Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If there were a speed-blogging competition, my goal would be to win it with this round-up post. I’d meant to blog at length and at leisure today, but life caught up, including a glitch with the bank, which lost the signatures that would enable me to liquidate my mother’s trust.
Continue readingBack in 2008, I thought to myself “The new internet media, when combined with existing conservative talk shows and Fox news, will be what finally breaks through the old media’s stranglehold on information in America. Old media is — thank God — dying.” Old media got Barack Obama elected president. Back
Continue readingBear with me, as I begin this post about America’s middle class committing genteel suicide by retelling the sordid story of a distinguished law firm at which I once worked. The story’s purpose is to illustrate something about middle class morals, which are too often tied to fear over missing
Continue readingBush didn’t, Obama wouldn’t, but the next president should: Call into the Oval Office the leaders of Muslim communities throughout America to say, “Because of the First Amendment, the fact that you and the people in your community practice Islam is irrelevant to us in America. Your faith is your
Continue readingInteresting gaffe for Bill to make, right up there with his wife’s cheerful assurance that she’s going to throw coal miners out of work:
Continue readingWolf Howling gave me permission to re-print in its entirety his splendid, insightful, intelligent, informed, far-reaching, and tightly-written rant about everything that’s wrong with the American political system as we head into the 2016 election. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Trump, Clinton, The American Republic & The Ides Of March
Continue readingOne of the things Ted Cruz is trying to do to distinguish himself from the old white socialist hippie farts on the Democrat side of the aisle is to come up with campaign promotional material that’s a little hip and edgy. Although it’s 17 years old, the movie Office Space, which Mike Judge
Continue readingAs this election year’s craziness continues, I keep trying to keep myself from getting upset. My mantra is that I should save my energies for things I can change, either directly or through my own small contributions. For everything else, I need to relax and watch the passing spectacle. That’s
Continue readingAll of the posts I’ll link to pre-date today’s New Hampshire primary. This is a NH primary-free zone. You might find it refreshing. And now, to the good stuff: Trump could destroy conservativism in America for decades. I think Charles Krauthammer hits the ball out of the park on this
Continue readingFound it on Facebook. Trump’s the foil in this joke, but it could have been anyone: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a bar. Donald leans over, and with a smile on his face, says, “The media are really tearing you apart for that scandal.” Hillary: “You mean my
Continue readingIt’s been some time since my last round-up so, without further ado: A primer for those who need to be reminded why Hillary should be incarcerated, not inaugurated. Deroy Murdock has a knack for political parables. Using the example of the “Foggy Bottom Department Store,” he makes it clear just how
Continue readingHillary supporters know why their beloved “first female president” is in danger of getting crushed by the Bernie juggernaut. It’s a conspiracy and, if the Left discerns a conspiracy on the Right, you just know who they’re going to tag: Yes! It’s all the fault of the Koch brothers that
Continue readingI’m about to make one of my huge leaps from the micro to the macro, so bear with me here. I just can’t help but notice a distinct similarity between the punitive parenting style I see in a couple of Progressive fathers I know and Bernie Sander’s hard Left, tax-the-rich politics.
Continue readingFor the even marginally sentient and morally decent Hillary supporter, it’s going to take a lot to look past all the dirt swirling around her in this election. This short, funny video may be from 2008, but it actually has more resonance now then it did then, because the issues
Continue readingAnother day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
