Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My blog slogan is “Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.” In a scathing article at PJM, Jennifer Rubin details one area after another in which the Obama administration announces a conclusion, markets it as a fact, and spends all of the
Continue readingA few days ago, I quoted from some representatives saying that those attending town halls are an ill-informed mob that must be ignored. The editors at National Review nicely sum up the Democratic party attitude and its profoundly anti-democratic meaning (links omitted): President Obama likes to pose as the tribune
Continue readingWith his typical clarity, Karl Rove explains that it is impossible for President Obama to stick to his “no new taxes” promises if he continues on this ruinous path of government spending: The campaign team is intent upon protecting a pledge driven by its 2008 campaign polls: Mr. Obama promised
Continue readingI finally figured out what the “Obama in whiteface is racist” charge made me think of: The Sarah Silverman Program Makeup Artist www.comedycentral.com Joke of the Day Stand-Up Comedy Free Online Games Claiming that Sarah Silverman’s ridiculous attempt at blackface was racist is as foolish as complaining that Obama’s remake
Continue readingYou’ve already read that the Big O (an increasingly empty hole if there ever was one) is now set to give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, the Irish woman who has cheerfully led the UN into ever deeper antisemitic, anti-American depravity. Jennifer Rubin sums up beautifully the
Continue readingAt first, only people in L.A. saw it. Now we’ve all seen it: Predictably, liberals are already crying “racism.” As for me, maybe I’m just out of touch with pop culture, but the Joker character never ranked up there in my mind with Uncle Tom or Sambo or any other
Continue readingOn July 31, right after Beergate, the White House posted official photos of the event. Thomas Lifson, of American Thinker, saw one and was immediately struck by it. Here’s the photo: You see what I see: the cop who was flung into unwanted prominence because an esteemed professor and the
Continue readingIs it a coincidence that, as the birther issue reaches an ever larger audience, a purported Kenyan birth certificate, complete with raised seal, suddenly pops up? My suspicion is that the birth certificate is about as reliable as those emails I routinely receive from Nigeria, assuring me that, if I
Continue readingOne thing I have to give credit to Barack Obama for being is a complete pragmatist, even if that pragmatism operates to the exclusion of moral decency. Witness his decision to jettison Israel entirely (something Elliott Abrams explains carefully here) in order to placate the Muslim world. Many think that
Continue readingYou’d think that Obama and Richard Nixon have nothing in common — but you’d be wrong. They both were whining self-pitiers who couldn’t stand the attacks that are entirely normative in a democratic political process. You can read here about Obama’s inability to take any criticism whatsoever, and the following
Continue readingJames Lewis nails what’s driving the Birther issue, and gives a very good reason why we should abandon the birth certificate, but nevertheless focus on the other records: The birth debate about Obama is real enough, but it is legally complicated, as analyzed by legal beagle Andrew McCarthy at National
Continue readingHere’s a guy who was thrust, quite unexpectedly and in a very painful way, into the national limelight. Throughout, he’s comported himself with completely dignity, something that continues to be clear in this post-beer statement and Q&A session: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Continue readingI would have thought the earth would reverse its rotation before I’d find common ground with Andrew Sullivan. Apparently nothing so extreme had to happen. All Sullivan had to do was advocate precisely the same point I’ve been making forever which is that Obama needs to stop being so secretive.
Continue readingMichelle Malkin has a great take-down of a NYT week end magazine article about Valerie Jarrett, pointing out all of the things the Times conveniently omitted from the its glowing review of this important behind-the-scenes player in the Obama White House. I actually saw the same story on-line last week
Continue readingClarice Feldman compiles a damning list of Obama’s idiocies. The media will ignore them and the public will use denial to explain them away, but we can still appreciate that the man is a cultural buffoon at every level. (We can also be worried about that same fact, but sometimes
