Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A Progressive friend is relentlessly pushing “Trump is awful” stories on me. I, a conservative, invariably counter by pointing out that Hillary’s list of sins and failures is infinitely worse. I realized yesterday that my arguments are irrelevant. My friend will never vote for someone who is not 100% pro-abortion,

WOW! Magazine, like the Watcher’s Council itself, is a collaborative effort. That means we all publish — and we all publicize. The latter task is a pleasure because I like the thought of sharing with you all these wonderful posts by my fellow Council members. It’s an especially great pleasure

Gun control proponents have a problem. Irrefutable data shows that, since 1992, as American gun ownership has gone up, crime has gone down. When pressed about the dramatic decrease in crime, the best that the Left can do is to point to anything but the increase in privately held weapons:

I would say that the Brexit vote left me EUphoric, but that would be wrong. From now on, I’m just phoric. And for added phoria, some great political cartoons and a few just plain silly things:
Continue readingAgain, my apologies for a quiet day. Between finalizing some matters relating to my Mom’s estate, relatives in from out-of-town, and just a touch of existential despair about the news, I either didn’t have time or heart to blog today. I do however have wonderful posters. This illustrated edition is
Continue readingPart of why Andrew Breitbart was such an explosive presence in the conservative community was because he fully appreciated that “Politics is downstream from culture.” People’s attitudes flow from the culture around them, rather than from the political platforms dragged out and speeches made every four years. That’s why I

I’m still not going to start discussing the “meaning” of the San Bernardino shooting. I’ll just list the dots: 1. 14 people were

Having said that, I feel obligated to point out that France, which has expended a great deal of energy trying to appease the Muslim crocodile (including trying to undermine

I’ve celebrated this wonderful day by (a) practically sterilizing the room of an unwelcome house guest who left a surprising
Continue readingI’m sorry for the long silence, but to quote Granny Clampett, “I was just plumb tuckered out.” Between escalating work demands and the usual family demands, I haven’t had either spare energy or spare time. It was only two days ago that I stopped being in denial and accepted that,
Continue readingA friend emailed me this. I think it’s a remarkably good distillation of the giant values chasm between Statists and Individualists/Constitutionalists in this country: When you vote for an incumbent you are perpetuating our government as it is now. Nothing will change. These three, short sentences tell you a lot
