Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
At first, when I watched White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, I thought he was a buffoon. I then began to think that his gibberish was a rather clever approach to hiding unpalatable news. I’ve now realized that Gibbs is, above all, the perfect symbol of the Nanny State: he
Continue readingFor reasons that make no sense to me, I don’t go to Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government site as often as I should. Wait, I take that back. I know precisely why I don’t go: it’s an incredible repository of closely researched and factually supported articles detailing the way in which
Continue readingThere’s yet another movie coming out about the way in which the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq destroy lives and turn young men into pathetic losers: There is a grim timeliness to the release of “Brothers,” Jim Sheridan’s movie about the effects of war on the family of a Marine
Continue readingI want to be a journalist. I mean, heck, who would want a job where you don’t have to think and you don’t have to research — all you have to do is emote. That’s what emotive New York Times “journalist” Nick Kristof did when he wrote a sob story
Continue readingFrom The Weekly Standard: With the release of hundreds of emails by scientists advocates of global warming showing obvious and entirely inappropriate collusion by the authors — including attempts to suppress dissent, to punish journals that publish peer-reviewed studies casting doubt on global warming, and to manipulate data to bolster
Continue readingIt would be a must-see video if only for the Rick Astley (don’t ask), but I strongly urge you to see it for the actual content. Klavan just nails it here.
Continue readingI just had to laugh. The New York Times report on the hacked climate change documents starts off pretty honestly: Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate
Continue readingI have to open this post by saying that I have never seen Glenn Beck, not even for a second. I don’t like the emotional school of journalism and, in any event, I prefer to read, not watch, my news. I do appreciate Glenn Beck, however, for two things: his
Continue readingThis, from James Taranto, at Best of the Web: Accountability Journalism An Associated Press dispatch, written by Erica Werner and Richard Alonso-Zaldivar, compares the House and Senate ObamaCare bills. We’d like to compare this dispatch to the AP’s dispatch earlier this week “fact checking” Sarah Palin’s new book. Here goes:
Continue readingLiberals assured us back in 2008 that, after the horrible Cowboy Bush years, we needed someone charming to bring rogue governments back into the American fold. So far, these same rogue governments have been resistant to Obama’s charm, whether in Russia or the Palestinian territories* or Iran, just to to
Continue readingLook on the lower left right side of the screen capture to see a very interesting the poll from the Marin Independent Journal, the local Marin newspaper: The poll, of course, can be totally slanted because of a couple of emails to conservatives living in Marin. What makes the poll
Continue readingObama has known for more than 12 months that he was going to become CIC, with responsibility for Afghanistan. This means 12 months of presidential advisers able to give this neophyte help in figuring out the best strategy for the war that he declared, during the campaign, was the essential,
Continue readingI saw a headline at Drudge, to the effect that there is a photo of Afghan “insurgents” with U.S. ammo. The story, although I’m sure it’s interesting, interested me less than that word “insurgent.” We’ve all talked about the fact that “insurgent” a word that allows a politically correct, liberal
Continue readingI don’t think the media has ever before been so blatant in its desire to divorce an evil act from its ideological origins, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen that game played out. More than two years ago, a short lived comedy show on Fox used the occasion
Continue readingMy liberal friend is a headline reader. That’s why we had a ridiculous conversation in which he wondered about the Fort Hood shooter’s motives. To the reader who scans, headlines that say “motives a mystery” trump even those articles that add, under the headline, little facts such as Muslim death
