Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Okay, it’s not really an exclusive behind the scenes look, it’s just a great parody of the Washington Post’s craven decision, a week after happily insulting Christians, to refrain from seeing any Muslims get emotional. Hat tip: LGF FacebookTweet

Bottom line: people who give up on the Surge

Continue readingDoes it strike any of you as funny that a Presidential candidate, who is one of the richer men in America, and who just built himself a mansion that checks in at just under 30,000 square feet, is telling Americans to drive smaller cars? I’d be more agreeable to these
Continue readingIn response to my discussion of the “God’s Jewish Warriors” special, Oceanguy said he was quite disheartened that I could be taken in by the propaganda he saw in that show. His particular concern centered around the following statement by Ms. Amanpour, ““Intifada, in Arabic, it means ‘shaking off.’ And beginning

I haven’t thought at all in depth about what these conditions are alleged to be, so I won’t comment on them here. Instead, I
Continue readingHey, everyone. I wanted to let you know that you can stop calling Orkin now about CNN’s “God’s Warriors” series, since Orkin has been helpful, honest and responsive regarding this show. Here’s their representative’s latest missive: Just want to circle back to give the final update from Orkin. We had

It’s called Street Fight, and it follows the unsuccessful 2002 mayoral campaign political neophyte Cory Booker ran against long-time Newark, New Jersey incumbent Sharpe James. Both are Democrats and African Americans, with the former being a light skinned Rhodes Scholar, and the latter

At the end, Mr. Bookworm acknowledged that, of course, radical Islam is a threat, but that

Amanpour’s biases clearly showed through, especially when she tried to portray Muslim radicals as some kind of a small fringe group, or when she spoke to fundamentalist Christian leaders in a tone dripping with
Continue readingConfederate Yankee’s post about Scott Horton, the Harper’s columnist who claims (1) that neocon’s lie as much about the war as Scott Beauchamp did and (2) that the American military is exactly like the KGB, got me wondering who Scott Horton is. The Harper’s bio is brief and makes the

From the fact that he found some documents indicating that medieval men would enter into a formal contract to share bed, board and income, a “scholar” has extrapolated this into supporting the conclusion that the medieval world supported gay relationships: For example, he found legal
