Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When you think about it, with the exception of the first one, Obama could have used each one of them: Putin poster: Obama reality: There is no Obama reality for this one. He’s the mirror image of Putin, giving up on America and her allies. Putin poster: Obama reality: Putin
Continue readingThoughtful Jews are increasingly thinking one thought: the notion of a two-state solution is ridiculous. Moshe Philips and Benyamin Korn explain why it’s ridiculous. And in a superior interview on the Glenn Beck show, Caroline Glick offers a single-state alternative. *** When I was on vacation a few years ago,
Continue readingI have learned something about myself over the past 5.5 weeks: I will never master crutches. After all this time, I still fall going up the stairs, get vertigo going down the stairs, topple over when trying to reach light switches, get abrasions on my skin, and exhaust my injured
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 readingWilliam Kristol has a good summary about Obama’s inertia in the face of world chaos. I disagree, however, with the language I’ve emphasized: In late 1979, with the seizure of American hostages by Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, President Jimmy Carter was mugged by reality. Carter then tried,

Continue readingAs I was driving home from the swimming pool today, I heard that Russia’s representative was refusing to accede to John Kerry’s request that the Russians sit down for face-to-face negotiations with the Ukrainians. My first thought was that the report was way too polite. Kerry’s not requesting, he’s begging.

Continue readingMano a mano, I’d bet on Netanyahu against Obama every time. Nation to nation, though, Bibi has the misfortune to be facing off against a spoiled, Leftist, anti-Israel, pot-smoking adolescent who nevertheless controls the world’s greatest military and economic power. I’m still betting on the Israelis, but it’s not a
Continue readingFrom the time he hit the campaign trail in 2007, Barack Obama made it plain that he considered America to be too big for her britches when it comes to international matters. Looking at imperfect nations, you could see him mentally scolding America — “Haven’t you done enough already?” —
Continue readingI’ve always thought of myself as someone who’s cool about gays. For many years, I could honestly say that many of my good friends, and some of my best friends, were gay. I didn’t appreciate their lifestyle excesses (especially because I lost a lot of friends to AIDS because of

This disconnect from reality and this utterly classless ostentation also explain Obama’s delightful “middle class” dinner for the socialist French president: American osetra caviar “farmed from the estuaries of Illinois” Pennsylvania quail eggs and a
