Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This post poses a very provocative, even inflammatory, question: “Is the mainstream media the spiritual heir of Charles Manson?” Will you be too surprised if I answer “yes”? Let’s start with Charles Manson. Manson had a goal: he envisioned a new world order, with himself and his followers as the
Continue readingThe clown kerfuffle — a rodeo clown dons a presidential mask available at any Halloween costume store and is instantly transformed into a fiery member if the KKK — has helped clarify something about the Left’s response to any non-Democrat generated references to Obama. I found this clarification in yesterday’s
Continue readingThis will published at Mr. Conservative soon. You, my friends, get a preview of coming attractions: You remember the famous picture of Obama sitting tensely in a corner watching the real-time coverage of the Navy SEALS’ raid on the Osama bin Laden compound? Heck, you must have been visiting relatives

Continue readingFellow Watcher’s Council member Michael Haltman has assembled a glorious collection of pithy posters challenging Obama and his America. You can see them here and here.
Continue readingThat headline is not a lie. The greatest orator since Abraham Lincoln had a serious policy discussion with . . . wait for it . . . Jay Leno. During that serious, I mean really serious, talk, Obama explicitly stated that it was unfortunate that Americans were less likely to
Continue readingSometimes distance provides perspective. My travels meant that, rather than being enveloped by news as I usually am, I read it only intermittently, and often through the New York Times’ filter, since that was the only news to which I had access for many days at a time. The few
Continue readingAs you’ve probably realized, I have very limited access to news and the Internet on this vacation. My shipboard Internet plan gives me about five (very expensive) minutes a day, which is just enough to make sure I don’t have any emergencies in my inbox, to write to my family,
Continue readingWe’re slowly moving out of Stockholm, and I have to admit that I won’t be sad to see it go. For reasons I can’t quite explain, it didn’t work for me. It’s definitely beautiful, but, but. . . . But I don’t know what. I just didn’t like it. The

Continue readingI finally got around to watching Zero Dark Thirty, the film about the decade-long hunt for bin Laden. Before it came out, conservatives were concerned because the White House gave the filmmakers unprecedented access to information about the hunt and about the actual hit on bin Laden. This opened up
Continue readingI freely admit that I will never be as brilliant as Thomas Sowell, either in my analytical abilities or in my writing quality. That doesn’t mean, though, that I can’t borrow his technique of writing the occasional post that consists of one or two sentence thoughts about interesting subjects. So,
Continue readingMuch is being made of Obama’s speech in Ireland, in which he managed to insult parochial education. Catholics seem most disturbed, perhaps because (a) most parochial schools in America are Catholic and (b) Obama has been at war with the Catholic church by trying to make churches pay for abortifacients
Continue readingI was heartened today to see that President Obama’s approval rate has dropped significantly. That’s not just because I think Obama has been a lousy president, destroying the economy at home and substantially interfering with our relations and security abroad. It’s also because it’s a healthy sign that Obama’s approval
