Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I have been keeping abreast of the news, and I do know that there’s a cascade of information about Benghazi rolling out now. Yesterday I posted about Edward Klein’s claim that Hillary had tried to get security for Benghazi but that higher-ups (presumably in the White House) had simply ignored
Continue readingHave Liberals (including religious Liberals) lost their capacity to distinguish between Good and Evil?
Continue readingHow reliable is Edward Klein? I don’t know. I don’t believe anyone challenged the facts in his book The Amateur, even if they disagreed with their import. One thing that was immediately clear from reading The Amateur was that Klein got a lot of his information from Hillary Clinton’s camp.
Continue readingThe editor of a Jewish newspaper — let me repeat: a Jewish newspaper — has endorsed a Republican. Because we’re discussing Jews, it may be wrong to analogize this to pigs flying, but I guess it’s okay as long as we’re not eating those pigs for breakfast. I was at
Continue readingSometimes my liberal friends surprise me. Buried amongst the snarky, ill-informed pictures they routinely post, I’ll occasionally find something thoughtful and important. Very, very important — such as this short video explaining precisely why Iran poses such a threat, not just within the Middle East, but to the whole world,
Continue readingOne of the points Mitt raised in talking about trade with China is the fact that China cheats, not just be manipulating currency (which Mitt also mentioned) but also by failing to stop counterfeiting. (I’d be willing to bet that the government encourages counterfeiting, but I don’t have any proof
Continue readingSo, how would Crowley happened to have read and “memorized” that particular Rose Garden transcript in advance of the Town Hall debate unless she had been prepared in advance for a) the question and b) for Obama’s response?
Continue readingSheldon Adelson has said outright what many Jews do (or should) suspect: Obama doesn’t love Israel as much as he says he does. In a Jewish Journal post, Adelson does a good job assembling a damning list of facts, all of which indicate that, if Obama didn’t keep saying “Oooh,
Continue readingI my post yesterday about the truly loving care my mom gets in an old age run under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church, I said that I resent the Church’s attitude towards Israel, but that I can’t fault it with regard to its care for the elderly. With perfect
Continue readingA friend wrote to me quite appropriately outraged about the fact that Nancy Pelosi is saying that, if there was a security failure in Benghazi, blame belongs to the Republicans: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on CNN Tuesday attempted to shift the blame for the disastrous handling of the
Continue readingThere are two constituencies on which Democrats can always count: Jews and blacks. And Jews, unlike blacks, give lots of money to their favorite party and they get out and vote. For many Jews, being a Democrat is an integral part of their identity. Voting for a Republican is anathema.
Continue readingRadiolab is a show produced for a New York public radio station. That tells you everything you need to know about Radiolab’s political orientation. The other day, Radiolab broadcast a story about the Hmong (American allies during the Vietnam War), their suffering at Communist hands when the Americans pulled out,
Continue readingBack in 2004, when George Bush was president, Michael Moore compared al Qaeda terrorists to American Minutemen: The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not “insurgents” or “terrorists” or “The Enemy.” They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow — and they will win.
Continue reading[Update: I thought I’d managed to ooze so much sarcasm here that I didn’t need to establish first that I was being sarcastic. From comments I’ve received, I’ve learned that a failed in Writing 101, because I did not make my sarcasm t obvious enough. My apologies. I know that
Continue readingThe only problem I have with this video is the narrator’s voice. It grates on me. Otherwise, I think the video says things that need to be said, and I hope it gets lots of air play: And while we’re on the subject, the Washington Examiner, in its sterling multipart
