Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As Jonah Goldberg pointed out in Liberal Fascism, socialists, as part of their ongoing effort to perfect mankind, are obsessed with food intake. The Nazis were especially focused on purifying the Aryan body. Now, I’m not likening the San Francisco Board of Stupidvisors to the Nazis — God forbid! —
Continue readingWord got out that ANSWER, a Communist front group, is planning a protest at the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco today (June 1), so Stand With Us in San Francisco is trying to gather for a counter-protest. So, the email you see below is from a group friendly to Israel,
Continue readingI’m not a San Francisco voter, nor am I familiar with the GOP in that District. (All I know is that stalwart SF GOPers must truly be of hardy stock.) Having received this email, however, I wanted to pass it on to you, for what it’s worth. It’s not an
Continue readingAt least one less extreme Democrat in San Francisco is very worried about the hardcore Leftism that has taken root and flourished in the City. A City that was always to the lefter side of the political spectrum now has the potential to devolve into the kind of ideological Leftism
Continue readingI’m all for reducing pollution, but we don’t need a trumped-up excuse like “climate change” in order to achieve a cleaner environment. Minimizing pollution is a legitimate goal which stands on its own merits; concocting hysterical disaster scenarios (such as those shown in An Inconvenient Truth) only serves to undermine
Continue readingI’m in San Francisco on a fairly regular basis, which has given me ample time to see, repeatedly, ads on the side of MUNI buses. I can’t remember the wording, since I only see these ads for instants at a time, but they pretty much say, “Fill out the census,
Continue readingI spent many years working in downtown San Francisco. Indeed, more to the point for this article, I spent many years working in the Transamerica Pyramid. I know the area well. It is entirely urban, in that it is an amalgam of high rises, low rises, and some trees planted
Continue readingThe beauty of a Tea Party in San Francisco is that this is home turf for Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein. It makes a real impact if their own home town makes a showing against the policies these three gals advance. Here’s the latest news. SAN FRANCISCO TEA PARTY UPDATE 1.
Continue readingYou and I know the incredible peculiarities of the Leftist world, which sees feminists ignoring sharia’s worst outrages and gay activists who are out in full cry trying to establish a fully Muslim Middle East, a place in which the only good gay activist will be a dead gay activist.
Continue readingHere are the latest details on the San Francisco Tea Party, from Tea Party organizer Sally Zelikovsky. Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town (I always am when these roll around, and it’s truly not on purpose), but I urge any of you within reasonable distance to attend. After all, San
Continue readingI’ve noted before that San Francisco (consistent with Democratic-run cities and states everywhere) is terribly cash-strapped. But politics will always trump practicality. Exactly one month ago, despite the fact that the school district is pretty much broke, the Board of Education voted, not just to cut education programs quite drastically,
Continue readingTwo days ago, I brought to your attention the fact that the San Francisco School Board — despite facing a $113 million dollar budget shortfall over the next two years, despite its admission that it will be cutting summer school and academic programs, and despite the fact that there has
Continue reading[UPDATE: The school board stopped mulling and decided to act.] Last week, I wrote a long, ruminative post questioning how far a democracy must go to protect its minorities. Stepping in, right on cue, the San Francisco School District, which is facing a disastrous budget shortfall, is considering a huge
Continue readingMy views on abortion have changed mightily over the years. The selfish, immature side of me still longs for a pro-choice label, but the mature, moral side of me has concluded that, subject to a few exceptions, pro-Life is the way to go. I won’t expand on that right now,
Continue readingI am distrustful of television, since it often creates a false reality. When the Loma Prieta earthquake hit San Francisco in 1989, I was out of town. The images shown on CNN made it look as if the whole city was in ruins. I was terrified about what had happened
