Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Trump is an unpleasant mixture of bullying, bombast, and boasting. I don’t like his style. But to those who are worried about his authoritarian streak, I’d like to point out that there’s only one candidate on the presidential ballot who has called for weakening both the First and Second Amendments —
Continue readingBush didn’t, Obama wouldn’t, but the next president should: Call into the Oval Office the leaders of Muslim communities throughout America to say, “Because of the First Amendment, the fact that you and the people in your community practice Islam is irrelevant to us in America. Your faith is your
Continue readingMy day is not proceeding as planned. Grumble, grumble, grumble. But I still found some good stuff out there: For all the criticism aimed at him for daring to defend his nation from nuclear annihilation, Netanyahu successfully shifted the paradigm — not far enough, but it’s movement in the right
Continue readingThe repulsive Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson made news yesterday by putting out a fundraising letter that likens the Tea Party to the KKK (which, during its heyday, was an entirely Democrat organization): Today, in a very timely way, Caped Crusader sent me the first sensible gun-control proposal I’ve seen, when
Continue readingSince I passed the age of 10, and my infatuation with big eyed children and other cutsie things waned, I don’t believe I’ve ever bought a Hallmark card. Note my use of the word “cutsie.” I like cute things (witness my endless infatuation with my dog), but cutsie = cute
Continue readingI’m going back and forth whether Roberts was a typical judge (i.e., stupid and unworthy of respect), a brilliant thinker, a chess player, a pawn, etc. Each of you who has commented here has made an excellent point. I agree with all of you, even when you disagree with each
Continue readingI was driving along in the car and, suddenly, the phrase “Roe v. Wade” popped into my head. In 1973, the Supreme Court waded into what should have been a state-by-state legislative matter, and created the most vicious 39 year fight in America since the Civil War. One side found
Continue readingThe Supreme Court opinion on ObamaCare runs to 193 pages. It is the size of a book, only more boring than any book anyone would ever want to read — and that is true despite the fact that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the worst writer on the court, didn’t write it.
Continue readingWhen Obama came to San Francisco, two of my favorite photo-essayists attended the street protests, which marked the rare coming together (sort of) of Tea Partiers and OWSers, all of whom are discontented with Obama. Here’s Zombie. And here’s Fund47. I’d add more but anything I say would be redundant,
Continue readingOver the years, I’ve written more than 10,000 posts. (Yeah, that’s a scary thought, isn’t it.) They do tend to run together in my mind, but there are a few standouts. These are the posts in which I felt that I offered an insight or analysis that is genuinely helpful
Continue readingFact: The Tea Party, when it held three protests in the City of Richmond, applied for permits, and paid $10,000 for permits, potties, police, etc. Fact: The OWS protesters in Richmond simply plunked themselves down, paying nothing (and, I’m guessing, incurring significantly greater police and janitorial charges than did the
Continue readingUp until recently, the Tea Party might just as well have been called the DevilNaziEvilRacistUgly Party as far as the Progressives and their ilk were concerned. In retrospect, calling participants “Tea Baggers” was one of the nicer things the Left said. Barack Obama did nothing to stop this concerted attack
