Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Yesterday I wrote a post saying that Trump is coming under the same attack that Palin did, not particularly because of their politics or accomplishments but because in the minds of the self-styled elite that populates Progressivism, Trump and Palin “are not one of us.” For people who value form
Continue readingI enjoy reading my Liberal-Lefty friends’ Facebook posts because they are so insightful into the mindsets of the Left. One insight that I have gained over time is that the differences between us conservatives and the Progressive/Left are so profound that they are unlikely to ever be bridged, barring some
Continue readingThere is a quality to real leaders called a “command presence”. You know the type: they walk into a room and by their force of presence, command of the facts, unshaken confidence and leadership qualities, they capture the narrative and control the agenda. That command presence is a necessary mark
Continue readingOur own Bizcor had the opportunity to attend a Tea Party Express rally on Labor Day. Here are his impressions: On Labor Day I attended a Tea Party Rally for the very first time and I really only went because Sarah Palin was going to speak. I am an unabashed
Continue readingIs it just me, or does the bus tour make Obama look like a Palin wannabe? Also, do you think the visuals are going to be good when (if my predictions are accurate), he’s met by no crowds or small, angry crowds, as opposed to Sarah’s huge, enthusiastic crowds? Whoever
Continue readingThis is it, the ultimate video. Every American should watch it. It pretty much sums up everything. Occasional word soup from someone in the hot seat all the time is okay, but the appalling ignorance is pretty unforgivable. Don’t believe me? Watch it yourself: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJfsLafye4[/youtube] UPDATE: Welcome, I Own The
Continue readingThe Anchoress quite correctly identifies Palin’s bus trip as game-playing. Palin, having been harassed unmercifully by the MSM since she burst upon the national political scene, is finally having her nyah-nyah-nyah moment. She’s turned the tables and is now harassing the MSM, which is very satisfying. The Anchoress suspects that
Continue readingMr. Bookworm loathes Sarah Palin: “She’s not one of us.” I don’t know what he means. She’s a married mom with children. She went to college. She and her husband work. They pay taxes. She doesn’t drink (or not to excess), smoke, or do drugs (so far as we know).
Continue readingI don’t have problems with calling things by their true names. So, I don’t think Palin erred in using the correct phrase — blood libel — to describe the heinous rhetorical attacks leveled against her. Barry Rubin does an excellent job explaining precisely why her word choice was so accurate.
Continue readingA couple of days ago, I posted a YouTube video made up entirely of tweets from Palin haters. It was a classic “unclear on the concept” thing, as the tweeters, in response to their perception that Palin’s “hate speech” caused the Tucson shooting, tried to top each other with vivid
Continue readingIvory Tower used to be a compliment. Now, just as ivory has degraded in social standing (the whole death of elephants thing), so too has the Ivory Tower’s star fallen (the whole death of logic, common sense, morality and actual education thing). This morning, I posted about UC Berkeley’s buffoonish
Continue readingIs there a cause and effect between hate speech and violence? These tweeters are certain there is, and they believe that Palin should be tortured, given loathsome diseases and killed for having the temerity to engage in (unidentified) hate speech: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxgJKNpjSNI[/youtube] Hat tip: The Jawa Report
Continue readingIf you haven’t already seen it, here’s a link to the video of Sarah Palin’s response to the shootings — the actual bullets aimed at real bodies in Tucson, and the rhetorical bullets aimed at political bodies in Tucson’s wake. The beginning, with it’s platitudes about “the process of healing”
Continue reading“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” – President Barack Hussein Obama I posted this as a comment to Book’s previous post, but have now posted it independently as a challenge to all of us Bookworm salon aficionados. Here’s the premise: virtually all the political violence
Continue readingIsrael has no greater friend than Sarah Palin. She has shown repeatedly that she has a deep and abiding respect for the Jewish state, and that she understands the existential stresses under which it survives. Benyamin Korn gets this and, despite incredible derision from Jewish Democrats, has begun working to
