Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
For at least a couple of hundred years in America, the “letters to the editor” section of any newspaper has been the one place where people can express views opposing a newspaper’s editorial content. Newspapers felt sufficiently strong in their viewpoints that they figured that a few crackpot letters wouldn’t
Continue readingNormally, when I see the usual liberal talking points on my Facebook page, I try to ignore them lest I damage my blood pressure. Today, though, I got a wall of stupid. I’ve already written here about the profound ignorance that lies behind the progressive masses’ repeated claim that Obamacare
Continue readingMy stock response to all those liberal Facebook friends who have insisted that the House is “unconstitutionally” holding Obamacare hostage, is that the Founders named it the “House of Representatives” and gave it the power of the purse for a reason. The House’s members serve for much shorter terms than
Continue readingWhew! I’ve been going straight through since 5:30 this morning, and this is my first chance to sit down and talk politics. The big deal today as far as I can tell is that the House voted to pass a budget that funds everything but Obamacare. I’ve already discussed the
Continue readingDarryl Issa has tweeted out one of the most appalling photographs I’ve ever seen emerge from the United States House of Representatives. Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. You remember what happened on that day, don’t you?
Continue readingKeith Koffler has been around Washington, D.C., for a very long time, and he has a theory about Congress’s remarkable silence regarding both events in Syria and Obama’s huffery and puffery regarding events in Syria. Let me just say that his theory is not pretty. Indeed, it’s disgusting, and embarrassing,
Continue readingIn my earlier post today, I said that, in the wake of the lies the Gang of Eight told, followed by the Senate’s passage of a 1,200 page immigration bill that will go a long way to destroying the American working class, the Republicans have tearfully promised never to be
Continue readingI wrote this for Mr. Conservative, but it works just as nicely here: When the Sandy Hook tragedy occurred, Senator Dianne Feinstein ghoulishly whipped out of her filing cabinet a gun control bill that she’d had waiting for just such a moment. She shilled it endlessly. She schmoozed with British
Continue readingI just don’t have a lot to say right now. Here are some posts I enjoyed today, though: The Republican House’s passive-aggressive approach to Obama. Core issues of evil regarding bombings, abortion, and the media. And a question for you: Have you noticed that Obama and fellow Dems have been
Continue readingWhew! I’m finally current on my email, a pleasant state of things that should last at least two days, or maybe four. I’m sufficiently self-aware to know that my chronic procrastination damages my life, not to mention my relationships. Despite that knowledge, though, I still procrastinate. It’s very frustrating to
Continue reading(To win over the electorate, conservatives have to be seen as a party with fresh ideas that benefit all Americans. This is the first in a series of Tipping Point posts, promoting ideas that will appeal to all voters, while becoming signature initiatives for conservatives and Republicans.) Did you know
Continue readingI don’t have the time (or, frankly, the inclination) to do full posts on each of these links, but they are all worthy contenders for your attention: John Steele Gordon compares Obama’s contempt for Congress with LBJ’s respect for that institution and willingness to collaborate with it to achieve his
Continue readingFor many years, I have counted Andrea Shea King — the Radio Patriot — as one of my closest blog friends. By this I mean that, although I haven’t met her, I’ve corresponded with her for so many years that I’ve come to know her well and to respect her
Continue readingI’ve now had the chance to digest myriad analyses of the Roberts decision on ObamaCare. I think I can sum up the various conclusions that liberal and conservative pundits have reached. Here goes: The decision is a victory for Obama and the Democrats because it keeps ObamaCare on the books.
Continue readingI assume that you all know by know that President Obama has issued an executive order granting amnesty to young illegal immigrants. It’s a clever move. Marco Rubio had already proposed something similar, so Obama can say that at least some smart Republicans are already on board with the idea.
