Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve already admitted to my crush on Elbert Guillory, a crush that formed when he was still a Democrat, although he must already have been planning to leave that party. My political crush has just deepened into a full-blown, out-and-out case of political passion. If you haven’t yet watched this
Continue readingWatch this video at Power Line and keep a close eye on things at around the 2:06 mark. Then try to tell me with a straight face that you haven’t suddenly developed a little political crush on Democrat Elbert Guillory. By the way, I know nothing about Rep. Guillory other
Continue readingYou don’t really have to work hard to know what a “Progracist” is. Indeed, it’s surprising, once you think about it, that nobody invented this neologism before. I mean, it would have applied as perfectly to Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger as it does to today’s Progressives. Please check out
Continue readingI’ve written before about one of my favorite writers, Paul Fussell. He wrote a wonderful essay entitled Thank God for the Atom Bomb, about the righteousness of dropping the atom bomb. He was in the Army when Truman dropped the bomb, so Fussell wholeheartedly approved — and had the data
Continue readingD. Lee is the author of a short (17 page) monograph called Race-Baiting Insanity: Liars and the Romney Campaign (Race-Baiting Insanity Series #5). It is part of a series of monographs about the way in which the Left uses race to advance its political agenda. Lee wanted us to know
Continue readingAlec Baldwin was in the news this morning for having another rage attack on New York’s streets, this one complete with foul racial epithets. The easy line to take with this is that Alec Baldwin is a racist. I’m not sure it’s quite that simple, though. Instead, I see Baldwin’s
Continue readingJustice Sotomayor came to San Francisco and inadvertently made the case that affirmative action terribly unfair — and, moreover, that people are right if they believe, not that it gives qualified minorities a chance, but that it handicaps non-minorities at the expense of any minorities, qualified or not. Let me
Continue readingMy father, alev ha-shalom, had forgotten more about English — his third language — than most people will ever know. In addition to reading novels and non-fiction for pleasure, he would amuse himself reading dictionaries, grammar books, and stories about the English language. (In that last genre, my favorite was one
Continue readingThe Left is excited: two people were allegedly ejected from the RNC because they threw peanuts at a black CNN camera operator and said “this is how we feed the animals.” Put aside the fact that this happened with two people out of thousands in attendance, and put aside the
Continue readingBlack and Right has produced a brilliant video to help you understand how racism works in Obama’s America: As Homer Simpson would say, “It’s funny because it’s true.” Oh, wait! The fact that it’s true makes it singularly unfunny. Is this the way our nation is choosing its president? Will
Continue readingThere used to be an old joke that the Jewish vote pivoted on each Jew asking himself this question “Is it good for the Jews?” Not a very nice stereotype, but probably a true one — and true for any group in America, whether white, WASP, Jewish, Catholic, Asian, Baptist,
Continue readingIt turns out that conservatives aren’t the only ones upset about the absence of diversity revealed in the choice of moderators for the presidential and vice-presidential debates. Tavis Smiley, a black man who has made a career out of being concerned about racial quotas, notices that the best the MSM
Continue readingMorgan Freeman, a man who lets his periodic acting roles as God and other authority figures go to his head, has now announced that it’s okay to castigate Barack Obama, because Obama isn’t really black. Instead, he’s half white. It seems cavalier at this junction to point out that Morgan
Continue readingI’m finding some wonderful gems hidden in my inbox. This one goes back to April, but is too good not to share now. It’s a news story about the way in which the Swedish cultural elite — including the Minister of Culture — celebrate. Here’s a hint about what you’ll
Continue readingDespite any actual evidence, Elizabeth Warren sticks resolutely to her claim that she is 1/32 Native American. This is how crazy people think. Do you know how I know that? Because I just watched Bowfinger with the kids. Bowfinger, which was made in 1999, when one could still be at
