Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I know that you’ve already read about, and probably seen, the New Yorker’s latest cover, the “parody” of “right wing” views about Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama. I think Charles Johnson has the best summation of the New Yorker‘s thinking (along with a reproduction of the cover): The cover is
Continue readingThe story is amazing and the source — the normally anti-American Spiegel (a German magazine) — is equally amazing. According to this story, things in Baghdad are going really well, and the citizens have a renewed sense of well-being and purpose: There is an unexpected air of normalcy prevailing in
Continue readingI heard on Dennis Prager today a call from a British man who pointed out that, in the 10 years of Tony Blair’s socialism, every major institution in Britain declined. And the more the government meddled, the greater the decline. Today’s British papers offer yet another example: The dental portion
Continue readingI have two wonderful things for you to read on the subject of patriotism. The first is from Zabrina, at Thought You’d Never Ask, in which she dispenses some words of wisdom to a child about to head off to college. The second is from Jonah Goldberg, who explains why
Continue readingI was pondering whether to post about Wesley Clark’s latest inanity, to the effect that McCain’s experience as a POW does not prove his leadership abilities. A conversation I had today with a beloved liberal (that would be my dear, dear mother) made me decide to do so. A lot
Continue reading“Mensch” is a fairly unique Yiddish word, in that, in this single word, Jews have managed to encompass vast discourses on our fundamental humanity — or lack therefore. For those who know German, “mench” is a prosaic word that simply means person. For Jews, however, the notion of what it
Continue readingIf you haven’t already heard it, please listen to Dennis Prager’s June 26th interview with Dick Morris about Morris’ new book Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies … Are Scamming Us … and What to Do
Continue readingI don’t need to tell you that Obama’s lies are catching up with him. What I wanted to point out is that others are catching up to the unique nature of Obama’s lies, something I blogged about here and here. My example is Ed Morrissey, who says neatly in one
Continue readingFrom 1987 through 2003, I listened to NPR with religious fervor. It was my church. Everything I knew, I knew from NPR. In 2003, I discovered the internet and began following up on stories I heard on NPR. I learned for the first time that NPR had not only an
Continue readingJust in time for July 4th, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Second Amendment says what it means and means what it says. I personally am not now, nor have I ever been, a gun owner. I keep meaning to go the local firing range and take lessons (operating on
Continue readingWhile I was sleeping, Obama and Co. threw another long-time associate under the bus. What I’m waiting for is the moment when these former friends and acolytes pull a McClellan and turn on him. It won’t be soon. Since they’re true believers, they’ll keep their mouths shut until their man
Continue readingI’ve reminded you to be proud of your new age racism — a racism firmly based, not on Obama’s skin color, but on his political views, scary associates, corruption and incompetence. It’s becoming more and more clear that we all need to hang onto the fact that our Year 2008
Continue readingThe very Junior Senator from Illinois, the one who lies, cheats and, as we now see, steals, thinks well of himself, very, very well. His most recent act of self-aggrandizement (did I mention that he’s a narcissist?) is to appropriate the Presidential Seal for his own. As you can see
Continue readingMona Charen, quite amusingly, hooks into the hysteria surrounding the media’s favorite candidate: You know how most politicians say one thing and do another? Well, Barack is different. He gave Hillary Clinton quite a dressing down during the primaries in the Rust Belt for having once supported NAFTA, a treaty
Continue readingLawrence Lindsey explains in language even a numerophobe can understand precisely why Obama’s Social Security proposal isn’t just mean-spirted, pandering and illogical, but is also disastrous for the American economy: Although the formula connecting benefits to tax payments or “contributions” has evolved slightly over time, it still adheres to this
