Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Sometimes, you open a web page, and find the most interesting things. Today, I found slightly heartening (the first two stories) and definitely heart warming (the last story) three of the stories at YNet news, as of 8:13 PST (some of the others were less than thrilling). Briefly: Arabs are

Then, because I also knew it would be important to read, as well as lucidly written, thought-provoking, intelligent, and informative, I got over my childish reluctance and read part two in Richard Baehr’s three part expose about the
Continue readingAll the early reports of the riots at Paris’ Gare de Nord train station — and most of the subsequent ones, as well — have referred to those ubiquitous “youths” as the troublemakers. (And if you’ve ever seen the movie “My Cousin Vinny,” every time you hear the word “youths,”

The city’s Board of Supervisors approved groundbreaking legislation Tuesday to outlaw plastic checkout bags at large supermarkets in about six months and large chain pharmacies in about a year.

If you live in the West, that ingenuity is used to discover new vaccines, maximize crop harvests, invent computers, make beautiful communities, etc. If you live in the world of radical Islam, that ingenuity is used

Speaking of Hillary, I heard a woman today telling Michael Medved that, while she is a Republican, she’ll vote for Hillary because she wants
