Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s Hillary announcing her desire to use government force to steal (there’s no other word for it) oil company profits: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1PfE9K8j0g] And in Zimbabwe, we can see what what happens when Hillary’s mindset — that government should take over the market — becomes the only game in town: Robert G.
Continue readingI’m still reading Melanie Phillips’ Londonistan, an extremely well-written book about a most depressing subject — the Islamic push to take over Britain, all aided by the British ruling classes. Reading it also reminds my that my sojourn in England managed to miss this whole political and social movement, which
Continue readingI’ve always loved Leon Uris’ epic Exodus, a novel that is ostensibly about the founding of the State of Israel, but that also manages to blend in the pogroms in Russia, the Holocaust, and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, all of which are necessary preconditions to understanding Zionism; anti-Semitism;
Continue readingThe Left (both at home and abroad) likes to revile the infamous American President “Chimpy-BusHitler,” but they seem to be taking a pass on some people that even the Left would have to concede have a bit more blood on their hands. Mike Adams and the American Thinker take on
Continue readingI missed it a year ago, but Mark Steyn has republished a year old article he wrote about the renaissance of anti-Semitism: But all the hoo-ha about Holocaust denial (and granted, from President Ahmadinejad to Mel Gibson’s dad, there’s a lot of it about) has obscured the fact that the
Continue readingIf you’ve been thinking that I haven’t been blogging very vigorously the last couple of days, you’re right. I’ve had a big work project, that started out grim and got rather interesting, and I’ve been getting ready for a trip. I’ll probably blog during the trip, so I’m not signing
Continue readingI used to admire the BBC. It’s role during WWII was stellar. In the 1960s, it brought us Monty Python and other cutting edge, very silly comedies. In the 1970s, it began making a series of marvelous historic dramas, many of which still represent the finest viewing TV has offered.
Continue readingNeo-neocon is an elegant writer, so I like her summary of the theater in which the Democrats engaged last night when they called for a slumber party to dramatize their desire to withdraw from the Iraq War immediately. I left a comment at her blog, which I like enough that
Continue readingI’ve never liked the idea of John McCain as a presidential candidate. He’s a little too iconoclastic for my tastes and, as with so many senators in the run for President, he has way too much baggage trailing behind him and too little administrative experience. Another reason I don’t want
Continue readingDrudge gives appropriate prominence to a report that the military caught one of the top guys of Al Qaeda (“which doesn’t exist”) in Iraq: The U.S. command said Wednesday the highest-ranking Iraqi in the leadership of al-Qaida in Iraq has been arrested, adding that information from him indicates the group’s
Continue readingLondon, one of the greatest cities in the world for the last 1,000 years or so, continues to slide down, down, down. If you’re unlucky enough to live in the wrong section of London, this is what it’s like to do business: A corner shop run by an Asian couple
Continue readingCan anyone explain to me why Britain is taking such a hard line with regard to Russia right now, while it’s taking the weakest approach possible in the face of rising and real Islamist violence?
Continue readingThe press is full of stories today about Olmert’s deal with Fatah to free hundreds of Palestinians currently in Israeli prisons. During all these maneuverings, no mention is made of the three Israelis held prisoner for over a year — Gilad Shalit, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. The UN is
Continue readingToday, the first day of Spring Break, has been a rather chaotic one for me, as I’ve had shifting plans regarding the children and, all the while, two legal deadlines to meet. As I always say, you know it’s going to be a bad day when you wake up at
Continue readingFrom Mark Steyn: Tony Blair was at pains to point out that the hostages were released ”without any deal, without any negotiation, without any side agreement of any nature.” But he’s missing (or artfully sidestepping) the point: Tehran didn’t want a deal. It wanted the humbling of the Great Satan’s
