Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Near the end of his talk about American communists’ long-term plan (now coming to fruition) to flood America with a permanent Democrat majority through Hispanic amnesty, Trevor Loudon tossed in an interesting throwaway. When someone asked him why Leftists would want to reduce the US to the status of a Latin American banana Republic,
Continue readingYesterday, as my little Bookworm and I were driving along, she turned to me and said, “You know what my dream job would be, Mom? It want to be a singer who actually makes money and doesn’t have to have all sorts of other horrible jobs to pay the rent.” Inspired,
Continue readingYesterday, as we were driving along, my daughter asked me if I’d heard about the gal in Texas, a college student, who posts pictures of her African big game shots (some dead, some tranquilized) on Facebook. I’d heard about it vaguely, so my daughter elaborated. “They’re trying to kick her
Continue readingFacebook’s decision to add something like 50 new gender identification categories to its “about me” section caused a small flurry of interest in the news and in social media. Progressives embraced the change because it’s a step towards ending the stultifying limitations of male and female. Conservatives were upset by
Continue readingA caller to the Rush Limbaugh show today asked Rush how to get the media to change its tune. Rush’s response was that this will never happen. The media is an arm of the Democrat Party and that’s the end of it. Conservatives have to make their case outside of
Continue readingI adore Facebook. In the “real me” Facebook world, I have about 200 friends, reflecting all different phases of my life, from junior high school on up. I enjoy watching their lives unfold. I go on their travels with them, see their kids grow up (some of whom friend me
Continue readingI really love Facebook. It helps me hone my epigrammatic skills, since I believe it demands some brevity; it allows me, in sneaky fashion, to expose my liberal friends to articles and ideas that don’t normally appear on their horizons; and it allows me to get a window into what
Continue reading[UPDATE: The magical Chukker left a comment with a link to this New York Times article, which is precisely the article I meant and that I incorrectly tied to The New Yorker.] I stopped taking The New Yorker seriously many years ago. Even before I crossed the political Rubicon, I
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I ranted about the nasty vapidity that characterizes the “posters” my liberal friends put up on Facebook whenever an election draws near. I also mentioned that my conservative friends consistently post more substantive articles and images. This one, from my brother-in-law, manages to be both pithy
Continue readingProgressives and narcissists share an unpleasant trait: If you make a mistake, it proves that you and your ideas are inferior; if they make a mistake, it’s just a mistake. Your mistake is irremediable, because it’s intrinsic to who you are; their mistake is just one of those things, and
Continue readingMy Facebook friends are besides themselves with delight about Obama’s victory. I get that. What I don’t appreciate is the “kick ’em while they’re down” attitude that these enlightened people show. Herewith, the latest offerings from the sore winners on Facebook. Progressives conflate truly stupid statements about human biology (that
Continue readingUsually, I post about what I’ve found on Facebook — the anger, the silliness, and the misinformation from my Liberal friends. Today, I’m doing something different. I’m posting about what I didn’t find on Facebook. You see, Facebook was apparently unwilling to tolerate a poster that suggested that Obama had
Continue readingA picture is making the rounds amongst my liberal Facebook friends, complete with the caption that “This says it all to me.” I’m actually not sure what “all” the picture says. That Romney smiles at people performing a service for him while Obama gives them a fist bump? If the
Continue readingWith a birthday that falls very close to July 4, I’ve always been quite proprietorial about this holiday. One small part of my brain, while watching fireworks, always thinks “For me? Why thank you!” Fortunately, that’s only a smart part of my brain at work. The bigger part of my
Continue readingI mentioned in an earlier post the interesting fact that, on my Facebook page, it is my straight friends, not my gay friends, who are the most enthusiastic supporters of gay marriage. This is not to say that my gay friends are slacking in their support. They just lack the
