Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If you go to this post, you’ll find a link to a slideshow that LGF’s Charles Johnson put together using photographs that someone took of the 35,000 person strong rally outside of the UN to support Israel. I just have a couple of comments. First, I wanted to note the

Continue readingFrom Jonah Goldberg’s latest: The best book for illuminating what’s going on in the Muslim “street” isn’t some weighty treatise on Islam; it’s a short little tract called “White Guilt” by Shelby Steele. The book isn’t even about Islam. Steele focuses on white liberals and the black radicals who’ve been
Continue readingOne of the great things about Times Select, which represents the NY Times’ decision to charge for popular columnists, is that I no longer feel this masochist need to read Paul Krugman’s columns. When they were available for free, I always felt it was incumbent upon me to see what
Continue readingWhile the MSM has been castigating the Pope for his heavy-handed ignorance in daring to criticize Islam, more sophisticated theorists are noting that the Pope is no fool. He meant to say what he did, and he did it very skillfully. At least, that’s what the analysts at Stratfor who,
Continue readingHere is one truly amazing story: Those who knew San Francisco’s Elfriede Rinkel never found it remarkable that the German immigrant would marry a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, or attend synagogue with him, or plan to be buried next to him at a cemetery run by a Chevra Kadisha,
Continue readingA week or so ago, Laer posted fairly lightheartedly about a Sudanese man and his goat, and I sent you over there (along with a bad joke). The same bestiality issue in that story appears in a more serious vein, with someone losing a job for stating a fact, which
Continue readingI don’t know what they’re doing in public school, but it’s not teaching. Every single bit of homework my children bring home means a minimum of an hour’s worth of homeschooling for me. They know nothing and they’re not being taught anything. Grumble, gripe, grrrrrrr! I’m pretty damn sure my

Continue readingJonah Goldberg has a great point today, and one I think I touched upon about a year ago: it wouldn’t be a desperately bad thing if the Democrats were to win the House in 2006. I don’t think Americans, ultimately, will be that thrilled with Democratic rule, and it will
Continue readingSometimes a person will open a fascinating little window into his thinking, and you’ll find yourself looking into an ugly, illogical world that the person completely denies exists. This time, that person is Howard Zinn, well-known as one of the best-selling, most-taught, anti-American authors in the market right now. A

Continue readingMy mother is very excited. A man in Australia has put together a whole website devoted to, Tjideng, one of the camps in which she was interned. What especially thrills her is the camp roster, which has so many familiar names, each one with a complex memory attached. Mom always
