Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m guessing that a majority of Americans (a slim majority, but still a majority) know that America entered WWII because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. What few stop to consider is why we ended up fighting, not only the Japanese who had just bombed us, but the Germans as well,
Continue readingI’ve got an amazing array of links, all of which indicate that, with three weeks before the election, America and the Middle East aren’t static. Instead, there are a lot of things that are suddenly coming to the boil in ways that make me pray very hard that Mitt Romney
Continue readingThe video on its own is funny. With Wolf Howling’s accompanying post, it’s hysterical. Inspired, I used the concept at my “real me” Facebook account, a place where I delicately and subversively expose people to conservative ideas.

Continue readingFroggy, who blogs at BlackFive, attended the funeral of Ty Woods, one of the former Navy SEALS who died trying to defend the consulate in Benghazi that State Department policy left completely exposed. Dorothy Woods, Ty’s widow, had the emotional strength to deliver a powerful eulogy for her husband. Froggy
Continue readingI wish I’d said it this well: It’s really quite amazing. In Pakistan, Egypt, and the Palestinian territories, Christians are being harassed, brutalized, and even murdered, often with state support, or at least state indulgence. And let’s not even talk about the warm reception Jews receive in much of the
Continue readingThe only problem I have with this video is the narrator’s voice. It grates on me. Otherwise, I think the video says things that need to be said, and I hope it gets lots of air play: And while we’re on the subject, the Washington Examiner, in its sterling multipart
Continue readingThe story goes that Sam Bacile, an Israeli living in America, created a crude video that so inflamed Egyptian sensibilities that they had to besiege the American embassy in Cairo. I’ve been wondering how they got wind of that silly video in the first place. Now I’m wondering if this
Continue readingWe all recall how Michael Moore mercilessly savaged George Bush because, when the first reports about the 9/11 terrorist attacks began, Bush was reading a story book to small children, and chose not to run screaming out of the room. Fast-forward eleven years and we have a president who boasts

As he said, near the end of his own answer to the question, “I’ve been on the battlefield….” Maybe we ought to make battlefield experience a prerequisite for honest
Continue readingWould anyone care to explain to Mr. Bookworm the difference between an extremist sect breaking its country’s laws by discriminating against women, and a country that has as an integral part of its law and culture murderous attacks on women, “witches,” children and gays? He professes to be bewildered.
Continue readingHere’s a Robert Samuelson article, “bye bye Keynes” that should give us all pause: the arguments he uses to write Keynes’ obituary are arguments that we all posited in our own excoriation of Keynes in years past, in response to a string of commentators, ranging from A to Z. I’ve
Continue readingMy friend Navy One made the statement that is my post title. The statement appears in a post he wrote about Anwar al-Awlaki, a subject I probably should have covered, but didn’t. Now, of course, having read Navy One’s post, which is better than anything I could have written on
