Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In the past four years, conservatives have felt disheartened by the Obama deluge. Since he first took office, conservatives have been playing defense on so many things: ObamaCare, changes in the military to allow gays to serve openly and women to serve in combat roles, attacks on Israel, a non-declared

Continue readingI wrote a long post at Mr. Conservative about Barack Obama’s potential vulnerability to serious action based upon his conduct as president. Some of the post expresses my thoughts, some of it is more a reflection of others’ ideas. I’ll post here the redacted version that’s pure me. I’d like
Continue reading(I wrote another post yesterday for Mr. Conservative that is pure Bookworm Room — so much so that I almost hesitated to put it on the Mr. Conservative site. I did, though, because I had deadlines. And now I’m publishing it here, in slightly modified form, so that I can
Continue reading(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 readingCongressional Republicans have been working hard lately at something we all should care about — talking to the Benghazi survivors. Sen. Lindsay Graham has been making it something of a personal crusade. As far as he’s concerned, there’s a cover-up going on: Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, in an extensive interview
Continue readingHillary told voters that, when the 3 a.m. phone call came and the White House answered that call, she would have better qualifications to deal with whatever emergency awaited the President: I don’t think even Hillary could have envisioned that Obama would ignore the call entirely: The White House left

Continue readingMy post title says President Obama has been tactless of late. That’s not true. He’s always been tactless. Remember him denigrating handicapped people on the Jay Leno show? Lately, though, the President has upped his game. Last week, shortly before the Sandy Hook shooting that saw myriad children die, Obama

Continue readingI hate cooking. That’s not hyperbole. Restaurants are a constant temptation, but I resist because, during my young lawyer days, I spent way too much of my money on restaurants. With college and old age to plan for, I can’t eat out whenever I like — which is every night.
Continue readingSo, now we know that Susan Rice made the talk show rounds relying on an information sheet that “somehow” got modified between the CIA and Rice. Hmmm. Who had the authority to do that? Hmmm. I’m sure it wasn’t someone subordinate to Petraeus. Maybe it was someone higher up the
Continue readingHere’s what didn’t happen in Benghazi on September 11, 2012: Despite advanced warning of the attack, and despite urgent, detail rich phone calls from the CIA/former Navy SEAL operatives under attack, and despite real time video feeds of events unfolding on the ground,* no one came to help. No one

I realize that such recognition will not bring these men back, but acknowledging their sacrifice is something we do for the good of the country. If we cannot honor those

For the time being, I’ll just pass interesting links on to you. Please feel free to do the same. *** The former Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet has written a
