Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I don’t often do this, as you know, but I’m going to quote Jennifer Rubin’s post in its entirety here. I think it’s important that people understand precisely what is going on in Washington and how it’s affecting men and women in Afghanistan. Rubin, unsurprisingly, does as good a job
Continue readingLast week, I recommended that you read Carl Cannon’s Sarah “Barracuda” Palin and the Piranhas of the Press. Cannon, who holds no brief for Palin, nevertheless thinks that the press’s behavior once she was on the national scene demonstrates that the American media is in freefall. Cannon begins by pointing
Continue readingIn medieval times, the king’s fool was often the only one who could speak the truth, but that in the guise of a joke. Joe Biden is a little bit different. Obama didn’t mean him to be the truth-speaking fool but, apparently, the guy can’t help himself. AJ Strata caught
Continue readingArgghhh! is running a caption contest for a photo showing Joe Biden speaking to a group enrolled in the Navy SEALS program. When you see the picture, you’ll understand why so many of the proposed captions involve the size of a gun or some other, more personal weapon. I’m no
Continue readingYesterday, Mr. Bookworm and I found ourselves in a car heading south. As we passed the Marriott at which Sarah Palin spoke (a speech I got to hear in person), this dialog ensued: Me: That’s where Sarah Palin spoke. Mr. Bookworm: Really? Are you still going to tell me that
Continue readingThe MSM has been remarkably cavalier about Joe Biden’s bizarre statement regarding the “fact” that America will be attacked six months into a Barack Obama presidency and that people will be shocked and disappointed by Obama’s response (meaning that he’ll either collapse in a sobbing heap, thereby horrifying most Americans,
Continue readingBig Lizard, rather than just looking at the obvious message in Biden’s “faux pas” about Obama’s international crisis chops (or lack thereof), took the time to go into the Way Back machine and find out just which particular crisis Biden meant — and it ain’t good folks.
Continue readingThe media is working hard to prevent the American people from hearing what comes from the conservatives, whether by ignoring it altogether, or by using selective cut and paste, or by engaging in intentional humiliation tactics (with their opposite number being saved for Obama). Sometimes, though, verbal judo works —
Continue readingThe subtitle to the Wall Street Journal’s article, Biden’s Fantasy World, says it all: Sarah Palin may not know as much about the world, but at least most of what she knows is true.” Biden not only lied during the debate, he showed himself well ensconced in an alternate reality.
Continue readingI don’t know whether this Churchill story is true. I first read it about 30 years ago in a book printed about 50 years ago. It doesn’t sound like the man, but it’s a good story anyway for my purposes. Churchill was asked to give a speech to a trade
Continue readingCharles Johnson, at LGF, is getting hacked off. As we could have predicted (and I’m sure he did too), the media is completely ignoring that, on multiple occasions, Biden lied through his teeth. Johnson took the five biggest lies — and the ones that are proven to be lies by
Continue readingI’ve watched almost all of the debate, but it’s bedtime now, and I’ll have to save the rest for later. Three comments: 1. The first, the most obvious, and the most pressing question: How many botoxes did they kill to create that abnormally smooth, completely motionless forehead Biden was sporting?
Continue readingIt’s Saturday and I’m posting at McCain-Palin 2008. As always, since I think it’s a wonderful cooperative blog, I’d like to get more traffic headed its way and, therefore, I’m publishing the beginning of my post here in the hope that you finish reading the rest of it there: Biden
Continue readingGovernments tax people. They always have. A good question to ask, though, and one we haven’t seen asked lately is — what’s that money for? The Founders had an idea about what taxes were for. In the Constitution Art. I, Sec. 8, they spelled out the purpose behind taxes: The
Continue readingWhen the going gets tough, the candidate of hope and change, the one who assured us we’re in for the era of “a new kind of politics,” starts rolling around in the dirt and barking out the same old Chicago thuggery: “Sen. McCain bragged about how as chairman of the
