Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If there was ever an example of misguided compassion, this story out of Britain must rank at the top of the list: A psychopathic Satanist, given a ‘life means life’ sentence for strangling his cellmate whilst already serving life for murder, has had that cut to 20 years on appeal
Continue readingIt happened there and it can happen here. As for me, I’m stodgy, and like our national character just fine. I want a slow, controlled flow of immigrants to ensure that they adapt to our norms, and not we to theirs.
Continue readingI don’t think I need to offer much comment on this story, which is one more indictment of the danger of over-regulation that always follows in the wake of Big Government: Ambulance paramedics battling to save a nine-year-old car crash victim were told the nearest back-up crew could not help
Continue readingIn his latest opining about world events, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has certainly managed to assure that every one of his illustrious predecessors is rolling in his grave. Please recall that Williams is the same Church prelate who advanced Sharia law. He’s now calling for the end of
Continue readingThe only thing I’ll add to the my post title by way of commentary is that this is the America that Obama and the Democrats envision for you, since increased government control inevitably presages the rise of regulations that destroy initiative, innovation and courage: A jobsworth ambulance boss refused to
Continue readingAfter you’ve read this appalling article about Britain’s well-recognized drinking problem, two thoughts: First, it’s like a Bosch painting come to life. And second, if you were in England and appalled by what you saw, wouldn’t Islam, a religion that bans alcohol, start to look attractive?
Continue readingI have a bunch of open tabs on my monitor, so I’m just going to jumble all of the stuff here, in one post: On Obama, the UN, and the World: I noted yesterday that Obama seems to have a huge problem with the more democratic nations in the world,
Continue readingThe Queen and Prince Phillip were born in the 1920s. They are, I gather, inherently conservative people. While moving in the British upper classes has no doubt exposed them to a great many gays and lesbians (and I’m sure their manners allow them to take those interactions in stride), I’m
Continue readingI gave the post the above title because, in England, even a woman who is a convicted sexual predator gets to keep up her relationship with the victim: A public school music teacher was today jailed for lesbian sex with a 15-year-old pupil – but was given an astonishing green
Continue readingAll of us have been worried that the Obama Administration, working in tandem with a wildly Democratic Congress, wants to clamp down on freedom of speech. Heck, in true Orwellian fashion, the House of Representatives has already taken myriad terms off the table for fear that they might be used
Continue readingYesterday, while in San Francisco, I nearly got run over by a cyclist who ran a red light. There was nothing new about this, except that I was a more vulnerable than usual position, being on foot. Normally, I’m a driver, desperately trying to avoid bicyclists who run red lights,
Continue readingWe’re getting near the tail-end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that requires dawn to dusk fasting. Now, I’m a gal who enjoys noshing during the day, so I’m not thrilled about abstaining from food and drink for 10 hours. I’d be especially unhappy if it was a hot day,
Continue readingThere is no bliss inherent in the ignorance displayed by one judge in England: A judge lambasted a rapist for claiming his victim was a liar – then commended him for becoming a muslim. Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC sentenced Stuart Wood for seven years for the attack, then told him:
Continue readingBefore their cultural implosion, the English had a reputation for bravery and sangfroid. Although they are taking a beating in Afghanistan (in large part because the morally bankrupt Labour government refuses to give them necessary support), the troops on the ground are still fighting, dying and showing extraordinary bravery under
Continue readingOne could suspect that, not only does increased government spending not create morality, it may cause morality to decay at ever quickening speeds: British children are more likely to develop drink problems and fall pregnant despite billions of pounds spent by Labour on education and welfare, a leading economic think
