Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m not sure why Canada, except for maybe the large Muslim population, the porous border, and the country’s politically correct inertia: Iran is attempting to acquire clandestine shipments via Canada for its nuclear program, a senior customs official said Thursday. Canadian customs officers have seized everything from centrifuge parts to
Continue readingOkay, maybe I’m overreacting, but WHAT THE HELL IS THE EMPIRE STATE DOING HONORING A BRUTAL REGIME THAT KILLED TENS OF MILLIONS OF ITS OWN CITIZENS, THAT STILL PUNISHES SPEECH WITH TORTURE AND DEATH, THAT USES SLAVE LABOR, AND THAT SEES ITS POLITICAL PRISONERS AS ORGAN DONOR MACHINES? Just asking.
Continue readingWhen Bush was in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan was the good war and Iraq was Vietnam. Now that Bush is gone, and Iraq is holding stable (for the time being at least), the liberals can give over their pretense about the possibility of a good war and, instead, given
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’ve long been a Netanyahu fan — going back to the 1970s. He is a brilliant man, a strong executive, an effective communicator, and, as he showed at the UN, he has a moral compass. Obama could take lessons: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44HkjBDQz_k[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofIwsB7xDm8[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gkjEUjK4as[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPEdIWa5H9k[/youtube]
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 readingYes, they have guns, and yes, they come from an apocalyptic culture that believes it would be a good thing to see the world enveloped in flames. But otherwise, these Iranian soldiers look pretty damn silly: Of course, it’s probably good camo if you’re trying to infiltrate this: Otherwise, it’s
Continue reading[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxi2IILt8sk[/youtube] My belief, getting stronger by the minute, is that Obama’s sole Afghanistan policy was to be the un-Bush. Bush’s critics claimed Iraq was the bad war and Afghanistan the good war. So Obama immediately stated that he’d focus on Afghanistan. Obama, though, true Leftist that he is, and with
Continue readingThe American and world media go into a screaming frenzy whenever American or Israeli troops injure or kill a child. They do this despite the fact that such incidents are rare and, more significantly, they are aberrant: both the American and the Israeli military go out of their way to
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 readingObama’s foolish decision to pick a trade war with China has larger implications about his governing style, as Jennifer Rubin explains: [D]omestic political considerations and the good opinion of his base are more important to Obama than just about any other concern. That seems to be the motivating factor in a
