Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ms. Book W. Room, writing under the nom de guerre of Andrea Widburg, is employed by the conservative site, American Thinker, to edit submissions to the site and to write several daily posts of her own. Below are her posts on this date. Since commentary to the posts is restricted
Continue readingDerryck Green, of Project 21, makes a point that all of us here already know, which is that conservatives treat members of other races like human beings, while Leftists (no matter whether they call themselves liberals or Democrats or Progressives) treat them like slightly stupid children who can be bribed
Continue readingNot to boast — okay, never mind, I’m boasting — but the reason I didn’t write more this afternoon was that I met up in the City with Neo Neocon. It was, I must say, a delightful way to spend an afternoon. Neo is, as you would expect, thoughtful, informed,
Continue readingI’ve ranted here before about the fact that, when discussing the Left’s insistence that government should be able to give the Pill to young girls, no one mentions how dangerous hormone-based birth control devices are. It seems, though, that people are finally waking up to the fact that there’s a
Continue readingJustice Sotomayor came to San Francisco and inadvertently made the case that affirmative action terribly unfair — and, moreover, that people are right if they believe, not that it gives qualified minorities a chance, but that it handicaps non-minorities at the expense of any minorities, qualified or not. Let me
Continue readingA few days ago, I posited that Obama might have come up with the faux Kenyan identity because, in 1979, when he was graduating from high school, the Supreme Court’s 1978 decision Regents of the University of California v. Bakke had done away with affirmative action. (Universities eventually developed workarounds,
Continue readingBarack Obama has kept carefully hidden all of his college records. Many of us have assumed that this secrecy is because those papers show that he took nothing but Leftist Mickey Mouse classes and ended up with lousy grades. Now that we know that Obama marketed himself to publishers as
Continue readingJerry Brown has nominated Teveia Barnes to be the new commissioner for California’s Department of Financial Institutions. This means that she is the ultimate regulatory authority for more than 300 California-chartered banks and other financial institutions. Barnes has an impressive resume, including a lengthy stint as associate general counsel and
Continue readingOne of the many blessings of our American military is that it’s a Constitutional military that has as its Commander in Chief a civilian elected by the American public. (Although history has shown, fairly recently in fact, that the American public sometimes elects bad CinCs.) Because the elected CinC is
Continue readingI just returned from seeing Disney’s latest release, The Princess and the Frog. Looked at purely from an entertainment standpoint, the movie is a delight. The hand drawn animation is imaginative and, at times, exquisitely beautiful. When the Bayou lights up at sunset with fireflies, every little girl in the
Continue readingWhen I was a very little girl, back in the hard drinking 1960s, an expression I frequently heard was that someone or something needed a bit of “the hair of the dog that bit you.” I used to think that actually meant people would consume dog hair to cure their
Continue readingJennifer Rubin has a very good post today about the reasons that the “smart” Obama may be struggling so mightily to be a good president. She offers three basic reasons that may explain Obama’s ineptitude, whether it touches economics, diplomacy, or national security: First, the punditocracy confused credentials with knowledge
Continue readingI remain absolutely convinced that Obama, the boy genius of the left, is a product of affirmative action who is hiding his academic record because it is dismal. If it weren’t dismal, he’d be showing it off. Frankly, though, after thirty years of affirmative action, we expected nothing more from
Continue readingThe National Science Foundation describes itself as follows: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…” With an annual budget of about $6.06 billion,
Continue readingFrom the teleprompter, that is. The guy’s oratorical skills decline rapidly without a script, don’t they? He makes Dan Quayle look like the prodigy of extemporaneous speaking. Clearly, this guy needs a little less blind adulation, and a little more time at Toastmasters. I have said all along that Obama
