Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’m baaaack! Let me dive right in. The party of “Government, get out of my bedroom!” invades New York bedrooms When it comes to teenage sex and abortion, or just plain old sex and abortion, the Left’s rallying cry for decades has been clear: “Government, get out of the bedroom.”
Continue readingIt’s been one of those days: I took two family members to two different doctors’ appointments, went to a work meeting, went grocery shopping, and cooked dinner. It’s 8:30 at night where I am, and this is the first time today that I’m sitting down at the computer. I still
Continue readingThe phrase “size matters” often has sexual connotations, but not in this post. Instead, I’m talking about the dynamics of violence. In the real world, as opposed to a Leftist utopia, big usual has an advantage over small in matters of violence, with weapons being the great equalizer. While I know
Continue readingI’ve got a lot of open tabs with all sorts of random, but useful and interesting, information. Here goes…. Whither Eric Holder? The Watcher’s Council has a new forum up, this one examining Eric Holder’s resignation and his future plans. I don’t think I’m giving too much away if I
Continue readingI know you’re desperately curious to get to the stain removal part of this post, but you’ll have to bear with me as I first work my way through the Leftist obsession with gender roles and the Leftist denial about biologically programmed gender roles before I finally get to the
Continue readingKevin Williamson has a brilliant article about modern feminism. I won’t summarize it. I’ll just urge you to read it. I’ve called myself a small “l” libertarian, to distinguish myself from the Ron Paul crowd. Richard A. Epstein has given me an even better name for my political view, one
Continue readingWinter break this year was very pleasant. As I may have written before, while I’m not a big fan of small children, I really like teenagers, especially the teenagers my kids bring home. We live in a tight-knit community and my house is often a gathering spot for the kids
Continue readingThere’s so much good stuff out there on Mondays. All the pent-up writer’s instinct and energy from the weekend seems to pour over into this day. Here’s some of that good stuff: Camille Paglia points out the obvious: it’s false that a woman without a man is like a fish
Continue readingThe school year has started again and, with it, the insanity that is Zero Tolerance in America’s public schools. The Washington Post, which originally reported the story, helpfully explains that our nation’s schools have been busy little bees for the past year when it comes to criminalizing child’s play. I
Continue readingEarlier today, while my kids were still at school, I wrote about the way in which unions pushed a Leftist agenda into the classroom. I should not have been surprised, therefore, when Little Bookworm came home from high school and told me that, because one of the teachers was absent,
Continue readingI’ve been thinking (and if those aren’t ominous words, I don’t know what are). I’ve been thinking about the Left’s attack on stay-at-home Mom’s, an attack that Hilary Rosen started, and that others have continued. To refresh your recollection, let’s start with Rosen, who says that Ann Romney “has actually
Continue readingKim Priestap, who blogs at Up North Mommy, got an impassioned email from the Democratic Party, raving about Elena Kagan. Does it rave about her brains? No (although it mentions as an aside that she’s “among the best legal minds this country has to offer,” which is a depressing comment
Continue readingI need help from you guys developing a thought. The thought started with this picture of Michelle Obama in a deep-veed, fluffy blouse; a saggy sweater; a bondage belt; and the gypsy skirt from hell: Aside from the fact that the picture pretty much puts the lie forever to the

I won’t repeat here (or link to)

For them, killing the sick, starved Dutch ex-POWs, all still clustered in the camps pending repatriation, was like shooting
