Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In honor of Tom Harkin’s most recent attack on American troops, John Hawkins, at Right Wing News, has assembled a fine collection of quotations from the Statists, in which they express their deep, abiding feelings for those Americans who put their lives on the line daily to protect us. Some
Continue readingOne of the first things you learn as litigation defense counsel is that you will lose if you let the plaintiff control the case’s message. It’s easy to let this happen, because the plaintiff comes out of the gate like gangbusters, and the defendant finds himself, logically, in a defensive,
Continue readingI’ve decided it’s time to jettison entirely the words “Left” and “Right” when used with reference to political ideologies. I came to this conclusion after a very interesting discussion with my mother. While we were talking about the military Junta in Burma, she let drop the fact that she believes
Continue readingMy kids used to go to a wonderful little private school. It was a stretch to afford it, but I felt the benefits outweighed the burden. Then the tuition went up, and up, and up. So we left. The wonderful little private school is now precisely like all the other
Continue readingWhen I was growing up, my best friend had the most wonderful grandparents. They were an incredibly flamboyant Polish couple who escaped the Holocaust because the woman was so charming she was able to talk the Nazis into letting them leave (with the help of some diamonds as bribes). He
Continue readingIn keeping with my prior post, about the callous illogical shown in one of the Times’ most recent articles, I’d like to highlight Obama’s insistence on a “windfall profits tax” — another “bright” idea showing a rather typical Democratic refusal to recognize cause and effect, not to mention a willful
Continue readingDQ sent me this. He laughed, his wife laughed, and I laughed. I’m betting you’ll laugh too: 22 WAYS TO BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT IT’S NOT SO HARD, EVEN A CAVEMAN CAN DO IT…. 1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand. 2. You have
Continue readingThe most un-rev Jeremiah Wright elaborated today on his various statements during an appearance at the National Press Club. What he had to say was most enlightening since, when he wasn’t prevaricating or deflecting a point with self-deprecating humor, he sounded pretty ugly. Here are a few things that caught
Continue readingMarin is about as liberal a community as one can possibly find. That means that the analyst for the local political newspaper is a liberal too. Right now, he’s a very depressed liberal, since he’s absolutely certain that the Democrats are imploding, leading to the inevitability of a McCain victory:
Continue readingYesterday, Drudge had a headline that said something along the lines of: “98% of historians judge Bush’s presidency a failure.” I didn’t bother to check out the article. It didn’t matter to me whether someone polled 10 historians or 1000. I still knew with pretty good certainty a few underlying
Continue readingConservatives believe that it is dangerous to tumble into bed with someone instantly. 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
Continue readingHere’s Barack Obama, speaking to the plutocrats “You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, a lot of them — like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they’ve gone through the Clinton
Continue readingMichael Yon, who appropriately boasts that he is probably the most experienced reporter in Iraq, reminds us that Congress must stop obsessing about the past in Iraq and must approach Iraq as a winnable situation. He begins by detailing the enormous strides — both practical and “hearts and mind” stuff
Continue readingAt American Thinker, James Edmund Pennington definitively explodes the myth that Obama is a “post-racial” candidate. In other words, Geraldine Ferraro had it absolutely right when she said, without any of Pennington’s careful analysis, that Obama ascended as quickly as he did solely because of his race. And as Pennington
Continue readingWriting at the American Thinker, J.R. Dunn has a scathing indictment of modern liberalism, starting with the 1968 Democratic convention. I think the whole article is worth reading, especially the bit about the Clinton-esque corruption of Governors Spitzer, McCreevy and Paterson, but I was especially taken with this run-down, which
