Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The gal who started the Marin conservative gatherings that I’ve had the pleasure of attending sent out a broadcast email reminding all conservatives, especially those trapped in blue communities, that it’s not enough to sit at home, read the blogs and complain. We have to work towards a change in
Continue readingThe San Francisco Chronicle ran an article today touting the demise of the GOP in California: With their registrations sinking and their political clout withering, California Republicans have come out of the November election in danger of slipping into political irrelevance across much of the state. [snip] Since 2004, Republican

I’m reprinting a slightly edited version here, not just because I think it describes well the Arab psyche that drives so much of current international politics (and fears) today, but also because I think it does a
Continue readingConservatives are regrouping and trying to come up with approaches to remarket themselves to Americans. Quin Hillyer thinks it’s too late. He may well be right, but I’m not taking a defeatist attitude. The problem is that, once we give up, he’ll definitely be right. As it is, we have
Continue readingI’m getting emails from committed conservatives who are unhappy right now, feeling that the air has gone out of the election balloon. I’m looking at things a different way. The ACORN registration fraud has inflated the numbers of registered Democrats. Given that some people registered as Dems 72 times, there
Continue readingDuring this political campaign, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sashi McEntee, who is running as the San Francisco/North Bay Republican candidate for the California State Senate. You only need a few minutes in Sashi’s company to realize that she is intelligent, energetic, blessedly pragmatic, and extremely nice. Her politics

Kathleen Sebelius accused Republicans on Tuesday of injecting race into the presidential campaign, arguing that they are using “code language” to convince Midwesterners that Democrat Barack Obama is different from them.”Have

It’s fascinating to see the AP headlines, each of which is snarky, dismissive or critical of Palin in some

I understand

The ancient desert rule condemning a thief to lose his hand (an idea that Mohammed co-opted), was not intended simply to
Continue readingAndrew Breitbart has written an upfront, in your face demand that Hollywood open the door to the last remaining closet in that company town: conservatism. In it, he points out that Hollywood finds everything forgiveable except for a failure to conform to the prevailing Progressive political orthodoxy: But in this

They’re appalled by the raunchy hook-up culture amongst our young people, one that says it’s okay to have sex on the first date, as long as you try to line up reasonable precautions to limit some of
