Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You need to read the whole article, but I was especially struck by this point: Of course, the critics look right because we hardly seem to be winning the war in Iraq. But even here the critics are too smug. We have not won the war in Iraq because of
Continue readingThe elections and the world news have let me a bit down lately. For example, Richard Baehr, a brilliant political analyst, sees a major war coming in the Middle East. The implications are Apocalyptic. I need a pick-me-up — and what better to do that than Fred Astaire? I was
Continue readingThe Democrats have turned their sights on John Bolton, the only sane voice in the UN. If you want to attempt to stem this tide, here’s a website with ideas for helping out. If you want some background about (a) how utterly degraded, debased and anti-Semitic the UN is and
Continue readingA Vatican cardinal has weighed in on the fence the US is proposing to build between the US and Mexican border, calling it “inhuman,” and comparing it to the Berlin Wall. The Catholic Church is in deep trouble if its spokesmen are unable to recognize the difference between a fence
Continue readingRather gloatingly, Hillary has indicated that healthcare reform is back on the table. I’m familiar with the problems of the uninsured, I know about the benefits of and problems with Medicare, I know about skyrocketing drug prices, etc. I can confidently argue both sides of each issue, since each side
Continue readingBritain’s Anglican Church seems to be waking up, not just to the terrorists within England’s borders, but to the fifth column as well. Thus, the second most senior Anglican in England has launched a full frontal, no holds barred attack against the BBC for being (a) anti-Christian and (b) afraid
Continue readingAs you may recall, I did a post on the way Sacha Cohen (as Borat), rather than exposing truly dangerous anti-Semitism, may be showing anti-Semites a way to get their feelings out into the open without fear of criticism or analysis. Aside from agreeing with my post, many of my
Continue readingJonah Goldberg reviews Andrew Sullivan’s new book here. I got an great giggle out of the following paragraph, especially since I’ve seen, both in his writing and during interviews, that Sullivan is fairly ignorant about American Constitutionalism: One of the things that lent panache to Sullivan’s writings is that he
Continue readingI posted the other day about an identity politics problem in Israel: an American Palestinian showed up in Israel for the gay pride parade, only to find himself and his friends on the receiving end of a violent beating from Muslim religious authorities. Surprisingly, the gay American Palestinian was surprised.
Continue readingI admit that it’s not fair to pick on Elton John. Although he is a truly talented musician, I don’t think anyone has ever accused him of being a deep thinker or a well-informed man. Nevertheless, something he said a few days ago caught my eye, because I think it
Continue readingThe Simpsons stopped being funny about a decade ago, so it’s no hardship to boycott the show. Even if it were screamingly funny, though, I’d still boycott it based on last night’s episode. I’d heard vague rumors about the episode — “The Simpsons takes on the Iraq War” — and
Continue readingThe Left likes underdogs. Gays are underdogs. Palestinians are underdogs. Muslims are underdogs. What happens when you throw all three into the mix? This: A group of gay Palestinian Americans canceled a planned pride march in East Jerusalem on Friday after one of them was beaten unconscious by a local

Continue readingGerry Charlotte Phelps nicely explains why out of control spending benefits Democrats and not Republicans. Again, the Republicans need to take these lessons home and learn from them very, very quickly. FacebookTweet
Continue readingI’ve been hearing a lot of analyses about the recent Republican failure being due to a “culture of corruption” amongst Republicans. That’s horse puckey that’s being sold by the MSM. The Dems are equally corrupt (for goodness sake, land grabber Harry Reid is now the leading Democratic Senator), so corruption
