Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
(This is another Mr. Conservative post that perfectly reflects my views on the subject. If you’d like to join the Special Operations Speaks’ petition, you can find it here.) For the past several months, the administration has worked hard to keep the public focused on gun control and gay marriage,
Continue readingMuch has been made of Obama’s statement that the gun rights crowd should stop worrying, because Obama contends that he is “constrained” by the system the Founders put in place. If you don’t read his actual words with great care, it sounds as if he’s saying he’s contractually constrained —
Continue readingAnd another post that’s pure me, only it showed up at Mr. Conservative first: It shouldn’t have been complicated – if you’re responsible for the president’s huge, hi-tech, armor-plated, gas guzzling limo, and if that car is taking a trip overseas with the president, you make sure that everyone knows
Continue readingIt turns out that, when Dr. Ben Carson gently chided President Obama’s policies during the National Prayer Breakfast, he was holding back. When he gave a speech CPAC, where he could freely speak his mind, Dr. Carson was more direct: If a hypothetical “somebody” in the White House “wanted to
Continue readingMy theory about people who put down other people is that they’re deeply insecure. They think they can build themselves up by putting other people down. As I was saying to a friend in another context, when I walk into a room, I’m reasonably sure I’m one of the smartest
Continue readingI re-posted the image I put up earlier, because it’s a perfect companion-piece to this Charles C.W. Cooke article: We are now firmly ensconced in the brutal Age of the Sequester, and things in America are grave. The federal government, we learned on Wednesday, is so strapped for cash that
Continue readingAs you look at this picture, please keep in mind that President Obama is a temporary guest in the White House, living their only because of the American people’s largesse. He is not a monarch whose family owns the White House. He is a tenant. Sadly, slightly more than 50%
Continue readingIt’s been more than a month since military hero Chris Kyle died, and President Obama has yet to say a word about Kyle and his service to our country. It’s been two days since Venezuelan Hugo Chavez died, and the President has already made arrangements to send a three-man delegation

Continue readingIn the lead-up to the 2008 election, blogging was exciting because there was hope. Not the synthetic hope Obama was selling, but the real hope that both Hillary and Obama would lose, and that John McCain would be a half decent president. In the first two years of Obama’s administration,
Continue readingObama is proving to be quite the chess player (especially because he’s got the media to help him cheat . . . er, play the game). Meanwhile, Republicans are still trying to figure out the intricacies of Chutes and Ladders. Obama is also showing his Chicago-political roots. Woodward, moving very
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I railed against the fact that conservatives, despite good ideas, good history, and good spokes people, get absolutely no traction. Jonathan Tobin, in his post “The Rules Are Different For Obama,” gets to the heart of the matter, which is that the toxic amalgam of Obama
Continue readingI did something very nice yesterday: I attended a luncheon at which Victor Davis Hanson spoke. I’ve read his work for years, and knew that I would be in the presence of an intellectual giant. Hanson is an expert in both Classic and military history (not to mention Classic military
Continue readingI can’t make myself listen to Obama. He hectors and I don’t need that in my life. I’ll read the speech, and the multiple analyses of the speech, tomorrow. Until then, I’d love to hear what you have to say about it — or what you have to say about
Continue readingKeep in mind as you look at this poster that Obama is the military’s Commander in Chief. This means that, in theory, although clearly not in fact, Chris Kyle was one of Obama’s own: Incidentally, I don’t reprint this poster to denigrate Houston’s tragedy (which was drug addiction), but merely
