Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Find here a collection of the Twitter-sphere’s best takes about the danger to our democracy from social media giants silencing Alex Jones and InfoWars. Before I go anywhere with this post, let me say that I am in no way, shape, or form an Alex Jones fan. I’ve never listened
Continue readingSome time ago, a Political Science professor, Bruce Gilley, wrote an article, The Case For Colonialism. It was published by Third World Quarterly after a “double-blind peer review.” The article is a well-researched critique of modern historical revisionism and hard left academic bias as concerns colonialism. One bon-mot: It is hard to overstate

SJWs flex their power by being “offended” when they hear comedians. I’m seldom offended by the content, but I’m always offended by the lack of humor. Last night, I had some down time (a short commodity today) and I watched a movie that came out in 2015, but is still

Google’s promise was that it would allow an unfettered platform for free speech and thought. Its college-grad employees, though, made it a fascism farm. I stopped using Google’s search engine years ago, although I’m still chained to Gmail. I was one of the first Gmail users back when it was

Despite a small spark of rationality, Macalester College’s weekly paper displays the Progressive hate, ignorance, and nonsense at an American college. Knowing my passion for free speech, someone sent me a small sign of hope: a link to a student-written opinion piece from the weekly student newspaper at Macalester University

Weird year at the Bookworm Room and beyond. My year was bookended by the deaths of my mother and my mentor. Out in the bigger world, people are coping with the deaths of icons and, if they’re Progressives, the collapse of their fantasy political world. To me, there are really

Facebook just announced that it will start cracking down on what it calls “fake news.” We know what that means: It will block anything that does not toe the Democrat party line. To this end, it’s teaming with such hard-Left luminaries as Snopes, the Associated Press, and ABC to identify

The other day, I wrote a post entitled “Dear Elites — no, Trump is not a fascist, but Hillary probably is.” I illustrated it with a picture I found on the internet of Hillary giving her famous “what difference does it make [that four men died on my watch]” testimony,
Continue readingOne of the truisms I grew up hearing is that “revolutions always eat their own.” I have understood this to mean that, in any revolutionary movement, the second generation, having been marinated longer in the revolutionary brine, is more extreme than the first generation and invariably purges that first generation.
Continue readingStella Paul notes something I haven’t seen discussed elsewhere when it comes to Obamacare: the devastating effect it will have on people who travel or divide their time between two locations. The new policies are narrowly locked into local care providers. But people aren’t always in the same locality. Both
Continue readingThe People’s Republic of Berkeley or, as it’s more commonly known, the University of California, Berkeley, has stayed true to its core Orwellian Leftism by banning language. Today’s targeted “bad thinking” is the phrase “illegal immigrant.” According to the censors occupying Berkeley’s student government, that phrase is “racially charged,” “dehumanizes”

At the end of the post, Bad Catholic invites readers to sign a
