Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
There is no sense of normalcy in the world for me when a committed old communist and a reality TV star are the leading contenders in America’s upcoming presidential election. My round-up addresses some of the craziness, as well as lots of other stuff. Debunking Ted Cruz myths. Like me,
Continue readingThe poster below isn’t just a good poster that makes an excellent point about the need to free the American economy from taxes and crony capitalism. What makes it really great is that a young relative of mine is the one who created it. I am so very lucky with my
Continue readingRepublican voters have a very stark choice facing them: Do they vote for the candidate who promises to resurrect American greatness through the power of his will, or do they vote for the candidate who promises to resurrect American greatness by recognizing the Constitution’s centrality in American governance? Maybe I’m being foolishly
Continue readingDuring his final (thank you God) State of the Union address, during his discussion about Islam, Obama had something to say about those who dare insult Islam: In a swipe at some Republican presidential candidates, he warned against “voices urging us to fall back into tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who
Continue readingYesterday, I got around to reading Michael Crowley’s ‘We Caved’ : What happened when Barack Obama’s idealistic rhetoric collided with the cold realities of war and dictatorship in the Middle East and beyond. I recommend it. It’s a depressing look at what happens when the Progressive Ivory Tower meets the
Continue readingI don’t know how this happened, but in just three days of collecting articles on my cyber-spindle, I’ve managed to gather together almost thirty solid links I want to share with you. No time for chat, therefore; instead, I’ll plunge straight into my fascinating “world gone mad” edition: If you
Continue readingBecause Obama’s gun control edicts have had conservatives crying foul about Obama’s habit of ignoring Congress, a lot of Leftists are recycling this poster from November 2014: The poster offends me. It’s not just out of date, it’s fraud by omission. I decided to correct these flaws:
Continue readingI am not exaggerating when I say that I have been in love (in a political way) with Elbert Guillory ever since I first saw him back in mid-2013, when he was still ostensibly a Democrat. That feeling has never changed and, indeed, my deep and abiding respect for his
Continue readingThe Progressives on my Facebook feed are in a delighted tizzy. Obama actually cried — he cried! — when he spoke of his new unilaterally enacted gun control edicts limiting law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights. I quote: “Bravo, Mr. President! Thank you so much for your leadership, your clear-headed thinking
Continue readingAre you familiar with speed chess? I learned about it when I was at Cal. Since I worked at the Bancroft Library, I had access to an employee break room. Every day at lunch, two men would sit there, chess board in front of them, timer at their side, and
Continue reading[This is a long one, good for a cozy read on a winter day.] I’m a pessimist. I’ve learned through experience that most things go wrong, whether in the world or in my life. Still, I never completely lose hope. If I didn’t have hope, frankly, I would stop moving
Continue readingI found myself in conversation today with a Progressive who thought that Obama’s oval office address was just wonderful. “What did you like about it?” I asked him. “It was a very mature speech,” the Progressive replied, “and he said what I would have said.” Of course I asked, “What
Continue readingThis video is from 2007, when George “Islam is a religion of peace” Bush was still President, but it could have been created yesterday, and been just as accurate. Indeed, in light of Obama’s frantic efforts Sunday night to avoid placing the word “Islam” anywhere near the word “terrorism,” the
Continue readingIt’s ironic that on the eve of the 74th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, our President announced that the only thing that is infamous is (a) the Constitution (with primary focus on the 1st and 2nd Amendments) and (b) the apparently boundless (but surprisingly never acted upon) racism,
Continue readingOne doesn’t have to be psychic to predict what Obama will say. It’s always the same old Leftist pabulum. Although finally forced to acknowledge that the San Bernardino attack was terrorism, he worked desperately hard to stick to that old “lone wolf” narrative. (I won’t repeat my take on the
