’s very resentful of the way she was duped. I wanted to tell her
Continue readingOrganizing For America (the Obamabot organization) has set up a handy-dandy web page so that the Obamatrons can easily write to local newspapers to crow about the wonders of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obama Care. The goal, of course, is to get published, and make people feel as if
Continue readingLast week, I did a post about the news stories that followed in the wake of the conservative Groupa-Palooza gathering the heart of liberal Marin County. I focused especially on one San Francisco Chronicle reporter who was shocked by a shirt one of the attendees was wearing: Regarding that last,
Continue readingOn Saturday, the Novato chapter of Organizing For America (Obama’s activist group) sent an urgent email to its list members, warning them of the horrors of a conservative gathering in Mill Valley on Sunday: Subject: Fwd: Rally Mill Valey [sic] Tomorrow Hi, everyone. You may have read about this in
Continue readingAs you might have guessed, despite his self-identification as a Democrat, his Bush-loathing and his Truther beliefs, the MSM is characterizing the Pentagon shooter as a “right-wing extremist.” Allahpundit asks almost the right question: Is it possible to be a “left-wing extremist” anymore or do nuts who embrace some lefty
Continue readingSome months ago, I read and enjoyed Michael Sragow’s fine Victor Fleming: An American Movie Master. It’s clear from the book that, as a director, Fleming was the last of a dying breed — a gentleman in Hollywood and, of course, a truly great director, responsible for such classics as
Continue readingFinally, Israel lashes back . . . at the misrepresentations in the European media. Anyone who speaks Hebrew, French or Spanish, will have a huge advantage over me when it comes to appreciating the videos at that site. To learn more about the ad campaign if you don’t speak those
Continue readingJoseph Stack, the man who flew a plane into the IRS building in Austin, Texas, left a long, a very long, pre-suicide/pre-murder screed identifying those issues that drove him to commit his act. The most obvious thing about the screed is that it is the work of someone with cognitive
Continue readingDespite the fact that my tax dollars fund it, I pretty much ignore NPR, even when it pulls stupid stunts such as running an extremely crude little video cartoon that lambastes the Tea Party movement by promising to teach “How to Speak Teabag.” Speaking “teabag,” of course, involves mouthing things
Continue readingSince the beginning, climate change skeptics have said that the hysteria of the man-made global warming movement, aside from being based on manifestly shoddy and often dishonest science, was in fact a Leftist political gambit. The Communists, having failed to win the world over with a Cold War had regrouped
Continue readingOne of the things I like about the Drudge Report is the way that Matt Drudge, almost as if he’s writing free form poetry, assembles little essays by aggregating headlines. He’s a master at this. Despite the fact that the headlines are out there for anyone else to assemble, no
