Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Rusty Shackleford, the scourge of Jihadists on the internet (no exaggeration), has started a new site: Believe in American (aka Blogs4Mitt.com). It’s still a little embryonic, but it’s absolutely the right idea. The old media is teetering on the brink, while the new media is becoming ascendant. BUT, the old
Continue readingOne of the most startling features of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, a book that examines the killing fields that Stalin and Hitler created in the lands between Germany and Russia proper, is the way in which these socialist leaders were so willing to kill people in the millions
Continue readingMy purpose in writing this post is to reveal and challenge the Leftist thought bubble in which Barack Obama lives. Before I get to that point, however, I want to give you a little look at the on-the-ground effects that bubble has on those who are exposed only to Leftist
Continue readingThe debate about “which candidate treats dogs worse” inevitably descended into farce, with almost no intermediate steps. Putting aside the insanity of spinning a presidential campaign around decades’ old decisions about dogs, Americans are probably going to be sympathetic to putting a dog in a protected hutch on the roof
Continue readingThe Democrats are pointing to Romney’s wealth as a reason to vote against him. In keeping with their Marxist world view that the economy is a finite pie, they are arguing, both implicitly and explicitly, that he must have stolen his wealth from the little people. Republicans, rather than sneering
Continue readingDoes history repeat itself? I fervently hope not. Ok, I have grudgingly thrown my support behind Mitt Romney. It’s not that I am excited about Romney as a candidate, but I am genuinely excited about the need to get Obama out of office before he does irreversible damage to this
Continue readingYes, Nietzsche ended up insane, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t occasionally hit the nail on the head. Although it isn’t true in all cases that “what does not destroy me makes me stronger,” it is true in many cases. In the case of Newt Gingrich’s most recent attack against
Continue readingI believe I’ve mentioned on several occasions here that the more I hear from Allen West, the more I like him. Is he ready to be President? Is there time for him to step into the fray? Allen West (Photo by Gage Skidmore) I don’t know the answer to those
Continue readingWhy, oh why, oh why can’t I get more excited about Mitt? On paper, he’s a very good candidate. Yes, there have been flips and flops, but it’s naive to expect perfect political purity from any candidate. Aside from that, he’s straight out of Hollywood’s central casting, circa 1944: well-educated,
Continue readingBack in 1987, when he was campaigning for President, one of George H. W. Bush’s advisers suggested that he back off from spouting minutiae to the electorate and spend some time focusing on the big picture, So that he could better sell himself to Americans. According to contemporaneous reports, Bush,
Continue readingThe alternative title for this post is “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Scott Galupo is no Newt Gingrich fan, but he genuinely hates Mitt Romney, whom he describes in the same terms once used to describe Tom Cruise: “I don’t sense a man there. I sense a
Continue readingBack in 2007 and 2008, I pretty strongly supported Romney. If you check out my Mitt Romney category of posts, you’ll see myriad posts in which I praised his economic acumen and his character. It looks as if I’ll be dusting those posts off again. When Perry came on the
Continue readingStephen Hayward advances a solid argument that Romney has the lock on the nomination. As I read it, the core of is argument is that Romney is the seasoned Republican campaigner, whose weaknesses have already been thoroughly exposed by a hostile media. Perry still has ahead, as Hayward says, a
Continue readingIn 2008, I strongly supported Romney. I liked his cheerful attitude (somewhat Reaganesque, although he clearly lacks the Great Communicators verbal abilities); I loved the fact that, in both the public and private sector, he has an incredible track record of being effective; and I really appreciated his money savvy.
Continue readingI know that, in the run-up to the to the 2008 presidential election, many Christians said that they could not vote for Romney because he is a Mormon. I’m wondering if that’s changed. Romney may be a Mormon but Obama is, well, Obama. For true Christians, can there be a
