Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Yesterday, I put up an image that tied together the significant differences between Obama’s response to a direct attack on America and Americans in Libya, versus a mass civilian murder in a country that’s already killed more than 100,000 of its, and created millions of refugees. I think its worth
Continue readingSunny has her own ideas about Syria’s sudden prominence. I don’t know whether I agree with her, but I like her video. And of course, even if she’s correct, Syria has taken on a life of its own.
Continue readingDefending what is good about your country is racist. So is describing Islam and its cultural and political practices. Regarding Islam, let me be clear that this is not the same as the antisemites making things up about Jews, as they have since time immemorial. Instead, what we know about
Continue readingI opened Drudge Report this morning and saw two disturbing things: Tehran plans attack on U.S. embassy in Baghdad… and PUTIN: Russia Will Help Syria If USA Attacks… Orders Pentagon to expand target list… ‘SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN EXPECTED’… Actually, I saw a lot of disturbing things on Drudge, but those
Continue readingTonight marks the first night of Rosh Hashanna, the Jewish New Year. More specifically, tonight is the 5,774th year that Jews have honored this particular holiday. It is, so far as I know, the oldest continuously operating calendar in the world. Tonight also marks a Jewish New Year that sees
Continue readingI’m too young to remember the Cuban missile crisis. I do know, though, that for several days Americans thought that the stare-down between Kennedy and Khrushchev would end in nuclear war. Those were very scary times. In the end, Khrushchev blinked. Subsequent revelations about the Kennedy White House have revealed
Continue readingThe big surprise to me about this one was that an arch-Liberal friend of mine posted it. I doubt she spotted the ultimate irony, which is that Detroit is a purely Democrat fail:
Continue readingBear with me here hear, because I’m doing the blogging equivalent of thinking aloud. I was at the post office today in my friendly little Marin town. Unlike the rest of Marin the postal workers are not friendly. They’re not actively rude, but they are surly. Also, as always, the
Continue readingAs you’ve gathered, I do not support President Obama’s promised “show” strike against Syria to protest the Assad regime’s alleged use of toxic nerve gas against a community that presumably supported the al Qaeda rebels. To justify my position, I’ve pointed to the fact that there is no benefit to
Continue readingDid you know that the military has it’s own version of the inimitable Onion? For those unfamiliar with the Onion, it is a brilliant satire site — and frankly, in today’s world, it’s very hard to maintain satire when the reality in which we live is so ridiculous and bizarre.
Continue readingKeith Koffler has been around Washington, D.C., for a very long time, and he has a theory about Congress’s remarkable silence regarding both events in Syria and Obama’s huffery and puffery regarding events in Syria. Let me just say that his theory is not pretty. Indeed, it’s disgusting, and embarrassing,
Continue readingNobody says it better: I see the Obama “reset” is going so swimmingly that the president is now threatening to go to war against a dictator who gassed his own people. Don’t worry, this isn’t anything like the dictator who gassed his own people that the discredited warmonger Bush spent
Continue readingLast year, Obama and his acolytes were boasting about his “lead from behind” approach, one that saw him place America (and her interests) behind a UN-led line when it came to the Arab Spring. At the time, people at home and abroad wished that America, which still had something of
Continue readingA friend and I have been corresponding about Obama’s statement that tomorrow we will strike meaningless buildings in Syria to “punish” Assad for using nerve gas on his own people. We agreed that we agree. FWIW, were’s what I wrote to him: I am unnervingly reminded of the events leading
Continue readingMy long-time internet friend Steve Schippert (USMC, Ret.), who has an intelligence background, has weighed in on Syria. I feel quite flattered, considering his knowledge and expertise, that he feels as I do: In Syria, the most brutish forces are battling it out amongst each other in a civil war
