Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It 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 readingThere’ve been accusations and counter-accusations flying about Obama fiddling while Afghanistan burns. Cheney accuses him of being a do-nothing. Gibb claims Bush did nothing. Jake Tapper looked into the matter and discovered that, while Iraq was a priority, Bush indeed did little with troop requests, struggling to fill them, but
Continue readingEarlier this week, I wrote about my doubts regarding the administration’s sudden announcement about a spy for Israel. I should have read the articles more carefully. It turns out that a sting found someone who was willing to spy for Israel. Israel had nothing to do with it. I’m still
Continue readingIn Best of the Web Today, James Taranto politely savages Barack Obama’s absentee leadership as American troops live and die in the line of Taliban fire: “The United States cannot wait for problems surrounding the legitimacy of the Afghan government to be resolved before making a decision on troops, U.S.
Continue readingMaybe it’s true, but given this administration’s active, and often false, demonization of those on its enemies list (Rush, Fox, the Chamber of Commerce, Insurers, Doctors), I find very disturbing this headline from BNO News: Authorities charge former Department of Energy, Defense and NASA worker with attempted espionage for Israel.

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 readingI blogged last week about Bravo Troop 361 Cavalry, the unit that was overrun by a horde of Taliban, and whose members stayed to fight despite their wounds. As with all these stories, there’s a back story too, and the back story is that the guys in that fight didn’t
Continue readingAs usual, the gal’s nailed it: One almost gets the sense that the Obama team may have not learned anything from our recent experiences in two war theaters. It is not as if Donald Rumsfeld and a slew of generals didn’t try in Iraq to use the fewest possible troops, spend
Continue readingIt was like a battle scene in an old Hollywood movie, when Americans still knew in their arts that American soldiers are ordinary Americans — good people — only braver and more honorable: Fighting raged at two remote U.S. outpostsnear the Pakistan border this weekend, that left eight U.S. soldiers
